Newbie gambler - self exclusion?

[Loula75]

I’m pretty new to online slots, tend to dip in and out every couple of months. A while back I thought I was spending too much on Leo Vegas so I self excluded. Now I have an account with Spinstation (and couple of others). Does that mean if I won on Spinstation they could withhold my deposits and cancel winnings as I have self excluded elsewhere? Sorry if this is a naive question! I don’t ten to read the T&C’s.

SpinStation isn’t part of the LV group so that’s fine.

However LV have acquired the old IPS sites so if you did from one of those you’ll be excluded from there.

Google gambling commission and check the LV licence to see all the related ones.

Can you login to LV? (Sore subject for me as iv been incorrectly self excluded from LV, complaint pending :-p)

If you won on one of the other sites they keep your winnings but should void and return your deposits that you made since the SE.

Thanks for the advice. I went on the GC site and I don’t think Spinstation is part of LV. I won fair bit on Hippodrome and am wary they will use some sort of excuse not to pay out. They state they are part of Betway but I’ve never had any sort of account with Betway site so should be safe. It’s a mine field! Kind of takes the enjoyment out of it.. good luck with LV hope it gets resolved.

No, they’re defo not. Caddell casino.

 

The main LV ones are mcasino, pink casino, bingogodz and 21.co.uk.

 

You may wish to read ts and cs if you plan on staying gambling because max bets, excluded games and self exclusions will always be an issue :-)

Thanks, I’ll make sure I look into it more. One more question.. if I was on a timeout on Spinstation and then won something on Spinrider (who are in the same group), can they cancel my account and take the winnings?

Good question...

 

I'd say no - a Take a Break on one is NOT the same as self exclusion. So it shouldn't lead to problems.

 

However...i know of a case whereby someone TAB on one site and it was treated as SE on other. Long story short they challenged it and won. So if it happens, complain.I think you'd have a strong case if they did this (IBAS agreed)

 

Another thing - casino SE's are licence specific, not owner.  So even if 32 red for example and Unibet are linked via the same owner (Kindred) if they have separate licences, then things like SE will not apply.
