Case summary

The player from Germany had his account closed due to gambling addiction but discovered he could still access the casino, which resulted in a loss of 1230 euros. He sought support regarding this issue. The Complaints Team confirmed that the player's request to close the account had been submitted on May 16, 2025, and there had been no evidence provided to show he had requested closure or self-exclusion before that date. Consequently, the complaint was rejected due to insufficient evidence from the player. The team expressed understanding of the player's difficulties and provided resources for responsible gambling support.

Dear besarion,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem.

First, I’d like to clarify the difference between account closure and self-exclusion:

  • Closing an account is a simple process with minimal impact—players can reopen their accounts at any time, and the casino has no ongoing obligations toward them.
  • Self-exclusion, on the other hand, comes with stricter restrictions. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to reopen the account, except under specific circumstances (such as after a cooling-off period, but never for players with gambling problems).

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika

Thank you for your reply.

I understand that the events you mentioned took place some time ago and that you may have closed several casino accounts. However, in order to investigate your case properly and determine whether the casino acted in line with responsible gambling practices, we do need some form of evidence—such as emails, screenshots, or any confirmation of your account closure or self-exclusion request.

Without this information, it’s very difficult for us to support your claim or follow up with the casino effectively.

If you're able to find any such communication, even if it's old, please forward it to me at veronika.f@casino.guru. I’ll do my best to help from there.

Thank you for your understanding.

Therefore, we are not liable for any refund request.

Dear Sir or Madam, I lost the money on 01.05.2025 to 26.05.2025 my account was closed

Unfortunately I was able to play again which could not have been. Therefore please read the text from Gransino Team. In March my account was closed.

Here the text is repeated twice March


Dear Besarion,


You informed us of difficulties with the gaming regulator on March 16, and the account was closed accordingly on the same day.


We therefore ask you to provide a ticket ID showing that the report was made before March 16.

Dear Gransino Casino Team,

Thank you for getting in touch with us and providing us with more details regarding the player's case.


Dear besarion,

The casino informed us that you have been self-excluded since March 16. Could you please clarify if you used the same account in this casino to log in and play between May 1 and May 26, or did you create a new account?

Have you requested for your account to be reopened after it was closed in March?

If you used your account in May — including making deposits, playing, and losing funds — do you have any evidence to support this? For example, emails from the casino confirming your deposits, or messages welcoming you back into your account, would be helpful. If you have such evidence, please forward it to me at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Please note that without any supporting documentation from your side, we won’t be able to pursue this case further.

Dear besarion,

Thank you once again for your responses and for sharing additional details about your case.

After reviewing all the available information and receiving further clarification from the casino, we’ve confirmed that your request to close the account due to gambling-related issues was submitted on 16 May 2025. The earlier mention of "16 March" was an error on the casino’s part, which understandably caused some confusion.

The deposits you referred to were made on 15 May 2025, prior to your request for account closure. According to the records provided by the casino, your account was closed promptly on 16 May, and there is no indication that it was reopened afterward.

Unfortunately, since you were unable to provide any evidence showing that you requested the account to be closed or self-excluded before 16 May, we are unable to confirm any failure on the casino’s side to uphold responsible gambling obligations.

For this reason, we must reject this complaint as "insufficient evidence from player."

We appreciate your understanding and wish you strength and support in overcoming the difficulties you’re facing.

Best regards,

Veronika

Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue and clarify the situation?

I would also appreciate it if you provided us with any and all relevant evidence.

Igor, what I also wanted to tell you is that the log history would be deleted, I mean before May 15, 2025.


The thing is, I had already closed the account previously. The account would be reopened on May 15, 2025.

The casino deleted everything, but forgot to delete one thing: they deleted a withdrawal, but the game history from April 7, 2025, is still there.

I'm attaching a screenshot.



The account is still open.

Dear Igor, you've helped me often enough, unlike others. Now I want to reply to your last message. I've padded this out because I want to show you that Gransino has violated their terms and conditions three times. According to Gransino's latest information, my account would be closed again. It's written in bold black and white. Why is my account open now? Well, Igor, I was right last time too.

I ask you to request that the casino refund 1550 euros.


Sincerely, [redacted by Casino Guru]

Dear besarion,

Regrettably, due to the casino's lack of response in this case, I have no choice but to close this complaint as unresolved. Even though there was an initial response, without the casino's cooperation, a thorough investigation is simply not feasible. I understand this is not the resolution you were hoping for. 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 recommend choosing casinos based on their reviews and ratings in the future to avoid situations like this.


I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best Regards,

Igor
