Hello,


I requested permanent account closure from Bankonbet Casino due to my gambling addiction. I explicitly stated that I am a gambling addict and wish for my account to be permanently closed. Furthermore, I explicitly indicated that I do not want to be allowed to open a new account or reopen my existing one.


The casino initially complied with my request and closed my account. However, I was later able to easily reopen it within minutes via live chat. In my view, this contradicts fundamental player protection measures, especially since I had explicitly disclosed my gambling addiction.


For this reason, I request a full refund of my deposits amounting to €750 and the permanent closure of my account without any possibility of reopening.


I am attaching the relevant screenshots of the communication with the casino as proof.


Best regards

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I am truly sorry about your negative experience with Bankonbet Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • Could you please advise on the timeline of the events? When did account closure take place and when did the casino reopen your account?
  • Have you opened a new account or regained access to your old one?
  • Could you please share your original self-exclusion request? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at attila.g@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,

Attila

Hello,


The account was closed on June 30, 2026, and reopened without any problems a few hours later.


I have regained access to my old account.


I already posted the screenshots here, but I also just forwarded the emails to you.

Hello,


I received a response from the casino today. My refund request was rejected. In my opinion, they simply used the usual copy-and-paste arguments from their terms and conditions as justification.


They particularly emphasize that I confirmed I wasn't a gambling addict when I reopened my account. In my opinion, however, this argument is unconvincing. I had my account closed due to gambling addiction and reopened it shortly afterward. Gambling addiction doesn't disappear within a few days or weeks, and the casino should have recognized that.


Even if a longer period of time had passed, a reputable casino should not simply reopen an account after a self-exclusion due to gambling addiction.

Regardless of how much time has passed. These kinds of measures are precisely what serve to protect players.

Therefore, I believe that the reopening of my account constitutes a clear violation of the principles of player protection.

Thank you very much for providing the additional information. Could you please confirm whether you currently still have access to your account? If not, could you please advise on the exact date when the casino closed your account for the final time?

Additionally, could you please forward proof of the deposited funds?

I look forward to your reply.

Hello,


The casino closed my account again on July 3, 2026.


I cannot send you proof of the deposit as I do not have access to my casino account. I will send you a screenshot of my bank/Paysafe account.

But unfortunately, you can't see much there.

Hello,


I tried again to speak directly with the casino, but they maintain that they have done nothing wrong and refer me again to their terms and conditions. Screenshot attached.
