Case summary

The player from Germany had attempted to close his casino account a month ago, but the closure had been unsuccessful. Recently, he had deposited €1000, which he lost, and was requesting assistance for a possible refund of his losses. The Complaints Team had extended the response time by 7 days for the player to provide evidence of his claims regarding gambling addiction and account closure. However, due to the player's lack of response, the complaint was unable to be investigated further and was rejected.

Hello,

A month ago, I requested the closure of my account, but unfortunately, it was not successful. Yesterday, I relapsed and deposited -1000, which I lost. I am asking for your assistance, possibly for a refund of yesterday's losses.

Kind regards,

Dear Andre007007, 

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 obligation 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). 

Could you please specify the reason for closing your account? Have you sent just one email with the request to close your account, and this email was attached to this complaint? In the screenshot of the email you sent us, there was no mention of gambling addiction as the reason for the closure of your account. Please note that we are able to mediate only these cases of lost deposits, when the player explicitly asks to block his account due to a gambling problem, and the casino ignores this request.

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

Best regards, 

Veronika

I have mentioned gambling addiction several times in live chat. Can you request all the messages between me and the Silverplay casino? I deposited money diligently until yesterday and today the account was closed. I also specifically asked for the account to be closed immediately and they still let me deposit money up until yesterday. Today I received the message that the account was closed. Do I still have a chance of getting a refund? At least the deposits from the last 2 days?

In order to proceed with your complaint, I need you to provide the chat transcripts or screenshots of your live chats showing that you informed the casino of your gambling addiction and requested your account to be closed.

Please understand that our complaint resolution process follows certain steps that need to be fulfilled. Before we can contact the casino regarding your concern, we need to collect as much evidence from you as possible. Without proof that you informed the casino of your gambling addiction and they ignored your request, we regret to inform you that we won’t be able to assist you with retrieving refunds of any deposits you might have lost.

Please let me know if you can provide such evidence so that we can decide on the next steps in resolving your complaint.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Is the casino obliged to provide me with the complete chat history upon request or can they refuse? I have mentioned my gambling addiction several times, unfortunately in the live chat, and I have not taken any screenshots.

Unfortunately, we cannot confirm whether the casino stores all live chat conversations or for how long, as this depends on their internal policies. While some casinos may provide chat transcripts upon request, others might not retain this information.

Without documented evidence that you explicitly mentioned your gambling addiction and requested account closure for this reason, we regret to inform you that we won’t be able to proceed with your complaint. If you are able to obtain any records from the casino confirming this, please share them with us so we can reassess your case.

Thank you for your understanding.
