Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Switzerland has requested a self-exclusion. Unfortunately, he was later forced to re-enter his casino account to withdraw winnings. Instead of withdrawing the remaining funds, all of them were played and lost. After a closer examination, we ended up rejecting this complaint as unjustified.

Good morning


the casino wrote in its review on your site that gambling addicts can also be paid out without an open account. Unfortunately, the casino did not confirm this to me via email at the time, but wrote to me that the account must be open.

the casino forced a gambling addict to reopen the account and I lost my winnings. I await the refund of deposits!

Dear Basel999,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I'm not sure if I understood the issue completely. Could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you have sent a request for the self-exclusion? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru. Did you specify in that request for how long you wish your account to be suspended and the reason why?

Do I understand correctly that later you were asked to re-enter your blocked account and you lost all your active balance?

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

Best regards,

Petronela

Thank you, Basel999, for your email. Could you please forward supporting evidence that your account was blocked initially due to a gambling problem?

No unfortunately not anymore, it was in the chat. However, I had sent them proof that I had asked the casino to keep the account closed and withdraw the money. The account was closed because I had closed it.

after I was told that a payout is impossible (I have one

found further emails that they expressly confirmed that this was not possible) I asked to open the account again.

based on my review on casino guru, the casino then claimed the opposite!

Good morning

this is not a problem

the players are used to the blame always being placed on the player:


I am happy to explain the following and to send casino guru the supporting documents:


22.05 Email request if you can pay out the winnings to my Eco Payz account.


22.05 Deposit method was not offered as a withdrawal method.

Please email me again to ban from playing and withdraw the funds!!!


22.05 reminder to process my request.


22.05 Email from them confirming that withdrawals can only be processed if the account is open!


I then reopened the account.


Then the payment method Eco payz was also rejected!!!

so their casino only offered skrill which I don't have!!!


And you really claim that it's my fault and that you acted ethically?

for sure!!!

I'm glad other players can read the truth here.

I asked them to block my account - ignored

Payout method not offered - ignored

Account must be open - request to close the account - ignored.


Great Casino!!!

Thank you very much, Pledoo Casino team, for forwarding the entire communication.


Dear Basel999,

I went through all the transcripts of your communication with this casino but didn't find any mention of a gambling problem. A few times you suggested that you wish to have your account blocked permanently, but it was always after there wasn't any bonus available for you.

Please understand that without informing the casino that you have a gambling problem we stand no chance of mediating this issue. Closing and opening accounts shouldn't be used as negotiating tool in receiving promotional offers from casinos. Your account was blocked for a period of seven days and you were informed that if you wish to have your account blocked permanently you need to send an email to Customer Support. Even after this, you requested an immediate reopening of the account claiming that you changed your mind.

Please let me know if there is any additional information that I have overlooked, but I’m afraid I will be forced to reject your complaint as unjustified. I wish I could be of more help. Thank you in advance for your reply and understanding.

Player's additional comments:


"Good day,

As already mentioned, I asked the Caisno to block my account.

I blocked the account myself and then made a request to keep my account closed and withdraw the funds.

It was said that this is not possible - a lie - it would be possible with the right request.

It was confirmed to me that my account needs to remain open - for this reason I had the account reopened - I DID NOT WANT TO OPEN IT.

 

That's the problem, if the casino really backed me it wouldn't have happened.

 

Please see the attachments, I had to deposit money to unlock Eco Payz- that's why I also had to open the account- then ECO Payz didn't even work and the withdrawal was refused- they wanted me to withdraw via SKRILL, even though I did not have.

 

You see, the casino did not support me in any way.

Even where I deposited Eco Payz and requested the withdrawal, it was rejected.

 

I await the refund of deposits.

Thanks"

Dear Basel999,

Thank you for your email. You stated that you didn't ask to have your account reopened. Unfortunately, we received a transcript of your live chat communication and I can confirm that the reopening was requested, indeed. Specifically, on the 4th of June. Also, in the entire communication, you didn't mention gambling problem not once. Opening and closing accounts are non-binding on operators if a player doesn't state any specific reason for it. The only reason you gave was "I am Not happy with this casino."

I really wish I could be of more help. Sadly, my only recommendation for future references would be to be more specific when requesting the self-exclusion. State clearly the reason why you wish to have your account blocked and the time period that should be applied.

Please let me know if there's anything else we could try to help you with.
