Bitcasino.io - Account closed unjustly
I registered for the first time on bitcasino on 30 april 2020 and started playing after making a first deposit by bitcoin.
I had never had another account on that website, it is my first and only account.
I then made multiple other deposits and played for hours with a lot of money.
I had read the terms and conditions of the website and played on it strictly respecting it's rules. I didn't do any fraudulent activity.
On 13 May 2020, I tried to log on my account and it was written "Your account is disabled - Please contact client service"
So did I, I received a quick answer telling me that "due to being linked to another account which is currently under a self-exclusion, your account has been added to your original self exclusion"
As I never asked for any self-exclusion whatsoever and never had another account or linked, I didn't understand what was the matter. I was reassured, my account was not disabled for fraudulent reason or anything, It was a mistake and I just had to tell the support about that to get my account unlocked.
I went to the terms and conditions to learn about it and saw
"Self-exclusion requests must be made by email from the account’s registered email address to our customer support department at compliance@bitcasino.io."
" To proceed with this process, we will require an email response. If we do not receive a response within a further 24-hrs, your account will be reopened and confirmed by email."
" If after reviewing our self-exclusion options you decide you would like to proceed with a permanent self-exclusion, please, inform us of this in your response."
I never did any of that so this must have been a mistake. Terms and conditions are clearly saying that requests must be made from my registered email and that I would receive an email to confirm the exclusion . No email was ever sent by me and I didn't receive any email about that from Bitcasino.
I contacted the CS again telling them that this was a mistake, providing them with my name and everything so they can check that I only have one account on the website.
They redirected me to their security service, I explained the issue again and the security service ignored me for days.
After 5 days of being ignored at security service, I replied to the original client service mail telling them that security service isn't answering, I got completely ignored as well on this email.
I opened another ticket by email telling them that I never asked for any suspension and never linked my account to another one (I still don't even know what it means). I asked for more information about this exclusion and they answered me with the exact same answer as first time, telling me that my account is self-excluded. I already knew that but they didn't give more information. I replied again asking for informations and got ignored.
I contacted them again multiple times, explaining clearly that I never asked for self-exclusion and never linked my account but they always either completely ignored my request or answered with the copy paste answer not providing any information, only telling me that I am self excluded.
They added things such as "under a self-exclusion, at your request, we can confirm that your new account has been added to your original self-exclusion."
"We hope that you find this time away beneficial. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require any more information."
I have never asked for any self-exclusion, there is no "original self-exclusion" this is my first and only account on the website, but bitcasino blatantly refuses to review my case and always answers me with a copy-paste.
I have played a lot of money on this website and climbed quite high on the fidelity program. I respected the terms and conditions. My account got "self-excluded" without any warning and without any action on my part.
I am willing to send any necessary proof of identity to Bitcasino so they can see that I have only one account but I have been contacting CS for two weeks now, they are refusing to review my case and ignore my request.
