Case summary

The player from Spain had addiction issues and used her wife's account to gamble, which her wife had requested to be closed. Despite this request, the account remained active, and he sought a refund of his invested funds. The Complaints Team clarified that the casino could not recognize his gambling issues since the account was registered under his wife's name, and they could not act on a closure request that was not explicitly linked to self-exclusion due to addiction. The complaint was closed as the player was using his wife's account to communicate, which hindered the ability to address the issue properly.

Dear Fuenvi,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your situation, and I understand how frustrating this must be for you.

However, it is still unclear who is writing the complaint. We received two different messages—one stating that the wife requested the account closure due to her husband's gambling problem, and another stating that the husband used his wife’s account to play.

Additionally, if the husband was the one gambling on the wife's account, how was the casino supposed to recognize that he was the one logging in and playing? If the account was under her name and credentials, the casino would have no way of knowing that a different person was using it unless there were clear signs of unauthorized access.

If you would like us to continue with this case, please clarify who is submitting the complaint and explain how the casino should have recognized the situation. Your cooperation is crucial for us to properly assess the issue and determine how we can assist.

Thank you in advance for your reply and cooperation.

Best regards,

Petronela

My wife requested the closure since I am excluded from everything, but I created an account in her name. If the account had been closed as she requested, this would not have happened. I am asking for the money for non-compliance.

Dear Fuenvi,

I understand your frustration, but there are some important points to clarify.

Since you played on your wife's casino account, the casino had no way of knowing that you have a gambling problem. The account is registered under her name, and from their perspective, it was her playing—not you. The casino can only act based on the information they have, and if the request for closure was not linked to a self-exclusion due to gambling addiction, they would not necessarily treat it as such.

Additionally, you are using your wife's Casino.Guru account to communicate with us, which makes it very difficult to determine who we are actually speaking with. We take privacy seriously and cannot discuss personal details on someone else's account.

To properly self-exclude and ensure that gambling restrictions are enforced, you should:

  1. Submit a self-exclusion request directly from an account registered in your name. Casinos cannot act on self-exclusion requests for accounts that do not belong to you.
  2. Ensure the request explicitly mentions that it is due to gambling addiction. Without this, the casino may not treat it as a responsible gambling request.
  3. Do not use other people's accounts to gamble. Self-exclusion will not work if you continue to access gambling platforms through someone else’s credentials.
  4. Your wife should change the password to prevent further access if she does not want you using her account.

If you would like to proceed with your complaint, please contact us from your own Casino.Guru account and provide details of your own casino account and self-exclusion request.

Dear Fuenvi,

I understand your frustration, but there are some important points to clarify.

Since you played on your wife’s casino account, the casino had no way of knowing that you have a gambling problem. The account is registered under her name, and from their perspective, it was her playing—not you. The casino can only act based on the information they have, and if the request for closure wasn’t linked to a self-exclusion due to gambling addiction, they wouldn’t necessarily treat it as such.

  • Your wife must change her password immediately if she does not want you using her account. This is crucial to prevent any further access to her account and ensure she can protect her personal information.

For future reference, please use your own account to play in casinos, access any websites, and if you have a gambling problem, your wife should not share her password for gambling sites with you.

As you are currently using your wife’s Casino.Guru account, we will now close this complaint. I’m sorry for any confusion this has caused, but we cannot discuss third-party matters in complaints submitted from specific accounts.

Thank you for understanding.

Best regards,

Petronela
