Good day,


On February 14, I first requested a blocking/deletion of my player account at the above-mentioned online casino – for self-protection. Many more emails followed, requesting my blocking. I also contacted the live chat. Since the first request for blocking, I have deposited €2,190, which I would like a refund, as the self-protection policy was not followed. Of course, I also want my data deleted and my account blocked. I would be very grateful for your help. Thank you very much!

Dear Jason12,

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

First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to protect the player.

On the other hand, self-exclusion represents a degree a protection. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to open this account, or if yes, only under particular circumstances.

  • When was the last time you were in contact with casino support, and what did you discuss?
  • Could you please specify the reason for closing your account?

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Most recently, I sent another email to my "VIP Manager" this morning, requesting that my account be deleted for my own protection. I am no longer interested in the game and want to protect myself. Yesterday, I contacted the live chat and was promised that my account would be blocked within the next hour. Unfortunately, this hasn't been implemented yet. I repeatedly used the terms "irrevocable block" and "self-protection" to make it clear that I no longer wish to use the game to protect myself.

Update - The player account is still open. I continue to request an immediate closure for my own protection, as well as a refund of any deposits made after the initial closure request. I would be so grateful for your help.

Thanks for the update.

Please understand that if you haven't informed the casino about suffering from any gambling problems, they might not act to protect you. Based on the information you provided thus far, we can't conclude the online casino should have protected you from making deposits and playing and therefore can't ask the casino to refund you.

Please let me know when the casino allowed you to deposit the disputed amount and whether there is further communication in which you asked the casino for player protection. Share this evidence with me at tomas@casino.guru

I recommend you send another self-exclusion request, but this time, please include me in the copy of the email.

When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the time period. Also, the email "Subject" should be clearly 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 BassBet Casino Support,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be excluded immediately 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."

Please send another email to your VIP manager and a separate email to support@bassbet.com (you can include me in the copy at tomas@casino.guru) and keep me informed about any further developments. Thanks in advance for your reply.

Hello Tomas,


Thank you for your feedback.


I sent another email to the VIP manager and support. I've included a copy of your email.


I have also forwarded you a few emails.


In my opinion, a refund of the deposits would be legitimate, as I repeatedly used the words "irrevocable" and "self-protection." For me, this implies that I want to close my player account to protect myself from further deposits due to gambling addiction/risk.


Please take a look at the emails I sent so we can initiate a refund.


Thank you for your help.

Update - Over 24 hours ago, I submitted the self-exclusion request using the example above. My player account is still open. The VIP Manager sent me an email with bonus offers at 7:00 PM today. There was no response to my exclusion request.


This shows that the online casino does not take player protection into account (no matter how meaningful the subject or the content of the email is), does not close the account (despite the statement of gambling addiction) and even sends additional bonus offers.


I find it unbelievable how this online casino neglects its duty to implement player protection. I can only advise everyone not to play here at this time and continue to request a refund of my deposits.

Hello Jason12, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej, and I will be assisting you with this case. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. While waiting for the casino to reply, would you be able to either upload here or e-mail me (matej.l@casino.guru) your cashier history with all the deposits and withdrawals since 04/04/2025? That would be very helpful.


I’d like to invite a representative of BassBet Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue with self-exclusion and clarify the situation? I would also appreciate if you can provide us with any and all relevant evidence.  

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Hello Matej,


First of all, thank you very much for your help. I sent a list of deposits by email. Since April 4, I've been able to deposit a total of another €400. There have been no withdrawals.


However, I would like to emphasize again that I already requested an irrevocable deletion of my player account for self-protection on February 14th. Since February 14th, I have been able to deposit a total of over €2,400. I request your assistance in enforcing this amount, or at least a partial amount, and, of course, in self-exclusion.


Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the provided details, I can confirm I have the e-mail and uploaded it amongst the evidence for this case, onto our system. Unfortunately, we will not be able to enforce the refund of all the money you have deposited, and I will try to explain the reason behind this below. However, your account has not been closed within the reasonable time, so partial refund is in place. Here is the deal:


While it is true you have requested an account closure since February, you have not stated a reason being gambling addiction. Normally, when asking for an account closure and stating the reason being you just don't want to play in the casino anymore (or not stating a reason at all), you have an option of simply stop playing. It's the same as if you had a bad experience in a restaurant and stopped going there for your meals. Also, it is a common practice amongst players after incurring a heftier loss, to say in the heat of the moment they want the casino to close their account. Few days later they ask for it to be re-opened and they play as usual. Some players even use this as an opportunity to get some kind of a cashback or a bonus play from the casino. In all of these cases, it is assumed that the player is fully capable of making decisions for themselves, and they play only because they want to and can stop at any time. Nothing forces them to spend more money in the casino, so anything that is deposited between the request of account closure and the actual closure, is not enforceable.


Now if the player asks for an account closure and clearly states they have a gambling problem - this is completely different story. Gambling addicts are not in control of their own compulsive behaviour, and can easily spend all their money in the casino and ruin their lives. That is why such cases needs to be taken care of with utmost importance and care. In such cases account should be closed ASAP (or at least the options for depositing and playing games should be disabled) so the player is safe. If the casino ignores such urgent request and allows the player to keep depositing and losing money even longer - before finally closing the account - in such cases we believe the player is entitled for their deposits to be returned (minus any winnings withdrawn in the meantime) if those deposits happened between the self-exclusion request and an actual account closure.


As you have requested proper self-exclusion only at around the beginning of the April, we can't request refunds of anything deposited beforehand. We will now wait for the casino to finally close the account without the option for re-opening, then we'll try to mediate the refund.

Hello Matej,


I just contacted the casino's live chat to inquire about the current status of the refund process. I also asked what other information they need from me to initiate the refund.


Apparently, no note regarding the verification was left, and I was asked to send an email to support regarding my request. I sent a screenshot of the Bassbet representative's response above to the live chat, but I was still told to submit another request via email.


How can this be? I'm starting to get really angry and find it truly unfortunate how Bassbet treats its users. Constantly stalling.

Hello everyone,


First of all, thank you for your help and response. I can confirm that I received an email from Bassbet Support about an hour ago with a refund offer. I responded to the email and accepted the offer. I also asked them to let me know what information/documents are needed to process the refund. Now I just need a response and the payment to be processed.

If someone can also confirm the agreed refund sum, I can adjust the disputed amount within this complaint.
