Hi all,
Forgive me, I am new to the whole forum thing. I have been reading threads throughout this forum and wanted to highlight an ongoing issue I have with Redbet in search of some advice.
I recently registered an account with them a couple of weeks ago and was able to deposit a considerable sum of money as soon as I opened the account which was eventually lost. Having returned to login a couple of hours after registration, Redbet had blocked my account and told me that I had a self exclusion with Mr Green that was initiated a couple of years ago and closes on the 19/5/2023. This is Redbets sister company. Not knowing that these two sites had an affiliation, I did some research into both sites and also found that William Hill (also self excluded until 2023) has involvement with Mr Green, to whom I am still self excluded with having confirmed with them after contacting them via phone.
It became clear that although my deposits were allowed, I was at no point going to be able to have winnings or withdrawals from my account accepted and I wanted to know if I have grounds for a refund request of my deposits? I should stress that I was under no implication that these sites were linked, as is the case with William Hill.
The registration details for Redbet were identical to those of my self excluded Mr Green account bar a change of email address with Name, Address, Phone No. and DOB the same. I have contacted Redbet who have just said that it has been escalated to the relevant department and they will contact me soon although it has been nearly 10 days. I have contacted Mr Green and William Hill separately to confirm the ongoing self exclusion I have with them as well. It just feels as this is a failure of customer care and social responsibility. It was always going to be a lose lose for me as the customer, regardless if I had any winnings. In addition, Mr Green has had a considerable amount of time to transfer my registration details to Redbet to update their database and block the opening of an account. Both sites operate under MGA, I don’t know if that info helps though.
Having read similar threads, it looks like people in the end, reach the desired solution but I’d really like some help from anyone out there that can advise!
Look forward to hearing from you all.
