Parimatch Player Complaints Policy

This policy explains how Parimatch deals with player complaints. It follows Article 5.3 of the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK) and the rules laid down by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA). If something goes wrong, you have a clear path to resolution, and access to free alternative dispute resolution (ADR) if needed.

How to Submit a Complaint

Start with customer support. Email [email protected] or use live chat on the website. Most issues get sorted at this stage. If yours does not, you can lodge a formal complaint at no charge.
The deadline is six months from the incident. For poker and ante post fixed odds betting, that clock starts after the bet settles or the event wraps up. In-running sports betting complaints are a bit different, investigation data tends to disappear quickly, so the sooner you act, the better.
Only the registered account holder can file. No third-party complaints.

What Counts

Pretty much anything related to your account or experience on the platform. Deposits, withdrawals, bonus terms, account closures, game outcome disputes, responsible gaming, KYC verification, data protection, technical glitches, AML issues, fraud, unfair terms. If it involves your relationship with Parimatch, it qualifies.

The Formal Route

Download the Official Complaint Submission Form from the website. Fill in your name, address, residence, account number, the dates involved, a description of the problem, and attach whatever supporting documents you have. Send the completed form to customer support.

How Complaints Are Reviewed

Once a complaint lands, the handling depends on the type. There are two tracks with different timelines.
Responsible Gaming complaints get fast-tracked. Parimatch acknowledges them within two business days and targets resolution within five. If that is not enough, you get written notice. The maximum extension is two weeks, plus another two if the delay is on your end. These cover things like self-exclusion issues, cooling-off periods, or concerns about vulnerable players being targeted.
Everything else runs on a longer cycle. Acknowledgment within one week, resolution within four. Complex situations can stretch to eight weeks total with written notice. If you do not cooperate or hand over requested documents within the first four weeks, Parimatch can reject the complaint outright.
Either way, you get a written response by email. It will contain a reasoned assessment with evidence where relevant, an explanation if the complaint was not processed, or directions on what to do next if you disagree with the outcome.

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

If the result does not satisfy you, escalate to an independent ADR provider for free. Full details on eligibility, how to submit, and contact information are in the Parimatch Terms and Conditions.
The ADR process is impartial. The provider’s decision binds both sides, Parimatch and the player, but does not block you from taking legal action separately. One shot per complaint though. Once ADR wraps up or you pull out, the same issue cannot go back in.

The CGA’s Role

The Curaçao Gaming Authority does not step into individual complaints about gambling transactions. That is not what they do. But you can contact them directly if you suspect malpractice, a licence breach, or if you have whistleblowing concerns.

Record Keeping

Parimatch logs every complaint and reports to the CGA. Your information stays confidential, gets used strictly for regulatory purposes, and is kept on file for five years or as long as the law requires.

Your Rights

You can submit complaints for free, expect timely acknowledgment and resolution, access ADR services, pursue legal action if needed, contact the CGA on regulatory matters, and be treated fairly from start to finish.

Updates

This policy gets revised when regulations change or processes improve. Keeping up with updates is on you. By holding an account, you confirm you have read and accepted it. The policy is part of the Parimatch Terms and Conditions.
