Freshbet Casino - O jogador conseguiu criar uma nova conta após a autoexclusão.

 struggled with severe gambling problems for the past six years and have been registered with Gamstop to protect myself. Despite this, I received a promotional email from Freshbet which triggered a relapse. After depositing and losing substantial amounts, I contacted them and asked for my account to be closed via live chat. Although they closed it, they subsequently allowed me to open another additional account using the exact same personal details.

This failure caused a serious escalation in both my gambling behaviour and my mental health. In total, I deposited approximately £3000 across the six accounts. I have repeatedly contacted the casino over several months, but they have been completely unhelpful, simply directing me to their terms and conditions rather than addressing their failure to protect a self-excluded and vulnerable customer.

I only asked for my £3000 to be refunded, as the harm and relapse were directly linked to Freshbet reopening or allowing new accounts after I had already disclosed my gambling issues and requested closure. Their lack of support and disregard for responsible gambling policies has had devastating consequences for me. The situation deteriorated to the point where I was sectioned under the Mental Health Act and admitted to hospital following a suicide attempt.

Despite all of this, Freshbet continues to send me promotional emails, which is extremely distressing.

I have tried repeatedly to resolve this with them, but my mental health has been severely affected and I am at a loss as to what more I can do. Even a refund of £3000 would make a significant difference to my life, yet they have shown no willingness to take responsibility or comply with their obligations to protect vulnerable UK players, which I have raised with them many times.
