Case summary

The player from Kuwait had requested to close his account permanently due to gambling addiction on May 09, 2026, but the account had remained active, resulting in a loss of 355 CAD. The casino stated that the player's initial email had been sent to an outdated support address and that the account was permanently blocked only after the correct security team had received the request on May 25, 2026. Despite the player providing evidence of earlier contact attempts, the casino denied responsibility for the losses incurred before the account closure, citing compliance with platform rules. The complaint was closed as unresolved since the casino refused to refund the losses, and the player was advised to escalate the matter to the Curaçao Gaming Authority.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with 1win Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so we can better determine how to assist you.

  • Is your account currently accessible to you?
  • Has the casino responded to your request at all? After you learned your request wasn't processed, have you contacted live chat, or have you requested self-exclusion again?
  • Would you be able to share any subsequent communication attempts or responses from the casino? My email is tomas@casino.guru
  • When was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?

If your account is currently not blocked, as the next step, I recommend you send a new self-exclusion request via email at support@1win.social, and at the same time, include me in the copy of the email at tomas@casino.guru

When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the period. Additionally, the email subject should be marked and easily recognizable, as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly, you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible.

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion:

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

Date of birth:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings 1win Casino Support,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be immediately excluded from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material permanently.

The reason for my decision is that I am suffering from gambling problems.

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."

In the meantime, check other resources and information in our responsible gambling guide found here: https://casino.guru/responsible-gambling-guide

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

Best regards,

Tomas

What do you have to say concerning the email sent by the player on the 9th of May 2026 to support@1win.social clearly stating gambling addiction?

Hello!

Thank you for the information provided. We would like to clarify that our support email address was updated from support@1win.social to support@1win.pro back in April. The message sent in May was addressed to an outdated email that was no longer active at that time.

Requests related to account blocking and responsible gaming are handled exclusively by our security team. After the user later contacted the correct department, the request was processed and the account restriction was applied on the same day. According to our records, the first direct appeal to the security team was received on May 25.

Thank you for your response. I would like to bring to your attention that the website players interact with still lists support@1win.social as the customer support email. The player has also attached a screenshot to support this. Furthermore, your website instructs players to contact customer support for requests regarding self-exclusion, and the aforementioned email address is the one displayed as the customer support contact. Therefore, it seems the player was following the guidance provided on the website. I understand that there may have been changes to the email address that were not reflected on the website. If this is the case, it would be challenging for players to be aware of such changes, and they should not be penalized, especially in this instance. I am of the opinion that the player should be compensated. What is your reaction to my proposition?

Dear Munya,

Before we can proceed with this proposition, we need to verify some details with the player. Thank you for your understanding.


Dear Alprince2001,

In your previous message you mentioned that a live chat agent advised you to contact support via email. Could you please confirm the date when this happened? This information is required for us to accurately verify the details on our side.

Hello


The chat was before the first email was sent or same day.


To be honest the live chat should have closed my account when I contacted them.


Thank you

Hello!

Thank you for providing the information. We have already taken the information provided into review and are currently checking all the details of the situation.

The investigation is still in progress at the moment. As soon as the review is completed, we will return with the final update and results.

Hello!

After a thorough review, we were unable to find any contact from you in our live chat support for the specified date. There are no records of messages or requests from your account in the chat system. We also re-checked our support email system, including search by sender, account data, and the subjects shown in your screenshots. No emails from you were found in the support inbox.

The only message we were able to locate was the one you sent to the security department. Based on that request, your account was promptly and permanently blocked.

In this case, compensation is not applicable. The security block was applied immediately after the first verified request.

I will forward the same email to the security account. So you can check it is not just a screenshot. 🤔


The same was sent to Guru team members in the beginning of this complaint.

Hello!

We’ve reviewed the case once more. Account closure is carried out exclusively upon request to the security team. In this situation, the account was permanently blocked immediately after the first verified request, with no possibility of restoration.

In this case, compensation is not applicable, as the restriction was applied in line with platform rules.

Although the casino honoured your self-exclusion request and permanently closed your account, they have not acknowledged their failure in the self-exclusion process and have refused to refund the losses incurred during the period your account should have been closed.

Despite my efforts, I was unable to persuade the casino of the validity of your refund request. They have made it clear that their decision is final and non-negotiable.

As a result, there are no further options available, and I must close this complaint as unresolved.

Since the casino operates under the Curaçao Gaming Authority, I advise you to escalate your complaint to the gaming authority by emailing complaints@cga.cw.

I understand that this is not the outcome you expected and I am sorry that I cannot assist further. However, please do not hesitate to contact us in future if you encounter problems with this or any other casino.

Regards,

Munya
