Moana Casino - Se ignora la solicitud de bloqueo de cuenta del jugador.

I have been trying to block my account at Moanacasino for over a year due to gambling addiction.

I have contacted the casino multiple times and requested a ban. Despite repeated contact and replies, the casino has ignored my request. Since last year, I have, of course, lost several hundred euros again.

I continued trying to get myself banned, and since yesterday the casino has been offering me no-deposit bonuses so that I will continue playing, in the same letter in which I again requested to be banned due to gambling addiction.

Ich versuche seit über einem Jahr mein Konto bei Moanacasino zu Sperren wegen Spielsucht.

Ich habe das Casino bereit mehrfach angeschrieben und um Sperre gebeten. Das Casino ignoriert meine Bitte trotz mehfachem Kontakt und rückschreiben.Seit letztem Jahr habe ich natürlich wieder mehrere Huntert Euro verloren.

Ich habe weiterhin versucht mich sperren zu lassen und seit gestern bietet mir das Casino nun Bonis ohne Einzahlung an damit ich weiter spiele, in dem selben Schreiben, in dem ich nochmals wegen Spielsucht zur Sperre gebeten habe.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Moana Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

• Have you unsubscribed from the casino's marketing communication?
• Which channels does the casino use to contact you with advertisements and offers?
• When was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
• Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the issue, including the self-exclusion requests or requests for player protection? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

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,

Tomas

We aim to publish each complaint within 72 hours of submission, but reserve up to 7 days to reply to any subsequent comments.

Hello

I sent you what I have via email.

I have not given the casino permission to advertise to me or to contact me. I receive emails from the casino every day.

My last deposit was a few days ago, and that was also my last request to close my account due to gambling addiction. I've now received a €30 no-deposit bonus to encourage me to continue playing at Moana, along with a form to sign if I do decide to close.

I have been requesting closure for over a year, and unfortunately they come up with a new tactic and signature.

Hallo

Ich habe dir,was ich habe per Mail geschickt.

Ich habe dem Casino keine Zustimmung für Werbung oder Kontakt gegeben.Ich bekomme jeden Tag Mails von dem Casino.

Die letzte Einzahlung war vor einigen Tagen und auch die letzte bitte zur Schließung wegen Spielsucht. Hier habe ich nun einen Bonus von 30€ ohne Einzahlung bekommen dafür,damit ich weiter bei Moana Spielen soll und noch einen Zettel was ich unterschreiben soll falls ich doch schließen will.

Seit über einem Jahr bitte ich um Schließung und kommen die mit neuer Masche und Unterschrift leider.

Hello kenzoela, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej, and I will be assisting you with this case. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.

I’d like to invite a representative of Moana Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue with self-exclusion and clarify the situation? I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence. Any sensitive information or internal system files can be shared with me directly by e-mail matej.l@casino.guru.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Hello Matej,

What exactly do you still need?

I have sent you the emails I have.

For over a year, I've been trying to get my account closed. I've tried several times to have it closed via chat, but I've always been told I have to submit it by email, which I've also tried multiple times. The emails clearly show that I've repeatedly received replies asking how long I want the account closed. My answer has always been the same: I want the account closed permanently due to gambling addiction, but the account is still open. Recently, I've been getting a response saying I'll receive a bonus if I stay, or I have to sign a form for the closure. This is new. How am I supposed to send a signature to a casino for something so dubious, especially since it's still not a guarantee of closure?

Hallo Matej,

Was genau braucht ihr noch?

Ich habe Euch die Mails gesendet die ich habe.

Seit über einem Jahr versuche ich mein Konto sperren zu lassen.Ich habe mehrmals versucht per Chat sperren zu lassen,immer wieder wurde ich darauf hingewiesen, dass ich es per Mail einreichen muss,was ich auch mehrmals versucht habe.In den Mails ist klar herauszulesen das ich auch immer wiede Antworten mit der Frage bekommen habe wie lange das Konto gesperrt werden soll.Meine Antwort ist immer die selbe gewesen:Konto für immer Sperren wegen Spielsucht aber das Konto ist immer noch geöffnet.Seit Kurzem bekomme ich eine Antwort, dass ich ein Bonus bekomme wenn ich bleibe oder ein Formular unterschreiben muss für die Sperre.Das ist jetzt neu.Wie soll man einem Casino eine Unterschrift für etwas schicken was so unseriös ist und es ist immer noch keine Garantie zur Sperre.

Dear kenzoela, since we have all the information necessary from yourself, the message is intended for the casino representative:

 I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence.

However, given the safety index of 1.8 and to manage your expectations accordingly, I am not expecting much of a resolution in this case. However, I will try few more times to contact the casino representative, to see if they will be willing to mediate.

Thanks

Danke

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.

Dear kenzoela,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly via e-mails and Teams, but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from their side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system, and it will negatively impact their future safety rating on our website as such. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue at all. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach in the future. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

To stay safe from this casino (and many others), I would strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker (https://betblocker.org/) onto your computer and mobile device, to keep you safe from online gambling sites while browsing the internet. It's free, and for maximum protection it is recommended to have a family member or a friend to set up the password in your stead. Also, I would advise to block all the mobile numbers and e-mail addresses that are sending you promotional materials.

As a next step, I do recommend you contact the Curaçao Gaming Authority (https://www.gamingcontrolcuracao.org/contact) and submit a complaint with them. Although according to their own article about online gaming - this authority does not deal with the player complaints, they stated that too many messages regarding the same casino may lead to revoking the license in the future, therefore it is worth a shot. If you need help with submitting the request, or if you hear back from either the authority or the casino, please let me know by sending me a quick message at matej.l@casino.guru. I am really sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. :(

Best regards,

Matej
