Player's complaint

A complaint mediated by an ADR provider concerned a customer who had self-excluded with the operator and was subsequently able to open a new account using a slightly different version of their name. The customer deposited and lost a significant sum before the duplicate detection identified the breach. The case was one of several patterns that contributed to industry-wide tightening of self-exclusion duplicate-detection rules.

Casumo Casino response

The operator refunded the customer in full, identified the matching algorithm gap, and pledged stronger fuzzy-name matching at registration. The case was disclosed to the UKGC during a wider compliance review.
