FestivalPlay Casino - Il giocatore non può chiudere il suo account.

This may sound like a non-issue, but it's a huge one.

For over a week I have been sending emails to them, explaining that:

"I am a gambler, I have gambling issue, so I would like to have my Festival account closed".

The scenario is always the same.

1) I talk to their live chat.

2) They tell me to write an email to [email protected]

3) I write to [email protected]

4) I got an automatic message to write to [email protected]

5) I write to [email protected]

5) I'm getting no response.

and the cirle starts again.

Would you help me to get my account blocked permanently? I am a gambler, and every day I have access is a horrible risk for me.

kind regards

Dear Tom_1981,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. I have read the casino's terms and conditions and this is what I have found:

3.22.1. The customer acknowledges, agrees and accepts that the Operator shall temporarily suspend access to his/her Account or terminate it altogether, within ten business days, deemed Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays ("Business Days") of receiving a properly formatted request to Self-Exclude in connection with customer’s declaration that he/she may be experiencing problematic gambling behavior. ("Self-Exclusion Request")

3.22.2. The customer acknowledges, agrees and accepts that a Self-Exclusion Request as meant in section 3.22.1. is deemed properly formatted if and when it complies with the criteria as set forth in section 3.22.3. If customer’s request does not comply with the said criteria, the Operator is not required to treat the request as a request for Self-Exclusion and the Self-Exclusion Policy shall then not apply to customer’s request.

3.22.3. The customer acknowledges, agrees and accepts that the procedure for Self-Exclusion with the Brand is as follows: If the customer wants to be Self-Excluded from FestivalPlay.com, he/she needs to contact us on the following email address: [email protected]

Customer’s email needs to include the following information:

(a) a clear request that states that customer wishes to be fully Self-Excluded (not partially restricted) on a voluntary basis;

(b) the duration of the period of the Self-Exclusion, with a minimum of twenty-four hours.

What email address did you use to register at this casino? Have you used the same email address to contact the casino with the request to close your account due to gambling addiction?

Have you passed the full KYC verification, or at least submitted any identity documents to the casino for verification?

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

Best regards,

Attila
