Urgent request for 1 year account suspension and refund following unprocessed Self Exclusion request
I am submitting this complaint regarding 1xBet’s failure to process my self-exclusion request submitted on May 23, 2025, requesting a one-year account suspension due to serious gambling-related concerns. I have attached a screenshot of this initial request.
1xBet responded the same day, asking for passport verification. At that time, I did not have access to my passport to provide this information. However, I also spoke by telephone with a live support operator, clearly communicating my intention to self-exclude for one year.
Despite my clear and timely request, my account remained active. I was able to continue depositing funds and gambling after May 23, 2025.
I would like to provide the following timeline of my efforts and 1xBet’s failure to act:
May 23, 2025: Submitted a self-exclusion request on 1xBet’s platform, requesting a one-year suspension due to gambling problems.
May 23, 2025: Received a reply requesting passport verification.
May 24, 2025: Contacted live support by telephone to confirm my self-exclusion request and explained my inability to provide passport verification at that time.
May 23 – June 25, 2025: Despite my request, my account remained active, and I was able to deposit over $74,000 CAD during this period.
The continuation of gambling after my exclusion request caused significant financial harm and emotional distress. I reached out proactively to stop gambling and took responsible steps to do so, but 1xBet failed in their duty to enforce the exclusion promptly.
As a licensed operator, 1xBet is responsible for enforcing self-exclusion requests quickly to protect players. Their failure to do so is a breach of responsible gambling practices.
Therefore, I am requesting:
Immediate suspension of my account for one year, or permanent closure if possible, as I have communicated the urgency of my exclusion request despite being unable to provide verification documentation.
A refund of all deposits made after May 23, 2025, minus any withdrawals, as these deposits were made after my explicit request to self-exclude and represent financial harm caused by 1xBet’s failure to act.
Thank you for your attention and assistance in this matter. I am happy to provide any additional information or documentation required to support this complaint.
