Case summary

3 weeks ago

The player from Italy had requested self-exclusion from multiple casinos but was still allowed to register and gamble. He sought a refund, as he felt the casinos did not honor his self-exclusion request. The Complaints Team explained that it was not possible to self-exclude from all Curacao-licensed casinos at once and that each casino had to be contacted individually for self-exclusion. As a result, the complaint was rejected, with the player being advised to seek professional assistance for gambling issues.

Good evening,


Less than a month ago, I requested self-exclusion from 22bet, 20bet, and all sites with a Curacao license. Despite this, they allowed me to register. I am a gambling addict and undergoing treatment, and they did not honor the self-exclusion. I am requesting a refund as I should not have been able to play. Please help me; I am desperate and contemplating suicide.


Thank you

Dear filippo00000,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify the situation.

Have you requested to be self-excluded from Wazamba Casino directly? If you have, please forward me your account closure request at veronika.l@casino.guru.

There is currently no way to self-exclude from all Curacao-licensed casinos at once. You must self-exclude at each casino individually. Although Antillephone N.V. licensed casinos must offer players the opportunity to self-exclude, there does not appear to be a specific procedure in place so the only options are to check the casino's website or to contact the casino operator and ask them for instructions.

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

Best regards

Veronika

HI,


I asked 20bet and 22bet for self-exclusion from all Curacao-licensed sites as is the case with Adm and they confirmed that they had done so. I have the emails, if you want I can forward them to you. Then I also asked Wazamba but I managed to sign up on 2 other sites. Everyone is ignoring my request for self-exclusion. Please I'm in an open situation help me.


Thank you

I understand that you requested to be self-excluded from 20bet and 22bet. However, as I mentioned before, Wazamba is not related to these casinos in any way, and the players who wish to self-exclude from this casino have to send their self-exclusion request directly to Wazamba support. I have checked the Responsible Gaming section of this casino and I found the following:

Self-exclusion request: you can contact Support Service Team via e-mail: support@wazamba.com, and we will close your account within next 24 hours. It's the player's responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts the player might have and promise not to open any other accounts. Our Website will make reasonable efforts to try to prevent the opening of new accounts but it's the player's sole responsibility to make sure no other accounts are created. Our Website cannot be held accountable for potential losses on other accounts;

Did you send an account closure request to the aforementioned email address? If you did, please forward it to me at veronika.l@casino.guru. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

I asked later in chat and they self-excluded me. But I shouldn't have signed up because the previous providers had assured me of self-exclusion from all Curacao licensed providers. Please help me I need that money, otherwise I'll kill myself.

It is impossible to self-exclude from all the Curacao-licensed casinos at once. Curacao does not have a list of addicted players, so the players have to self-exclude from each casino individually.

I would like to help you, but in this case, our hands are tied.

I would like to call your attention to our Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative/assistance-tool This tool will make it easier for you to block your casino accounts across multiple gambling establishments simultaneously and is not affiliated with any specific casino. The Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool was designed to assist individuals who may be facing challenges with their gambling habits by helping them limit their access to gambling and reduce the potential for further harm.

Above all, if gambling no longer brings you joy and is becoming a burden, it is highly advisable to seek professional assistance. I strongly recommend reaching out to centers in your country that specialize in addressing gambling problems. You can find some of these centers by referring to the following link (https://casino.guru/problem-gambling-help-centers#cnt_87=true)

I am sorry but in this case, we are unable to assist you any further. This complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.

Best regards

Veronika
