If you feel they are not being cooperative, you don't yet need a lawyer, you need a tenner and to submit a formal SAR. This will require them to disclose all the information they hold, which will include ALL the chat logs, internal notes placed on your account, and more.

Your lawyer is likely to do this, but is also likely to charge far more than a tenner for it.

Not a chance. Besides you said earlier that you had asked them to close your account. Now you suddenly claim you had begged them to self exclude you. I know from earlier that if that was true they would have done it, but then also asked you to fill in the form.
I guess the rest of what I said wasn't important in your eyes, but actuall that other part was what was important ;)

No... on live chat I asked them to self exclude

They told me to email

My email in distress said the same thing made them aware of my addiction but I used the words "close the account forever" in a frantic panic.
 
For a number of reasons. But mostly because I don't trust this guy.

Fine, but if he is telling the truth you are being excessively out of line with the condescending tone. I don´t trust a number of casinos I play at, doesn´t mean I talk that way to them or their staff...

Lets keep it civil

Thank you please can you help me to file this request, I have no idea on what I need to do here, if speaking to a lawyer isn't the best option and this is what I need to do to move forward, how do I do this exactly?

I know from experience in my business litigation, that companies who are "not in the wrong" do not offer settlement offers, it's the first sign of legal weakness.

The thing is that they are well aware of the rules they have to follow. They have now gone through it all but are only offering him that small sum.
It mean that they are sure of being in the right.
I know them, and I know how an addicts mind are working.
I'm civil even though I'm not siding with the gambler here. I do hope he manage to quit one day though.
 
....

I have launched a complaint with the gambling commission but I wanted to get some advice on where I stand legally with this. As 32Red have an email directly from me outlining the fact i have a severe gambling addiction that I cannot control, and the fact I asked them to self exclude me on live chat but they didn't do I have any grounds on this under player protection? It's clear unfortunately that they were well aware of this and have since taken a further 25,000 from me.

Any advice would be hugely appreciated?

Then this is where this should lie. There is way too much speculation going on here, and if indeed this has gone to the UKGC - then I would highly recommend to seek proper legal counsel and refrain from publishing all of this on a public discussion board.

I'm going to do you a favor and close this thread. When the UKGC comes back with their ruling, and you've spoken to a lawyer (hopefully who specializes in online gaming law), then by all means let me know and I'll reopen this thread, or start another. Thanks! :thumbsup:

Edited to add: if you guys want to start a new thread about the dilemmas of problem gambling and online casinos, by all means please do. I don't want to squelch any needed dialogue. I just don't think the details of this issue should be going to the courts of of Casinomeister's forum.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
