Player stopped responding

Amount: €400

BillyBets Casino
Safety Index 6.7 Above average

Case summary

The player from Germany had requested account closure at Billy Bets due to gambling addiction, but her account had remained active a week later despite multiple emails and no response. She had been concerned, as she had still been able to deposit over €400 during that time. The account was eventually closed on March 7th, after which the player lost access and could not provide exact deposit details. Due to the player's lack of response to further inquiries from the Complaints Team, the investigation could not be continued and the complaint was closed for the time being.

About a week ago, I sent numerous emails to Billy Bets requesting that my account be closed due to gambling addiction. I clearly described my situation, but unfortunately, the account is still active. I never received a reply, despite writing multiple times. During that time, I was even able to deposit more than €400!

Dear Ramona1987,

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

I don't understand what I'm supposed to reply. I sent them the emails. They blocked my account after 8-9 days.

Hello Ramona1987,

We would like to update you that due to Veronika, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Veronika has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Veronika will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Hi Ramona1987,

Thank you very much for providing the emails and additional information.

Based on what you have shared, I have prepared the following timeline of events:

  • 27.02.2026 (15:16) – You requested immediate account closure
  • 27.02.2026 (16:11) – You clearly stated that you are suffering from gambling addiction
  • 27.02.2026 (17:31) – You followed up again requesting closure
  • 28.02.2026 (00:18) – Another request to block your account
  • 28.02.2026 (10:31) – You again stated that you are addicted and asked for help
  • 28.02.2026 (13:14) – You reported that you are not receiving any response
  • 03.03.2026 – You escalated the situation to the regulator (MGA)

Additionally, I would like to acknowledge that your emails were sent to the correct support email address (cs@billybets.com), which is officially listed in the casino’s Terms & Conditions and responsible gaming section. This confirms that you followed the proper procedure when submitting your self-exclusion request.

From this timeline, it is clear that:

  • you explicitly informed the casino about your gambling problem,
  • you requested account closure multiple times, and
  • you did not receive a response within a reasonable timeframe.

This is very important for assessing the casino’s responsibility.

To proceed further, I would kindly ask you to confirm the following:

  • When exactly was your account finally closed?
  • Did you make any deposits or incur losses after 27–28.02.2026? If yes, please specify the amounts and dates.

These details will help us determine whether there are grounds to request a refund for any losses incurred after your request.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Unfortunately, I can't see the exact amount because I no longer have access to the website. It should be around 300-400 euros.

Hi Ramona1987,

Thank you for your reply and for the additional information provided.

  • Did you receive any acknowledgment or response from the casino prior to 07.03.2026 (before the account closure confirmation)? This could include any reply via email or live chat.
  • Additionally, if possible, could you please provide any payment receipts or transaction records showing the dates and amounts of your deposits made after 27–28.02.2026? This will help us verify the losses incurred during that period.

These details are very important for us to properly evaluate the case and determine the next steps.

Thank you.
