Insufficient evidence from player

REJECTED

Case summary

4 months ago

The player from Malta reported significant losses of over $44,000 after being allowed to create multiple accounts, despite having previously self-excluded due to gambling addiction. The player highlighted that Shuffle failed to enforce responsible gambling measures, allowing him to deposit and lose substantial amounts of money. He requested a refund for his losses while expressing a willingness to sign documents waiving future claims if the issue was addressed. The complaint was rejected due to the absence of evidence proving the player's self-exclusion request, which was necessary for further investigation.

I suffer from gambling addiction and I've already reported it to the platform on my numerous accounts I've created there.


In less than 24 hours, over multiple deposits, I lost on that account more than $US 44,000.


Shuffle knows that the accounts created belong to me, since the casino asks for a first and last name, as well as a birthdate.

But even though I provided the exact details of a former account banned for addiction, they let me register, deposit, make a few withdrawals while the first withdrawals are analyzed and lose more than $40,000.


Before trying to deposit on Shuffle, I tried to set up a new account on Stake, Roobet and Rollbit, but unlike Shuffle, they respect responsible gambling and didn't let me deposit on their platform.


In any case, the account created was clearly linked in every way to a previous account explicitly self-excluded for gambling addiction reasons with the personal details, the IP addresses, crypto wallets and perhaps some other details.


Shuffle doesn't respect responsible gambling at all, since it is clearly possible to recreate an account with the exact data of a player banned for addiction.


Another concrete example is when Shuffle refused to ban one of my old account for an addiction, without bypassing a 24h cool off period.

This happened in early January 2024, I even reported it to Noah D., co-founder of Shuffle.com, on January 5, 2024, explaining the serious breach in their system.

I asked to the support to close the account for addiction, they didn't want to proceed the closure without the 24h period.

I then said I was a US based and underage player and that I even played with my parents' money.

This didn't change anything, as it was still possible for me to deposit and play on the account.


Noah replied very quickly to my email confirming that he was looking at this, but nothing has changed for their responsible gambling since this is the last of their priorities.


Shuffle doesn't take seriously the harm that gambling can cause : letting a player with serious gambling addictions lose +$US 40,000 in less than 24 hours without even getting in touch with him, letting him lose this amount when he has entered the contact details linked to several other accounts banned for addiction, used the same IP as the other accounts and the same crypto addresses.


Even though I suffer from gambling addiction, it's still normal for me to take responsibility, which is why I don't ask for losses from other accounts.

I can also accept to sign some documents as Stake did on some complaints that I renounce any future complaints if they settle this complaint. 


I request the refund of all the money lost on the account for a total of : $US 44,092


Thanks in advance to the Casino Guru team, and I hope this complaint will make Shuffle realize that they must understand and help players who suffer from addiction, just like other competitors who take and respect the rules concerning this subject.

Thank you for your email. However, I still need the email you sent to the casino when you requested to be self-excluded for the first time. To be able to continue with the investigation of your case, we need evidence that you informed the casino about your gambling addiction and asked your account to be closed.

it was done through the live chat and not by mail, and as I can’t log in on the account as they are self-excluded, I can’t provide this.
