Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: 45,000 CHF

CrownPlay Casino
Safety Index:Above average

Case summary

The player from Switzerland reported that money had been deleted from their account on the casino website, but no blocking had been applied. The issue involved a request for self-exclusion due to gambling addiction, which the player claimed had not been acted upon in a timely manner, leading to significant losses. The Complaints Team reviewed the situation and determined that the casino had acted within a reasonable timeframe by closing the account three days after the self-exclusion request. Consequently, the complaint was rejected as unjustified, and the player was deemed ineligible for a refund of the deposits made during the processing period.

Hello, this morning after I lost everything I received an email saying that I was being blocked. I had been begging them to block me for the last three days but nothing came after my winnings disappeared and I deposited another 12,000 and in the end I received a message 15 minutes later saying that if they had reacted a day or two earlier I would have saved 8-10,000 and not deposited it. I also begged my VIP manager several times to block me (was ignored). What I think now is that if you develop an addiction and report it several times you should block me immediately and not delay. I expect a refund/compensation because that is not fair. I am not doing well at the moment.

Not good, I don't know what to do if they had reacted just one day earlier... casinoguru, you are my last hope.

Thank you for your emails. Am I correct in understanding that the casino blocked your account three days after you informed them of your gambling addiction and requested closure of your account?

hello dear veronika


Unfortunately, my mental state is deteriorating, and the casino is playing for time. If they had reacted early enough and blocked me because of gambling addiction, I wouldn't have lost. But they're trying to pressure me into offering 4500, and I'm assuming that's not even 50%. That's fraud in my opinion, and legally too. I hope for a quick response from you.

Thank you for your email. I have checked the Responsible Gaming section of CrownPlay Casino, and this is what I found:

  • Self-exclusion request: you can contact Support Service Team via e-mail: support@crownplay.com, and we will close your account within next 24 hours. It's the player's responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts the player might have and promise not to open any other accounts. Our Website will make reasonable efforts to try to prevent the opening of new accounts but it's the player's sole responsibility to make sure no other accounts are created. Our Website cannot be held accountable for potential losses on other accounts;

I have still not received your initial self-exclusion request. In order to proceed with your complaint, I need solid evidence that you contacted the casino via the designated method of communication (email), requested to be self-excluded due to a gambling addiction, and that the casino responded but failed to close your account accordingly.

Thank you for your emails.

In your message to the casino on 18 July, you mentioned gambling addiction for the first time. Two days later, the casino responded by asking you to confirm your decision to permanently close your account. However, in your subsequent communications, you did not confirm this decision.

Could you please clarify when exactly your account was closed?

I want to mention that I mentioned this for the first time on July 16-17 in live chat and on the 17th I told my VIP manager how to speak. On July 18th I asked about it in the support live chat and manager why it was taking so long and to only miss 15 minutes on July 20th exactly 3 days after all the money is gone is really weird!




I'll quote again: As soon as I report a gambling addiction in writing (e.g., via live chat or email) or mention that I have it, the casino is obligated to act immediately—that is, to block my account immediately or at least temporarily deactivate it. They shouldn't wait and look for loopholes so they can swindle more money!


The fact that they only did this after you had lost the entire CHF 11,000 and only then reacted, three days too late, is highly questionable – both ethically and legally.

My account was blocked on July 20th, but if they had reacted 2-3 days earlier, or even just 1 day, everything could have been prevented, but Crownplay successfully carried out their fraud scheme.

Thank you for your reply. According to the available evidence, you submitted your self-exclusion request on 17 July, and the casino closed your account on 20 July. Please note that, in most casinos, self-exclusion requests are handled manually by the responsible departments. This process requires some time to ensure requests are handled appropriately and with the necessary attention.

From our perspective, CrownPlay Casino acted promptly and restricted your account access within a reasonable timeframe. Therefore, the casino cannot be held responsible for the deposits you made during the request-processing period.

As a result, you are unfortunately not eligible for a refund of these deposits. Regrettably, I have no choice but to reject your complaint as unjustified.


As part of our Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, we've partnered with BetBlocker, a UK-registered charity providing a free service to support people worldwide. You can find more information about our initiative here (https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative) and about BetBlocker here (https://betblocker.org/).

BetBlocker, which supports seven languages, is quick and easy to install on multiple devices, taking just 2 minutes. Once installed, it blocks access to over 84,230 gambling websites and runs quietly in the background. The service can be used anonymously and helps individuals manage their access to gambling safely and appropriately, whether that means complete restriction or limiting access during vulnerable periods. 

Additionally, BetBlocker includes a list of 824 gambling information sites. These sites primarily inform users about and advertise gambling services. You can choose to include these sites in your restriction by ticking a box. However, if you have an ongoing complaint against a gambling operator, do not check this box, as it will prevent you from accessing the Casino.Guru website as well.
