Ignored Self Exclusion During Recent Ddos Attacks Led to loss of funds
On 5/19/22 I won a progressive slot jackpot on Slots.lv, on the slot "10 Times Vegas", for approximately $200,000 USD. Over the next day, I kept gambling and worked my balance up to $220,000. I recognized that I was gambling compulsively, and in order to protect my winnings, I tried to contact Slots.LV multiple times, for hours, via live chat. Per their self exclusion guidelines, they did not outline any specific medium with which to self exclude so I thought chat would be the most timely. I was never able to get through, I believe this is because customer service agents were busy dealing with fallout of the DDOS attacks occurring at the same time.
I then sent an email to Slots.LV later on 5/20/22, requesting my account be temporarily disabled until all my winnings were withdrawn, which the Dispute Resolution Office claims was never received, and then accused me of faking.
Over the next week, my account balance was drained. I am requesting that Slots.LV restore my balance to $200,000 USD, due to not honoring my self exclusion request. Even if the email was never received, it was impossible to get ahold of any customer service rep via chat to request this exclusion. Self exclusion should be simple, accessible, and should not be effected by other happenings at the casino.
