Casino Land - Self exclusion no respected

Hi janetteperu - welcome back!

You're going to have to give us some time with this issue as we're going to need to seek feedback from the UKGC.

While both operators are very clearly owned by the same group, CasinoLand is being run on the MT Secure Trade License while RoyalSlots is running on its own license. Technically self-exclusions only carry over to properties operating on the same license as the property the self-exclusion is applied on. However, in this case I personally feel there is a moral obligation fon the part of the operator to ensure that self-exclusions are applied at both the properties they own. I need to find out what the UKGC's position on this will be.

In the interim I would strongly encourage you to visit GamStop. Signing up with this service should exclude you from ALL UK licensed operators at once. Combining this with BetBlocker which should stop you accessing operators who are not licensed to accept UK players as well should provide you with fairly robust support to stop you accessing gambling.

Thanks,

Thank you very much for taking in to consideration my complaint. And thank you for this site to block me from gambling.

Hi janetteperu,

I appreciate your patience and realise this issue has taken a long time to resolve.

This particular issue has involved extended conversations with the operator, license holders and regulators alongside legal representatives for these parties in varying degrees. When we boil everything down (I don't want to write a 5k word report on everything that's been said) my ultimate conclusion is that the operator are technically right in legal terms and as such there is not sound basis for us to rule in support of you.

However, while I do acknowledge that the the legal and regulatory realities of this situation do support the operator, I personally - and by extension ThePOGG.com Ltd - do feel you've somewhat fallen through a loophole in the system here that tighter regulatory guidance could have avoided. As such, and given that CasinoLand are one of our Recommended partners we - that being ThePOGG.com Ltd - have decided as a one-off good will gesture to honour your claim ourselves.

Before we do this I ask you to provide your word of honour that this money will not be put back into gambling. That is the only contingent we place on this payment. If you are happy to give that please forward on your banking information and we'll arrange for your payment.

Thanks,

ThePOGG
