Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €2,000

Casinova
Safety Index:Above average

Case summary

The player from Germany struggled with gambling addiction and requested a permanent account closure with Casinova, which was confirmed but not executed in a timely manner, leading to further losses of 2000 euros. He sought assistance in recovering this amount. The Complaints Team concluded that the casino acted within a reasonable timeframe, as the account closure was processed the day after the self-exclusion request. Therefore, it was determined that the deposits made during the processing period were not refundable, and the complaint was rejected.

Hello everyone


The situation is as follows. Unfortunately, I have been addicted to gambling for some time now. Unfortunately, I cannot get away from it.

I registered with Casinova and gambled away 1000 euros or more. I then contacted the provider via email and asked for a permanent account closure due to gambling addiction. This was confirmed. Unfortunately, the account was not closed the next day and I gambled away another 2000 euros.

I hereby ask you to help me to at least get the 2000 euros back.


I hope to hear from you soon.


Thank you

Hello Jakka123,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Casinova Online Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

  • Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly?
  • How much was your balance when you requested for the exclusion?
  • Did you reply to the casino to confirm your request?
  • When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?


Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

Hi Nick


Thank you for the quick response.


My account was not yet verified and there were no funds left when I requested closure.

And yes, I replied and confirmed the closure again. See screenshots that I attached to my previous message.

Last contact was yesterday. I wrote an email to the casino but haven't received a response yet.

Deal all,

Kindly be informed that customer gaming account was indeed not closed in 24 hours time period as per our terms and conditions on our responsible gaming page, but please note that after that 24 hours period customer has no new deposits, and he had deposited only during the time frame we had to close his gaming account, therefor there is no refund that need to be done on our side.

Best Regards,

Casinova Team

This is incorrect. After you asked me whether I really wanted to close the account, the account should have been blocked immediately. Especially after mentioning my gambling addiction. Please review this again, as well as the legal situation. Otherwise, I will have to take legal action.

It's also worth mentioning that after the expiration of the deadline, i.e., within the 24 hours during which the account should have been closed, I was still able to play. If everything had been in order, this wouldn't have been possible. Furthermore, player protection should be a top priority, especially since I cited gambling addiction as the reason for the closure.

Dear Jakka123,


Can you tell me when exactly did you make the deposits after your self-exclusion request on the 27th of February?

Unfortunately, I can't say for sure, as my account has since been closed. I played that evening/night, then requested account closure, and played again the next evening. Casinova can probably provide the information.

Dear Casinova Team,


Could you tell me when exactly the player's account was closed after his request on the 27th of February? Was it on the 7th of March, as the player confirmed the closure here in the thread? Also, can you confirm for us when exactly the player made deposits after his self-exclusion request?

Dear Jakka123,


Unfortunately, I have to inform you that we will not be able to help you in this case. We believe that your account was closed in a reasonable timeframe, the day after your request, therefore the casino proceeded correctly, as the casinos need a certain time to process and complete the self-exclusion requests. Also, the deposits you've made were done the day after the self-exclusion request, which by our standards falls in the processing timeframe for the casino to complete the self-exclusion request, therefore it's not refundable.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be rejected. 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.
