Insufficient evidence from player

REJECTED

Case summary

5 months ago

The player from Germany had informed Sol Casino about their gambling problem and suicidal thoughts, expecting the casino to block them from further play. Instead, the casino held the player responsible for their own depositing and gaming. The player questioned if the casino should have blocked them and if they were eligible for a refund. We requested evidence of the player's self-exclusion request but received none. Due to the lack of supporting evidence, the complaint was rejected.

Hello,


I have a question. A few weeks ago, I informed Sol Casino's support chat that I have a gambling problem and due to my loss of money, I was intending to end my life, so that the casino would block me and I would have no chance to deposit more money. However, this didn't happen and I was only told that I had decided to deposit and play, implying that it was my own fault! My question is, should the casino have blocked me and am I entitled to a refund of the subsequent deposits?

Dear Richi.54,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Before we contact the casino and ask for their standpoint, could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you have sent a request for a self-exclusion? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru.

Did you specify in that request for how long you wish your account to be suspended and the reason why?

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

Best regards,

Petronela

Hello petronela


Yesterday I asked the casino to send me the chat history because I had done that in the live chat with support. I was told that they no longer had access to this chat because it had been closed, which I can't really imagine. I had previously had a self-exclusion for a month but after that the account was usable as normal again.

I have now asked again in the VIP support chat what it would be like if someone said, as in my case, that they don't want to play anymore and have suicidal thoughts because of their gambling addiction.


The answer was that they would help to block my account, which was definitely not the case with me. They just told me that they could not refund any payments and that it was my fault whether I paid in or not.

Hi Richi.54,

Please remember that when requesting self-exclusion, it's important to follow a few simple steps to ensure a successful outcome:

  • Send your request to the correct email address provided in the general terms and conditions of the casino.
  • If your email goes unanswered, utilize other communication channels to address your concerns or send multiple emails.
  • Clearly state the reasons why you wish to have your account self-excluded. Requesting bonuses should never be a means to close your account.

Please understand that without any supporting evidence it would be very difficult to confront the casino. Please let me know if there is any additional information that I have overlooked, but I’m afraid I will be forced to reject your complaint. I wish I could be of more help.

Thank you in advance for your reply and understanding.
