Case summary

7 months ago

The player from Italy had lost a significant amount on a slot machine and had requested account closure, but was instead offered a bonus to continue playing. After continued play, the user had experienced technical issues with the platforms and ended up losing total balance. The player sought reimbursement for the losses. The player claimed he had requested self-exclusion due to excessive gambling but the casino delayed the process, allowing him to continue depositing and playing. The player could not provide sufficient evidence of a gambling problem prior to the losses. Therefore, we could not find grounds for a refund request.

Hello, I lost about 3000 euros on the same slot machine and subsequently asked for my account to be closed. However, instead of closing it immediately despite my repeated requests, they stalled and offered me a bonus to continue playing. After reloading, my balance reached a total of 3700 euros. The slot machine then started making noise, similar to interference, and other slot machines opened simultaneously. My balance quickly decreased. I tried to exit and re-enter, but the system didn't even ask for my password and allowed direct access. Hence, in the end, I lost everything and would like to be reimbursed for the main winnings or for the total amount I deposited.

Dear giovanniventroni85,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.

Could you please forward your game history to tomas@casino.guru? Please highlight the exact time of the incident.

Meanwhile, please check our article explaining "How slot machines are programmed" https://casino.guru/how-slot-machines-work-math#how-are-slot-machines-programmed and maybe it’ll help to understand how servers communicate with players and what issues might occur on the way.

Please understand, that without any supporting evidence, we can’t proceed further with this case as it would be close to impossible to confront the casino.

 Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Best regards,

Tomas

Yes, thanks for your attention, unfortunately I don't have the history because I can no longer access the site.

But I have all the emails insistent requests to exclude me because I was playing too much

Thanks for the explanation.

We accept the situation the self-exclusion might not be applied immediately.

I can see you requested it on April 8th. Could you please advise when you made deposits in the casino?

Have you informed the casino about any gambling problems you might be experiencing, before, or after this email?

I apologize but if you contacted the casino with your request on the 8th of April and your casino account was self-excluded on the 10th of April, we would consider this to be a reasonable time for the casino to act to protect you.

Please let me know if there are any other circumstances I haven't considered, otherwise the complaint will be closed.

My account was closed without being able to be reopened on 04/16/24 almost 10 days after my self-exclusion request while being able to continue to deposit and play therefore I believe my refund request is very reliable.

Otherwise, what are there written rules for?

Initially, on 10/04/2024, you requested a refund for the deposits made after 8/04/2024

Could you please specify if you made any further deposits in the casino prior account being permanently blocked?

Please understand if you haven't informed the casino about any gambling problems, the casino might not act to protect you.

  • When did you inform the casino about any trouble controlling your gambling?
  • Could you please share this communication?

I am sorry but informing the casino that you lost too much is not sufficient reason to state you lost control of your gambling. Your other communication, sadly doesn't indicate you need protection from further gambling. With the evidence presented we might not have enough ground to ask for a refund on your behalf. Please let me know if there is any further evidence I haven't considered, otherwise I'll close the complaint will be closed.

Actually in the email it doesn't just say that I lost too much but that I ask for self-exclusion for playing too much

Let me know if you can request anything from the casino. Or I don't know what else to tell you

Dear giovanniventroni85,

I went over the information in the thread again, but I haven't found sufficient grounds for requesting a refund.

I am sorry for the disappointing result of your complaint.

I would like to call your attention to our Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative/assistance-tool 

This tool will make it easier for you to block your casino accounts across multiple gambling establishments simultaneously and is not affiliated with any specific casino. The Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool was designed to assist individuals who may be facing challenges with their gambling habits by helping them limit their access to gambling and reduce the potential for further harm.

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 issues with any online casino in the future.
