Alf Casino - Ο λογαριασμός του παίκτη θα πρέπει να κλείσει.

Hello,

I would like to make a complaint regarding the activities of AlfCasino.

I have sent an email to AlfCasino customer support on February 7, 2022, requesting the permanent closure of my account due to gambling addiction and blocking access to the site and sister casinos. I am attaching a screenshot of this message.

Despite this, I was recently able to log in to AlfCasino with my bank details and play normally. As a result, I lost €2,000, even though my account should not have been open under any circumstances.

I have now contacted AlfCasino customer service and asked them to look into the matter and provide an explanation as to why the previous blocking request was not valid. I have also asked them to assess the refund as this is a clear breach of responsible gaming.

I ask you to look into the matter and help resolve it. I will let you know as soon as I receive a response from the casino.

Hei,

haluan tehdä valituksen koskien AlfCasinon toimintaa.

Olen lähettänyt sähköpostin AlfCasinon asiakastukeen 7.2.2022, jossa pyydän tilini pysyvää sulkemista peliriippuvuuden vuoksi sekä pääsyn estämistä sivustolle ja sisarkasinoihin. Liitän teille kuvakaappauksen tästä viestistä.

Tästä huolimatta pystyin äskettäin kirjautumaan AlfCasinolle pankkitunnuksilla ja pelaamaan normaalisti. Tämän seurauksena hävisin 2000 €, vaikka tilini ei olisi saanut olla avattavissa missään olosuhteissa.

Olen nyt ollut yhteydessä AlfCasinon asiakaspalveluun ja pyytänyt heitä käsittelemään asian sekä antamaan selvityksen siitä, miksi aiempi sulkupyyntö ei ollut voimassa. Olen myös pyytänyt heitä arvioimaan hyvitystä, koska kyseessä on selkeä vastuullisen pelaamisen laiminlyönti.

Pyydän teitä tutkimaan tapauksen ja auttamaan asian selvittämisessä. Ilmoitan teille heti, kun saan kasinolta vastauksen.

Hei,

I got a message from them 7th April that they have now closed my account. "And regarding your refund request we have forwarded the details to the relevant department, so that they look into this further. As soon as there is an update, you will be notified immediately by email."

I still have saved emails from AlfCasino’s VIP manager from 2021, sent shortly before I requested a permanent self‑exclusion due to gambling addiction. These messages clearly show that I was an active customer at that time and that my identity and account were fully verified before I asked for the permanent closure.

In addition, I was able to log in now using the same credentials that I have had saved since 3 June 2021. I also have screenshots showing:

the VIP manager’s email from 2021

the saved login credentials from 3.6.2021

and the fact that I was able to access the account today despite the permanent exclusion request made in 2021

Because of this, I was able to play and lose €2000 (this happened 6th April), even though the permanent self‑exclusion should have prevented any access to my account.

I can send you the screenshots if you want.

I would also like to point out that I now logged in using the same credentials that have been saved since 3 June 2021. I have evidence (attached) showing that these exact login details were used, which confirms that I accessed the same account that existed before my self-exclusion request. My personal identity number serves as my username, and it is unique.

Thank you for your reply and for providing the previous details, gamblingproblem92.

• Have you kept any records of your correspondence with AlfCasino regarding your account closure request and any recent gameplay?
• Could you please provide your game and transaction history since your account was reopened, if possible?

Thank you again for your cooperation.

Now they actually offered €1000 in compensation / €2000 for losses. I accepted this offer in fear that I wouldn't get a single euro back. However, I would like to get a full refund.

Nyt he tosiaan tarjosivat 1000€ korvausta / 2000€ tappioista. Hyväksyin tämän tarjouksen siinä pelossa, etten saisi muuten enää euroakaan takaisin. Toivoisin kuitenkin saavani hyvityksen kokonaisuudessaan.

Hello,

I wanted to provide an update regarding my case.

Alf Casino has now paid me a €1000 refund, which I accepted as I was afraid they wouldn't refund anything otherwise. However, this amount only covers half of my total losses and I strongly believe that I am entitled to the remaining €1000 back as well.

It is important to note that by paying this partial refund, the casino has effectively admitted their mistake: they allowed me to play despite my previous self-exclusion and documented gambling addiction. This is the same issue I initially complained about, and the partial refund clearly shows that they recognize their responsibility.

I am still asking for your help so that I can get the remaining €1000 back. The casino has already proven itself responsible by paying half, which I believe strengthens the case for a full refund.

Thanks again for your help so far. I really appreciate it.

Hei,

Halusin antaa päivityksen tapaukseeni liittyen.

Alf Casino on nyt maksanut minulle 1000 € hyvityksen, jonka hyväksyin, koska pelkäsin, etteivät he muuten maksaisi mitään takaisin. Tämä summa kattaa kuitenkin vain puolet kokonais­tappioistani, ja uskon vahvasti, että minulla on oikeus saada takaisin myös loput 1000 €.

On tärkeää huomata, että maksamalla tämän osittaisen hyvityksen kasino on käytännössä myöntänyt virheensä: he sallivat minun pelata, vaikka minulla oli aiempi itsesulku ja dokumentoitu peliriippuvuus. Tämä on sama ongelma, jonka vuoksi tein alun perin valituksen, ja osittainen hyvitys osoittaa selvästi, että he tunnistavat vastuunsa.

Pyydänkin teiltä edelleen apua, jotta voisin saada takaisin myös loput 1000 €. Kasino on jo osoittanut olevansa vastuussa maksamalla puolet, mikä mielestäni vahvistaa perustetta täysimääräiselle korvaukselle.

Kiitos vielä avustanne tähän asti. Arvostan sitä todella.
