Rolletto Casino - Player with Gambling Addiction Seeks Refund after Account Closure.

After a live chat with a support agent, my account was closed anfter asking for a rightful refund. Under my email address, post code, address etc. I was allowed to open an account, even when their sister betting site Mystake (both owned and operated by Santeda International) knew that I suffer from a gambling addiction and had blocked me from Mystake after self-exclusion. The casino also asked for a bank statement for verification which would also show the amount I was depositing was disproportionate to the amount on the bank statement.

Furthermore, as a citizen of the United Kingdom, I have only found out that Rolletto as well as other Santeda International B.V. Casinos (Goldenbet, MyStake etc.) does not have a UKGC Licence. Therefore, are breaking UK law by accepting my custom.

Following all of this, Rolletto allowed me to cancel my ‘processing’ withdrawals after I submitted them. This contributed to be able to cancel the withdrawals and then use the cancelled withdrawals to wager on bets and casino games. If the casino did not have the option to cancel a submitted withdrawal then this money would have not been wagered excessively. As a gambling site, once a withdrawal is requested, a player should not be able to cancel the withdrawal to blow it all away. I believe this is negligence on Rolletto’s end as the money would’ve entered my bank and not wagered in the excess of the whole amount or not even wagered at all. I believe this takes advantage of anyone with a gambling addiction as it doesn’t give vulnerable players a break from gambling as the withdrawal is pending.

As well as this, I am seeking a refund as I have been registered on GamCare/GamStop at the time of depositing and wagering on their site. Although, from what I understand, Rolletto is not registered on GamCare - MyStake are well aware through live chats I’ve had with their agents (the same as those on Rolletto) that I’ve had GamStop ban for a long time.

I believe Rolletto Casino took advantage when accepting me as a player and I strongly believe this and the other factors I have listed are concrete causes for a refund. 

Dear C1bj,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem with Rolletto Casino.

Unfortunately, there isn’t written that all your accounts in other casinos of the same owner will be blocked or self-excluded automatically. Please understand that if you self-exclude yourself from one casino it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are protected on all the other associated websites. Could you please advise if you have requested a self-exclusion from Rolletto Casino directly?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Nick

I understand this by the two casinos are operated and owned by the same company. They both have the exact same live chat operator and agents too.

Dear C1bj,

No, they do not. You have to request self-exclusion directly in Rolletto in case you want to close your account there and unless you did, the player is not entitled for any deposits made.

Please do so any let us know the outcome.
