I would like to file a complaint regarding BillyBets.


My player account was closed by BillyBets on October 24, 2024, due to gambling addiction issues. I received confirmation of this from the VIP department.


Despite this clear ban, I was later able to continue playing on the platform and making deposits. In total, I deposited approximately €1,800 after the ban.


In my view, this constitutes a serious violation of player protection measures. Following a ban due to gambling addiction, further use of the account and the acceptance of deposits should not be possible.


I have already contacted the casino and requested a refund, but have not yet received a response.


I therefore request assistance in examining this case.


Best regards…

Dear Blackyblack,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the problem you’ve encountered.

Thank you for describing the situation. Based on what you’ve shared, the key point will be to determine whether the account closure for gambling addiction was properly enforced and what exactly happened afterward.

In order for us to proceed, I would like to kindly ask you to clarify a few important details:

  • Could you please confirm the exact dates when you made the deposits after your account was closed on October 24, 2024?
  • Were you able to log into the same account, or did you create a new account afterward?
  • If you have any emails, chat transcripts, or account screenshots confirming the closure and the subsequent activity, please upload them here or forward them to petronela.k@casino.guru.

These details will help us understand whether there was a failure in enforcing responsible gambling measures or if there were any other factors involved.

Your cooperation in providing these details will help us investigate and work towards a resolution.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Hi Blackyblack,

Please accept my apologies for the delayed reply, and thank you very much for all the information and evidence you have provided — it is very helpful.

I have reviewed the screenshots, including the confirmation of your account closure due to gambling addiction, your own request for self-exclusion, as well as the deposit history showing activity after that date. I understand why this situation is concerning.

Before we proceed further, I would like to kindly clarify a few additional points:

  • Have there been any new developments since your last message or any further response from the casino?
  • Could you please confirm whether your account is currently still accessible/active, or has it now been fully closed?
  • Was your account fully verified back in 2024, at the time of the closure?
  • Can you clarify how you found out that the account was still active? Were you able to log in again after the closure, or was the account never fully restricted in the first place?

Thank you in advance.

Hello Mrs. Petronela,


Thank you very much for your feedback and for further reviewing my case.


I will gladly answer your questions:


  1. Update: Since my last message, I have received no substantive feedback from the casino. I only received confirmation that my request has been forwarded to the relevant department.
  2. Account status: My account is currently inaccessible. When I try to log in, I get a message saying my account is being reviewed. This only started happening after the last message from Billybets.
  3. Verification: I cannot say with absolute certainty whether my account was fully verified in 2024. However, I was able to make deposits, so at least some use without apparent restrictions was possible.
  4. Usage after closure: After the confirmed account closure, I initially did not use the casino. However, I later received promotional emails from the casino and subsequently used their services again. At that time, I was able to log in and make deposits.


Only afterwards, during a GDPR inquiry and a review of my emails, did I notice that my account had already been closed on October 24, 2024, due to gambling addiction.


From my point of view, I should no longer have had access to the account from that point on, and no deposits should have been possible.


Thank you very much for your support in further investigating this matter.


Sincerely, Blackyblack

Hello Petronela,


I would like to inform you about the current status.


Today at 3:21 PM I received a response from BillyBets.


In this letter, my refund request is rejected with reference to the general terms and conditions.

Specifically, the casino argues that the use of the offer is my own responsibility and that there is no entitlement to a refund after the deposits have been used.


However, the casino's response completely ignores the crucial point of my request, namely the confirmed account closure due to gambling addiction on October 24, 2024, and the fact that I was nevertheless able to access the account and make further deposits at a later date.

In my view, this essential aspect was completely ignored.



I have already replied to the casino again, requesting a concrete statement on this point and setting a deadline.

I will keep you updated on further developments.


Thank you for your support.


Sincerely, Blackyblack

Hi Blackyblack,

Thank you very much for the information and documents you have provided.

To ensure we fully understand your case and assess it correctly, I have summarized the timeline of events based on the evidence you shared. Could you please review and confirm if everything below is accurate:

📅 Timeline

  • 24.10.2024 (20:39) - You contacted the casino requesting account closure due to gambling addiction.
  • 24.10.2024 (20:43) - The casino confirmed that your account was closed due to gambling addiction.
  • After 24.10.2024 - Despite this confirmed closure, your account appears to have remained accessible.
  • 17.02.2026 - Multiple deposits were successfully made to the same account (e.g. €400, €500, €400, etc.), indicating that the account was active and accepting payments.
  • 22.02.2026 - Additional deposit (€100 via bank transfer) was successfully processed.

Based on this timeline, it appears that your account was closed due to gambling addiction, but later allowed to be used again, including accepting deposits.


Could you please confirm:

  • That you did not request the account to be reopened at any point

Thank you in advance.
