The player from Germany was struggling with a gambling addiction. Despite multiple attempts to request self-exclusion and a refund of losses after the initial request, the casino had failed to take action. The player's account remained active. After reviewing the case, we found that the casino had completed the self-exclusion procedure within a reasonable time frame. Since there were no deposits made by the player from the time he asked for self-exclusion, no refund was due. Therefore, the complaint had been rejected.

Good Day,
On the 9th of March, 2024, I opened an account with WikiLuck Casino and deposited €50. Initially, I won some money and wanted to withdraw €380. However, I suffer from a gambling addiction, and regrettably, I lost all the money and had to make another deposit of €50. After I lost this too, I wrote an email to the casino on the 10th of March, 2024, requesting self-exclusion, as I am suffering from gambling addiction. However, nothing was effectuated, and over the next few days until the 12th of March, 2024, I lost an additional €400.
In the evening of the 12th of March, 2024, I asked the casino in an online chat to implement the self-exclusion. The representative instructed me to send an email to customercare@wikiluck.com. So, I did this on the 13th of March, 2024, requesting self-exclusion and a refund of my losses after my initial email on the 10th of March, 2024.
Since then, nothing has been done, my account remains active, and I am still able to log in.
I am extremely disappointed with the casino's lack of action and I am struggling mightily with the urge to attempt to recoup my losses. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate your assistance regarding this matter. Attached, you will find both emails and the transaction list.
Thank you very much and kind regards,

Hello Aschebersch,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with WikiLuck Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly? Can't you at least set a deposit limit within your casino account until the casino responds to you? Did they at least respond to your first e-mail since then?
Every online casino should process self-exclusion within 48 hours so let's hope we can figure it out with them.
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick

Hello Nick and thank you for your answer.
Yes, it was verified on the first evening after registration, it was on the night of March 9th, 2024 to March 10th, 2024. At least before I wrote the first email.
Unfortunately I can't set a deposit limit anywhere, I've searched everywhere on the website. No, I still haven't received a response to either the first or the second email.
Thank you for your support and best wishes

Dear Aschebersch,
After going through all the information available to me, I have to inform you that the casino is in the right in this case. They had completed the self-exclusion procedure in a relatively reasonable time frame, and since there were no deposits from when you asked the casino for self-exclusion due to gambling problems, there is no refund to be made.
Due to the aforementioned reasons, 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.
