Powbet Casino - L'account del giocatore è stato riaperto senza consenso.

Hi, last week my powbet account was reopened without my consent, I received a text message saying congratulations, your account has been reopened without me asking for anything. I'm going to a psychologist because of gambling addiction, I hadn't been playing for over a month now and these guys reopened my account on their own without me doing anything, I don't think it's regular. I tried to send emails for explanations but nothing, live support from "Zendesk not avaible" and like a gambling-addled idiot I obviously played, played and played again. I sent other emails back but nothing. I played (lost) I don't know more than €500 because they reopened the account instead of me. I ask you if it's possible to do something and get this money back because I also said in the emails that I'm filing a complaint against them for moral and physical damages.

Salve, settimana scorsa mi é stato riaperto il conto di powbet senza il mio consenso, mi é arrivato un sms con scritto congratulazioni il tuo account é stato riaperto senza che chiedessi niente. Io sto andando dallo psicologo per via della ludopatia, era più di un mese ora che non stavo giocando e questi qui mi hanno riaperto il conto da soli senza che facessi niente, non penso sia regolare. Ho provato a mandare email per spiegazioni ma niente, l’assistenza live da "Zendesk not avaible" e io come un coglione ludopatico ovviamente ho giocato, giocato e rigiocato. Ho rimandato altre e-mail ma niente. Ho giocato(perso)non so più di 500€ perché hanno riaperto il conto loro invece che io. Vi chiedo se è possibile fare qualcosa e riprendere questi soldi perché io anche nelle e-mail ho detto che gli faccio una denuncia anche per danni morali e fisici.

Dear davidtogneri1, 

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion: 

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to the player.  

On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with a gambling problem). 

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is veronika.f@casino.guru. 

Have you ever requested that your Powbet Casino account be closed? If so, please specify for how long.

Thank you very much in advance. 

Best regards, 

Veronika

I sent her everything via email

Le ho mandato tutto via e-mail

Novelty?

Novità?

Thank you for your emails.

The screenshot from 2023 does not indicate that you requested permanent self-exclusion due to gambling addiction. Without this information, we cannot confirm whether your account was meant to be closed permanently or only temporarily. Additionally, we need to verify that the self-exclusion was indeed due to gambling addiction and not a general account closure or suspension without a clear reason.

If you're unable to provide communication that proves your account was self-excluded for gambling addiction in 2023, unfortunately, we won't be able to assist you in obtaining refunds for your lost deposits.

Thank you for your understanding.

no because in 2023 you have to close the account because it took me too long, I didn't suffer from that yet. I started the treatment in November 2024. But anyway I had closed the account and it was reopened without me requesting the reopening. Then I continued to throw money away again, despite having sent all the emails and the request to close the account again, that is in addition to the €500 at the beginning, the assistance is still not working and they never answered my emails neither about why they had reopened the account nor for the request to close the account, what should I do? Should I continue to throw money away because they don't want to close my account? I would like to understand, am I Santa Claus who gives them money? They have already reopened without permission and now they don't even close it for me

no perché nel 2023 devi chiudere l’account perché ci avevo messo troppo, non soffrivo ancora di quello. Ho iniziato la cura a novembre 2024. Ma comunque avevo chiuso l’account e mi é stato riaperto senza che io facessi richiesta della riapertura. Poi ho continuato a buttarci soldi ancora, nonostante abbia mandato tutte le mail e la richiesta di nuovo della chiusura del conto, cioè oltre ai 500€ dell’inizio, l’assistenza tuttora non va e alle mail non mi hanno mai risposto ne sul perché mi avessero riaperto l’account né per la richiesta della chiusura del conto, io che devo fare? Devo continuare a buttarci i soldi perché non mi vogliono chiudere l’account? Vorrei capire, sono babbo natale che gli regala i soldi? Già hanno riaperto senza permesso e in più ora non me lo chiudono nemmeno

In the meantime they are not closing my profile yet, I continue to send them emails they answer me once every 5 days and they have not closed my profile yet. In the meantime even tonight 250€ thrown in the toilet because I see how much they care about the customer, I have been trying to close the profile for two fucking weeks and they do not want to close it because I give them all my money

Nel frattempo non mi stanno chiudendo ancora il profilo, sto continuando a mandare mail loro mi rispondono una volta ogni 5 giorni e non mi hanno ancora chiuso il profilo. Intanto anche stanotte 250€ buttati nel cesso perché lo vedo come ci tengono al cliente, son due cazzo di settimane che sto cercando di chiudere il profilo e non vogliono chiudermelo perché gli regalo tutti i miei soldi

I was just told that the reopening of the profile happened due to a bug, so I would have lost €1000 and 3 months of sobriety from the game due to a bug?

