Happy Hugo Casino - Der Versuch des Spielers, sich selbst aus dem Casino auszuschließen, wurde übersehen.

I contacted support via live chat and wanted to close my account and pointed out gambling addiction and that I have a problem playing. I was supposed to write an email, which I did, but the account is open until today and I deposited €270 again in the meantime, although I wanted to close it because of the gambling addiction. Would have liked my lost money refunded.

Ich habe mich um Live-Chat an den Support gewandt, und wollte mein Konto schließen und habe auf spielsucht hingewiesen und das ich ein Problem mit dem spielen habe. Ich sollte eine Email schreiben was ich auch tat, aber das Konto ist bis heute geöffnet habe in der Zeit wieder 270€ eingezahlt obwohl ich es schließen wollte wegen der spielsucht. Hätte gerne mein verlorenes Geld zurück erstattet.

Dear Heiko004,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Before we’ll contact the casino and ask for their standpoint, could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you have sent a request for self-exclusion? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru. Did you specify in that request for how long you wish your account to be suspended and the reason why?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Dear Heiko004,

Could you please advise if you have tried contacting the live chat after sending the above-mentioned email and when exactly was the money deposited into your casino account? Looking forward to hearing from you.

I received the money on 06/30/2022 at 14:23 Money was not credited although it was debited from my account. I will send you an email with the screenshots

Ich habe das Geld am 30.06.2022 um 14:23 Geld wurde nicht gutgeschrieben obwohl es von meinem Konto abgebucht wurde. Ich sende Ihnen eine Email mit den Screenshots

Dear Heiko004,

I would like to know if you wish to have your account blocked or if you prefer to keep it open. As we can see from your previous email, you requested your account to be self-excluded due to a gambling problem on the 21st of June, is that correct?

Hello of course I want to block it because when it is open I keep depositing. But I don't want it and I want my money back for the losses. I shouldn't have been able to play or log in since June 22nd, 2022 because I reported by email about my gambling addiction by email and in the live chat!

Guten Tag natürlich möchte ich es sperren, da wenn es geöffnet ist ich immer weiter einzahle. Ich möchte es aber nicht und fordere auch mein Geld für die Verluste zurück. Ich hätte seit dem 22.06.2022 nicht mehr spielen bzw mich einloggen dürfen da ich per Email über meine spielsucht per Email und im Live-Chat berichtete!

Could you please advise if you have tried contacting the live chat after sending the above-mentioned email (dated 21st of June) and when exactly was the money deposited into your casino account? 

I wrote to myself several times in the chat, each time I was asked to request it by email, which I did. A week ago I received an email back asking for my name, address, etc. to close the account. I did but account is still open. I deposited the €20 on June 30, 2022 at 2:23 p.m

Ich habe mich mehrfach im Chat geschrieben jedesmal würde ich aufgefordert das per Email anzufordern was ich auch getan habe. Vor einer Woche habe ich eine Email zurück erhalten wo ich Name Adresse usw angeben sollte um das Konto zu schließen. Habe ich getan aber Konto ist weiterhin geöffnet. Die 20€ habe ich am 30.06.2022 um 14:23 eingezahlt

Hello Heiko, 

Thank you for your email regarding your deposit. 

As you probably already know, unfortunately we encountered an issue regarding deposits on 30.06. Maintenance has resolved this issue, but unfortunately deposits made during this period take a little longer to either be credited to your player account or returned to you.

Your money is blocked between you and our casino, thus it is the intermediary platform that handles it, not our casino. They are trying their best to solve it as fast as possible.

Thank you very much for you patience and comprehension.  

Please do not hesitate to contact us via email 24/7 or via live chat between 10h00 CET and 23h00 CET for any further assistance.

Warm Regards,

Chiara,

Happy Hugo Casino 

Thank you very much, Heiko004, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter (peter.m@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.  

Hi Heiko004,

I have looked at your case and understand the situation. I will contact the casino and see if I can help. I would like to invite Happy Hugo Casino to the conversation to participate in the resolution of this complaint.

I still haven't gotten my 20€ back!

Meine 20€ habe ich bis heute nicht zurück bekommen!

We would like to ask the Casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’.

Hi Heiko004,

I tried to get in touch with the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid, there is not much that can be done without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you to contact the Curacao Gaming Authority (certria@gaminglicences.com) and submit a complaint to them. It's not the best licensing authority out there but it has more options and tools to help players. Let me know how they responded (peter.m@casino.guru). I wish I could be of more help.

Best regards

Peter
