Insufficient evidence from player

REJECTED

Case summary

6 months ago

The player from Austria attempted multiple times over a year ago to withdraw a large win but faced repeated issues with ID and credit card verification from the casino. This led to a delay of over three weeks, resulting in the player gambling away all the winnings due to addiction. We could not assist further as the player had not provided a self-exclusion request before losing the winnings. The player was advised on how to properly request self-exclusion in the future and directed to resources for gambling addiction assistance.

About a year ago, I tried several times to withdraw a large win. Unfortunately, various statements from the casino prevented me from receiving it. For over three weeks, the casino repeatedly found issues with my ID or credit card until I had gambled away all the money due to my addiction.

Dear NEROXX,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Sadly, since you have played/lost your winnings, I’m afraid, there is not much we can do for you. The player is the only one responsible for their account, active balance, and all the bets taking place. I understand that this would have never happened if you could withdraw on the first attempt but at this point, we cannot ask the casino to refund your lost winnings.

  • Could you please advise if you've already informed the casino about your gambling problem so they can prevent you from playing?

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

According to the casino, one problem was that if I allowed myself to be speared, the verification process would stop and I would then not be able to withdraw my money.


So my account had to remain active

Did you inform the casino about your gambling problem before you spend your winnings? Could you please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru? Alternatively, you can post it here. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, I have no way of getting to these messages because they happened via the support chat and my account is blocked and will not be unlocked.


I only have 2 emails in which I am repeatedly told why the identity verification failed this time.


All in all, I uploaded all documents in various formats and with pointlessly blacked out areas over 30 times without them ever being accepted.


After winning around 30,000 euros, the whole thing started at around 10,000 euros. I asked several times for my payout to finally be processed because I couldn't control myself until I had lost every last bit of the money I had won.


The casino should still have these courses!

NEROXX, I'm sorry, but we won't be able to help you in this matter. The self-exclusion request is the essential evidence that the player must provide in order for us to proceed with a case like this. Since your account has been closed, I can only recommend how to request self-exclusion properly in the future.

When applying for the self-exclusion, state the reason why you want your account to be deactivated clearly and specify the time period. Also, email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable as casino support receives many requests per day hence, if it’s visibly marked you stand a better chance to have your request granted as soon as possible. I would also strongly recommend that you always save your self-exclusion request so that you have a valid proof of such action.


Example:


Email subject: Self-exclusion


Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

DOB:

Casino login:

Email address:



"Greetings xxx xxx,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (lifetime).

The reason that preceded my decision is xxx (gambling addiction)

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."


Also, I would like to call your attention to our Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative/assistance-tool This tool will make it easier for you to block your casino accounts across multiple gambling establishments simultaneously and is not affiliated with any specific casino. The Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool was designed to assist individuals who may be facing challenges with their gambling habits by helping them limit their access to gambling and reduce the potential for further harm.

Above all, if gambling no longer brings you joy and is becoming a burden, it is highly advisable to seek professional assistance. I strongly recommend reaching out to centers in your country that specialize in addressing gambling problems. You can find some of these centers by referring to the following link (https://casino.guru/problem-gambling-help-centers#cnt_87=true)


This complaint will now be closed. If you disagree with our decision, you can try contacting the licensing authority.

Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
