Skybet holding my money nearly 6 years.

[Afaslew1985]

So basically i self excluded after 1 year it finshes. I would either have to ring some companies before they open the account

 

[Afaslew1985]

You already expressed that you want your account to be opened which is enough, then you were given 24h cool off period.

Must be traumatic experience if not getting over it in 6 years. These kind of posts makes it look obvious that more nannying and regulations to UK are needed when grown up people behave like this.

My account was self exclude for problems with gambling so it that simple to reopen

It is exactly that simple, all self-exclusions are considered as problem gambling and therefore need that 24h cool off period like you had. You told yourself that you contacted them to open your account which they did with cool off period.

There is no any failure happened from operator.

Well the fishing season started officially yesterday and there seems to be a bit of it going on here. Problem is, I think you were fishing for answers of a different sort, ones that would lead to, “do you think I have a ca.......

What is your ideal outcome from this thread? The £1 back? Compensation? Agreement from the CM Members that you have been wronged? Sorry but I’m confused as to why you would create an account to complain about something that happened 6 years ago when it really doesn’t have any significant financial impact on your life?

 

[cncas2123]

As long as you don't say it was £96 or 96p we are happy.

Well it's annoying I understand, but alas the Statute of Limitations in the UK means you cannot effectively pursue this unless they admit the debt to you, even then they wouldn't have to pay it after 6 years, unless they wanted to. If you are within limitation, then you won't have a hope of paying 75 quid for a summons to CC over less than a quid! Vexatious my friend.

It also seems you are suffering gambler's remorse and retrospectively trying to assign blame for what are essentially your own actions. While you have this nonsense in your head, you'll never be free of gambling. Just pretend you had a £1 spin on Bonanza and lost it. Move on mate.

It really isn't worth the stress, or bandwidth.

The number 96 shot into my head when I started reading this thread, and the more it goes on the more the OP's posts resemble the famous 96....... won't be surprised if its Mr 96 in disguise.

 

[Afaslew1985]

I dont gamble anymore its just principle.

 

[Afaslew1985]

Give me 1 reason why they can keep my money this is not a wind up most of you guys are not really helpful just trying to joke maybe lack of attention at home. That's why you still gamble

 

[asidea]

Give me 1 reason why they can keep my mlney

How old are u Afaslew1985???Are you sure ure old enough to even register at any casino, much less this forum, me thinks ure winding us up

 

[snorky510238]

Why has it taken 6 years to bring it to the public’s attention?

 

[Gaz237]

So basically i self excluded after 1 year it finshes. I would either have to ring some companies before they open the account

I don't suppose you could self exclude yourself from this forum?.

 

[Afaslew1985]

I know that you can claim until 6 years. I gave sky every chance to return my money. I rang them after work during the years and email live chat to give my balance back.

Most of the support was very rude they didn't want to help they said we will not discuss this and cut the phone off. That the reason how can they treat us like that. How can they just keep your money and when you ring them they just cut you off is this a responsible gambling company always on tv promoting how much they do to protect vulnerable gamblers but they cannot give my balance back for nearly 6 years.

It make me feel clean again i havent gambled i will donate money charity im on right track do not want to fall into gambling addiction again

 

[Afaslew1985]

I feel sorry for your computer chair must be on it 24/7 go gets some fresh air.

Pity Bryan ain't available, perhaps op would like Bryan's help!.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Instead of dealing with support and instances yourself, have you tried to get in touch with a lawyer?

 

[pinnit2014]

I don't suppose you could self exclude yourself from this forum?.

No can do - i owe the guy 50p and can't afford to pay him back yet

Maybe next week though i can afford, with the number of 1 liners in the L&L comp being reduced by 1 tonight

 

[Davey86]

That’s a bit harsh on the forum members it’s not like we withheld your quid

Actually, I'm laid on my sofa in just my underpants.

My groinal region is benefitting from a lovely evening breeze from the open window.

@ternur Wake up, sober up and get back to work.

