Winnita Casino - La richiesta di autoesclusione del giocatore è stata ignorata.

I am filing this complaint for a serious breach of responsible gaming practices.

On April 5th, I clearly informed the casino via chat that I was suffering from a gambling addiction and explicitly requested that my account be self-excluded. However, my account was not immediately blocked.

Instead, I was informed that the account blocking would take 1 to 3 days and was told not to play in the meantime. Furthermore, I was informed that if I requested immediate closure, I would lose my balance and would not receive the cashback I was entitled to.

This situation has put me in a very vulnerable position. Given my addiction, the simple "don't gamble" warning is not an adequate safeguard. The casino failed to take immediate action to protect me, despite my explicit request to self-exclude.

As a direct result of this inaction, I continued to gamble and lost approximately €5,000 after my self-exclusion request.

I also find it unacceptable that self-exclusion was effectively made conditional on losing the balance or waiting for cashback, thus discouraging an immediate account block.

I have all the evidence of my communications with customer service, including statements regarding my addiction and my request for self-exclusion.

I request:

a complete review of the case

reimbursement of losses incurred after the request for self-exclusion

a verification of compliance with responsible gaming regulations

I believe that the casino did not act in accordance with the fundamental principles of player protection.

Sto presentando questo reclamo per una grave violazione delle pratiche di gioco responsabile.

In data 5 aprile, ho informato chiaramente il casinò tramite chat di soffrire di dipendenza dal gioco e ho richiesto esplicitamente l’autoesclusione del mio account. Nonostante ciò, il mio account non è stato bloccato immediatamente.

Mi è stato invece comunicato che il blocco dell’account avrebbe richiesto da 1 a 3 giorni e mi è stato detto di non giocare nel frattempo. Inoltre, mi è stato riferito che, nel caso avessi richiesto la chiusura immediata, avrei perso il saldo presente e non avrei ricevuto il cashback a cui avevo diritto.

Questa situazione mi ha messo in una condizione di forte vulnerabilità. A causa della mia dipendenza, il semplice invito a "non giocare" non rappresenta una misura di tutela adeguata. Il casinò non ha adottato un intervento immediato per proteggermi, nonostante la mia richiesta esplicita di autoesclusione.

Come conseguenza diretta di questa mancata azione, ho continuato a giocare e ho perso circa 5000€ dopo la mia richiesta di autoesclusione.

Ritengo inoltre inaccettabile che l’autoesclusione sia stata di fatto subordinata alla perdita del saldo o all’attesa del cashback, scoraggiando così un blocco immediato dell’account.

Dispongo di tutte le prove delle comunicazioni con il servizio clienti, incluse le dichiarazioni relative alla mia dipendenza e la richiesta di autoesclusione.

Richiedo:

una revisione completa del caso

il rimborso delle perdite subite dopo la richiesta di autoesclusione

una verifica del rispetto delle norme di gioco responsabile

Ritengo che il casinò non abbia agito in conformità ai principi fondamentali di tutela del giocatore.
