Golden Panda Casino
Safety Index:Low

Case summary

The player from the Netherlands requested a full refund of his losses due to his registration as a gambling addict and the casino's lack of a valid gambling license for the Netherlands. He claimed that the casino ignored his gambling issues and failed to address his complaint within the stipulated 90-day period. The Complaints Team informed him that, due to the lack of prior communication regarding his gambling problem and the player's failure to respond to inquiries, further investigation could not be conducted, leading to the closure of the complaint. The player retained the option to reopen the complaint in the future.

Hello,


this is the email i send too the casino.

 

As indicated in the chat, I am asking for a full refund of the money I lost in your casino. I am asking for this refund for the following reasons.


https://lawandmore.eu/blog/claim-lost-money-from-online-casinos-without-a-license/

 

1. the main reason. I am registered in different license providers as a gambling addict also in the dutch cruks register. you guys shouldn't let me open an account. I have registered all address and contact details with which I am also registered with the licensor. 

 

2. You are not allowed to accept players from the Netherlands because you do not have a gambling license for the Netherlands. There are very high fines for this. (you also accept ideal payments) which is aimed at the Dutch market. Also in your own t&c holland is not a restricted area (but holland is definitely restricted)


3. you have ignored the duty of care. it must have been plausible to you that I have a gambling problem. I have deposited and wagered very high amounts in a very short time. this is a sign of a gambling addiction. You are also required to have limits set before you can start playing. This is also prohibited by Dutch law. Since I am a Dutch player, you must adhere to the laws of the Netherlands.

 

These are the 3 main reasons that I ask that the amount deposited be transferred immediately to the account number known too you


i also put a review on trustpilot and this is what they answer.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’ve encountered.

Please understand that Golden Panda Casino does not operate with a license issued by Netherlands, therefore, they do not have access to the national register. In other words, because Golden Panda Casino operates without a necessary license, it is not possible for them to comply with Dutch-specific responsible gambling measures, such as the national registry. 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.

  • Could you please advise if you have ever informed the casino about your gambling problem?
  • Also, do you currently have access to your casino account?

Thank you for your reply.

Best regards,

Katarina

Hello,

thank you for your reply.

Could you please clarify what is your current balance in Golden Panda casino?

I understand you are blocked on the casino's website, but if you wish, I can help you self exclude because of your gambling problem. Kindly let me know if you wish to proceed.

Regarding the recovery of funds, I am concerned that due to the lack of prior communication with the casino staff regarding a potential gambling addiction, it may be challenging to pursue a successful claim. The casino was not previously aware of any condition that might have influenced your gambling behavior.

Looking forward to your reply,

Katarina
