Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I am truly sorry about your negative experience with Flagman Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • If you did not receive any replies via email, have you tried reaching out to the casino through live chat or other official communication channels?
  • Could you please confirm whether you have passed the KYC verification in this casino?
  • Could you please share your communication with the casino? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at attila.g@casino.guru, or post screenshots here.

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

Hello.


Thank you for your quick response.


I haven't received a reply to my email. However, I communicated via live chat before and after, and that's how I received the email. Unfortunately, I don't have any screenshots of the live chat, as I didn't know what to expect. The casino's support team can confirm this, or perhaps they still have access to the chat. The message exchange went on for quite a while. I completed all the necessary verifications at the casino. I linked my account, and I had to send pictures of my ID. I also had to confirm my phone number and email address. Incidentally, the email address I used to contact support is exactly the same. As I said, I don't have any screenshots of the live chat, only of the email exchanges, which I'm attaching here. It's also important to note: This casino is structured exactly the same as "Lex Casino," which means I think they have the same system and the same owner. I was also banned from that casino due to gambling addiction. With this account I now have at Flagman Casino, everything is exactly the same – all my data and all my information. You can imagine what that means. It simply provides a lot of points of attack.


Thank you, Attila, for your help.

Thank you for your response. Please understand that Flagman Casino does not operate with a license issued by Germany, therefore, they do not have access to the national register. In other words, because Flagman Casino operates without a necessary license, it is not possible for them to comply with Germany-specific responsible gambling measures, such as the national registry (OASIS). Unfortunately, for this reason, we are unable to help you claim reimbursement for your losses unless you informed the casino about your gambling problem before depositing


Further, I would like to point out that online casinos act as separate entities - what you request in an online casino affects your account in that casino only. In online casinos operating under GCB license, you'll need to request self-exclusion due to gambling problems in each online casino where you have an open account. That is because self-exclusion across brands isn't mandated by the licensors and only a few groups of casinos operating under this license go beyond to offer such protection. If you don't request a self-exclusion in an online casino, you can't expect to be protected.


Kindly be aware that without adequate evidence indicating that you expressed gambling concerns which the casino failed to acknowledge, we will not be able to request refunds of your deposits from the casino. I completely empathize with how disappointing it must be to feel unprotected by the casino, but gambling establishments are only required to implement responsible gaming measures when gambling-related issues are explicitly stated.


Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with, or if we may close this complaint.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Attila

Hi Attila, thanks for the quick reply. I wanted to clarify that I notified them by email two days before placing this bet. I also mentioned this in the live chat. I didn't wait until after the bet, but contacted them two days in advance. In the live chat, I requested a refund and explained that I have a serious gambling problem and am addicted. I explicitly stated that if I received a refund, I would stop gambling and asked them to ban me – but this was also ignored. Thanks!

Thank you for your reply. Could you kindly confirm whether my understanding is correct that deposits were made following your email dated April 10th? Additionally, do you still have access to the account? If you no longer have access, could you please specify the exact date when the casino closed your account?

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Hi Attila, yes, I hereby confirm that the deposits were made after the email and the live chat conversation. Furthermore, I still haven't received a reply from you. When I try to access the casino's website, it says my access is blocked. This isn't because I've been banned, but rather due to some kind of IP issue. I will attach a screenshot of the message to this message. Please, Attila, help me…

Hello levinsge14,


I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. I would also like to invite the Flagman Casino representative to enter the discussion.


Dear casino representative,


could you please check the case and explain the matter to us from your point of view? Afterwards, would you be able to provide us with the player's deposit history?


Thank you in advance for providing us with your view of the issue. In case there is any additional evidence/information you would like to present us, please send it to martin.l@casino.guru

Dear Martin,


The player first contacted us by email on April 10 and informed us that they were registered in the OASIS registry. However, at no point in this communication did the player mention having a gambling addiction.

After that, the player contacted our live support chats requesting account closure, but once again did not mention gambling addiction or responsible gambling concerns. According to our internal customer support procedures, objection handling and clarification during closure requests are a normal part of communication with clients.

The player’s account on the FLAGMAN project was permanently blocked on April 17.

We would also like to clarify that the player only explicitly mentioned gambling addiction and requested a responsible gambling-related block on another project within our network on May 3.

Please note that a player mentioning their presence in the OASIS registry does not automatically inform us that the player has a gambling addiction, unless this is directly stated by the player themselves. We are not aware of the reasons for the player’s inclusion in the OASIS registry, and under our Curacao license obligations we are not required to monitor or verify this registry independently.

Therefore, unless the player directly informs us about a gambling addiction or requests a responsible gambling block, we cannot make such assumptions on our own.


Best regards,

Flagman Casino

Hello dear Flagman Casino team and Martin,


I'm sorry to say this, but these statements are simply wrong. Yes, I understand that they can't make sense of the "OASIS" game system and can't see why, but this clearly indicates a gambling addiction. Besides, I wrote in the email: "My gambling behavior has already been classified as problematic, as I had myself blocked in the live chat due to gambling addiction." Furthermore, what they said about the live chat is also untrue; I can assure you that I mentioned this several times in conversations with an employee. If you're so honest, please send me the chat logs, as they clarify everything.


Furthermore, I can confirm, and many other players can too, that at this type of casino (Flagman, among others) it seems very difficult to get banned. I then registered at other casinos operated by the same company, and there it also took some time before I was finally banned; in some cases, I was even advised to ban myself.


And now another point: even if I contacted them on April 10th, and as they say, did NOT mention my gambling addiction, isn't it still completely reprehensible that they haven't blocked my account yet and have to wait a whole week? What are they waiting for before I gamble away even more money with them?


Sorry Martin, I know it was your turn, but I had to clarify this briefly. (I sent Attila proof of how I worded this in the email.)


Thank you in advance


Best regards

Besides, I wrote in the email: "My gambling behavior has already been classified as problematic, as I had myself blocked in the live chat due to gambling addiction."

Could you by any chance provide me with this email as sent to the casino?

Dear levinsge14,


thank you for your cooperation, I can confirm I have received your email. If necessary, would you be okay with me forwarding the email to the casino representative?


Dear casino representative,


After further inspection, it appears that the communication did contain references to gambling addiction. While I understand your position regarding the OASIS registry itself, there have been other mentions of gambling issues in the message, such as (translated):


In addition, I noticed that there is another online casino with identical structure, identical processes and the same structures (Lex Casino), where I was blocked with the same personal data (name, email address and phone number). This suggests that there are connections between the platforms or at least comparable systems are used, where my gambling behavior has already been classified as conspicuous, as I have had myself blocked in the live chat due to gambling addiction.

Would it be possible for you to provide us with the live chat transcripts for further evaluation? Thank you for your continued cooperation

Hi Martin,


Of course they are allowed to do that, the casino itself also has the email address, but feel free to send them the email address, I have no problem with that.


If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask me.


Thank you for your efforts, Martin!

Hello dear Flagman Casino Team,


I find it very unfortunate that after I was able to prove that they simply did not tell the truth in their answer to Martin, they no longer give any answers and simply let time pass.


It's not every day that an impartial platform like CasinoGuru agrees with me, especially on a topic like this. It's a shame, because the whole thing could have been resolved amicably (e.g., an agreement followed by the deletion of this complaint).


I don't mean any harm, I just think it's a shame.


Despite all this, dear Flagman team, I would be very happy to receive a response and clarification of this complaint.


Thank you for your time so far.


Best regards
