The player from Germany requests a lifetime ban on his account and a refund of €100 after losing money despite asking the casino to block his account. He also faces issues with the live chat feature, which has been inaccessible for three days.
Good evening dear Casino Guru team!
I hereby file a complaint with the aforementioned casino. I contacted them via email, requesting immediate banning, but they didn't, and I lost my money again. I insist on getting the €100 back. I also want a lifetime ban on my email address, name, and phone number, if necessary. I depend on the money, and it was a stupid mistake. In Germany, I'm banned via OASIS self-exclusion, but that doesn't matter here, I suppose.
I also tried contacting the live chat, which states "Available anytime" in bold, but I haven't had a single chance to communicate directly with anyone via live chat in the last three days because I can't open it. I would really appreciate a response and hope you can help me. I've attached my email and the transactions since I sent the email below. In my opinion, it's unacceptable to keep people waiting... when even the subject of the email is: My account is blocked.
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Levin Laubhan
Dear levinsge14,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Kingmaker Casino.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.
I would recommend that you send yet another request, but this time, include me in the copy of your email.
When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the period. Additionally, the email subject should be marked and easily recognizable, as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly, you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible.
Example:
Email subject: Self-exclusion due to gambling problem
Player’s info:
First name:
Last name:
Date of birth:
Casino login:
Email address:
"Greetings Kingmaker Casino Support,
I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be immediately excluded from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material permanently.
The reason for my decision is that I am suffering from gambling problems.
I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."
Please send another email to casino email [email protected] (you can include me in the copy at [email protected]) and keep me informed about any further developments.
In the meantime, check other resources and information in our responsible gambling guide found here: http://www.kpvfaw.com/responsible-gambling-guide
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Katarina
Dear Katarina,
Thank you for your prompt response. I greatly appreciate your support in this matter.
I would like to inform you that I was able to make a deposit of €100 last night in four separate transactions—approximately 24 hours after I requested immediate account closure via email. I understand your suggestion that an immediate closure may not be immediate. However, the subject line of my email was clearly worded "Account Closure," which I believe leaves no room for misunderstanding.
At the beginning of the year, I had already been banned from Jackpot Frenzy Casino, which, like Kingmaker Casino, is operated by Rabidi NV and has the same license number 8048/JAZ. Despite this ban, I was able to register and play again at Kingmaker Casino using the same personal details, email address, and device. This should not have been possible due to the existing ban.
In total, I deposited €450 (Kingmaker Casino) and lost, even though I shouldn't have been allowed to play due to my previous ban and known gambling addiction. I therefore believe I have a legitimate claim to a refund of this amount.
I therefore ask you to:
Refund of the €450 lost due to inadmissible participation in the game despite an existing ban.
Permanently block my account and all accounts at casinos operated by Rabidi NV to prevent future gaming participation.
Thank you in advance for considering my request and for your support.
I will now send you the email.
Best regards

Dear levinsge14,
Thank you for your message and for the email. I apologize for the delayed response. I was on sick leave and unable to reply.
However, according to the email you have sent me, you requested the self exclusion on the May 26th. Is there any other self exclusion request that was sent prior to this one, please? If so, could you please send it to my email [email protected]?
Looking forward to your reply,
Katarina
Hello Katarina,
I forwarded the email to you on May 26th, but sent it to Kingmaker Support on May 25th at 1:56 AM. I didn't request a ban directly from this casino (before this email), as I said, only from a casino owned by the same person. I'm now banned, just like at the other casino.
I will forward you another email that was sent on time.
Best regards
I wish you a speedy recovery!
Dear levinsge14,
thank you for your message and for your email.
Due to the timing of your self-exclusion request on a Saturday night, and considering potential staffing levels on Sunday, it is possible that your account remained open for a short period. As self-exclusion requests are processed manually, please allow a few days for complete processing. While we understand this is not the optimal experience, online casinos often receive numerous such requests daily, making a few days' processing time reasonable.
Has your account been closed in the meantime, please?
Looking forward to your reply,
Katarina
Hello Katarina,
Yes, my account has now been closed.
I understand your reasoning, but it doesn't change the fact that I was able to continue depositing money despite the request to block my account. In this respect, I met all the requirements to get my money back. (Normally, I should even get the €450, since I was already blocked at a sister casino.)
I read the other complaints and saw that other players with the same conditions received their money back.
I ask for your help.
Thank you
Kind regards
Levin
Dear levinsge14,

Have you received an account closure notification or email, please? Could you please share it either here in the thread or to my email [email protected]?
Looking forward to your reply,

Dear levinsge14,
thank you for your message and email.
However I believe I have not received the proper email from you. I have requested an email confirming the closure of your account. Have you received this one, please?
Looking forward to your reply.
Katarina
Hello Katarina,
I just sent them the email, that's the only thing I received.
Thank you
Best regards

Dear levinsge14,
thank you for your message and email.
Could you also share your deposit history, please?
Kindly forward it to my email [email protected].
Looking forward to your reply,
Katarina
Hello Katarina,
Unfortunately, I no longer have access to the account because they blocked me, but I have requested a deposit history from me via email. As soon as I receive it, I will send it to you immediately.
After my account was blocked, it was €100. I took screenshots of the €100 deposits, which I will now send you via email.
Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot of the remaining €350 I lost (minus the payouts), but as soon as I receive it I will send it immediately.
Kind regards, Levin
