PLAYER COMPLAINTS POLICY
(last update 05.11.2025)
1.
Introduction
This Player Complaints Policy (the “Policy”)
has been established in compliance with the National Ordinance on Games of
Chance (LOK) and the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) guidelines regarding player
complaints and dispute resolution.
Promotech N.V., registration number 165167, address: Dr. H. Fergusonweg 1, Curaçao (hereinafter referred to as “we” or the “Company”), is dedicated to maintaining a transparent, fair, and accessible complaint handling procedure for all users of its domain, http://fortunica.casino/ (the “Website”).
As an operator licensed under Curaçao jurisdiction (OGL/2024/611/0233),
the Company acknowledges the importance of resolving player disputes promptly
and fairly.
Under this Policy, players have the right to
submit complaints and, where necessary, escalate unresolved issues to an
independent Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) entity.
All terms used in this Policy shall carry the
meanings assigned to them by the LOK and CGA guidelines.
1.1
Player
interaction
Player Interaction encompasses any written
communication initiated by a player and directed to the Company’s customer
support team, including inquiries, feedback, requests for assistance, or
clarifications. Such communications are not necessarily complaints. A
communication is classified as a complaint only when the player expresses
dissatisfaction with specific actions or decisions of the Company and requests
an official response or resolution.
1.2
Complaint
The Company is committed to delivering the
highest standard of service. Should you have concerns related to the operation
of our platform, our terms and conditions, technical difficulties, or the
conduct of our staff, you may submit a formal written complaint. Section 8 of
this Policy provides a non-exhaustive list of possible grounds for submitting a
complaint. We undertake to review all complaints in line with the procedures
set out herein and to provide a detailed response. To facilitate effective handling,
please include all relevant information when submitting your complaint. Only
registered players are permitted to submit complaints, and this right is
non-transferable to third parties.
1.3
Dispute
If you are dissatisfied with the resolution of
your complaint through our internal processes, you have the right to escalate
the matter to an independent authority. The Company supports constructive
engagement and fully respects the player’s right to pursue resolution through
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services or legal action if desired.
1.4
Alternative
dispute resolution (ADR)
The Company is committed to transparency and fairness in
resolving disputes. When a disagreement cannot be settled directly between the
player and the Company, we provide the option to escalate the matter to an
independent Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) body. This impartial process
involves a neutral third party who seeks to facilitate a fair resolution
without the need for formal court action. Further details about the ADR
procedure can be found in Section 5 of this Policy.
2.
Deadline for filing a complaint
You may submit at [email protected] formal complaint within six (6) months from the date the issue occurred.
·
For disputes related to bets, the six-month
period begins from the settlement of the bet.
·
For complaints concerning poker or other
player-to-player (P2P) games, the timeframe starts from the conclusion of the
game session.
·
For live betting, we strongly advise submitting
complaints as promptly as possible, as certain data may no longer be accessible
after a specific time, which could impact the availability of evidence and the
resolution outcome.
3.
Filing a complaint
3.1.Complaints can be submitted by emailing
from the email address registered to your account.
The complaint form should contain the following
details:
·
Your full name, residential address, and
country of residence;
·
Your account number;
·
The date when the event occurred and the date
the complaint is being filed (the complaint filing date is recognized as the
date we receive your request);
·
A detailed description of the issue;
·
Any supporting evidence such as documents or
screenshots, if applicable.
We accept complaints submitted in English and
in the official language of the website.
4.
Timeframes for complaint handling
We are committed to addressing complaints
promptly while adhering to specific deadlines depending on the complaint type.
4.1
Responsible
gaming complaints
For complaints related to responsible gaming
matters (e.g., self-exclusion), we will acknowledge receipt within 2 business
days. A full response will be provided within 5 business days from the date the
complaint is received.
If additional time is required to investigate the matter thoroughly, the
deadline may be extended by up to 2 weeks. In such cases, we will notify you in
advance about the delay and the expected timeframe.
4.2
Other complaints
For all other types of complaints,
acknowledgment of receipt will be sent within 7 calendar days. A final response
will be provided within 4 weeks from receipt of the complaint.
If the case is complex and requires further investigation, the resolution
period may be extended by an additional 4 weeks. We will clearly communicate
the reason for any delay.
In every instance, you will receive a written
response with the outcome of the review. Should we require more information
from you during the investigation, we will reach out within the initial 4-week
period. If no response is received from you, we reserve the right to close the
complaint due to lack of cooperation.
5.
Alternative dispute resolution
(ADR)
5.1.
If you disagree with our decision regarding
your complaint, you have the right to refer the matter to an independent
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider. ADR offers a fair and impartial
process for resolving disputes without resorting to court proceedings.
5.2. Under Curaçao law, we are required to provide players with the opportunity to submit claims free of charge to an independent ADR provider from the official list approved by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA). However, at present, the CGA has not yet published an official list of certified ADR providers. Until such list is made available, players may choose to use other reputable and certified ADR organizations that meet standards of transparency, independence, and professionalism at their own expense. This Policy will be updated once the CGA releases its official ADR provider list.
5.3.
Please note that once the ADR process
concludes, the same complaint cannot be submitted again through another
provider. Additionally, if a player voluntarily withdraws from the ADR process,
the complaint will be considered closed.
6.
Curaçao
Gaming Authority (CGA) role and complaint handling
6.1.
The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) does not
review or adjudicate complaints related to gambling transactions between
players and operators. All such complaints are handled internally by our
support and compliance teams according to the procedures set forth in this
Policy.
6.2.
If you believe that we have violated regulatory
requirements or breached the terms of our license, you may contact the CGA
directly. Complaints to the CGA can be submitted through the online complaint
form available on the official CGA website.
6.3.
Please be aware that the CGA does not mediate
individual disputes between players and operators. However, information
received by the CGA may be used as part of its supervisory duties to ensure
compliance with regulatory standards.
6.4.
We commit to retaining all complaint records
for a minimum of five years. Additionally, we submit biannual complaint reports
to the CGA on January 15 and June 15 each year. For more information or to file
a report, please visit the CGA’s official website:
