The player from Greece requested account closure due to a gambling problem, but despite multiple emails to the casino, the account remains open. Additionally, he seeks moral compensation for his deposits due to the ongoing issue.
I opened an account, deposited, and lost some money. I spoke with the chat support and requested them to close my account. After a lot of discussion, they told me to send an email. I sent several emails and they still haven't closed my account despite informing them that I have a gambling problem. Yet, my account remains open. I want my deposits back as moral compensation for the trouble of having my account still open!
Dear georgeflas,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:
Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact—the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligations to the player.
On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with a gambling problem).
Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is veronika.f@casino.guru.
Have you made any deposits to the casino after you requested your account to be closed?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards,
Veronika
