Case summary

4 months ago

The player from Chile suffered from a gambling addiction and was trying to close his account. The casino wouldn't allow the closure due to blurry pictures in the required selfie with ID and account. Despite the player's pleas, the account remained open. We requested the casino to close the account immediately, emphasizing the player's addiction. The casino complied and permanently blocked the account, preventing further losses. The player expressed gratitude for the resolution.

I urgently need to close my account because I suffer from severe gambling addiction, and the casino will not allow me to do so because the data in the selfie they require from both my ID card and the account on my phone appear blurry. I've explained that I can't improve the image quality and pleaded with them in the last email I sent, but they still won't close my account. Please, I need your help as I've hit rock bottom.

Dear Christian81,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please understand that in order to be successfully self-excluded from a casino website, you have to pass the KYC verification.

When taking photographs for verification, it's important to abide by the following rules:

  • The photographs should be clear and of high quality.
  • The document's information should be clearly visible.
  • Your face should be fully visible and not covered by the document.

Could you please advise which documents you provided and if any of your documents were approved in verification?

Have you specified in your self-exclusion request that you wish to self-exclude due to gambling addiction?

When was the last time you sent your photographs to the casino?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Veronika

Yes, I indicated my addiction and asked them to please close the account. This is the third or fourth time I've asked them and they don't want to because the data comes out blurry. Yesterday was the last time I sent my photograph. The document I sent was my identity card, which is the same as the one approved in the verification, only in that case I sent it scanned.

Thank you for the email. However, the selfie you provided doesn't meet the requirements I mentioned in my first response.

Could you re-take the photograph with your ID and your casino profile on the computer screen in the background?

Please make sure to take a photo in daylight.

Please don't cover the ID with your hand.

Make sure that the text on the ID is visible and readable. In the photograph you provided, the text is blurred and it is difficult to verify your information.

Of course I mentioned addiction. What's more, I started playing again and I want them to block me, and today I played in 2 of their Russian blackjack rooms and they literally stole around 100,000 clp from me. I placed the bet and they rejected it and kept the bet money without me having played. I complained to support and they told me that if I didn't take a screenshot they wouldn't give me my money back. I took 2 screenshots, one before betting and one after, where the bet was rejected and they didn't give me the money back. I have screenshots of conversations and one of the game rooms. They told me that their system was taken to mean that I had played and lost, since I placed the bet but did not play. I need the money back that I didn't play and it was STOLEN from me!!! file

Hello!

Please write to the technical support chat and provide the exact time when the funds were not returned to your balance. The technical support operators will create a task for the specialists to clarify this situation with the game provider.


Regarding the account block.

We have reviewed your messages in the chat and did not find any information about gambling addiction. We can block your account through this forum, or you can inform an operator in the chat, and they will block it for you. However, we want to warn you that this should be done after resolving the situation with the game provider. If there was an error and your account gets blocked, we will not be able to credit the funds to you.

Dear Pin-Up Casino team,

I kindly request that you close the player's account promptly to prevent any further loss of funds, considering you are already aware of his addiction.

Hello, Jozef!

We can do this now, but then he will not be able to recover the money lost in the game (if confirmed by the game provider) since the account will already be blocked.

If Cristian81 confirms the block, we are ready to block his account. He just needs to specify the time frame.

Dear: Please block here. Regarding the THEFT of approximately 100,000 clp suffered, I gave it to you since through the chat they told me that this money was bet and played, which is not true, since it was bet, the bet was rejected and they deducted MY MONEY from the balance that It was never played. Please block immediately. The Worst Casino I have ever played in. I want the blockade forever

Dear Pin-Up Casino team,

Please inform us when the account is closed. I trust you understand that the timeframe is not up for discussion, as the reason - a gambling problem - speaks for itself. Be aware that after a player informs the casino about having gambling issues, such an account should be permanently closed without a chance to reopen. Funds and everything can be settled after; the first focus is to not allow the player to incur further losses. Since such a player cannot control their actions and may lose further amounts.
