Mr Bit Casino - Responsible Gambling Failure so I lost my money

RESOLVED

Complaint Info

Disputed casino

Mr Bit Casino

Amount

$ 449.11

2 years ago

On March 7th, 2023, I took the initiative to contact my VIP manager at [email protected] and requested the closure of my account in accordance with responsible gambling guidelines displayed on their website. As an individual battling with a gambling addiction, I made the decision to do so while in a clear state of mind. However, despite my request, the casino failed to act upon it within the stipulated 48-hour time frame as stated in their terms.

Since then, I have deposited $1,137.60 and withdrawn $688.49 as winnings, leaving me with a net loss of $449.11. This situation is concerning, especially considering that I continued to receive promotional emails from the casino even after requesting account closure.

As a responsible gambler seeking help, I am disappointed with the lack of emphasis on responsible gambling measures and the ineffective self-exclusion policies implemented by the casino. When I followed up on May 1st, 2023, to ensure the closure of my account and prevent future gambling, I was informed of the casino's condition-by-steps policy of 7, 14, 30 days, and forever, which was not explicitly stated in their terms. Moreover, the policy of instant account reopening upon customer request is not helpful in preventing relapse and addiction.

The process of self-exclusion should be made simple, effective, and prioritized to prevent individuals struggling with gambling addiction from accessing their accounts. At this point, I am only requesting compensation for the money lost from the time I initially requested account closure and not for the therapy.

I have also taken the step of submitting all relevant evidence to Askgamblers.com for their investigation and review. I am willing to provide any additional information as requested by them.

I urge the casino to take responsible gambling seriously and implement effective measures to support individuals struggling with addiction while preventing relapse. It is vital that casinos prioritize responsible gambling to protect their customers' financial and mental health.

Thank you for your response. While I appreciate that my account has been blocked, I would like to reiterate that my initial request to have it closed was made in March, and the lack of action on the casino's part has resulted in a loss of $449.11 (Screenshots as proof are all uploaded)

I am disappointed that this issue was not resolved earlier and feel that it has caused unnecessary stress and financial burden. Therefore, I respectfully request that the casino provide compensation for the loss incurred due to the delay in closing my account which amounts to around $449. I would like to clarify that my request for compensation is only for the loss I incurred during the period when my account should have been closed as per my request. I am not seeking any additional compensation beyond this.

I hope that the casino will take responsibility for its actions and take the necessary steps to ensure that similar situations do not occur in the future. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to a prompt resolution.

Dear COLDSTORM and ASKGAMBLERS Team,

We have analyzed all your appeals for the blocking account in 2023:
02/06/2023 - player's request for account blocking
03/01/2023 - the player didn't respond to messages and calls
03/10/2023 - the account was blocked for seven days
04/11/2023 - request for a bonus by the player (the account was unblocked)
05/01/2023 - request for blocking account by the player (blocked for seven days)
05/02/2023 - unlocked by player request
05/05/2023 - blocked by request by the player forever

As you can see, all your requests were satisfied after communicating with you. According to the Company's regulations, our managers are required to confirm the intention to block directly with you

At the first stage, there is always a temporary blocking with the possibility of recovery - it's worth saying that you used it more than once (after unlocking at your request, you also received bonuses and made financial transactions on your account)

In May 2023, correspondence was made with you about the blocking account, which you need to confirm (so that our managers have the right to block the account). However, after your complete consent, your account was permanently blocked

At the same time, the Company is not responsible for your financial transactions on your account while your account was not blocked (or rather, it was unblocked at your request)

At this stage, your account was blocked without the possibility of recovery

Dear Mr Bit Casino,

Please explain based on what responsible gaming policy your acted upon and why you actually failed to honor clear player's request for account definite closure due to the negative effect it had on his financial health, which should have made you aware of the gambling issues, mentioned not once but 3 times, on March 7th, 8t, 9th https:­//p­rnt.sc­/bf­6xl­r_3dYZY

Please note that, in case you fail to respond within the given timeframe, we will consider your case unresolved and it will be closed accordingly. As a direct consequence of such closure, the operator's ranking score on AskGamblers will be decreased accordingly.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Thank you @Askgamblers for rightfully pointing out the screenshot. I had exactly the same screenshot in mind that you provided as evidence of my explicit requests for account closure on March 7th, 8th, and 9th.

I am also attaching the remaining part of the email and would request Mrbit Casino to read it in its entirety.
You will see how Mrbit Casino has comprehended this query and failed to honor an explicit request for account closure, despite the negative impact it had on my financial health.

Instead of promptly implementing these measures upon my initial request, multiple rounds of questions and interactions were initiated, potentially leading to confusion or discouraging me from closing my account and yet it was not closed. Is this how you confirm a player's intentions of account closure in the name of the Responsible gaming policy?

I would like to emphasize that due to Mr Bit's failure to honor my account closure request, I found myself in a vulnerable position. As a result, I ended up depositing additional funds and continued to engage in gambling activities on their platform. This decision was made under circumstances where I should have been provided the necessary support and protection through the closure of my account. When I followed up on May 1st, 2023, to ensure the closure of my account and prevent future gambling, I was informed of the casino's condition-by-steps policy of 7, 14, 30 days, and forever and when I registered a complaint on Askgamblers.com my account was finally blocked permanently with no "CONDITIONS" whatsoever. (I have attached all the screenshots in my first post to support these claims)


@MrBit Casino, In conclusion, I would like to reiterate that overall, I have had positive experiences with this casino, and I believe it has the potential to be a great platform. However, it is crucial for you guys to address and improve your responsible gaming policy to ensure the well-being of your players.
Let's close this amicably, I kindly request that you provide me with the compensation as requested earlier and close this case. This compensation would not only serve to rectify the harm caused but also demonstrate your commitment to responsible gaming and customer satisfaction.
I eagerly await your resolution on this.

Dear COLDSTORM,

Since your account has already been blocked, in order to return your funds, we need to temporarily unblock your account. After that the funds will be credited to your account. Then you will need to withdraw these funds. As soon as you give your consent to this, we will immediately do it. You just need to withdraw. Then we will block your account forever. Please let me know if it's OK for you

I am agreeable to this arrangement. I understand that in order to initiate the withdrawal process and retrieve the funds, my account needs to be temporarily unblocked. Once the funds have been credited to my account, I will proceed with the withdrawal immediately. Once the funds are received, I shall update here and this complaint can be marked as resolved.
