Failed to block my account due to gambling issues

Hello AskGamblers Team,

I am submitting a complaint against Del Oro Casino regarding their failure to act on a responsible gambling request.

On 16 February, I contacted Del Oro Casino and explicitly requested that my account be blocked due to gambling problems. I clearly stated the reason as responsible gambling-related harm, and I will attach evidence of this request.

From 16 February onwards, I did not receive any confirmation or response indicating that my account had been blocked or restricted.

On 2 May, I was still able to access my account, deposit funds, and continue playing. As a result, I lost several hundred euros during this period.

This shows that my request to block my account was not processed or implemented correctly, despite being a clear responsible gambling request. Once a player requests a gambling block due to gambling problems, the operator is required to act immediately and prevent further access to the account.

If the account had been properly blocked on 16 February, I would not have been able to log in, deposit, or play on 2 May.

I am requesting the following:

* Investigation into why my account blocking request from 16 February was not actioned

* Refund of deposits and losses made after 16 February

* Clarification of how responsible gambling requests are handled and why this request was not implemented

I will provide supporting evidence of my original request.

Casino refusing to honor bonus terms agreed upon with live chat
So I joined casino Del Oro yesterday because I had them recommended to me by a friend and was told that they offer a personalized for your first deposit. So I joined the website and talk to the live chat agents and was negotiating my first bonus offer with Victoria and it's terms. we came to the agreement that I would get either a 150% or $200% match deposit bonus with 35 times wagering with no Max win/withdrawal. Great!

"The bonus is ready to go" Victoria said just give me the thumbs up and I'll activate it for you. When I replied to her saying yes please do, somebody else entered the chat and said they were taking over for her it said that this person, Sofia, was the operations manager so I wasn't worried as Sofia obviously knew what she was doing and it was clearly stated that she knew she was taking over the conversation from someone else and made comments about terms that were only discussed with Victoria so she was obviously aware of our conversation so I said that's fine and let this new chat agent activate my bonus with seemingly no issues and started playing.

I had some luck and managed to get my winnings up to about $2300 worth and completed the wagering only to find that the moment I completed way during half of my balance was taken when I tried to speak to the agent about it I was I was told that there was a max win amount. I tried to explain that we had agreed there would be no Max win and even shared screenshots of the conversation with her but I they tried to convince me that the agent had phrased it in such a way that it meant something different and she wasn't actually agreeing to no Max when cap she was agreeing to know overall withdrawal amount limit. They also tried to tell me that their agents dont have the ability to change the max withdrawal amount which is also later proven untrue.

I tried later on to speak to another agent who I showed that in their own terms and conditions it is called Max cash out (which is what me and Victoria were referring to it as), and shared web pages that also defined max withdrawal as a max win cap for bonus, and simply got given the run around. Got told i should be happy i got $500 when i only spent 28, which i thought was ridiculous, thats the whole point of gambling. I debated with the agents for a long time on this day, even got to speak to the operations manager that activated my bonus and even she tried to argue that it didn't matter if the agent agreed i could have no win cap, i should have looked at my bonus terms and conditions, basically saying they can tell whatever mistruths they like, they shouldnt have to follow through.

SO i do go look at my bonus history and the terms and conditions, and weirdly enough it says the max payout is set at $16000. I show this to Sofia and she tells me something about how they just use that bonus as a template. Which makes no sense to me. How are we supposed to see our max payout amount then if their own staff can lie about it and the only place we can see it displays someone elses bonus information?

I have as of yet been offered no reasonable explanation, apology or reparation and i think this is completely unacceptable in any reasonable persons opinion.

I have screenshots of all relevant moments, of my conversations, and if my bonus history page, and of their relevant terms and conditions.

Noone is trying to deny that Victoria did agree there would be no Max wincap/withdrawal/cash out. They're just saying it doesn't matter I guess? All I want is what is left of my winnings that were unfairly taken :(
