Self exclusion not honored
I have a gambling addiction and I am not proud of this but do try my best and self exclude to assist me in keeping my addiction under control.
I have self excluded from 888.com but was still able to open an account with foxy and spent €5000.
If I had of won, clearly I did not, I would been unable to withdraw any winnings as this would be against the terms and conditions.
So in theory I have just given the casino €5000.

Dear Ian,
This is the Casino Security Team, we are contacting you in regards to your Foxy Casino account with username "sallydog124".
Thank you for contacting us.
Ian in regards to your query; please be advised that upon your request to have you account disabled you were advised to refrain from opening further accounts with our company.
As such, if you were previously advised to refrain from registering further accounts with our company and you refuse to adhere to the statement, we cannot be held responsible. As a responsible company we were able to detect the accounts which you had recently registered, and made the necessary adjustments to the accounts which caused you not to be able to access these account anymore.
Please understand that we cannot stop you opening accounts on our site, as it is freedom of choice. Our site exists on the Internet and we cannot restrict your access to this medium. The only person who can stop opening accounts on our sites is you.
Therefore, we cannot be held accountable for your actions as we have played our part with restricting your accounts once they have been detected, but also we need your co-operation to contain yourself from not registering anymore accounts with us.
With regards to your request for a refund of your deposit, please note that your deposit was wagered, played with, and subsequently depleted through the course of your gameplay, resulting in a negligible balance. You have received value for your deposit by way of online entertainment and essentially all funds have been exhausted. You might be able to appreciate that we cannot refund money which you have already exhausted/spent through your gameplay.
As such your account has been permanently blocked and no further transaction will be done on the said account. As a gentle remainder you are once again asked to refrain from opening anymore accounts one with gaming site operated by any entity within the 888 Group (specifically including Cassava Enterprises (Gibraltar) Ltd and 888 UK Limited).

The casino had no controls in place and accept no responsibility for not blocking my account. They DID not detect that I was self excluded until I brought it to their attention.
The casino will not reply to my emails.
I am addicted and with an addiction logic goes out of the window and as such I gave them €5000 as I would never have been allowed to withdraw if I had won
Any assistance appreciated, I am at at loss, not just financially and literally at the end of my tether.
Regards
Ian
