Hi Radka,
I wanted to provide an update regarding my dispute with BuffBets.
BuffBets recently reopened communication with me and eventually offered me a settlement of €807.97. I rejected this offer because my disputed balance is €4,148.69, and BuffBets has still not provided sufficient evidence or a complete transaction-level explanation that, in my view, justifies the confiscation.
After it became clear that we could not reach an amicable settlement, I repeatedly asked BuffBets to provide the name, contact details and complaint procedure of their appointed ADR provider, so that I could have the dispute independently reviewed.
Despite asking for these details approximately five times, BuffBets has still not provided them. They were responding to my emails while discussing their €807.97 settlement offer, but since I rejected the offer and specifically requested access to ADR, I have not received the ADR information I requested.
I have therefore had to contact the Anjouan-approved ADR providers myself.
EGIS ADR has confirmed in writing that BuffBets does not have a contractual ADR agreement with them. iGamingADR has also confirmed in writing that it has not been appointed by BuffBets to handle their disputes.
This currently leaves CADRE and Axion ADR as the two remaining possibilities. I have contacted both. CADRE has not yet confirmed whether they have jurisdiction over BuffBets, and despite several emails and two submissions through Axion's official contact form, I have received no response from Axion.
I have now also submitted the matter to the Anjouan Gaming Authority's Compliance and Licensing departments, making clear that I am not asking the regulator to decide the financial dispute itself. I am simply asking them to identify which approved ADR provider is actually available to independently review my complaint.
At this point, the situation is quite simple: I want to escalate the dispute to independent ADR, but I still cannot establish which ADR provider is authorised to accept the case.
I will update the complaint again as soon as CADRE, Axion, Anjouan or BuffBets provides clarification.
Kind regards,
Gino
