Case summary

The player from Germany faced an issue with a €120 credit card deposit that was debited but not credited to his casino account. We involved the casino, extended the response time, and later the missing €120 was paid out in USDT, which resolved the original deposit issue. He then raised a separate self-exclusion-related refund claim of about €1,560, but after reviewing the evidence we found no breach of the casino’s procedures, as the request was made before he had an account and the casino closed his account on the same day he registered. As the original complaint was addressed and the remaining self-exclusion claim was not upheld, we closed the case as rejected.

Hello, a €120 credit card deposit was debited but has not been credited to my casino account.


The casino also confirmed to me that there was a technical error and said that the €120 would be refunded.

The casino also gave me an RNN number, claiming that the money had been sent.


The problem is that the casino issued a refund to my credit card, which, according to my bank, is technically impossible. Unfortunately, my credit card doesn't have the option to accept deposits.

Therefore, the refund must have arrived back at the casino.


I have tried to explain this to the casino several times over the past few days, but I haven't received a response yet.


The fact is that I never received the refund of the 120 € and the casino has ignored me since then

I paid by credit card.

All other deposits were successful, except this one.


As soon as I contacted the casino, they confirmed the error and promised a refund, which never arrived.


I forwarded it to you.

Hello, unfortunately, I don't have anything in writing from the bank. I went there and asked, but they just told me that it's not possible to make deposits to my credit card.


I then sent the casino my credit card statement to prove this.

The casino just said it would check again... but I haven't heard anything back

Dear xSerious169,

I apologize, but since we haven’t received any response from the casino regarding the issue, we cannot continue resolving this complaint, and we are forced to close it as ‘unresolved.’

Normally, in order to reach any kind of agreement, all three parties (player, casino, and mediator) need to communicate closely. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and we were left alone in our attempt to solve this issue.

I am very sorry I couldn't be of more help, but at least closing this complaint as unresolved will negatively influence the casino's rating, and other players can read about your experience in our review.

The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.

Best regards,

Romi

Hello everyone,


This case has been reopened on casino's request. We'd like to thank CasinoGuru for the opportunity to review and potentially solve the issue.


Since the original complaint was submitted, our platform has undergone significant changes, therefore, in order to resolve your missing deposit as quickly as possible, we would like to invite you to create an account at BetterWin.com. If you already have a cryptocurrency wallet (or are able to create one), the refund process can be completed much more efficiently through our new platform.


Once your account has been created, please reply here or contact our support team with your BetterWin username (or the email address used for registration) together with your preferred cryptocurrency. We will then review the details and proceed with resolving your case as quickly as possible.


We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced and appreciate your cooperation. We look forward to resolving this matter for you.


Kind regards,

The BetterWin Team

Hello,


Thank you for your interest in solving the problem.


The issue is that I created an account with them in February 2025.

On February 20th, I requested a self-exclusion due to gambling addiction, which unfortunately was not implemented.

I have made several attempts to contact them via email or live chat.

I was told that the email containing information about my gambling addiction could not be found, therefore the account was not closed immediately.


After I presented evidence, they acknowledged the mistake and apologized. The case was then forwarded, and I was supposed to receive a response.

Unfortunately, I never received another email after that. Contact was lost.

I then requested information regarding the GDPR, but never received a reply.


I made deposits totaling approximately €1560 from my account at that time. The exact amount would need to be verified again, but that's roughly it.

I never made a withdrawal.

All deposits were made using crypto or credit card.

I therefore request that you credit this amount to my new account so that I can withdraw it.

Dear xSerious169,

Could you please confirm the amount you have received from BetterWin Casino and clarify what this payment relates to? This will help me identify which issue has been resolved.

Additionally, regarding your recent inquiry about a refund of deposits due to what you believe was an incorrect implementation of your self-exclusion, could you please provide some further details and clarify whether this relates to circumstances that occurred before or after the "original" issue?

I look forward to your clarification.

Hello, these two things are related.

