Bitguruz Casino - Player's account closure request was ignored.

Closed
Our verdict

Insufficient evidence from player

Amount: $500

Bitguruz Casino
Safety Index 8.6 High

Case summary

The player from the Czech Republic had submitted multiple requests to permanently close his casino account on May 12, 2026, but the casino had failed to act, allowing him to continue depositing and playing for over a week. After his account was finally closed, his request for a refund of approximately 500 USD in net losses was refused. The complaint was resolved by clarifying that only self-exclusion requests with clear evidence of gambling problems could be considered for refund claims. Since the player did not provide sufficient proof of self-exclusion, the complaint was closed without a refund. The player was advised on how to properly request self-exclusion and was offered resources for gambling assistance.

On 12.05.2026 I sent multiple clear requests to permanently close my account (at 16:30, 19:06 and confirmed by email at 19:50).


Instead of closing the account, the casino continued to offer and push bonuses. Although I weakly replied to some bonus offers on 14.05, I never cancelled my closure request.


According to their own policy they imposed a 24-hour cool-down period, after which the account should have been closed. Instead the account remained open for more than 7 days. I was able to deposit and play until 19.05.2026 and lost approx. 500 USD during this period.


On [19.5] I sent a formal demand for closure + refund. The account was finally closed, but the refund was refused.


I believe the casino failed in its responsible gaming obligations by not closing the account in time despite repeated requests.


Attached are full screenshots of:

- All my closure requests (12.05.)

- Bonus conversations (14.05.)

- Deposits and gameplay after 12.05.

- Their final refusal


Requested resolution: Full refund of net losses after 12.05.2026 (~500 USD)

Dear Fylyp,

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 specify the reason for closing your account? Additionally, would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at attila.g@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Attila

Dear Fylyp,

I understand how upsetting it can be to feel that a casino hasn’t protected you properly, and I’m sorry for the frustration this situation has caused. However, we won’t be able to assist further in this matter. The self-exclusion request, where a player stated the gambling problem clearly, is the essential evidence that each player must provide in order for us to proceed with a case like this.

Since you do not have sufficient proof to support your case, and your account has been closed, we cannot handle this complaint as a failed self-exclusion and request a refund. I can only recommend how to request self-exclusion properly in the future if you feel like gambling has become challenging for you.

When applying for self-exclusion, state the reason why you want your account to be deactivated clearly and specify the time period. Also, the email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable, as casino support receives many requests per day; hence, if it’s visibly marked, you stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible. I would also strongly recommend that you always save your self-exclusion request so that you have valid proof of such action.


Example:


Email subject: Self-exclusion


Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

DOB:

Casino login:

Email address:



"Greetings xxx xxx,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (lifetime).

The reason that preceded my decision is xxx (gambling addiction)

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."


Also, I would like to call your attention to our Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative/assistance-tool This tool will make it easier for you to block your casino accounts across multiple gambling establishments simultaneously and is not affiliated with any specific casino. The Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool was designed to assist individuals who may be facing challenges with their gambling habits by helping them limit their access to gambling and reduce the potential for further harm.

Above all, if gambling no longer brings you joy and is becoming a burden, it is highly advisable to seek professional assistance. I strongly recommend reaching out to centers in your country that specialize in addressing gambling problems. You can find some of these centers by referring to the following link (https://casino.guru/problem-gambling-help-centers#cnt_87=true)


This complaint will now be closed. Thank you for your understanding. I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
