ElaBet Casino - Player requests refund for lost deposits.

Resolved
Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: €1,200

ElaBet Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Greece had previously self-excluded. However, the casino allowed him to make a deposit despite the existing self-exclusion. The player therefore requested a refund of the full deposited amount and considered the casino’s customer support response insufficient. We investigated the case by requesting detailed information and evidence from the player and engaged with the casino to clarify the situation. The player confirmed that three deposits totaling €1200 were accepted despite the self-exclusion and remained unresolved. The complaint was ultimately marked as resolved after the player confirmed the issue had been addressed by the Greek gaming authority.

While I was on indefinite self-exclusion at this company, I was allowed to open a new account, make a deposit, and play, which is expressly prohibited by responsible gaming rules. Also, deposits were made that never showed up in my account.

Customer service is unacceptable, I am asking for my entire deposit back, which is €1700.

Dear marfor,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the situation you describe, particularly regarding the self-exclusion and the missing deposited funds.

To help us clearly understand what happened and assess how we can proceed with your case, could you please clarify the following points:

  • When did you originally request indefinite self-exclusion, and did the casino confirm it in writing?
  • Did you reopen an existing account or register a completely new account when you were later able to deposit and play?
  • Were any of the deposited funds credited or partially credited to your casino balance, or did they never appear at all?

If you have any emails, screenshots, payment confirmations, or self-exclusion confirmations related to this issue, please feel free to forward them to petronela.k@casino.guru so we can review them in detail.

Your cooperation in providing these details will help us investigate and work towards a resolution.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Dear marfor,

Thank you very much for your detailed reply and for providing the additional information and attachments. I’m sorry to hear about the circumstances you describe, especially regarding the handling of your self-exclusion and the deposits.

To make sure we fully understand the situation and can assess the case fairly, I would like to ask a few more clarifying questions:

  • When creating the second account (dimi**********olis@hotmail.com), did you enter exactly the same personal details as with the original self-excluded account (for example: full name, date of birth, address, ID number)?
  • If not, could you please specify what information was different?
  • Is the second account currently closed or still active? If it has been closed, do you have a written confirmation from the casino?


As a reminder, our assessment will focus on two key aspects:

  • whether the casino failed to properly enforce an indefinite self-exclusion, and
  • whether any deposits were successfully taken but not credited to your casino balance.

Your cooperation in clarifying these points and providing supporting evidence will help us investigate and work towards a resolution.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

  • When creating the second account (dimi********** olis@hotmail.com ), I entered exactly the same personal information as in the original account.



  • The 2nd account is not closed, it is in a pending status and I have not received any written confirmation from the casino.



  • As I told you, I made 4 deposits. Of these, only the last one was returned to me yesterday, as when I made it, my account was under review and I did not have access. I am still requesting the 3 deposits that should not have been accepted, namely €1200.

Hello marfor,

We would like to update you that due to Petronela, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Petronela 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 Petronela will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Dear marfor,

Thank you for your cooperation and for providing all the necessary information. I truly appreciate the time and effort you’ve taken to share everything with us so far.

Your complaint will now move to the next stage of our process and be handled by your dedicated Resolver, Matej (matej.l@casino.guru). This is a standard step in our procedure, as the Resolver will take over communication with the casino directly and manage your case from this point onward.

No action is required from you right now. Your Resolver will reach out through this thread if any additional details are needed. You can rest assured that your case is in very capable hands.

I wish you the best of luck and hope your case will be resolved to your satisfaction soon.


PS: I would like to explain why the disputed amount has been adjusted in your complaint.

Originally, the total amount mentioned was €1,700. However, based on your latest confirmation and the evidence provided, one of the deposits was already returned to you (the deposit made while the account was under review and inaccessible).

As a result, the amount that remains unresolved and under dispute is now €1,200, corresponding to the three deposits that were accepted despite the existing indefinite self-exclusion and should not have been processed.
