Betplays Casino - Betplays reopen account belonging to a gambling addicted without permission
Hello AskGamblers
On August 7, I suddenly receive an email from Betplays that, due to new procedures, they have reopened my account, which I chose to close back in November 2022 due to gambling addiction.
(see attached files: "account_closure" and "reopen_account_without_accept".
Unfortunately, I can't control my addiction, so on August 8 I log into the site again and lose 80 dollars. I contact them immediately after and tell them what has happened (see attached file: "live chat". The chat operator admits that there has been an error and tells me that my account is now closed. I of course ask for a refund of the money that I have lost, but it cannot be done.
I find it very problematic that a site can open a closed account belonging to a gambling addict, and then subsequently run away from responsibility.
I, therefore, believe that I am entitled to recover the lost funds.
