Thank you for all the provided information and evidence, Betista Casino team.
Dear Dren99,
I have been in contact with the casino team outside of this complaint thread, and some additional insights have come to light. I have also consulted your case with my colleagues from the complaints team, and together we have reviewed your case, along with others in similar situations. Below is our position on the matter:
While you did seem to send your self-exclusion requests from November 7, 2025 and November 26, 2025 to the correct email address (support@betista801735.com), which was active at the time, we have been provided with evidence showing that among the 20+ emails you sent to the support team, the first one concerning self-exclusion was successfully received by them on December 16, 2025. Your emails from November 7, 2025 and November 26, 2025 were not successfully received.
As part of the evidence requested for our independent review, we were also provided with confirmation that emails from other players using the same email service (@gmx.de) were successfully delivered throughout November and December, which indicates there was no issue on the casinos email inbox side.
Only after receiving your self-exclusion request on December 16 did the casino team take appropriate and prompt action to close your account.
While I acknowledge your statement that during live chat sessions you did not reiterate your previous self-exclusion requests—on the basis that they had already been submitted via email—this, however, does not meet the actions we recommend under our Fair Gambling Codex: How to Avoid Issues as a Player

At Casino Guru, we strongly emphasize the importance of addressing responsible gambling concerns promptly. At the same time, it is important to recognize that a significant portion of responsibility also lies with the player. There are several tools available that can assist in blocking access to gambling sites or reducing potential losses.
You had the opportunity to inquire about your self-exclusion request via livechat, as it is crucial to take measures that safeguard your best interests, particularly given the significant delay in receiving responses to your emails.
It is also essential to take into account the larger context, as you have faced a similar situation in the past and were made aware of the actions that can be taken to avert such incidents.
Furthermore, in this case, your self-exclusion request appears to have been primarily motivated by dissatisfaction with the bonuses offered at that time, rather than solely by gambling addiction concerns.
Please note that self-exclusion and other responsible gambling tools are designed to help players prevent or reduce unintended losses. They are not intended as a means to request refunds for losses incurred through voluntary gameplay.
Given all of the above, we regret to inform you that we do not consider your request for a refund of lost funds to be justified.
I understand that this conclusion may not be the one you were hoping for. However, since your self-exclusion request was successfully received by the casino team on December 16, 2025, it is not possible to refund losses incurred prior to that date. You are, of course, entitled to disagree with this decision and may contact the relevant regulatory authority if you believe your position is justified. However, based on the reasons outlined above, we cannot provide further assistance with this matter and will proceed to close this case as rejected.
I am sorry we could not be of more assistance on this occasion.
Should you face any casino-related issues or concerns regarding casino games in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will try our best to assist you.
Best regards,
Michal
