GamStop With Unibet

[Davey86]

I am not blaming anybody but myself I acknowledge that? All this blahhhh I'm blame the casino to get my money back poor me I want my deposits back is not going to entertain me. This just shows how little-minded people are. I AM TRYING to make sense as to why my Unibet account was not closed.

Gambling is an addiction and its very hard to stop. This is why Gamstop is there? To help and block people from using UK casinos who are signed up with Gamstop. I walk past betting shops daily and don't enter them. When you are sat at home on your PC and the urge to deposit/gamble is huge, I am seeking help.

Just to clarify I have not opened any casino accounts since 2017. My Gamstop exclusions has been set since 2018. Please don't accuse me of being 'wierd' and making accounts, this is not the case and trying to get past the system.

This is a forum? Is freedom of speech ok here? This is about making sense of the situation and to see if Unibet have failed a player 'me' from gambling under a Gamstop & 32Red exclusion.

Feel free to mock 'I'm begging for my money back' I am a better person than that.

being totally honest with you mate no one has said most of what you said, like you’ve said it’s a forum freedom of speech blahhhh read my posts seek more help!! With most things theirs failures yes gamstop maybe has failed you! Don’t fail yourself seek help seek more help don’t Stop asking for help

I know mate, its 100% down to me, I am only blaming myself, a few now have noted why I've opened an account to gamble. These accounts were all closed after the Gamstop exclusion it was only Unibet stayed open.

Maybe I should not have posted on here and kept quiet while Unibet does an investigation. But is it not best to talk and speak out? If you look at the gambling commission. gov site in June 2019 Unibet was fined a vast amount of money for failing:

The investigation also found a failure to comply with:

• Social responsibility code 3.4.1(1)(c)
• Social responsibility code 3.4.1(e)(i) & (ii)
• Ordinary code provision 2.1.1

I think my opening post of 'get my deposit' back has triggered people. These companies make billions from feeding off people's addiction.

I feel my story needs to be heard, if not to teach others the result of problem gambling and Gamstop does not seem 100% bullet proof.

Sorry for not updating. I've tried to stay away from Gambling related forums/websites even if they provide good.

My claim was rejected due to my unibet account sign up details were different to the GameStop details. This unibet account was opened in 2015 with 32 red, the exact same details were used but the 32 red account was closed shorty after setting up GameStop automatically but unibet wasn't. I was able to deposit/withdrawal using my credit card details which were registered to GameStop.

I registered with AskGamblers and made a claim with them again this was rejected.

I have since taken away from all of this, it is a very flawed system and is not perfect.

I have seeked help from a GameCare councillor this has been brilliant.

i had a similar experience with unibet and 32red. seems they make up rules as they go. did you question there 'award winning early detection scheme?'. I have asked them to explain what that actually means...no response however.

Happy to hear you trying to work with your problem, hope you doing well! Yes, it's far from perfect, if you just have enough details not matching, you're not recognized, also it includes some details which people do change and also some have habit to spell their name bit differently etc... It is unfortunately bit too easy to get around. Credit card details they don't collect though so that can't stop it. Would be cool if banks would offer option like some netwallets that gambling transactions wouldn't be allowed (which of course can also be circumvented easily).

Your last sentence is best what you can do, keep fighting against problem until you get over it and like you did already, get some support, it's not silver bullet either but many do get some help from these resources and when you fight against addiction, it's just smart way to try all support available, never know before trying what helps for who. Staying away from forums is good idea as well if you feel it can trigger you to gamble again.

All the best!
