One tactic on social media is to delete as much as you can, change all your profile data so it’s bogus, and retroactively revise as much of your comment history so that it’s meaningless, such as NSA haikus.
That way the account may not be closed, but it’s toxic. It will poison algorithm analyis, your consumer profile and AI scraping.
The Escapist refused to let me close my account in the early 2010s. So I did this.
This looks like a gambling app. So it’s not that you can’t close it until it’s not used. Voluntary exclusion is a mandatory policy required by legislation so a gambling addict can ask a casino to functionally ban them. This app is extra predatory in that they don’t allow a permanent ban right away. Their goal is to make it take multiple requests so an addict can relapse and spend more money and it’s the addicts fault.
What country is “you can’t close your account unless you go 90 days without using it first” legal in?
The USA. Facebook also does this.

A shithole country.
The kind that wants market driven solutions.
