Hello. I registered with starda last week Saturday, deposited 300 or 200 euros and played, Monday I suddenly received a message that my account was blocked, the reasons for this are that I blocked myself from a partner casino because of gambling addiction, because I didn't feel like the discussion if you want to close the account..


Anyway, I don't think it's okay that my deposits are accepted and 2 days later my account is simply blocked.

Dear kevinjd92,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Starda Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

Could you please explain if you requested a self-exclusion in any associated casino due to gambling addiction in the past to your knowledge?

Could you please forward your communication with the casino to my email at tomas@casino.guru?

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,

Tomas

Thanks for your email.


Did you use the same email address, and other personal details for registration in the casino where your account is self-excluded and this casino? How were you informed by the casino that closed your account due to self-exclusion in the past regarding the blocking of access to associated websites?

Was there any balance left on your account before your Starda casino account was blocked? Did you mention any gambling problems to Starda Casino support?

I'll await your reply.

Hello. I used the same data as always.


The remaining credit was no longer in my account.


but I deposited 300 euros over the weekend and played with it, and on Monday I wanted to play again but was suddenly banned.


I did not report any gambling problems to starda support.


I first contacted support when my account was already blocked.

Thanks for the reply.

Please understand the Curacao licensed casinos are not required to self-exclude accounts in associated brands, but we consider it as positive when they do so.

If the casino found out about your gambling issues, we would consider it fair they prevent you from depositing in the future and return the remainder of your balance to you.


Could you please advise if there was any balance remaining on your account in Starda Casino prior to your account being blocked?

I'll await your reply.

Hello.


I also think it's great that a casino stops you from depositing as soon as you've blocked yourself at another casino because of search problems, but not only 3 days after you've registered and deposited, if then it has to be recognized immediately, and not days later.


There was no balance left on my account.

I completely understand your frustration.


Unfortunately, we cannot ask the casino to return your funds as the self-exclusion across multiple brands isn't mandatory in casinos licensed in Curacao, nor was it at the time you opened the account in this casino and made a deposit.

If the partner casino where you self-excluded previously didn't promise you they will prevent you from opening a new account in partnered casinos, we will consider the actions of the casino as justified.

Please let me know if this was promised to you or if there is any information I overlooked, otherwise, I'll be forced to close the complaint.

Unfortunately, the player has not responded to our messages and questions. Consequently, we are unable to investigate further and have no choice but to reject this complaint.

The player can reopen this complaint at any time.
