Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €255

BillyBets Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Germany had requested immediate account closure due to gambling addiction but faced delays and received no response after following up with the relevant department. Despite his insistence during a live chat, his account had remained active. The account was eventually closed by the casino on January 23, 2026, one day after the self-exclusion request was submitted. The complaint was rejected as unjustified because the casino had acted promptly within a reasonable timeframe to restrict account access, and deposits made during the processing period were not eligible for a refund. The player was informed about the Global Self-Exclusion Initiative and BetBlocker as additional support resources.

Yesterday, I asked in live chat to close my account due to gambling addiction!!

I was asked to send an email to the relevant department. During the live chat, I insisted that the account be immediately restricted and deleted. According to the live chat, this is not possible. I then asked the relevant department (I received an email from the live chat) to close and delete the account immediately due to gambling addiction.


I received a response within a few minutes, expressing their regret and explaining the reasons!!


So I wrote to them again and explained that I'm a gambling addict!?!


And since then, no response. Things used to be very quick!

Dear andreastueker,

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

Thank you for your emails. Could you please let me know whether your account is still open, or if it has been closed in the meantime? If your account has been closed, please specify the exact date when the casino closed it.

Additionally, if you have had any further communication with the casino’s customer support in the meantime, please forward it to me as well: veronika.f@casino.guru.

Dear andreastueker,

According to the available evidence, you submitted your self-exclusion request on 22 January, and the casino closed your account on 23 January. Please note that, in most casinos, self-exclusion requests are handled manually by the responsible departments. This process requires some time to ensure requests are handled appropriately and with the necessary attention.

From our perspective, BillyBets Casino acted promptly and restricted your account access within a reasonable timeframe. Therefore, the casino cannot be held responsible for the deposits you made during the request-processing period.

As a result, you are unfortunately not eligible for a refund of these deposits. Regrettably, I have no choice but to reject your complaint as unjustified.

Best regards

Veronika


As part of our Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, we've partnered with BetBlocker, a UK-registered charity providing a free service to support people worldwide. You can find more information about our initiative here (https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative) and about BetBlocker here (https://betblocker.org/).

BetBlocker, which supports seven languages, is quick and easy to install on multiple devices, taking just 2 minutes. Once installed, it blocks access to over 84,230 gambling websites and runs quietly in the background. The service can be used anonymously and helps individuals manage their access to gambling safely and appropriately, whether that means complete restriction or limiting access during vulnerable periods. 

Additionally, BetBlocker includes a list of 824 gambling information sites. These sites primarily inform users about and advertise gambling services. You can choose to include these sites in your restriction by ticking a box. However, if you have an ongoing complaint against a gambling operator, do not check this box, as it will prevent you from accessing the Casino.Guru website as well.
