REJECTED

Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Germany had an issue with a casino. He had initially requested self-exclusion, but the casino seemingly ignored his request and continued to accept his deposits totaling 4577 Euros. The player was then seeking a refund. The complaints team had asked for the original self-exclusion request, which the player claimed to no longer have. Despite guidance from the complaints team on how to properly request self-exclusion, the player insisted on pursuing legal action. Due to the player's lack of cooperation and failure to provide necessary information, the complaint was ultimately rejected.

Hello dear Casino Guru Team,

I hope you can help me in this case.

Firstly, I want to let you know that I have already tried to resolve this issue directly with the casino, but they have been acting rather strangely. I asked about being banned about 3-4 months ago, but I didn’t receive any reply, unless it was regarding bonuses or anything that they could profit from. Today, I inquired once more and got confirmation that I had indeed asked to be banned. The casino, at first, did not want to disclose how much I had deposited. They stated they could not reveal this information and could only show 20 transactions. I believe everyone has the right to see when and how much they deposited. Nonetheless, they stated the amount from the last two months, 4577 euros. I am quite sure that there was more money, around 400 euros, but I can't see it. At most, I can check my bank account to see if any more money was withdrawn. I am demanding a refund, as this should not have happened. I am aware that this casino does not support OASIS, which I am already registered with. However, they should have taken my request to be banned into account. Many thanks for your help

Dear keejan,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I checked the Responsible Gambling section and I found this:

"Self-exclusion

If you believe that playing at the online casino has stopped being a form of entertainment and adversely affects your life, contact the support service and request a temporary or permanent restriction of your account."


Could you please forward me the account closure request? My email address is kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. 

Furthermore, do I understand correctly that you currently have access to your casino account?

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

Best regards,

Kristina

The casino refuses to give me any information. They just don't want to tell me my deposit amount.

I don't exactly have the self-exclusion request anymore, but that's clear proof. I asked there if she still knew when I wanted to be blocked a few months ago. Exactly at the time when others blocked me too. And she says yes she can see these chats. Means despite my clear request to ban me, they let me deposit large sums of money. Thanks

keejan, I am afraid that if you do not have the original self-exclusion request, we are not able to help you and ask the casino for a refund.

If you still have access and want to close your account, I suggest that you send a proper self-exclusion request. When applying for the self-exclusion, state clearly the reason why you want your account to be deactivated and specify the time period. Also, email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable as casino support receives many requests per day hence, if it’s visibly marked you stand a better chance to have your request granted as soon as possible. I would also strongly recommend that you always save your self-exclusion request so that you have a valid proof of such action.

 

Example:

 

Email subject: Self-exclusion

 

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

DOB:

Casino login:

Email address:

 

 

"Greetings xxx xxx,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (lifetime).

The reason that preceded my decision is xxx (gambling problem)

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."

 

Please send another email to Sol Casino and keep me informed about any further developments. Thank you in advance.

I was aware, but there are so many things against the casino.

  • Deposits of more than €4500 in 2 months
  • Self-exclusion confirmed but not enforced
  • not agree to submit my transactions
  • illegal license for German players

I will initiate the whole thing legally, I'm pretty sure I'm entitled to a refund here. If a player wants to get banned, they shouldn't have to tell a poem, just get banned straight away like other casinos have done, or ifs and buts.

thank you very much anyway
