Gamstop and the popular online casino

Why do you always take the casino side? I've never seen you question why a casino allows a player to sign up again when self excluded . There are clearly flaws in leovegas and rp sign up checks considering how many threads there are about them .

We are not sure if this is Leo or RP. However, its very odd that the customer even manage to bypass the Gamstop check.

Definite proven flaws.

Anyway, the UKGC announcement on verification should end the argument. They have done something useful for once.

I don't always do that. Just when I clearly see that the player know what he is doing and still do it.
I want to believe in people's free will, don't you? They can't keep using being a gambling addict as an excuse because then they will never stop.

As of May in the UK it is finished!
 
I'm an impulsive gambler who never spent more than I should have. I don't think about gambling every day. I have a good job and live well. My bills are always paid on time and I am never short of money or borrowing.
I bet on sports every single saturday and Sunday. All controlled and purely for fun. I spend around 20 quid a weekend on it.
When I have spare time and a bit of money about, that's when I think about slotting.

The main reason I joined gamstop was because I couldn't stand to see the deposits on my bank statement. I would tend to have a session that would result in multiple deposits and I would be full of regret the next day after seeing them all.

I don't recall a single time you haven't defended the casino on a matter like this.
Simple fact is, the casino has a legal obligation to prevent a self excluded player playing. LeoVegas haven't. They are in the wrong. If the OP has changed more than name/address/DOB/email address then they possibly have a defence to it. Otherwise, no matter what the player intentions are, they are in the wrong.
 
I only changed the email address I signed up with. I didn't purposely make the email address to sign up with either, it's an old email address that a barely use.

I can't open a pab unfortunately but I am being 100% honest here. They're saying I have changed my d.o.b and home address. That's incorrect. I have requested they send me the details I signed up with. Data protection law says they must provide it me within a month. I'm fully expecting them to ignore the request, I don't have much faith to be honest.

Are you in the UK?

That is the difference between our way of seeing things. I don't care much about what the ukgc say is legal binding. I look at it from what the player have done with the purpose of getting a win win situation.
I also look at it from what I think is the best for the person with an addiction, and that is to take responsibility for his own actions. It will always be sites where he can gamble no matter what rules the ukgc have.

If you want to keep on questioning me then fine do it, or you can just accept our different views on things, and the fact that we both have the right to have our opinions.
In this case we as usual just have the players view on things, and we don't even know what casino it is about.

If it's an accredited casino as you said then I'm sure you can go along and make a PAB. Just read the rules first.

Win win for the player? It rarely is that. The majority of the time it's win win for the casino. They know players will sign up, have a lax SE policy, then complain. They put a clause in saying they can nullify the bets and keep the money. If the player wins money they do not have to pay it. It's completely geared towards the casino.

However, I have someone looking into the terms that casinos put down on SE and not paying money back. The UKGC say that the terms are not entirely enforceable if the casino did not do due diligence as per their LCCP.
 
Ok you have a few options.

Request a SAR from them as you stated.
Follow their complaints procedure.
If that fails report it to the UKGC. If it is Leo then they got fined in May last year for something similar and I am sure they won't want to go down that route.

Thank you. I appreciate the advice.

Thank you but unfortunately I can't open a pab as I have opened multiple accounts there. One before Gamstop and this recent account during Gamstop.

This is a good point. I should take responsibility and I have. What has irked me about this is the ease I was allowed back in. It's almost as if they are allowing it to happen. It's as simple as changing the email address. Email addresses can be created instantly and as many times as you want. Your personal details stay the same, they can't be changed. A lot of impulsive gamblers who fancy a slot will change their email address on a sign up to get in.

I don't think you understand how much staff, time and money it cost to work on all these cases. After what I have heard then they wish that not a single player that is SE'd tried to sign up again. I guess you've heard something else.

Your right to be annoyed but even more right to take it all the way as as part of the decision to grant them a licence they have to have some RG procedures in place. The UKGC would destroy them if they found changing an email has led to an excluded player being able to create a new account.

If you don't like being pulled on your posts, stop accusing every player who posts this type of thread of fraudulent behaviour. A casino could be accused of fraud for not carrying out proper checks on its customers and allowing self excluded customers to gamble. That of course is backed up by the fact that many casinos have had penalties for this exact thing, yet I have not seen a single player taken to court for fraud for doing it.

As for looking at what the player has done for a win win situation, if the casinos did proper checks on account opening, then they player wouldn't be able to would they? As for win win, they always get caught on withdrawal as they have to submit KYC docs at that point, so how is it win win? It is lose/even if anything, as 99% of the time they will not get any winnings, and rarely get their deposits back. How is that win/win for the customer?

I'm pretty sure you can do a PAB. At least you have nothing to lose trying, and the casino have to work together with the staff here to try and solve the case if it's accepted.

I do understand it but they should have better systems in place. A lot of operators do.

Self excluded players are big spenders.

As I said, I won't stop posting my opinion just because you want me to. I wish I didn't have to argue with you each time though.

How much would it cost to set a script up to check on registration
Post Code
Surname
?
Any coder could do that in about 15 minutes, so the costs you are talking about would be no more than say £10?
