Do you know that we offer different options and recommendations to help you play responsibly?For more information on how to use our self-exclusion feature, setting deposit, table and betting limits, please visit our Responsible Gaming page.I responded with loads of emails heee is one of the responses I sent them :Dear PokerStarsUK Responsible Gambling Team, Player Munghiii has waited over 24hours for a response about reopening his account. He is NOT negatively effected by playing on PokerStarsUK. He finds playing poker calming for his anxiety and has the money to do so. He has waited over the 12-24 hours for a response and for the limitations on his account to be lifted. He has a large tournament he or a ticket through spending money via WinterSeries challenge coming up that he has been looking forward to and he wanted to practice today beforehand. His complaint was only about the abusive language some other players make and he ignores 99% of it but some people spend more time writing offensive chat than playing so he thought he would let you know. He is now wishing he had not complained due to the limitations on his own account that have been set. He is not particularly skilled at writing and I understand his emails are somewhat confusing. He is now getting impatient and is considering closing his account as he just deposited an amount to play with you and you have locked him out and, well, he's not a happy customer. Please send a response as soon as possible and lift the limitations on his account. Yours Sincerely, M. RiordonSocial Worker How and what date will my cash be returned to me ??
