RESOLVED

Case summary

The player from Switzerland had attempted to resolve an issue with a mistaken second account at the casino after depositing 20 euros. Despite contacting the casino multiple times, he received no response, and the deposit remained unusable due to the breach of terms. He requested a refund of the deposit or a transfer to his original account. The Complaints Team intervened and facilitated communication with the casino, which ultimately agreed to transfer the funds and issue a bonus to the player's active account. The player confirmed receipt of the funds and bonus, and the complaint was marked as resolved.

Dear CasinoGuru Team,


I apologize for opening a case over this minor issue, but the casino is not responding to my attempts to contact them. I've tried twice via the contact form in the past 7 days and once by email.


Unfortunately, I accidentally opened a second account at this casino. My old account was inactive for a long time, and the email address associated with it was also inactive. I apologize for the mistake, which thankfully has never happened to me before. I had only registered with 5 casinos using the old email address.


I noticed the error after depositing 20 euros and immediately contacted the casino via the contact form. I did not place any bets.

I followed up a few days later by email, which also went unanswered. Another request through the form was ignored as well.


I completed KYC on the old account, but not on the mistakenly created one.


Unfortunately, it seems the casino is hoping that no one will go through the effort over 20 euros.


I cannot use the deposit due to the unintentional breach of terms and conditions. Therefore, it should be standard procedure to refund the deposit and close the mistakenly created second account. Alternatively, which I would have also accepted, is to credit the deposit to the already existing account.

The only reaction from the casino was to deactivate the second account.


I kindly ask you through this medium to prompt the casino representative to address my request. Thank you very much.

Dear hugbearli,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. 

Have you contacted the casino through live chat?

When did you create this new account?

Did you only make a deposit without activating any bonuses or engaging in further activity?

Could you please share your communication with the casino? You can send emails or chat transcripts to my email at dominika.l@casino.guru or post screenshots here.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Dominika

Hello Dominika,


The live chat referred me to the email and the contact form.

I registered with the second account by mistake on October 15th, then there were weekly promotions and I waited to see what kind of offers there were.

I wanted to use one of these offers (see above, 07.12 deposit) and when the bonus was not credited to me, I tried logging in with the old email address as a test and then noticed that I had made deposits there a long time ago. To be honest, I don't understand why casino software doesn't indicate that you already have an account when you register and before you make a deposit. This check is only carried out after payment if the bonus is not credited. Some other casinos with the same softswiss software indicate this when you make a deposit.


I have attached the communication with the casino and my email request above. I can upload screenshots from the contact form, but all you see is "Your request has been sent" in German.


I find it a bit annoying that they read my emails and deactivate my account, but otherwise neither issue a refund nor give the customer a response. But I am sure that the casino will resolve the matter seriously by issuing a refund after receiving an invitation here.


I wish you happy holidays and a healthy 2025

Dear hugbearli, do I understand correctly that you tried to activate the bonus with your deposit but it wasn't credited?

How did you activate the bonus?

Have you heard back from the casino?

Hello,


Exactly, so again for a better understanding: For the first 3 weeks or so when I tried online gambling, I used Gmail address X to register at casinos, which I had previously used for newsletters for years. That was in 5 casinos. Then I deactivated this email because 90% of it was spam and decided to create a new gmail just for casinos.

I used this to register at casinobello a long time later (many months), always using my real name of course. I then received a special bonus via email and used the bonus code. When this bonus was not activated, I wanted to contact the chat but I had the idea of trying to log in with the deleted email first.

When this login worked, I noticed my mistake and since then I have been trying to get a refund or to have the deposit credited to the old account. As mentioned, it would be desirable if a casino did not wait until the deposit was made to check for duplicate accounts, but instead compared the data and date of birth when registering. But yes, it was my mistake and it only happened to me once and never again.

As mentioned, the casino does not respond to emails. I have seen that they do not even respond to negative feedback on TrustPilot, although 99% of Hollycorn casinos and most of Dama's unofficial sister casinos respond there, which is why there is something suboptimal about the management of this casino. But simply blocking it and keeping the money is definitely not okay 🙁

Dear Hugbearli,
