Case summary

1 month ago

The player from Italy had requested self-exclusion from the casino but faced a lack of response for months, during which significant losses occurred. He sought damages amounting to at least 10,000 euros. The Complaints Team reviewed the case and confirmed that the casino had refunded all deposits made since the player's first mention of suicide, which was acknowledged as a mistake on the casino's part. However, the request for additional compensation was deemed irrelevant, leading to the closure of the complaint without further action.

Good morning, some time ago I requested self-exclusion from the site and threatened suicide multiple times. No one listened to me for months until I succeeded. During those months, I lost a lot of money and ruined myself. Now I am asking for damages, which I quantify to be at least 10,000 euros.


Thank you

Dear Filippo00000,

Thank you for submitting your complaint, and I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve encountered with 22bet Casino. Before we proceed, I would like to ask you a few additional questions to better understand the situation.

  • When did you first request self-exclusion?
  • Did the casino ever respond to your request?
  • Additionally, would you be able to forward the self-exclusion requests you sent to the casino to nikolas.b@casino.guru for further review?


I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Nick

Dear Filippo00000,

Unfortunately, in none of the email communication did you mention having any issues with gambling or addiction. Even when the casino asked you directly, there is no visible response addressing this.

Could you please confirm when exactly your account was closed? Please note that no refund is available unless gambling issues were explicitly mentioned beforehand.

I look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Nick

Forgive me, in the emails I mention suicide and the provider, under my threat to go to Curacao, refunded me the bets, about 8000 euros. Do you think this is the behavior of someone who thinks they are not in the wrong? I am starting to think that it is you who do not want to help.

Dear Filippo00000,

The key point was to mention gambling addiction, which you did address in the emails provided. While threatening suicide can sometimes be a sign of deeper issues, it is not always indicative of addiction—some players may unfortunately use such statements in hopes of receiving special treatment from the casino.

Since you mentioned addiction in your last email, I will be forwarding your complaint to my colleague Michal (michal.v@casino.guru), who will be taking over and assisting you from here.

I wish you the best of luck in resolving this matter.

Best regards,

Nick

Hello!


We would like to clarify this case. The player's account was closed due to gambling addiction. On the 8th of July 2024, more than 8,000 euros were returned to him. On our side, all obligations have been fulfilled.

Hello filippo00000,


Your comments have been carefully reviewed, and we have considered all the facts presented during the proceedings. We have also already compensated you in full.

Sorry, that's not the case, now everyone here knows that:

1 for 4 months you ignored my request for self-exclusion

2 for 4 months you ignored my request for help because I am a compulsive gambler

3 for 4 months you ignored my suicide threats.


There are 2 options:

1 will you compensate me for the damages as per my request which I quantify at 10,000 euros, yes, it is your fault that I have ruined my life

2 do not refund me and all players will know that you are scammers who have not respected the principle of safe gaming and that this site agrees with you. In this case I will report to the authorities to investigate.


Thank you

Hello!

We would like to provide an official explanation regarding the situation with the player who mentioned potential suicide in an email to the VIP manager. The player did indeed make such a statement, which, unfortunately, was not addressed on time. This was our mistake. We acknowledge that we should have taken immediate action and closed the player’s account due to signs of gambling addiction.


After the player’s subsequent contact, we thoroughly reviewed the request, identified the staff mistake, and took all necessary steps to rectify the situation. We apologized to the player and refunded all losses incurred since the moment of their first mention of suicide, thereby fully compensating them for their losses during that period.


However, the player is now demanding an additional compensation of €10,000, despite having already received a full refund of all losses. Our company has taken all appropriate measures, fully addressed the player’s concerns, and resolved the issue. Therefore, further compensation is not justified.

After the admission of guilt, I ask that a pro bono pacis compensation be agreed. Otherwise I ask that Curacao be involved in this report, in order to submit the matter. I think that what you see above is very serious and Curacao must make decisions regarding the license of these gentlemen. I also asked via email (I have proof) to remove my name from all casinos with a Curacao license, I was assured but never done. I now ask that my rights be respected, otherwise I will publish everything on trustpilot and on all social media against the casino and against you who do not protect me.

Thank you

Dear 22bet Casino,


Do I understand correctly that you have refunded the player all of their deposits (in the amount of 8000 euros) that they made since their first mention of suicide?

The money was much more, I want Curacao to be involved, let's see if the behavior is not serious. For 4 months I got into debt and my debt skyrocketed. There is much greater damage also because they allowed me to register on other portals both of their group and of other groups despite having assured me of self-exclusion. Casino Guru whose side are you on? Do you involve Curacao or do I have to report you too?

I want Curacao to be involved so that they sanction 22bet for what they admitted and suspend their license. It is unacceptable that despite the serious things they admitted, no measures are taken and I do not obtain compensation.

I bring to the attention of all players, stay away from 22bet. As you can see they took advantage of my illness by stealing my money. Share this situation on all channels. No one should give in to these scammers. I am also very disappointed by casino guru, you say you want to protect players and yet in the face of a serious situation like this you do nothing.

Dear everyone,


I am closing this case as there was a complete refund of deposits since the player mentioned suicide (even if they did not explicitly state gambling addiction). No additional funds should be refunded to players in these cases, but the deposits. Therefore, the additional €10,000 (which was quantified by the player themselves) is absolutely irrelevant in this case and does not mean anything. What was supposed to be returned to the player, were his deposits, and only his deposits.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
