Breaching their own self exclusion policy


10 years ago
Due to a gambling addiction, I requested that 77jackpot close my account last month. I contacted support and they did this for me.

However over the past 2 weeks I started getting promotional emails from 'Jim Carling' my 'account manager'. I replied to him that I had self excluded and asked for my account to be closed and for no more emails to be sent. I got no response. I did however try to log in to the casino and was able to - they reopened my account! Not good for a gambling addict, so I deposited and played €300. I reached a balance of €1000 euros and tried to withdraw. But I got a message saying 'you are not allowed to make a withdrawal, contact support'. I then contacted live chat who told me I couldn't withdraw, that my account had been verified but I had previously been self excluded.

Why did they let me deposit €300 and re-open my account after it had been closed?? I would not have been able to withdraw anything should I have won and so they have taken my €300 and basically stolen it. I think this is very underhand - reopening my account after self excluding and allowing my to deposit money but not able to withdraw because of my self excluded status. Shame on you 77jackpot. I want my €300 euros back as you have failed to act responsibly and are rather devious in enticing an addict back on in the way that you did.

Game crash during free spins in "Eye of Horus" not properly investigated
I'm from Germany and my schooling is 30 years back. Please understand if the grammar is not so good. However, I have made a great effort that the text contains no errors that reflect the facts wrong. On January 14, 2018, I played "77 Jackpot" via my iPad in the online casino. At 04:42 (according to the last entry in the game log) I won free games at the game "Eye of Horus" with a bet of 1.00 EUR. These were really promising. In almost every free game appeared "Horus", sometimes several times, and I was in no time in the highest game category arrived. For a bet of 1.00 EUR, the player wins 50.00 EUR for a complete series and when "Horus" appears you get more free spins. Since the symbols can appear multiple times on each reel, multiple wins can be made. Surely you never know how much you will win. After a few free spins, you realize, however, when free spins really bring good profit. These free spins were definitely one of them. Suddenly the game was closed. I think at this time I have already won between 80.00 and 90.00 EUR and there were still 8 or 9 free spins left. But I want to emphasize that I do not remember exactly. Since I was also very scared at first, I cannot remember if only the game, the website or the browser (Safari) was closed. All I remember is that I had to re-register on the website of "77 Jackpot". I knew that it was not really a problem. Since I have a lot of games when I'm on the road, I have often had crashes in other casinos. For all other casinos, you play exactly where you want to go if you select the game after logging in again. There are also casinos where there is an additional menu item "unfinished games". After registering at "77 Jackpot" I realized that everything was gone. I could not finish the free spins and the win was not credited until then. After a day or two, I explained my problem through the chat. The employee has written to me that customer service will take care of it. Unfortunately I do not have the chat protocol. After another four or five days, I contacted the chat again. I asked the co-worker to give me the game back so I could continue my free spins. As I can remember, the co-worker wrote to me that I should be patient for a moment, because he needs to talk to customer service. Then he asked me a strange question that I cannot remember. All I know is that I answered, "I do not understand your question!". Chat staff wrote that customer service will take care of it. Unfortunately I do not have the chat protocol. On January 24, 2018, I once again explained everything through the chat and told the employee that I am very disappointed that no one has contacted me yet. I once again asked the co-worker to give me the game so I could continue my free spins. I got the answer, I should explain everything again in an e-mail. Chat protocol is available. On 24.01.2018 I sent an e-mail to [email protected] and explained everything once again. I've asked the casino again to give me the game so I can finish the free spins. E-Mail is available. On 01/30/2018 I sent an e-mail to [email protected] and wrote that I am very surprised that I still have not received a reply. I have asked customer service to answer me about my canceled free spins. E-Mail is available. On 01/30/2018, at 23:49, I received an e-mail from Customer Service with a sentence: "After checking your account, we found no irregularities!" In addition, in the mail was still the recommendation that I empty the browser cache and check the Internet connection. E-Mail is available. No irregularities ??? Customer service can see from the game transaction log that I had free spins and did not finish them. In addition, they see that no profit has been booked on my account. Unfortunately there is a difference to other casinos. For other providers, there is the possibility to select the individual games and get more information about the game. At "77 Jackpot" is only one listing available. It should be mentioned that I sent the first time on 02.02.2018, at 07:09 clock, an email to AskGamblers. On 02.02.2018, at 11:52, I received a 100 € free bonus from the "VIP Manager 77 Jackpot". I've gotten this bonus a long time ago and have nothing to do with my free spins. I reject this bonus because I play only with real money. E-Mail is available. Dear Team of AskGamblers Support, I do not know if it is technically possible. I would be very happy if you could get me to continue and finish the free spins. In any case, I'm very grateful to you for taking care of it. I find the response of the 77 Jackpot Casino absolutely unacceptable. Many Thanks! Best regards Christian Tinzmann

Does not count most of my wagering, refusing to send full game history
I open account on this casino and take nice 200% welcome bonus deposit 25€ and get 50€ bonus. Wager requirement is 35 x bonus --> 1750€. I spin one hour and win nicely and my credit is about 200€, i check my wager requirement and on my account/balance section it show 1543€ left. Thats ok, i think and start spin more, after 1-2 hour unstoppable spins i win some more and my credit raise to 700€. I check my wager requiremet again, suprisely it show totally same 1543€ like 1-2 hours ago. I ask online support chat whats going on and they say it is normal. website dont count it online, its updated after 24H. Never see this before... but its ok. I spin maybe 3-4 hours MORE and wager many thousands of euros more and ending credit 457€ and then finish my play this day. So next evening after 24 hours i check my account/balance again and like i afraid its not updated, still same 1543€ wager requirement. I wait one more night and this morning start to check again... no updated. Then i ask from my "account manager" Jim Carling by email if he can help this problem. Now he answer me 2 times same at i wager only 207€ and i have to wager 1543e more, what is far far away from truth. On website cannot check your game history what tell the true what really happen. Now i ask from him if he can send me my gamehistory somehow but i dont belive they wanna do that. Look like this casino its not play fair at all.
