BROKEN UKGC RULES!!
I opened an account few months ago, and I have been using with no issues. They set me up a deposit limit or £11 per month. I had entered into a self exclusion in the past. I had completely forgotten that. Regardless last night I logged in and I see that they had changed my deposit limit to £600. I thought this was strange so I decided to live chat the team and asked them if there was any issues at all with my account before I go ahead and deposit. The agent ran all my details and said all my account was fine and in working order and I can freely go ahead and deposit and I quote the agent said with no issues. So having forgot that I had entered into a self exclusion and no reactivation had been completed. I was unaware of this but first thing in the morning today I received an email confirming from the support team that the account shouldn’t have been able to be used as the reactivation has not been completed due to self Exclusion.
I completely understand that these things happen. I had forgotten my end that I entered into the self exclusion but that said the fact that as a customer I have repeatedly asked their live chat team. Is there any concerns or issues before I go ahead and deposit? That was their opportunity to say oh actually, sir I can see there’s a self exclusion still not being fully reactivated yet .
I have placed a formal complaint and I only wish to receive my deposits back, which I believe is fair.
I am not asking for anything else. I’m only asking for the deposits back due to the fact that I’ve repeatedly asked the live chat agent is all well with my account before I go ahead and deposit which I have as proof saved as a screenshot.
I very much hope this doesn’t have to be escalated to an ADR and I very much hope that it can be resolved between me and The and the Company. Sean
