PlayiO Casino - El jugador exige un reembolso tras la reapertura de su cuenta.

Hello,

I hereby file a complaint regarding my account with Playio and request a refund of my losses.

I had previously and explicitly and permanently blocked my account due to a gambling problem. Despite this clear self-exclusion request, my account was later reopened without my consent.

After the reopening, I regained access to my account and subsequently lost a total of approximately €1000.

Furthermore, I continued to receive bonus offers and promotional messages even though I had clearly communicated my gambling addiction and requested a permanent ban.

According to the applicable guidelines for responsible gaming, my account should have remained permanently closed in this case, and I should not have been granted any further access.

I believe that all losses incurred after my self-exclusion request should be fully reimbursed.

I will gladly send all the evidence to the responsible Casinoguru employee.

Thank you very much for reviewing my case.

Best regards

Hallo,

ich möchte hiermit eine Beschwerde bezüglich meines Kontos bei Playio einreichen und die Rückerstattung meiner Verluste beantragen.

Ich habe mein Konto zuvor ausdrücklich und dauerhaft aufgrund eines Glücksspielproblems sperren lassen. Trotz dieser eindeutigen Selbstausschluss-Anfrage wurde mein Konto später ohne meine Zustimmung wieder eröffnet.

Nach der Wiedereröffnung hatte ich erneut Zugriff auf mein Konto und habe in der Folge insgesamt etwa 1000 € verloren.

Darüber hinaus habe ich weiterhin Bonusangebote und Werbemitteilungen erhalten, obwohl ich meine Spielsucht klar kommuniziert und eine dauerhafte Sperrung verlangt hatte.

Nach den geltenden Richtlinien zum verantwortungsvollen Spielen hätte mein Konto in diesem Fall dauerhaft geschlossen bleiben müssen, und mir hätte kein weiterer Zugang gewährt werden dürfen.

Ich bin der Ansicht, dass alle Verluste, die nach meiner Selbstausschluss-Anfrage entstanden sind, vollständig erstattet werden sollten.

Ich sende dem zuständigen Casinoguru Mitarbeiter gerne alle Beweise zu.

Vielen Dank für die Prüfung meines Falls.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Finn **** / bludiadax

Hello,

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

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so we can better determine how to assist you.

• Is your account currently accessible to you?
• Could you please share the communication in which you informed the casino about your gambling issues? Please share the information with timestamps if available, to my email at tomas@casino.guru
• When was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
• Has the casino responded to your refund request already? What did the casino reply?

If your account is currently not blocked, as the next step, I recommend you request a new self-exclusion via email at support@playio.com, and at the same time, include me in the copy of the email at tomas@casino.guru

When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the period. Additionally, the email subject should be marked and easily recognizable, as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly, you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible.

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion:

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

Date of birth:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings PlayiO Casino Support,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be immediately excluded from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material permanently.

The reason for my decision is that I am suffering from gambling problems.

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."

In the meantime, check other resources and information in our responsible gambling guide found here: https://casino.guru/responsible-gambling-guide

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

Dear bludiadax,

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.

We’ve reopened this complaint at the request of bludiadax. We would like to allow this case one more chance to be resolved and help both parties involved to reach a satisfactory conclusion. Player's message:

Hello Tomas,

Thank you very much. I would like to reopen the complaint and answer all outstanding questions.

Do I currently have access to my account?

Yes. My account is still accessible. Although I explicitly had myself permanently banned due to gambling addiction, I can still log in and theoretically still make deposits today.

Message regarding gambling addiction / self-exclusion

I have explicitly informed the casino about my gambling addiction and requested permanent account closure. I will forward the corresponding email exchange with timestamps directly to you via email at tomas@casino.guru .

Additionally, my account was reopened after my initial self-exclusion. In the meantime, I even had myself explicitly excluded a second time due to gambling addiction.

When did I last make a deposit?

My last deposit was made yesterday. Despite my explicit self-exclusion requests due to gambling addiction, the account remains accessible and usable.

Contact the casino regarding a refund

So far I have not had any contact with the casino regarding a refund of my losses.

Furthermore, I would like to add that I still have access to my account even though I explicitly requested a permanent ban due to gambling addiction. As I understand it, this constitutes a serious violation of the principles of responsible gambling.

I became aware of the reopening through the bonus offers from Playio, which I received even though I had explicitly requested self-exclusion due to gambling addiction.

Thank you so much for reopening the case and for your support.

Best regards

bludiadax

I would also like to invite the PlayiO Casino representative to enter the discussion.

Dear casino representative,

Dear casino representative,

thank you for your response, we will be awaiting the results of your review. In the meantime, I would kindly like to ask you to close the user's account.

Hello everyone,

Since requesting permanent self-exclusion, I have made the following transactions on my PlayIO account:

2690 deposits

1600 payouts

I am therefore demanding a refund of the difference of €1090 from PlayIO. I can provide the transaction IDs if needed.

Best regards

bludiadax

Hallo zusammen,

ich habe seit meiner beantragten dauerhaften Selbstsperre folgende Transaktionen auf dem PlayIO-Konto getätigt:

2690 Einzahlungen

1600 Auszahlungen

Ich fordere somit die Differenz von 1090 Euro von PlayIO zurück. Die Transaktions-IDs kann ich bei Bedarf nennen.

Viele Grüße
