Funbet Casino - Player’s account is reactivated without consent.

I would like to file a complaint against Funbet Casino regarding a serious responsible gambling violation.

In May 2025, I contacted the casino and clearly requested the permanent closure of my account due to gambling issues. The casino confirmed that my account was closed.

However, after some time (march 2026), my account was reactivated without my consent. Additionally, I received a promotional email offering a €50 bonus to gamble.

This should never happen to a player who has requested account closure due to gambling problems. Instead of protecting me, the casino allowed and encouraged me to gamble again.

Because of this unauthorized reactivation and promotional encouragement, I returned to the casino, deposited money, and lost approximately €1300.

The casino is now refusing to provide any refund, stating that I used the funds for betting. However, they completely ignore the fact that:

- I requested account closure due to gambling issues

- My account was confirmed as closed

- My account was later reactivated without my consent

- I received promotional material encouraging me to gamble

This is a clear violation of responsible gambling and self-exclusion policies.

I have full evidence including:

- My self-exclusion request

- Confirmation of account closure

- Promotional email sent after closure

- Deposits and losses after the incident

I kindly request a full refund of the deposits made after my account was reactivated.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Funbet Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so we can better determine how to assist you.

• Is your account currently accessible to you?
• When was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
• Have you unsubscribed from the casino's marketing communication? (ads, newsletters)
• Has the casino responded to your refund request already? What did the casino reply?

In the meantime, check other resources and information in our responsible gambling guide found here: https://casino.guru/responsible-gambling-guide

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Hello Tomas,

Thank you for your response.

• My account is no longer accessible, as it has now been closed again by the casino after my complaint.

• The last time I was able to deposit was after I received a promotional email offering a €50 bonus. This happened even though my account had previously been closed due to gambling issues. At that point, I was able to access my account again.

• I did not explicitly unsubscribe from marketing communications. However, I had already requested account closure due to gambling issues, and I believe I should not have received any promotional offers after such a request.

• Yes, the casino has already responded to my refund request and refused it. They stated that since I used the funds for betting, they cannot provide a refund. However, they did not address the fact that my account had been closed due to gambling issues and that I later received a promotional bonus encouraging me to gamble.

I would like to emphasize that after clearly requesting account closure due to gambling issues, I was still able to access the account and was encouraged to gamble through promotional communication.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Shark7, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej, and I will be assisting you with this case. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for providing the information I needed. If I require any further details from yourself, I will reach out to you directly.

I’d like to invite a representative of Funbet Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue with self-exclusion and clarify the situation? I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence. Any sensitive information or internal system files can be shared with me directly by e-mail matej.l@casino.guru.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Hello Matej,

Thank you for taking over my case.

I would like to clarify that I requested the closure of my account due to gambling issues, and the casino confirmed that my account was closed.

However, after some time, I received a promotional email offering a €50 bonus, and I was able to access my account again. This led me to deposit and lose approximately €1300.

I believe that after requesting account closure due to gambling issues, I should not have received any promotional material or been able to access my account again.

Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Matej,

We apologise for this situation.

We have forwarded your case to the relevant department and will contact you as soon as possible.

Kind Regards,

FunBet
