BetBright - failed me in responsible gambling

Ruling

Found for the Casino - Having reviewed all the communications between the player and BetBright our opinion is that BetBright have enforced the exclusion at the correct time.

Player's Complaint

Dispute that they failed me in responsible gambling. As to myself ringing up constantly from day one calling the company a con. And rigged and that I'm stressed etc. I put in 2800 in the very first day of playing with them and multiple deposits like 10 plus and after each deposit I rang them going crazy. And not once asked had problem. Then I deposit on another day a further 700 roughly then the following day a guy called [EDIT] took over my account VIP level up grade I guess we had numerous exchanges and bonuses and me going mental sending multiple emails a day. I put in official complaint and they admitted failing me in responsible gambling and gave me back money from 10th of May till now which was 2790 pounds but I do not believe this is fair as I should get money back before [EDIT] took over. I constantly still contacted them before he took over. so how is that fair to get some when no different from my very first deposit

Thankyou this be great help . I have complained about further money . As my very first deposit was around 2800 and multiple deposits and I rang up constantly saying I want speak manager etc saying it. What confuses me they admit since the guy took other should be asked and seen since then. He would email me back direct and he would chuck bonuses at me left right and centre was crazy really was . But no different as I was with him apart from I could send him more direct emails . But like said I rang up even from my first deposit they have already admitted they failed me I beleive I should have all deposits back maybe not first say 2 but all them once someone admitted it

Hi smash2323,

I've now reviewed all communications between yourself and BetBright via email, Live Chat and Phone Call up to and including the 10th of May.

The reason for the 10th of May cut-off is that all deposits made from the 10th of May forward have already been refunded and as such are not in contention.

Unfortunately my review of the communications confirms the BetBright position that the 10th of May is the point where the operator should have imposed an exclusion under their Responsible Gambling policies. Having reviewed both the communications up until the 9th of May and those on the 10th of May, the communications from the 10th of May show:

- A significant increase in frequency of contacts.

- A substantial increased sense of urgency that has not existed in the communications prior to the 10th (requests to "get manager ring me asap" followed quickly by repeated requests when this did not happen immediately).

- Significant evidence of sustained negative emotional response to the games. No longer is the return simply bad, this is the "worst experience I have had in my life". These statements continue over several hours.

- The first occurrences of direct questioning of the fairness of the games. This extends beyond the previous statements about being unhappy with the return of the games to actively stating you have been "stitched-up" and "didn't win one double up always picked lowest card I do not believe that's possible".

Your communications prior to the 10th - specifically the phone calls you requested be reviewed - certainly express discontent about the return of the games played and do request several bonuses (most of which were honoured, though not in the specific form you appear to have been looking for), but lack the traits specifically defined above.

While I entirely sympathise with the fact that this will not be the outcome that you were hoping for, having reviewed all the communications between yourself and the operator it is the opinion of this service that while BetBright did not take the correct action at the correct time, they have already taken the action appropriate to ensuring you were reset to the position you were in immediately prior to the point where they should have taken action and as such have met their Responsible Gambling requirements.

Sorry we cannot be of further help,

ThePOGG