I always wanted a refund of my entire deposit, except that one deposit never arrived and the other deposits are to be refunded by the casino due to a failed self-exclusion.


Both things happened at the same time.

And since the casino asked for details, I answered them directly.


I would be very happy if this could also be resolved.

Dear xSerious169,

Thank you for your response.

I understand that, from your perspective, the two matters are connected. I will also enquire with the casino team to clarify their position and understand whether they consider the matters connected as well.

At the same time, as a dispute mediator, I need to establish which part of the original complaint has already been resolved and whether the resolution reflects the circumstances of the case. The casino has confirmed to us that the payment concerning the original missing-deposit issue was made, so I would appreciate it if you could also confirm whether you have received this payment and what amount you received.

Regarding the self-exclusion-related refund, I understand that you are still seeking a resolution from the casino. If this is indeed connected to the original issue, I will take that into consideration when reviewing the case. If, however, it concerns separate transactions and circumstances, it may need to be treated separately from the matter that was originally brought to us.

I will clarify this with the casino team so that I can have a better understanding of their position as well. Once I have your and their response, we should be in a better position to determine whether there is still a reason for this complaint to remain open.

Dear Michal,

to answer your questions directly and precisely:


Yes, I hereby formally confirm the receipt of exactly €120 in USDT in my crypto wallet.


However, I consider this €120 only as a partial payment towards the total claim.


The casino itself has initiated an investigation in this public thread into the details of the failed self-exclusion (approximately €1,560). I am currently in direct email contact with the casino team regarding this matter.


Since the casino initiated this review itself as part of its reopening, I ask that you leave the complaint open until you receive a response from the casino and the overall situation is clarified. Should the casino refuse to investigate, we can still make a decision – but as long as the email exchange continues, the matter remains unresolved for me.


I expect this issue to be resolved within the next few days.


Best regards,

xSerious169

Dear xSerious169,

Thank you for your response confirming that the original reason for this complaint has been resolved.



Dear BetterWin Casino,

I'm glad the original reason for this case has been resolved.

I would like to kindly request more information regarding the ongoing investigation related to what the player perceives as a failure in their self-exclusion process.

I completely understand that you are communicating with the player directly regarding this matter, and I have no issue with that. However, as an independent dispute mediator, I would appreciate being kept informed of the situation, as this helps me better understand the circumstances and assess whether an appropriate resolution can or has been reached.

If any aspects of this matter cannot be shared publicly, I would be grateful if you could provide me with the relevant details privately at michal.k@casino.guru.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I would also like to add that the casino has suddenly stopped responding to my emails, which I find very unfortunate.


Initially, every email was answered and apologies were even offered for the delay, but suddenly all communication ceased.

I was really optimistic about resolving the issue with the casino, but for reasons I still cannot explain, the casino is no longer responding to any of my emails.

I find this very unfortunate and it shows that the casino is not willing to resolve this case for me.

Hi, that's exactly the point. As soon as an email couldn't be delivered or wasn't sent successfully, I always get a notification. Just like what happened in your case.


All emails I sent to the casino were successfully delivered. I never received any notification that an email could not be sent.


I've forwarded you everything else I could find.

Unfortunately, it was a very long time ago and I no longer have everything in my email inbox.


For example, I unfortunately miss the live chat from March 1, 2025, in which I was told, referring to my email, that I had to create an account and that it would be blocked immediately.

Dear xSerious169,

I have received the emails you sent to my alternative work address. I have also received further information and supporting evidence from the casino team.

According to the casino’s records, no email from you was received on February 20. As your messages were sent through your @web.de email account, which appears to have experienced delivery issues with multiple recipients—including my primary work address—the casino team could not reasonably have been aware of your intention at that time.

Moreover, even if the casino had received your email, you had not yet registered an account, and your email address was therefore not present in its system. In such circumstances, we do not consider the casino obligated to proactively block an email address belonging to a person who is not yet registered. Given your history of similar complaints, I am somewhat puzzled by your actions, as you have previously been informed that we do not consider preventive self-exclusion to be a mandatory responsible gambling measure.

