Dear Charliejoe1234,

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

First, I’d like to clarify the difference between account closure and self-exclusion:

  • Closing an account is a simple process with minimal impact—players can reopen their accounts at any time, and the casino has no ongoing obligations toward them.
  • Self-exclusion, on the other hand, comes with stricter restrictions. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to reopen the account, except under specific circumstances (such as after a cooling-off period, but never for players with gambling problems).

Could you please forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino, along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika

Dear Charliejoe1234,


Thank you for your response. We are concerned to hear that you have resent the email, as it is still not appearing in our system despite our thorough checks.


Dear Igor,


Since the direct emails are not coming through for some reason, would it be possible for you to receive the email from the player and forward it to us? We want to ensure that the player’s sensitive information reaches us securely so we can proceed.


To be transparent about the situation: we have offered a refund of the player's losses. To process this, we need their preferred payment method—either Bank Transfer or Crypto wallet—along with the necessary details.


Once we receive this information, we will be able to finalize the transaction.


Thank you for your assistance and mediation in this case.


Best regards,

Bankonbet Casino Team
