K?ra Martin och Kelly1234,
Tack f?r uppdateringen och f?r m?jligheten att ytterligare f?rtydliga v?r st?ndpunkt.
F?rst och fr?mst bekr?ftar vi att spelaren beg?rde att kontot skulle st?ngas den 18 mars och att kontot f?rblev ?ppet till den 4 april. Vi accepterar helt att denna f?rsening inte borde ha intr?ffat och har redan ?tg?rdat detta internt f?r att s?kerst?lla att beg?randen om st?ngning hanteras utan on?diga dr?jsm?l i framtiden.
Det ?r dock viktigt att f?rst? att medan en beg?ran om st?ngning v?ntar, beh?ller spelaren full ?tkomst till kontot tills st?ngningen ?r slutf?rd. Spelaren fortsatte att logga in frivilligt, s?tta in pengar frivilligt och spela spel frivilligt under denna period.
Enligt UKGC:s regler och standardpraxis i branschen f?rblir en spelare ansvarig f?r sin egen spelaktivitet tills kontot faktiskt st?ngs. Detta ?verensst?mmer med UK Gambling Commissions st?ndpunkt om spelaransvar: en beg?ran om sj?lvavst?ngning eller st?ngning m?ste behandlas, men fram till dess f?rblir kontot aktivt enligt spelarens eget val.
Att ?terbetala ins?ttningar som aktivt satsats och frivilligt f?rlorats skulle utg?ra en retroaktiv ?terf?ring av r?ttvist spelande, vilket inte ?r till?tet enligt v?ra licensskyldigheter, AML-regler eller ansvarsfullt spelande. Att g?ra det skulle i sj?lva verket inneb?ra att man underl?ttar ett chargeback-liknande bedr?geri, vilket vi ?r skyldiga att f?rsvara oss mot.
F?r att vara tydlig:
Spelaren gjorde flera ins?ttningar efter beg?ran.
Spelaren spelade aktivt med dessa pengar.
Pengarna satsades i sin helhet och f?rlorades i god tro.
Inga ins?ttningar f?rblir oanv?nda eller or?rda.
Spelaren avst?ngde sig inte sj?lv genom det nationella systemet med flera operat?rer (t.ex. GAMSTOP).
Alla f?rs?k till ?terkrav eller krav p? att ?terkr?va dessa f?rluster betraktas som v?nligt bedr?geri, och vi kommer att f?rsvara oss kraftfullt med fullst?ndiga bevis om det beh?vs.
Vi ber ?terigen om urs?kt f?r f?rseningen i handl?ggningen men m?ste vidh?lla st?ndpunkten att ins?ttningar gjorda och spelade frivilligt under den tiden inte kan ?terbetalas retroaktivt.
Tack f?r din f?rst?else.

Dear Martin and Kelly1234,
Thank you for the update and for the opportunity to clarify our position further.
First and foremost, we acknowledge that the player requested account closure on 18th March and the account remained open until 4th April. We fully accept that this delay should not have happened and have already addressed this internally to ensure closure requests are actioned without unnecessary delay in future.
However, it is crucial to understand that while a closure request is pending, the player retains full access to the account until the closure is completed. The player continued to log in voluntarily, deposit funds voluntarily, and play games voluntarily during this period.
Under UKGC rules and standard industry practice, a player remains responsible for their own gambling activity until the account is actually closed. This is consistent with the UK Gambling Commission’s position on player responsibility: a self-exclusion or closure request must be actioned, but until that point, the account remains active by the player’s own choice.
Refunding deposits that were actively wagered and lost voluntarily would constitute a retrospective reversal of fair gameplay which is not permitted under our licence obligations, AML rules, or responsible gambling practice. Doing so would in fact amount to facilitating a chargeback-style fraud, which we are obliged to defend.
To be clear:
The player made multiple deposits after the request.
The player actively played with those funds.
The funds were fully wagered and lost in good faith gameplay.
No deposits remain unused or untouched.
The player did not self-exclude through the national multi-operator scheme (e.g., GAMSTOP).
Any chargeback attempt or claim to recover these losses is considered friendly fraud, we will defend this robustly with full evidence if necessary.
We apologise again for the processing delay but must uphold the position that deposits made and gambled voluntarily during that time cannot be retrospectively refunded.
Thank you for your understanding.