You created your casino account on 1 March 2025. The casino received your self-exclusion request later that day and closed your account on the same day. Based on the available information and evidence, the casino acted in accordance with its standard procedures.

You have also previously been advised by my colleagues of the recommended steps to follow in such situations.

Having carefully reviewed the information and evidence provided by both parties, I have found nothing to suggest that the casino failed to comply with its Terms and Conditions or generally accepted industry standards in this matter.

While casinos are expected to apply appropriate responsible gambling measures, players also bear significant responsibility for their own actions. This includes refraining from registering with or depositing at a casino, particularly after having already requested not to be allowed to play there.

Consequently, I cannot agree with your claim that the casino failed to implement the self-exclusion limitation on your account in a reasonable time, and thus your request to refund the funds you normally lost is unjustified in this case.

I understand this is not the outcome you have hoped for; however, as mentioned, I have found nothing to suggest that the casino failed to comply with its Terms and Conditions or generally accepted industry standards in this matter.

You are entitled to pursue this matter with the appropriate authorities if you still believe your stance is justified; however, we are not able to provide any further assistance. Feel free to let me know of the authorities' decision, should you opt for this route at michal.k@casino.guru.

With all this being said, and considering the core issue of this case has been resolved, can I proceed with closing this case as clarified/addressed?

Hello Michal,

I completely disagree with the conclusion of the case.

First, regarding the email: I successfully delivered the email from February 20th. If there had been a delivery problem at web.de, I would have immediately received an automatic error message (bounce email). That was definitely not the case; the email therefore reached the casino.

Regarding the registration process: I had already contacted live chat beforehand. The only reason I created an account in the first place was precisely because of this conversation. The explicit goal was to have the account blocked immediately after creation. The fact that the casino didn't block the account afterward and I was instead able to deposit and play normally is a clear failure of player protection.

I am very aware of my responsibility. That's precisely why I openly inform EVERY casino that I am a gambling addict and want to be banned to protect myself. If the casino ignores such warnings and simply leaves an account open that has been set up for banning, they are ultimately shifting the blame carelessly onto the player.

Incidentally, it's no secret in the industry that complaint portals in such cases tend to rule in favor of casino operators with striking frequency.

I therefore urge you to objectively review these points and the available evidence once again and not simply close the case.

Best regards

Dear xSerious169,

I acknowledge your response. However, you once again appear to be following the same pattern of conduct that my colleagues have already addressed in your previous complaints.

While you are certainly entitled to contact casinos in advance, this does not mean that they are required to act on your requests immediately, particularly when you do not yet hold an account with them.

As we have explained to you on several occasions, we do not consider preventive self-exclusion to be a mandatory responsible gambling measure. For your reference, and anyone else following this thread, you can review, for example, this case https://casino.guru/complaints/1red-casino-player-demands-refund-after-account-issue

Furthermore, we are not aware of any official decision by a recognised authority confirming that casinos are required to apply preventive self-exclusion to individuals who do not yet hold an account with them. If you have received an official ruling from an appropriate authority that supports your own interpretation, please forward it to me for review at michal.k@casino.guru.

As I have already explained the reasons for our conclusion, I do not believe that further discussion of the same points would be productive.

The central issue raised in this complaint has been addressed, and you have received the €120 in question. However, as you have not confirmed that the complaint may be classified as Resolved, I will now proceed with closing it as Rejected.

I would like to thank the casino team for its cooperation throughout the complaint-resolution process.

You are entitled to disagree with our conclusion and may pursue your case with the casino’s licensing authority or another competent body in your jurisdiction if you truly believe your position is justified.

Should you receive a formal ruling from the competent authority in your favour, you may forward it to me at michal.k@casino.guru for review.

If you encounter any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please feel free to reach out to us, and we will try our best to help.

Michal
