The player from the UK had requested Freshbet to block the deposit function, but they had failed to respond quickly, which resulted in £1850 in additional deposits. The player had also discovered that their license appeared expired on CEG's website, despite still accepting UK players. The player had claimed to have mentioned her gambling problem to the casino before depositing, but failed to provide proof of such communication. Therefore, we had been unable to confront the casino about their supposed obligation to protect the player and request a refund on her behalf. The complaint was ultimately rejected due to the player's lack of response to our inquiries.
英国のプレーヤーはフレッシュベットに入金機能をブロックするよう要求していましたが、迅速な対応ができず、結果的に 1850 ポンドの追加入金が発生しました。また、このプレーヤーは、まだ英国のプレーヤーを受け入れているにもかかわらず、CEG の Web サイトで自分のライセンスが期限切れになっているように見えることにも気づきました。プレイヤーは入金前にカジノにギャンブルの問題について話したと主張していましたが、そのようなコミュニケーションの証拠を提出しませんでした。したがって、私たちは、プレーヤーを保護し、彼女に代わって返金を要求するというカジノの義務について、カジノと対決することができませんでした。この申し立ては、プレイヤーが私たちの問い合わせに応じなかったため、最終的に却下されました。
さらに、この問題について調査を行ったところ、CEG の Web サイトにライセンスが期限切れと表示されており、英国のプレーヤーが有効なライセンスなしで Web サイトを使用することを許可すべきではないこともわかりました。
On 30th December I reached Freshbet asking them to block my deposit function because I have a gambling problem behaviour and I don’t want to deposit anymore, despite their claim for having support 24/7 they have failed to do this and they actioned a couple of days later after exchanging multiple emails. Their website clearly states that they recognise gambling issues and they have support for this 24/7 to help players behave and act responsabile, yet they have failed me and they haven’t implemented this which lead to £1850 deposits since I asked them.
Moreover upon conducting some research on this matter I have also discovered their license shows as expired on CEG website and they shouldn’t allowed UK players to use their website without a valid license.
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Freshbet Casino.
I checked your exchange with the casino and I can't see you mentioning a gambling problem to the casino. I also checked the casino website and it seems the casino has an expired license.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation.
Have you mentioned your gambling problem to the casino anytime in the past, before requesting a deposit block in the casino on the 30th of December?
When have you made the deposits to the casino, following your request?
Could you please advise whether your account in the casino is currently open?
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Thank you for reaching back, my account with them was new at that time I opened an account around 20th December and was misleading as when I opened an account their website was showing as licensed but after being in this situation and doing some research I found out that I can check the license on CEG website and that’s when I found out that actually they were unlicensed and they shouldn’t have accepted deposits from UK players as a matter of fact.
Have you mentioned your gambling problem to the casino anytime in the past, before requesting a deposit block in the casino on the 30th of December? As my account was opened around 20th December, I mentioned them on 29th and 30th December about my gambling issues and asked them to tune off my deposits ability so I can not deposit anymore and my deposits of £1850 were made after I requested from them to block my deposits and informed them also via their contact form from website of my gambling behaviour issues not only via email, they state that they have 24/7 support especially for this kind of situations and yet they’ve failed to implement this measure for me.
When have you made the deposits to the casino, following your request? Between 30th & 1st January. My initial request was made on December 28th when I first asked them to block my deposits, then again on 30th at 11:21, and the action to block my deposit was only taken on January 2nd at 00:27, they have been advised I can not control myself and I cannot action this myself from the account as they do not give this option to players. This delay in implementing the necessary restrictions has resulted in significant financial implications, totalling £1850.
Could you please advise whether your account in the casino is currently open? No, they closed my account on 2nd January
Please keep in mind casinos might take longer to close your account even if you mention the gambling problem to them.
If you happen to have a conversation where you mentioned a gambling problem before depositing saved, please share it with me, as I was unable to find it in the screenshots you submitted. Without it, we can't confront the casino and conclude how they were supposed to protect you and ask refund on your behalf.
Post the relevant screenshot here or send it to my email at tomas@casino.guru
