Dear CasinoGuru Team,
I hereby submit a formal complaint against the provider Goalisimo.
On April 27, 2026, I first explicitly requested the permanent closure of my account due to gambling addiction via email. I repeated this request several times on April 28, 2026, April 29, 2026, and May 1, 2026, clearly indicating my gambling addiction problem.
Despite these clear notifications, my account was not blocked. Instead, I only received standardized replies asking me to confirm the block again. However, the block was never actually implemented.
Subsequently, I was still able to make deposits and actively play. After my first self-exclusion request on April 27, 2026, I demonstrably made the following deposits:
April 28, 2026: €120.00
30.04.2026: €270.00
30.04.2026: €400.00
30.04.2026: €145.00
30.04.2026: €350.00
Total amount of deposits after blocking request: €1,285.00
These deposits could have been avoided if the provider had properly complied with my blocking request.
What is particularly serious is that, despite my reported gambling addiction, I continued to be actively encouraged to gamble. I received both promotional emails and text messages with bonus offers (e.g., risk-free bets), even though the provider was aware of my situation.
In my view, this behavior represents a clear violation of the principles of responsible gaming and the duty to protect vulnerable players.
I therefore request that you thoroughly examine this case, ask the provider for a statement, and support me in recovering the deposits amounting to €1,285.00.
I have attached the relevant email histories, SMS messages, and transaction records as evidence.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards

Hello,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Golisimo 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?
- Other than the response from Elle, have you received any response to your requests from a live support agent? When and what responses have you received?
- When was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
- Have you asked the casino for a refund due to failed player protection? Have you received any response?
If your account is currently not blocked, as the next step, I recommend you request a new self-exclusion via email at support@golisimo.com, and at the same time, include me in the copy of the email at tomas@casino.guru
When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the period. Additionally, the email subject should be marked and easily recognizable, as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly, you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible.
Example:
Email subject: Self-exclusion:
Player’s info:
First name:
Last name:
Date of birth:
Casino login:
Email address:
"Greetings Golisimo Casino Support,
I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be immediately excluded from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material permanently.
The reason for my decision is that I am suffering from gambling problems.
I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."
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

TranslationDear CasinoGuru Team,
Thank you very much for your feedback and support in my case.
I will gladly answer your questions and provide additional important information:
1. Access to my account
No, my account was closed on May 4, 2026.
However, the blocking was delayed, even though I had already requested self-exclusion several times starting on April 27, 2026.
2. Customer service responses
I received several replies, both via email and live chat.
However, these were contradictory and did not lead to the actual implementation of the ban.
This is particularly problematic because:
- The website explicitly states that self-exclusion can be done via email to support@golisimo.com is possible
- However, in the live chat I was informed that only vip@golisimo.com be responsible
This contradiction resulted in my self-exclusion not being implemented correctly and not in a timely manner.
3. Last deposit
The last deposit was made on April 30, 2026.
Following my initial blocking request on April 27, 2026, I demonstrably made deposits totaling €1,285.00.
4. Refund requested
Yes, I have requested a refund from the provider several times.
So far, I have not received a satisfactory or binding answer to this question.
Additionally, I would like to emphasize that despite my clearly disclosed gambling addiction problem, I continue to:
- able to make deposits
- could play actively
- as well as receiving promotional emails and SMS messages with bonus offers
In my view, this constitutes a significant breach of the obligations to protect players.
I believe that the deposits made after my initial self-exclusion could have been avoided if the provider had properly fulfilled its obligations.
I therefore request your continued support in clarifying this case and in enforcing my claim for reimbursement of €1,285.00.
All relevant evidence (emails, chat histories, transactions) is fully available.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards

Dear ihea1984,
I have repeatedly tried to contact Golisimo Casino but have had no success. Unfortunately, without cooperation from their side, there is little that can be achieved. Since the casino operates without a valid license and does not refer to any ADR service, there is no gaming authority to turn to.
I will now close the complaint as unresolved.
I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the casino's rating caused by unresolved complaints could help change their approach. If the casino decides to respond, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email.
I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.
Best Regards,
Igor
