FEATURED PUBLIC FORUM THREADSelf-excluded players and their deposits

A new player signed up and deposited 8,000 GBP, losing near 7,000 GBP. The affiliate program doesn't want to pay the commission because the player has self-excluded, but this seems dubious. First, they told me the data was incorrect, then that the player was fraudulent, then ultimately they said the player was self-excluded. I asked them to provide information that proved they had returned the player's deposits to him. The answer was that they can't. Does anyone have any experiences with self-excluded players? read more