Mi é stato appena detto che la riapertura del profilo é avvenuta a causa di un bug, quindi io avrei perso 1000€ e 3 mesi di sobrietà dal gioco per via di un bug?

Thank you for keeping me updated. Please forward me the most recent communications between you and the casino, where you requested self-exclusion and the casino informed you about a bug in their system (veronika.f@casino.guru).

Mandato

In the meantime I'm now at more than €1000 wasted because of them and the shitty bug that made me reopen my profile, I resent the email and spoke to support but they don't answer, I really don't know what to do anymore

Nel frattempo sono ormai a più di 1000€ buttati per colpa loro e del bug di merda che mi ha fatto riaprire il profilo, ho rimandato l’e-mail e parlato con l’assistenza ma non rispondono, io non so più veramente che fare

They promptly closed my profile now while I had a withdrawal in progress so they cancel that too and they keep that money there too, but is it normal? In addition to having stolen that other one from me because of a bug

Mi hanno chiuso puntualmente il profilo ora mentre avevo un prelievo in corso così mi annullano anche quello e si tengono pure quei soldi lì, ma é normale? Oltre ad avermi rubato quell’altri per via di un bug

Thank you very much, davidtogneri1, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Kubo (jakub.m@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.

Thank you very much, we hope so.

Grazie mille, speriamo

But will they contact me by email or do I have to write to them?

Ma vengo contattato tramite mail o gli devo scrivere io?

Dear davidtogneri1,

I'm Kubo, and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. If there have been any new updates regarding this case since the last information provided, please let me know.

I would like to invite the Powbet Casino's representatives to join this discussion and provide any available information to help resolve this issue.

Dear Powbet Casino,

I would appreciate it if you could provide detailed information regarding this case. Specifically, I would like to understand why the player's account was not closed immediately after he explicitly informed you about his gambling problem. Instead, it took 11 days for your team to respond, only to inform him that any remaining balance in his account would be forfeited upon closure.

Could you please clarify the reasons for this delay and the rationale behind your approach to handling self-exclusion requests? As responsible gambling is a critical matter, I believe a timely response and action are essential in such cases.

I look forward to your prompt clarification.

Best Regards,

Kubo

Dear all, 

We would like to kindly apologize for the delay.

We would like to inform you that we are looking into the request.

We would kindly request that you remain patient as we endeavor to complete the verification as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,

Powbet Casino Team

Dear Powbet Casino,

Thank you for your response. Could you kindly provide an estimated timeframe for the review of the issue at hand?

I appreciate your cooperation.

It's like the emails I sent, I'm sorry because I have nothing against them, but it can't always take so long for answers, there are people who lose their sanity and money, and doing so only makes it worse, because in my case too I asked for an explanation and closure of the account and it took more than 14 days, it's not normal. I only want a refund from when my account was reopened, so from January 29th included, thank you.

É come per le mail che ho mandato io, mi dispiace perché non ho nulla contro di loro, ma non ci può volere sempre così tantissimo per delle risposte, c’è gente che ci perde della sanità mentale e dei soldi, e a fare così é solo che peggio, perché anche nel mio caso ho chiesto spiegazione e chiusura dell’account e ci sono voluti più di 14 giorni, non è normale. Io voglio solo il rimborso da quando mi é stato riaperto l’account, quindi dal 29 gennaio compreso, grazie.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Yes but it's not normal for them to do this, I lost more than €1000 in total because they do this and don't respond and do as they please

Sì ma non é normale però che facciano così, io ho perso più di 1000€ fra tutto perché fanno così e non rispondono e fanno come li pare

Dear davidtogneri1,

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Please be assured that we are committed to resolving this situation.

We are currently processing your refund request.

Kind regards,

Powbet Casino Team

OK thank you

Ok grazie

Dear Powbet Casino,

Thank you for your response and for taking responsibility for the situation. Could you please provide an update on the status of the refund processing?

I appreciate your reply.
