Account restricted with no explanation

I deposited 500€ on August 19th, played for a couple of days, and was able to raise the balance up to 750€. At that point, I decided to withdraw my winnings, though when I was trying to create a withdrawal request, I got an error message saying that my account was restricted.

I've tried to contact the support service, but they gave no explanation of the restriction and have suggested I pass verification, though when I'm accessing the verification page, it says that verification is not required for me and thus doesn't provide me an option to pass it. I've made a few more attempts to contact support via email, but those were just ignored.

Games are still available to me, and I went down to 700€ since the withdrawal attempt, but I would still like to withdraw what I currently have on my balance.

At this moment one of withdrawal requests was processed, though 500€ are still pending for withdrawal. Previously the request for 500€ was cancelled supposedly due to some technical error. I've created a new one instead.

Complaint not answered
I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding Wazamba’s handling of my request for permanent self-exclusion due to gambling addiction and the subsequent losses incurred after I had clearly disclosed my gambling problem.
On 6 May 2026 at 08:56 EEST, I explicitly informed Wazamba that I wished to “self exclude on a permanent basis due to a gambling addiction.” Despite this clear disclosure, my account remained active and I was able to continue gambling, resulting in losses after my request had been made.
Under Irish gambling legislation and responsible gambling obligations applicable to licensed operators, once a player discloses a gambling addiction or requests self-exclusion, operators are required to take immediate protective action. These obligations include:
Facilitating immediate self-exclusion.
Closing or restricting the account where requested.
Preventing further gambling activity.
Ceasing marketing and inducements.
Acting where there are reasonable grounds to believe a customer is experiencing gambling-related harm.
Instead of immediately enforcing the exclusion request, I was encouraged to consider temporary cooling-off periods and was asked to reconfirm my decision, while my account remained operational. During this period, I continued to gamble and suffer significant financial losses.
I do not believe Wazamba fulfilled its duty of care or its responsible gambling obligations in my case. My original request was clear, unambiguous, and specifically referenced gambling addiction. The failure to act immediately directly contributed to further losses.
As a result, I formally request:
A full refund of all deposits and losses incurred after my initial self-exclusion request on 6 May 2026.
Written confirmation that my account has been permanently closed and excluded.
Confirmation that my personal details have been removed from all marketing communications.
A copy of Wazamba’s responsible gambling escalation procedures and complaint handling policy.
Wazamba have not answered my complaint sent on the 14th of May 2026.
