Codeta - failing to honour self exclusion

Ruling

Resolved - Action was not taken quickly enough by Codeta Casino to restrict this account. As such all deposits made more than 24 hours after the request have been refunded.

Read our Codeta Casino Review.

Player's Complaint

Hello im new to the site and was looking for some help. I requested self exclusion from Codeta casino, i requested via email, live chat and facebook page. I however heard no response. I then went on to deposit more funds as a result of my account remaining open. I submitted a complaint via ASKGAMBLERS which had no response. I then submitted a complaint via Resolver, i finally recived a reply which stated my account was closed and i would be contacted in due course regarding deposit refund. I have however heard absolutely nothing despite several emails i have sent which have been ignored. This casino doesnt seen to follow the rules in line with the gambling commission guidance. I would like to request that all my deposits are refunded due to complete failure to protect vulnerable customers.

Hi Feelinginvisable,

Apologies for he delays - there have been some communication issues with this license holder that we have had to work through before we could review your case appropriately.

I need you to provide all email, live chat and facebook messages you have exchanged with the operator regarding this issue. Please forward them on to [email protected].

Thanks,

ThePOGG

Hi Feelinginvisable,

I've reviewed this issue with Everymatrix. You sent your first exclusion request via email on the 8th of November at 3:53am server time. Under UKGC guidance the license holder are allowed a reasonable time to respond to this type of request (i.e. they are not expected to act on it instantly) and it is generally accepted that a 'reasonable time' would be 24 hours. This did not happen in your case. Everymatrix has identified two deposits that were made after the 24 hour window that amount to £200 and are due to be refunded. As Codeta has closed in the interim period Everymatrix requires you to provide your bank information to make this refund.

Thanks,

ThePOGG

Hi Feelinginvisable,

I've spoken to the operator again. They inform me that the bank information you sent in was for local UK transfers and that they need you to provide international transfer details to allow them to make the payment (IBAN/BIC).

Thanks,

Hi Feelinginvisible,

Thank you for your email, but as said above it is your international payment details you need to provide. We need your IBAN number and BIC/Swift codes alongside the address of your bank.

Thanks,

Still no response or refund yet from every matrix. This whole process has been exhausting and stressful. The only real communication im recieveing is from The Pogg but i understand you guys are busy enough. I feel massively let down by Codeta casino and now Every Matrix also. I wish to seek full refund for all deposits made to Codeta as not once in the lifetime of my account was any communication available. Please help as this is nearly six months now. Kind regards Feelinginvisable

Hi Feelinginvisable,

Firstly, apologies for the delay. We've been having some communication issues with the EveryMatrix license that has brought several conversations to a standstill.

Apparently the issue is that EveryMatrix believe there is an error in the IBAN/Swift codes you provided. What I need you to do is email EveryMatrix and ourselves a screenshot or photo of either a bank statement or your online banking showing your IBAN and Swift codes.

Thanks,

ThePOGG

Hi Feelinginvisable,

The operator has confirmed sending a payment. Thanks very much for confirming receipt of your funds (finally!).

With regard to the other issues you raise, firstly, there is no ground for further refund of funds. The operator were late in acting on your request, but have refunded all deposits outside of the 24 hour window that is accepted to be allowed under the UKGC license. Secondly, gambling firms are prohibited from sending promotional material to excluded players. This is not a complete prohibition on any communications and allows for communication of reasonable information about your account. In this instance the email was informing you that as Codeta Casino had closed your account (alongside all other Codeta accounts) had been transferred to Jetbull Casino, in case you needed to locate it. It was an informational email and not subject to the restrictions.

Thanks,

ThePOGG
