Dear Deanh7635,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I checked the Responsible Gambling section and I found this:

Self-prohibition

If you feel the need to take break with gambling, we are always ready to provide you with the possibility of voluntary blocking. Enabling self-blocking means that your account will be blocked for a certain or indefinite period, and you will not be able to use it until the blocking expiration date. To enable voluntary blocking, write us through the website's support chat.

For re-activation, the player must submit a written request to restore the account. Write us through the website's chat that you want to cancel the voluntary blocking of the gaming account and your profile will be unblocked as soon as possible.

Could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you sent a request for a self-exclusion in the past? My email address is kristina.s@casino.guru.

Did you specify in that request for how long you wish your account to be suspended and the reason why?

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

Best regards,

Kristina

Ok I have forwarded this to you

Thank you for your reply, Deanh7635. Do I understand correctly that despite you informing the casino about your gambling problem in 2020, your account was never closed? Did you contact the casino regarding this issue later again? Is there any recent communication between you and the casino?

Please forward all the relevant communication between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. Thank you in advance.

Dear Deanh7635,

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.

Hi yes this is correct I begged them to close my account for days and was nothing but trouble so I stopped using the casino but after some time I got back on and played but unfortunately I have nothing but trouble 100s of issues with withdrawals been delayed cancelled and having to wait weeks for the issue to be resolved and most of the time I would just wager the money I want to withdraw I think this is a tactic they use you would not believe the amount of time I have contact them about issues

I also requested my chat history which they say they have no access to and I asked for my transaction history to with they can’t provide

Have you discussed this issue with the casino recently? I believe I only see old messages from 2020 in the attachments of your emails.

No not about the self exclusion after I tried to get this casino account closed for so long I eventually just stopped contacting them and stopped accessing the site then after about a year I ended back on the site and being a gambling addict I was willing to play but after a few wins the problems started again I had issues with every single withdrawal some taking over 5 weeks even though my account was fully verified they would make different excuses each time I have 100s of live chat transcripts about the withdrawal issues on multiple occasions I have also maid multiple complaints on ask gamblers about this casino it’s beyond a joke then they restricted my country from there play list while I had 1000e in my account I couldn’t even access there site when I finally accessed the site had to use a vpn I managed to withdraw 100 and then issue same issue happened so i wagered the remaining balance and never tried to access the site since

Thank you very much, Deanh7635, for your cooperation. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Jozef (jozef.k@casino.guru) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.  

Dear Deanh7635,

I absolutely appreciate that you shared your experiences with the Casino Guru team. We will now try to get in touch with the casino.

Hello

We would like to know a little more about the situation - when exactly did it happen and when was the last time, dear Deanh7635, you communicated with our support team about self-exclusion?

I have emailed you previously but never got any response to my emails about this situation that is why I had to get help from casino guru as you would not respond to me

the issue was raised in 2020 when I went to live chat and requested self exclusion for gambling addiction to which I had no help then I contacted you by email requesting my account to be permanently closed as I had a gambling addiction requested this multiple times but you kept telling me I need to do this and I need to that I done everything you asked I have most of the emails form these chats also some screenshots of live chats basically begging for you to close my account wich should be an easy process after weeks of back and forth I just stopped using your site as I felt you were not helping me with my one simple request

I recently requested a copy of all my chat transcripts to which your reply was we cannot provide this information which is a lie as you have to keep these records and I have I right to request them.

I also asked for my net position in your casino to see my total deposits

and withdrawals

which you said you cannot provide me

after some time I went back to your site and I realised I was still not self excluded so been a gambling addict I was happy enough to be able to play which in turn lead to me losing a lot of money over said period of time but during this time I was met with 100s of issues with stalled withdrawals sometimes taking weeks and multiple different reasons why withdrawals be stuck so I couldn’t even cancel them if you look trough our live chats you will see for your self the issue there are 1000s of live chats

i have had enough of the issues with your site I am still not self excluded but I don’t access your site any more as it’s a complete scam

if you need more information please contact me I am happy to help resolve this matter

Thanks for the info

Regarding chat conversations - we don't actually store chat history for such a long period, so we actually can't provide them to you

Regarding complete information about deposits and withdrawals, we also do not store it in this format.

As for the self-exclusion mechanism itself - in the format of unconditional blocking, such a mechanism appeared in our side later than 2020, unfortunately, so in 2020 we would actually suggest you sent an email to block your account. It’s hard to say now why the blocking didn’t happen via email; perhaps the email didn’t contain information about the account or something else. We are sorry that it was not possible to do this then, but at the moment we can offer blocking at any time if the reason is gambling addiction. If you want, we can do it right now. Tell me, please, is this the goal now?

Dear Pin-Up Casino team,

thank you for your cooperation. I am forwarding to your email the evidence provided by the player.

Firstly, please close the player's account as soon as possible. Given that you are aware of the gambling problem and considering the evidence provided, the player has reached out to you about this issue multiple times, so there should be no need for further discussion.

Based on the evidence provided, can you explain why the player's account was not closed?

Yes, of course, Jozef, the account is already blocked) We just wanted to clarify whether this is the goal now

As for why the account was not blocked earlier. Unfortunately, we do not have the original correspondence from such a long time

Based on the screenshots that are available, where the player received answers, he communicated through our email support@pin-up.team, but without indicating the account ID, so we were unable to block the account. The emails in the screenshots in which the ID was present (for example, dated April 22, 2020) were sent to support@pin-up.casino, which does not exist with us, so we simply did not receive this email. Where another email was sent, which contains a copy of the text of the correspondence with support in the chat on the site (the account ID is also noted in this email) is not visible in the screenshot

Perhaps the emails never arrived at our email support@pin-up.team, which is why the account was not blocked

I have more emails but I will have to look trough 100s of emails so please bare with me I will find all the evidence to prove I followed procedures to get my account closed I was actually pledging with you to close my account as my addiction was so bad at the time as for the outcome I wish to be refunded all deposits made after the initial request for self exclusion for gambling addiction minus and withdrawals this is why I have requested my net position at your casino I have briefly calculated this to be over 10,000 euro

Dear Deanh7635,

could you forward to the casino team all the evidence and add me to cc.? Please, let me know if you need more time.

jozef.k@casino.guru

Dear Deanh7635,

I have sent you the requested information can you confirm if you have received this as I thought I send it the last time you requested this

Dear Deanh7635,

I confirm that I have not found any similar email (you should forward the email with evidence to the casino where I am in cc). Could you please post a screenshot of it in this thread?
