Cazino Stars Casino - Акаунтът на играча остава отворен въпреки исканията за закриване.

Ive asked a bunch of times for my account to be closed and it is still open. I keep putting money in it even after I've told them I have a gambling problem. They still keep it open. I'm hoping you can help I've lost thousands cause of it.

Hello

Thank you for getting back to me. I've sent the email off.

Hello Kristina

I was even able to play again today.

I really appreciate the help. Wish I could get some of the money's back. It was super stupid on my part to do all of this.

Hello everyone,

Thank you both for your replies.

Pater77, I see that you informed the casino about your gambling problem on May 3. Could you please clarify the dispute value (Can$12,000)? Did you deposit this amount after you requested the self-exclusion?

Dear Pater77,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.

Yes that is correct. After I asked for it to be closed I was able to still gamble and loss the amount.

Sorry for the delay response

Mike

Hello Pater77,

We would like to update you that due to Kristina, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Kristina has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Kristina will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Did you receive this email? Did the player send this email to the correct email address?

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding the email from the player dated May 3rd. We appreciate your diligence in providing additional context.

Upon thorough review of our email records, we regret to inform you that we were unable to locate the specific email in question.

Thank you

Mike

Thank you for reaching out to us regarding your recent requests.

Upon reviewing our records, we found that our chat representative did indeed inform you to send the account closure request via email. It is our standard procedure to process such requests through email communication. However, we understand that there may have been gaps in email reception, leading to the issue.

Regarding the bonus offer, we sincerely apologize for any confusion caused by the automated message. We acknowledge that there was a system bug, which has since been fixed. We prioritize responsible gaming and take this matter seriously.

If you have any further concerns or need additional assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to support you.

Dear Cazino Stars Casino,

Would you consider refunding the player in this case in light of the recent email from the 3rd of May and your admitted gaps in the email reception?

Dear Pater77 and Casino.Guru,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the player's complaint. After reviewing the interactions and terms related to the player's account at Cazino Stars, I would like to clarify our position.

The player continued to engage in gameplay and utilized the bonus provided, which indicates acceptance of our terms and conditions. As per our policy, outlined clearly on our website, once a player has accepted a bonus and continued to play, they are not eligible for a refund. This policy is standard across the industry to ensure fairness and transparency for all players.

Our bonus terms and conditions, which the player agreed to upon receiving the bonus, state that by accepting and using the bonus, the player acknowledges and agrees to the wagering requirements and other conditions tied to the bonus. If the player had concerns or objections to these terms, the appropriate action would have been to refrain from playing and to contact our support team immediately. By continuing to play, the player implicitly agreed to the terms.

Given these points, we believe that our decision to deny the refund is justified and in line with our commitment to fair play and transparency. We value our relationship with Casino Guru and its players and are always open to constructive dialogue to resolve any issues amicably.

If there are any further questions or if additional information is required, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Best regards.

Dear Pater77, since the casino is not willing to change its stance, I am forced to mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach.

In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Gaming Curacao Authority (compliance@gaming-curacao.com) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players.

Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (michal.v@casino.guru).

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Michal V
