Failed to properly handle repeated permanent self exclusion requests
I am submitting this complaint regarding Rakebit Casino's handling of my repeated requests for permanent self-exclusion and the gambling activity and financial losses that followed.
On 1 September 2026, I requested permanent account closure because I wanted to prevent myself from returning to gambling. My account was closed following this request.
On 4 September, I explained that I was concerned I might return when tempted. I was told that my account could be reviewed for reopening if I requested it and accepted responsibility.
On 29 September, I explicitly disclosed my gambling problem and again requested permanent self-exclusion. I explained that I needed my account to be made inaccessible so that I could not return when tempted. Despite this, I was initially offered a seven-day break rather than the permanent exclusion I requested. In the end, again, a temporary close, which is reversible. I have proof of clearly multiple times mentioning to fully ban me so I cannot come back regardless of how I try, as due to gambling problems I reach out to chat, and this has affected my health negatively.
In correspondence between 2 and 7 October, reopening remained possible. On 6 October, I was also offered a $50 free chip and other bonuses despite the concerns I had already raised about my gambling. I again requested a permanent ban on 7 October.
I acknowledge that during some live chats I answered "no" when asked whether I had a gambling problem. However, I had already explicitly disclosed my gambling problem in writing and repeatedly requested permanent exclusion. My complaint is that these written disclosures and requests were not adequately considered alongside my subsequent live-chat answers.
Rakebit's published Terms of Use describe a 24-hour cooling-off period during which gambling should be disabled, as well as a separate account-closure procedure. The terms also list permanent self-exclusion as an available option. I have asked Rakebit to explain which procedure applied to my requests and to provide records showing when my account was restricted, accessible, closed, or reopened.
My transaction records show substantial deposits after my renewed written request on 29 September. My compiled records currently show 6,691.52 USDT in deposits between 1 and 11 October 2026. This is a gross deposit figure, not a claim that the entire amount represents net losses.
I have submitted a formal complaint to Rakebit requesting an investigation, complete transaction and gameplay records, an explanation of how my exclusion requests were handled, and reimbursement of the net losses reasonably attributable to any failure to appropriately implement or maintain the requested exclusion.
I am asking for this complaint to be reviewed and for Rakebit to address the written evidence, the timing of account restrictions, and the subsequent account activity. I can provide the relevant emails, live-chat transcripts, published terms, transaction records, and Rakebit's response to my formal complaint.
I understand that the live-chat answers may be relevant to the assessment, but I ask that they be considered alongside the full chronology of my written requests and disclosures.
