WinSpirit Casino - プレイヤーはアカウント違反後に払い戻しを要求します。

Good day,

Despite a reported self-exclusion due to gambling problems, WinSpirit Casino allowed registration with the identical personal data, resulting in losses of 600 euros.

The casino refers to its terms and conditions (Section 9): "(..) by accepting them, you have confirmed that you are aware that gambling can lead to financial losses, and the casino cannot be held liable for such damages".

For me, the inclusion of this clause in the terms and conditions is not compliant with the law. The licensing authority clearly requires the casino to implement measures related to Responsible Gaming and player protection. This means that self-excluded players must be strictly excluded from participation. This is a requirement for obtaining the license.

The casino has clearly violated this.

Gambling addiction is a serious illness that can be triggered by a relapse. Therefore, the measures for player protection are so important and absolutely necessary.

In my opinion, the casino is even acting deliberately. The casino is trying to absolve itself of all player protection measures with Section 9 in the terms and conditions and place all the responsibility on the player. But this is not acceptable, as the operator was 100% aware of the gambling addiction.

Simple technical measures could have prevented further activity.

Due to these violations, I urgently demand that the casino refunds the 600 euros loss.

All previous email conversations are attached (1. Self-exclusion from January 2024, 2. Violation of the self-exclusion in September 2024). Please do not publish this for privacy reasons. Here you can also see the proof that I was already excluded in the past due to gambling problems.

If you have any questions, I am available at any time.

Guten Tag,

das Casino WinSpirit hat trotz einer gemeldeten Spielsperre wegen Spielproblemen eine Anmeldung mit den identischen persönlichen Daten zugelassen, wodurch es zu Verlusten in Höhe von 600 Euro kam.

Das Casino verweist auf die Geschäftsbedingungen (Abschnitt 9): "(..) haben Sie mit deren Annahme bestätigt, dass Sie sich der Tatsache bewusst sind, dass Glücksspiel zu finanziellen Verlusten führen kann, und das Casino für solche Schäden nicht haftbar gemacht werden kann".

Für mich ist diese Verankerung dieses Satzes in den Geschäftsbedingungen nicht rechtskonform. Das Casino wird von der Lizenzbehörde ganz eindeutig dazu gezwungen Maßnahmen in Zusammenhang mit dem Responsible Gaming und Spielerschutz durchzuführen. Das bedeutet, dass gesperrte Spieler zwingend von der Teilnahme ausgeschlossen werden müssen. Dies ist eine Bedingung, um die Lizenz zu bekommen.

Dagegen hat das Casino ganz eindeutig verstoßen.

Spielsucht ist eine schwere Krankheit, welche durch einen Schub ausgelöst werden kann. Deshalb sind die Maßnahmen zum Spielerschutz auch so wichtig und zwingend erforderlich.

Das Casino handelt in meinen Augen sogar vorsätzlich. Das Casino versucht sich mit dem Abschnitt 9 in den Geschäftsbedingungen von allen Spielerschutzmaßnahmen frei zu machen und die Verantwortung komplett dem Spieler zu geben. Das ist aber nicht akzeptable, da der Anbieter zu 100% von der Spielsucht wusste.

Einfache technische Maßnahmen hätten weitere Aktivitäten verhindert.

Aufgrund der Verstoße fordere ich das Casino dringend dazu auf, die 600 Euro Verlust zurückzuerstatten.

Alle bisherigen Mail-Verläufe sind angehängt (1. Sperre aus Januar 2024, 2. Missachtung der Spielsperre im September 2024). Bitte aus Datenschutzgründen nicht veröffentlichen. Hier können Sie auch den Beweis sehen, dass ich bereits wegen Spielproblemen in der Vergangenheit gesperrt wurde.

Bei Fragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.
