Forgotten ID and Password Issue

Da ryan299

A week or more ago I contacted PokerStars to retrieve my old, forgotten ID and password as I had thought at the time my account was registered to a different email address, (and so I was unable to simply request a password reset via the website) and it is prohibited to create another account.

I have received no response since. I later realised that, actually, my current email address is the email registered to my account and so proceeded to send an ID reminder and reset my password to my email. Upon attempting to do so and entering my email, I was met with a message telling me to contact PokerStars directly with the relevant information. I then sent them an email with the information asked for and I still have not received a reply.

Hi,

Once again a completely different story altogether, and once again something I do not recall. Anyhow, after such a lengthy process, I have now signed up to a different poker site with no issues.

Please consider this complaint resolved.

Thank you for your help.

Dear RYAN299,

First of all apologies for the confusion caused in the beginning. Our agents checked your case based on the username used in this forum and that is the reason why you were told about the GDPR issue and the requirement to create a new account. When we then investigated based on the email address you provided in this complaint, we actually found out that you had requested self exclusion. We have asked our responsible gaming team to review your case accordingly and we have seen that you had requested permanent self exclusion. Based on the legislation tied to your account (UK legislation) we are unfortunately unable to re-open your account.

Regards
Pokerstars

As I originally stated, I don't remember my user as it was some time ago -- tried to send a reminder to my email (which you have?) and it told me to contact support. I've explained the rest of the fiasco already, too.

Not being able to access my account

Dear AskGamblers Team,

I am filing this formal complaint against PokerStars with the utmost urgency. I understand a previous submission may have been rejected; however, subsequent events have escalated the situation to a level of deliberate psychological abuse that I believe constitutes a Responsible Gaming emergency and requires your intervention as mediators.

My case is not about a simple payment delay, but about a documented pattern of conduct by the operator designed to inflict maximum stress and emotional harm.

Before narrating the facts, I want to make it clear that I have evidence to support every point I am about to mention. I have the entire chronology fully documented; therefore, this case is not an attempt at defamation.

Detailed Summary of the Pattern of Abuse:

The obstruction process from PokerStars has included multiple acts of bad faith, but I wish to focus on three key events that demonstrate a pattern of manipulation:

First Deception (May 26, 2025): After a month of a frustrating verification process, I received two official emails from PokerStars informing me that my account had been "reinstated." However, upon attempting to withdraw my funds, I discovered the account was still restricted. When I complained, they responded that the account was under a "security review," proving the reinstatement notification was deceptive.

Second Deception (June 8, 2025): The pattern repeated. I received another official email assuring me my account was verified and active. Again, this was false. The account remained blocked.

The Final Low Blow (July 11, 2025): This was the most cruel and calculated act. The sequence of events was as follows:

a. The False Resolution (11:32 AM): I received an email from agent "Saketh" with "very good news," confirming my account was reinstated. This time, I was able to log in, giving me a real sense of relief and resolution.

b. The Cashier Trap: My sole intention was to withdraw my funds and end my relationship with the site. Upon accessing the cashier, all my withdrawal requests were blocked with an "unexpected error" message. Access to my money was still an illusion.

c. The Live Chat Stall: Seeking help, I contacted live chat. An agent deliberately kept me waiting for 30 minutes without providing any solution, increasing my anxiety.

d. The Punitive Closure: At the end of the wait, and without any explanation, my session was terminated. When I tried to log back in, the final message appeared: "Your Stars Account has been closed."

Analysis from a Responsible Gaming Perspective:

PokerStars' actions constitute a total failure in their duty of care and clear psychological abuse:

Deliberate Emotional Manipulation: The pattern of falsely reinstating an account only to block it again is a manipulation tactic that creates a cycle of hope and despair. It is extremely damaging to any player's well-being.

Creation of a Hostile and Unsafe Gaming Environment: A responsible operator must ensure a safe environment. PokerStars has done the opposite, creating an unpredictable, stressful, and punitive experience.

Punishment for Attempting to Withdraw Funds: I was penalized at the exact moment I tried to exercise my right to withdraw my own winnings. This is not only unfair but sends a dangerous message to the entire player community.

Requested Resolution:

I request the mediation of AskGamblers to achieve two objectives:

The immediate release of all funds that PokerStars is wrongfully withholding in my account.

That this pattern of conduct be investigated and formally recorded as a serious Responsible Gaming failure to warn other players of the psychological risk involved in dealing with this operator.

I trust that your platform will recognize the severity of these tactics and the need to protect players from this kind of abuse.

Sincerely,

<full name removed>
