No empathy for people suffering aâŠ
No empathy for people suffering a mental health crisisâŠ.
I joined this company last week depositing a good amount- I never received any sign up bonus to begin with which was a let down at the very start.
There was no player protection in regards to appropriate affordability checks or account verification. The only check that was completed was a screen pop up of questions only after a loosing streak and depositing X amount.
I continued to deposit going on a down ward spiral with no human interaction or checks , if this had happened they could have known that I was postpartum and suffering depression and out of character out of control. Upon realizing my stupidity I reach out to the customer care team whom at the start were very cold and blunt I asked for a refund of my deposits from opening this account 4th and 5th of May due to my mental health crisis and that I have a 3 month baby and suffering postpartum depression and done this out of character to be told no and my account closed immediately.
There was no social responsibility checks I.e other sites I have been prompted to send ID and Bank statements then given a small deposit limit ect on this instance this didnât happen and yes I do share some of the responsibility however at that stage I was not in my correct mind state I contacted IBAS and received this email
hank you for your claim regarding Planet Sports Bet.
I am sorry to learn of the failure of your self-exclusion and resulting losses.
Although the Gamstop scheme is designed to try and make it simple for people to take this action, it is clearly also dependent on the person sticking with the commitment.
In order for exclusion to have the best chance of working, it is essential that all your details are kept up to date and only those exact details used.
Fundamentally, you have to decide whether you wish to stop gambling and then use the tools available in the most effective way for you â for instance blocking your card from gambling transactions or âââblocking payments from your bank account to betting sitesâââ.â âwe always try to help, but following guidance given to IBAS by the Gambling Commission (the industryâs regulator), we currently cannot help with any claims that a business has treated you irresponsibly or allowed you to deposit and spend sums of money that were not affordable to you.
Planet Sports Bet are licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission. You could make a complaint to them if you believe that they have contravened the terms of their licence. The best way to do that is by e-mai- No help for this at all it seem social responsibility and player protection is not actually looked into as a reason to help anymore??
I just wanted to leave a review for people like myself and are suffering at a time in life and do go into new sites please bare in mind there is no proper affordability checks nor player protection or identification algorithm in place on here to protect any vulnerable player or players who seem to be at crisis point and are not in control. This site must do better!
