Euromoons - Lost funds

Hi amesgeorge - welcome to ThePOGG.com!

Firstly apologies for the delayed response - I had to take last week off at short notice due to personal issues.

Are you a UK resident? If so I will inform the UKGC that this group are accepting UK players without a license.

I'm afraid to say that the licenses this group hold do not place any restrictions on what the operator can/cannot do when it comes to responsible gaming practices. As such there are no grounds for us to insist that they return your losses and the best we can do is report them to the relevant licensing authorities in the UK.

Thanks,

Hi amesgeorge,

I've informed the UKGC that EuroMoon casino are accepting UK players without a license. Hopefully they'll be able to take action to stop this happening in the future.

Other than the above there's not much we can do to help in this instance. The Curacao license that this group hold do not lay out any requirements for the protection of problem gamblers and both this group and their regulator are non-responsive to complaints at this site. Essentially this is a dead end.

Before closing this complaint I am going to try to contact the operator, but I want you to be aware of the low likelihood of success in this instance.

Thanks,

ThePOGG

Before I contact them, can you provide the username and email address you use at Euromoon casino?

Thanks,

Hi amesgeorge,

I've managed to talk to Euromoons about this issue and they've provide me with the chat transcript for the session in question.

The problem that exists here is that you've not actually used the term "problem gambling" or anything even closely resembling it when asking to have your account closed. The closest you come is saying "I have lost too much money". This statement could easily be interpreted as you being unhappy that you haven't won more often and doesn't necessarily indicate that you feel your gambling is out of control. While I agree that the operator doesn't specifically pursue a line of questioning to reveal whether this is a problem gambling issue, even the best regulated operators are only required to put in place problem gambling policies when the PLAYER makes clear their is an issue. I can post the chat transcript if you wish to review.

All I can suggest is that you ensure in future that if you're looking to close an account you specifically tell the operator that this is a "problem gambling" issue.

Sorry we can't be of more help,
