Casino Cruise failed to follow responsible gaming and self exclusion

I opened an account yesterday not realising I had self excluded from another sister site of casino cruise. When I realised I contacted casinocruise and explained my situation expecting a refund of my deposits and my account to be closed. I received a very hostile email back saying I wouldn't be getting refunded (although they could see I'd self excluded from a sisiter site) and they didn't even close my account with cruisecasino, how poor!!!
I've also noted via askgamblers the following complaint that was resolved and have mentioned this but was basically told you've had your answer and that's that. I also asked for the full complaints procedure and was told you've contacted support and that it!!!
After I was done and considering contacting Maltese LMA I was researching the casino and came across the information on AskGamblers that this site is part of the Every Matrix group where I have self excluded
I registered with my personal information the same as the other site and used the exact same deposit card to make the deposits, however was still allowed to play and lose on the site.

As you can see with the case reported on Casino Floor (http:­//w­ww.a­sk­gam­ble­rs.c­om­/ca­sin­o-c­omp­lai­nts­/ca­sin­o-f­loo­r-c­onf­isc­ate­d-m­y-w­inn­ing­s-c­4226) they have used being "excluded" on other casinos on the license as a reason not to pay people out but are not following this same policy if people lose, which is a huge double standard.

There is even an email from Every Matrix legal department on that complaint that reads:

"Kindly be advised that our system has detected that you have registered multiple accounts on our network and that you have opted to self-exclude on another account/s.

As per our commitment to endorse responsible gaming, it is our policy that if you have self-excluded on an account on our network, you will also be excluded on all other accounts within the same network for the same self-exclusion period".

As you can see this is specifically against their own policies however they are selecting to use these clauses only when it suits them not to pay out winners. I have contacted Casino Cruise but they are not responding to my emails.

I hope that AskGamblers can assist with this issue before I proceed to the Malta/UK Gambling commissions. In this day and age it's pretty unbelievable that a software provider can't detect excluded persons using the same information and payment accounts on different operators.

Thanks for your help AskGamblers.

Based on the explanations provided by EveryMatrix and Casino Cruise representatives as well as the above screenshots, it is obvious that Casino Cruise and Casino Guts are operating under different licenses. Basically, that means self-exclusion filed with the Guts online gambling website would not be communicated to Casino Cruise, so apparently, there is no way for Casino Cruise to know whether player was under the self-exclusion agreement at Guts. Therefore, we consider this case as closed and resolved in casino Cruise favor. We also remind player that further assistance regarding this case could be requested from MGA and/or UKGC.

Dear Gemma

Thank you for contacting customer support.

As I previously informed you, refund of deposit can take place only in the case of self exclusion due to gambling problem on another platform under the operation of EveryMatrix Ltd. We have been informed by EveryMatrix Ltd that you were self excluded on other platforms

Feel free to contact us at any time for any question that you might have. Our Casino Hosts will be more than glad to assist.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Emma

Quite obviously getting nowhere here

Dear Gemma,

We take the issue of problem gambling very seriously, and act to prevent any self-excluded client from wagering with our casino; such policy is reflected in the fact that if a punter self-excludes himself or herself from any online gambling website that operates under the same regulatory license under which Casino Cruise operates, he or she will also be self-excluded from the Casino Cruise website.

However, in your matter, you self-excluded yourself from the Guts online gambling website, which operates under certain Maltese, UK and Curacao online gambling regulatory licenses which are NOT the online gambling regulatory licenses under which the Casino Cruise online gambling website operates. Therefore, any self-exclusion filed with the Guts online gambling website is NOT communicated to Casino Cruise, nor should it be - as privacy and data protection issues are clearly at hand here. The mere fact that a punter self-excludes herself from a certain online gambling website does not mean that she self-excludes herself from all other online gambling websites in the world, regardless of the regulatory issues at hand. Clearly, if you self-exclude yourself from an online gambling website with a Spanish license, you cannot expect that such self-exclusion will be communicated to an online gambling website with an Italian license. The self-exclusion must be communicated per regulatory license, and where that does not happen, the online gambling website cannot, nor should it be expected to, act in accordance with such self-exclusion request.

Therefore, our decision in this matter stands, and we hope that the above explanation provides you clearer insight into the basis of our decision.

We wish you all the best,

Casino Cruise Support

Thanks for the reply but you're obviously missing the point
1. I was asked to contact yourselves by Lloyd Apter in order to resolve my complaint on askgamblers
2. Just because I mentioned guts yourselves infact identified in previous email correspondence to myself that i had infact self excluded from an everymatrix platform thus i am most certainly entitled to my deposit back.
The fact that you are not listenning and just attempting to fob me off leaves me with no alternative to submit all evidence in these emails tomke a complaint formal to the uk gambling authority and malteses regulators as you quite obviously breached your licensing agreement.
Also can you please put a name to your email as ive noted you have failed to do so in the last 2 emails unlike previous.
Regards
G Gould

Where do I start.....

On the 18th of October, I set up an account with Casino Cruise.

I was not allowed to deposit due to documentation. I kindly sent all my documents, UK driver's license, Bank statement.

Had the confirmation back saying everything was fine on the 19th of Oct.

I then deposited then around £450 pounds and won £800 pounds. The withdrawal was 72 hours to review, which was fine. This then went over the allocated time frame, then I pushed customer service, within minutes I was asked to send a selfie with my driver's license, which I kindly did.

My account then was blocked I could not log in, they then advised I had a self-exclusion ban... I actually had that removed and kindly sent the certification from GamStop.

I still have not received any withdrawal from them, I continue to get the same email.

"Thank you for contacting Casino Cruise Support with your request.

I can see that your withdrawals are in the final stages of processing and you will be notified directly as soon as this has been completed. I apologize for the delay, I know it can be frustrating but rest assured it is being looked into.

Unfortunately, at the moment I do not have any further updates however I have alerted the relevant department to complete this for you as soon as possible.

I apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your ongoing patience.

Thank you once again for contacting us and if you need anything else, do not hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to assist you"

This was a further 6 days ago, I emailed yesterday on the 16th of November still nothing.

I have lost the will to live on this, no casino can justify months of waiting and saying I am a top priority.

Thanks
