Comeon has always had a non-functioning self-exclusion system. Up until last year if you self-excluded through the site and logged back in there was a button to re-open you account regardless of how long you self-excluded. They removed the self-exclusion system through the website and then they made you contact support to self-exclude. I have a severe gambling problem and I am in treatment for it so I mailed them to close my account permanently. After a while I tried logging in again ,and again there was a button to reopen my account. I did so and lost a lot of money!!! I specifically asked to be excluded permanently why are they doing this?! Even my gambling problem therapist says this is illegal. I want my
account shut down permanently and my money back!
Thank you! Problem solved!
Hi. We wish you all the best for the future!
Sincerely
Jenny and Team ComeOn
The refund has being received.
It's an empty victory as it's going to therapy bills but regardless of that, I must thank Askgamblers and ComeOn for handling this so professionally and quickly.
The problem was always with me - I should have never started gambling in my life, I'm just glad this exception was made and that self-exclusion will be upheld more rigidly in the future. Problem solved - Thanks!
Hi. This situation is unfortunate indeed, so first thing first – we will send back any deposits that you made after 18th of March to your bank card. I would like to state that this is an exception, since you decided to reopen the account and leave it open and play for 17 days. It is unfortunate that we were not aware of the reason sooner. Still, we failed you in this case and hence the money will be returned to you. I will make sure that we improve certain flows in our team.
As a side note, my previous reply was not trying to avoid the issue, but simply explain the system. Let me explain a bit further. The reason we are asking for the reason is so that we can improve, as you also mentioned. Let’s say something has gone wrong on the site (which happens online from time to time), then it is very important for us to find out about this and correct the situation in order to provide a good gaming experience. Sometimes our players will tell us straight away what the situation is, but sometimes they don’t and then we need to ask. If we don’t ask, we can’t improve. As you said, a lot of companies do ask their customers for feedback. We avoid asking about gambling issues directly as this can feel a little bit strong to some players if it’s not the case. What we are essentially offering is entertainment in the form of exciting games, the chance to bet on your favourite teams and have a shot at some really nice jackpots etc. Online casinos are of course a special type of entertainment and we are not directly comparable with social media sites, even though we are a community for betting and playing games which means we adopt some similar systems. As you mention, we do have a different type of responsibility than for example Facebook.
I hope you see this fairly long answer as a sign of respect, rather than aiming to avoid the issue at hand. The reopen button was completely removed from your account since 3rd April. We will reverse your account reopening request on 18th March and return the funds you deposited after that date to your bank card.
Sincerely
Jenny
