The player from Germany requested a self-exclusion about a year ago, but she managed to make deposits. We ended up rejecting the complaint due to lack of evidence from the player.
Hello, I closed my account in September 2019 due to gambling addiction. Nevertheless, I was able to deposit € 865 on October 7th, 2020 and October 8th, 2020.
On October 8th, 2020, around 3:00 am, I asked again for closure, as well as for a refund for gambling addiction, as these deposits should never have taken place.
The account was not closed again! Not until noon afterwards when I pointed it out again in the chat and asked for a refund.
Dear Claudia,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. I checked the T&Cs (https://v-vegas.fun/en/terms-and-conditions), and this is what I found:
„31.2. Should you need to take a break from gambling, you may self-exclude yourself by contacting Support at support@vulkanvegas.com. Self-exclusion means that your account will remain closed. In order to re-activate your account, please contact Support again."
Please could you clarify if you have sent the email to this specific email address? From your screenshot it is not clear to see. Could you provide another one with the email address of the casino visible, or forward the email to me?
Also, please forward any other relevant communication between you and the casino, together with the deposit receipts to kristina.s@casino.guru.
Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Kristina
Hello Kristina,
Thank you very much for helping me with this matter.
Unfortunately I only have this screenshot of the email.
Unfortunately I have not received any chat history.
I will send you my deposits.
Thank you very much
Greetings Claudia
Thank you very much Claudia for your reply. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter who will be at your assistance. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction soon.
Hi Claudia,
I'm taking over your complaint. Could you please look for the the email you sent to the casino in your email box and forward it to me? Has the casino confirmed that the self-exclusion was successful? In the meantime, I will contact the casino and see what can be done.
Dear Claudia, Peter
I have checked the Player Limitations records - looks like you've never set any of the limits within your profile.
Next - at VulkanVegas we close the account immediately whenever the player claims one has a gambling problem. The only mention about the problematic gambling was on 08.10.2020 09:57:53 (UTC), as a result your account has been blocked within seconds.
With all due respect, Claudia, if you manage to find an outgoing e-mail where you clearly state that you have a gambling issue - we will be more than happy to do the refund + compensate for the misunderstanding.
Kind regards,
Alexander
Hello, unfortunately I only have this screenshot of the email that I put in the Vulkan Vegas folder.
that accounts with you will be closed immediately if one speaks of gambling addiction is not true. On October 8th, 2020 around 3:00 a.m. in the live chat Leon I wrote about my gambling addiction, account was not closed again!
Only the next morning after I pointed this out to Viktoria again, about 8 hours later the account was finally closed.
Dear Claudia,
I discussed the issue within the team. The screenshot you provided shows your email address and that you ask for a self-exclusion due to a gambling problem. The message seems to be in some sort of a folder named "angst". The problem is, it doesn't show who the email recipient is or that it was actually sent. You also have no confirmation from the casino that they received your message so basically there is no way to confirm that this email ever existed. I'm afraid, there is not much I can do to help you. I can't penalize the casino based on the screenshot provided. I wish I could be of more help.
Best regards,
Peter