 

[Davey86]

On behalf of said casino and most members on Casinomeister’s forum I will give you said £1.58 message me ur paypal or any details where I can send it then it’s over and you can get on with your life all is well and ends well

 

[Afaslew1985]

Is it not clear cut they owe me money i have proof what are they going to say to the judge.

 

[Afaslew1985]

Its not about the money it about why would they not return it when asked. I knew it wasnt a good idea to ask on a gambling forum full of addicts. A normal person would understand.

 

[paul7388]

I could give you a 100 reasons. They are all pennies tho.

Bit of a broadbrush, sweeping statement to make - i wouldn't tar others with your own failings

There's your answer, look in the mirror

Havent gambled 6 years. I asked for advice but from the stary most of the members have been rude for no reason so

 

[Davey86]

If you haven’t gambled in 6 years signing upto a gambling forum is not a wise choice is it

 

[Afaslew1985]

I though this forum knew about giving advice but it seem they need just like making fun of people here. I read another threads seem like the norm.

 

[paul7388]

The problem is most members are in shock that someone would sign up to this forum complaining about being owed a pound for 6 years from a casino.

And to state you have been pursuing them for 6 years

I checked todays date thinking this must be a wind up. Still think it has to be someone ripping the piss this cannot be real.

If it was hundreds i could understand. But 6 years of your life chasing a £1. Will have cost you more than that in electricity and mental health.

 

[Afaslew1985]

The main reason for the lack of duty they showed when they didn't follow the self exclusion process. Why cant i chase my pound back. Why are they refusing to give it back.

 

[ternur]

@ternur Wake up, sober up and get back to work.

Yeah, I'm already calculating fees. I do have some concerns about the monetary value of the case. Plus I'm not totally clear what the case is. But that has never been a problem. Sending a bill is like playing slots, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

 

[paul7388]

I though this forum knew about giving advice but it seem they need just like making fun of people here. I read another threads seem like the norm.

But to be fair.

You are seeking advice so maybe people should not be making fun.

So i can give you a serious bit of advice. Write the pound off. Convince yourself it fell out your pocket whilst running for a bus or something. Forget it ever existed. Forget Skybet ever existed and move on and forget about it. 6 years is a long time wasted over a £1.

 

[Slottery]

Yeah, I'm already calculating fees. I do have some corcerns about the monetary value of the case. Plus I'm not totally clear what the case is. But that has never been a problem. Sending a bill is like playing slots, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

You could take this one as pro bono, makes you famous to fight for human rights, can't be anything but crime against humanity happened here.

 

[Afaslew1985]

A pound could be the difference. £999,999 or £1 MILLION.

 

[cncas2123]

Did you ask them why they are refusing to give it back? They might give you the reason rather than asking for people here to guess at an answer.

Ok so then what let them do it to others why not set it straight so they dont do it to you then.

True.

Suppose he could start an Every Pound Matter's movement.

 

[Afaslew1985]

They basically stole my pound.

 

[Slottery]

If amount left on your account is small, casinos don't automatically refund them. If you email with your bank details and KYC documents they should complete that refund for you. Have you tried that?

 

[Afaslew1985]

I wasalready verfired

 

[pinnit2014]

True.

I actually had a pound refused from Home Bargains, of all places, a few days ago - forgot my card but luckily had a few coins in my pocket and when i went to hand it over I was refused cos it was one of the old ones (it looked round and shiney to me) so clearly, even pounds are treated differently

 

[Davey86]

I did offer to send the £1.58 as a pretend affiliate

 

[Afaslew1985]

I rang them each time they said we will not discuss this matter further

Don’t muscle in mate. I’m the no1 fake affiliate around these here parts. Yeeeeehaw!

Bonanza's stolen enough pounds from us, we cannae afford to hand them out like confetti.

I know but we need to end this one way or the other

 

[Afaslew1985]

Why cannot not request my money i dont have a accont anymore i am self excluded. They way they trest you after you quit is shocking
