The player from Sweden self-excluded permanently from Platincasino in 2021 due to a gambling addiction but has since gambled again after his block was removed without explanation. He inquires about the possibility of recovering his lost funds.
I blocked myself from Platincasino in 2021 and stated that I had a gambling addiction and that I would like to self-exclude permanently. When I contacted them in 2022 to see if the exclusion was permanent, I was told that I was permanently excluded. (See attached email copy)
I had a relapse in gambling two weeks ago and gambled away a considerable amount at Platincasino.
Is there any possibility of getting these money back since they have removed my block for unknown reasons?
Best regards

Hello Petronela!
I will try to answer your questions as best I can.
1. The account I used during the relapse was my original account that I had at the time of the ban in 2021.
2. I received message 2022 confirming that my account was permanently blocked, did you not see the pdf file I attached?
3 Since 2021, I have tried several times on the platincasino site to make settings that were denied due to the blocking, but when I tested at the beginning of August, to my surprise, it was possible to make deposits, and immediately my addiction was triggered.
4. I have written to the chat and asked why this could happen and pointed out that I am addicted to gambling and that I want my account permanently blocked once more for all time. They directed me to email support, which I did but received no response. I have emailed both the regular support and vip support without getting any response.
I am attaching some copies of my conversations with platinum casino.
Notice that they also sent me advertising after my self-exclusion.

Thank you very much, hagberg51, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Michal (michal.v@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance.

Hello hagberg51,
My name is Michal and I will be assisting you with your case. I hope that together we will come to a successful resolution of your issue.
I would like to request the presence of a representative from the casino in this conversation.
Dear Platincasino,
Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the failed self-exclusion and clarify the situation?
Thank you in advance.
Respectfully,
Michal
Hello,
since 04.10.23, Platincasino.com is operated by Latiform B.V. and a migration happened of all Accounts.
Since this migration the platform is running under a new license.
After the player contacted us and mentioned gamble addiction, the account is on suspend and as soon as his email with the closure request was processed, the account was permanently closed.
Unfortunately, we can't offer a refund as the service has already been fully used and there is no balance left on the account. Our company is licensed in Curaçao and meets all legal requirements for operating our service.
The player was informed about it via email as well.
The case is therefore closed from our end.
Thanks
Hello hagberg51,
We would like to update you that due to Michal, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Michal has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Michal will contact you at the earliest opportunity.
Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.
Best regards, Casino Guru
Dear hagberg51,
Just to confirm, do I understand correctly that you were able to log in to your account that was supposed to be permanently closed? Or did you create an entirely new account, but with the same information?
Hi Michael.
It is true that I was able to log in to the account that would have been blocked..
They claim that any email sent to me has not happened
So the games have gone through the same account that I blocked permanently in 2021
