Self exclusion request ignored and new deposits allowed
I am submitting this complaint because Pribet failed to act on my request to close my account due to gambling addiction.
On 1 August 2026, I sent an email to Pribet clearly requesting that my account be closed because I was suffering from a gambling addiction. Despite receiving my request, they did not respond and did not restrict or close my account.
Over the following days, I attempted to contact support through live chat. I have screenshots showing that the support agent stopped responding and my issue was never resolved.
Because my account remained fully accessible, I was able to continue gambling. On 5 August 2026, approximately four days after my self-exclusion request, I lost 20,000 NOK. These losses occurred after I had already informed Pribet that I had a gambling addiction and requested immediate account closure.
I believe Pribet failed to follow responsible gambling principles by not processing my request within a reasonable timeframe and by leaving my account active after being informed of my gambling problem.
I am requesting that this complaint will resolve in Pribet:
- Refunding the 20,000 NOK that I deposited after my self-exclusion request.
- Explain why my request was ignored for several days, so other users can learn and pribet shows accountability
- Confirm that my account has been permanently closed.
- since this is not the first similar complaint to pribet on this platform, askgamblers could reduce their rating considerably.
Evidence attached:
- Email sent on 1 August 2026 requesting account closure due to gambling addiction.
- Screenshots of the live chat showing support stopped responding.
- Account history showing deposits made after my self-exclusion request.
I respectfully ask AskGamblers to investigate this matter and assist in reaching a fair resolution.
