Hello Gurus,
I have struggling with a gambling problem for quite some years now and unfortunately it has worsened as of late and I have sought out any and every place where I can play slots as of late.
That is how I found Pinnacle. I was allowed to register, deposit and play 420 euros before realizing I should have been excluded due to a gambling problem as requested in an email I sent to over 300 casinos as early as April 2021.
The support staff is telling me they are not receiving any email from me when I try to forward them the email sent to Pinnacle in 2021 as proof. I would be happy to forward this email and other relevant information to the Guru team.
