Hello Nick,
thank you for your feedback. I would be happy to answer your questions, in order:
1.) Can you please advise how long after your request you lost your money?
On 06/21/2022 at 09:51 am I emailed support to verify my details and that I would like my account blocked because I have a gambling addiction and I want to protect the money. Westcasino then requested further documentation but did not suspend my account. On June 21st, 2022 I had 4600 EUR in the casino account. My account would not be blocked within 24 hours (should have been blocked by 09:50 a.m. on 22.06.2022 at the latest. My verification was delayed, with the same documents that you requested, but no exclusion. Then unfortunately I feared the delay and didn't answer my request, I couldn't save my money and ultimately continued playing and then went down to zero EUR on the evening of June 22, 2022.
2.) Is your account currently still active?
No my account was closed yesterday after requesting my money back.
3.) Have you contacted the casino for a refund and if so what was their reply? What is your current balance?
Yes I wrote, that was their last answer: once you place a bet in the casino, it is final, you receive the result of that bet in the account - whether you win or lose, and it is not possible to get a refund , once you have used the money to place bets.
The whole thing is really not fair, because I suspected that something like this would happen and immediately when I wanted to pay out my money I asked for a block due to the gambling addiction and that you should pay me the money despite that, even if I'm no longer active. Normally I would never lose 4600 EUR within 1 1/2 days. But I knew about my addiction and I immediately stated my wish and request. Westcasino writes in their terms and conditions that an account will be blocked within 24 hours at the latest if requested. But in this case it wasn't.
Best regards

Hallo Nick,
danke für Ihre Rückmeldung. Gerne beantworte ich Ihnen die Fragen, nach der Reihe nach:
1.) Können Sie bitte angeben, wie lange nach Ihrer Anfrage Sie Ihr Geld verloren haben?
Am 21.06.2022 um 09:51 Uhr schrieb ich per E-Mail den Support an für die Verifizierung meiner Daten und das ich mein Konto gesperrt bekommen möchte, da ich Spielsucht habe und ich das Geld beschützen möchte. Westcasino hat daraufhin weitere Unterlagen angefordert, aber meinen Konto nicht gesperrt. Am 21.06.2022 hatte ich zuletzt 4600 EUR auf dem Casino Konto. Mein Konto würde nicht binnen 24 Stunden gesperrt (Hätte spätestens bis 22.06.2022 um 09:50 Uhr gesperrt sein sollen. Man hat meine Verifizierung verzögert, mit jeweils gleichen Dokumenten die Sie angefordert haben aber keinerlei Ausschluss. Dann kam leider meine Befürchtung durch das verzögern und nicht Beantwortung meiner Anfrage, konnte ich mein Geld nicht retten und habe letztendlich weitergespielt und bin dann auf Null EUR runter am 22.06.2022 Abends.
2.) Ist Ihr Konto derzeit noch aktiv?
Nein mein Konto wurde gestern geschlossen, nachdem ich mein Geld zurückgefordert habe.
3.) Haben Sie das Casino wegen einer Rückerstattung kontaktiert und wenn ja, was haben sie geantwortet? Wie hoch ist Ihr Guthaben aktuell?
Ja habe ich geschrieben, das war deren letzte Antwort: Sobald Sie eine Wette im Casino platziert haben, ist diese endgültig, Sie erhalten das Ergebnis dieser Wette auf dem Konto - ob Sie gewinnen oder verlieren, und es ist nicht möglich, eine Rückerstattung zu erhalten, sobald Sie das Geld zum Platzieren von Wetten verwendet haben.
Das ganze ist wirklich nicht fair, denn ich habe geahnt das sowas passiert und habe sofort als ich mein Geld auszahlen wollte um eine Sperrung gebeten aufgrund des Spielsuchts und das Sie mir das Geld trotz dessen auszahlen sollen, auch wenn ich nicht mehr aktiv bin. Im Normalfall würde ich nie 4600 EUR innerhalb 1 1/2 Tage verspielen. Ich wusste aber von meiner Sucht und ich habe direkt meinen Wunsch und meine Bitte angegeben. Westcasino schreibt in deren AGBs das ein Konto spätestens in 24 Stunden gesperrt wird, wenn angefragt wird. Wurde aber in diesem Fall nicht.
Beste Grüße
E. Y.
