GT.Bet Casino - Player's refund request is delayed due to email issues.

Unresolved
Our verdict

Unreasonable excuse

Black points: 6,952

Amount: €3,000

GT.Bet Casino
Safety Index:Very low

Case summary

The player from the Netherlands had requested a refund but did not receive emails regarding the process because his old email address was inactive. The casino had refused to update his email or send refund information to his new email address, which complicated the resolution of his case. The player claimed the casino had allowed him to register, deposit, and gamble despite self-exclusion and restrictions on Dutch players, which the casino disputed, stating they complied with their terms and regulatory checks. The Complaints Team found the casino's explanations unreasonable and noted the casino's lack of cooperation and delayed responses. Due to the casino operating without a valid license and no available regulatory authority, the complaint was closed as unresolved.

Hello,


no the complaint is still not solved. They reject now my refund request. I made a refund request because im self exclude because a gambling addiction. I set a self exclusion for that for all sapphire summit casino’s. They dont respect it and let me open an account even they know im self exclude. I send them also proof for this.


There is also in there terms players from the netherlands are not allowed too play in the casino. By law its the full responsibility of the casino too geoblock players from prohibited countries. I use my adress incl my dutch adres dutch ip adres dutch telephone number and deposit from a dutch bank account.

Hello,


We have carefully reviewed the concern raised by the player regarding a refund request.


Please note that every player registering on our platform undergoes a thorough verification process, which includes checks against self-exclusion lists and restricted player databases. In this case, the player was not listed in any self-exclusion or restricted databases at the time of registration.


We would also like to highlight that all users explicitly agree to our Terms & Conditions upon registration, which clearly outline their rights and responsibilities while using the platform. Compliance with these rules is essential to ensure a fair and safe gaming environment for all players.


Our platform operates fully in line with licensing and regulatory requirements, and we take all procedures seriously. While we are committed to assisting our players, it is ultimately the responsibility of each player to understand and adhere to the rules they agree to upon registration.

I've sent you proof that I'm registered. This doesn't change the fact that players from the Netherlands are not allowed to use your platform. This is the casino's responsibility under the law. When I opened the account, you could have already seen from my information that I'm a Dutch player. Yet, you still allowed me to make multiple deposits.

Dear GT.Bet Casino,

You mentioned that the player underwent verification at your casino.

Could you please explain how a player from the Netherlands was able to verify, given that the Netherlands is among the restricted countries?

The player also informed us that they previously set self-exclusion across all of your casinos. Could you explain how self-exclusion requests work across your casinos?

Additionally, the player requested that his email address be changed multiple times. Could you explain why this has not been done so far?

Even though his old email address is no longer available, the change can be done in multiple ways.

You also mentioned multiple times the following: "Please also note that every user, when registering and playing on the website, confirms their understanding of the Terms & Conditions and the processes involved."

Could you please elaborate and inform us if there are any particular rules you are referring to?

Dear Igor,


Thank you for reaching out.


We would like to clarify the following points regarding this account:


The account has been verified using the ID provided. Our restrictions are based on country of residence, not citizenship. No conclusions are drawn solely from the ID.


Once a clear request to restrict an account is received, we immediately enforce the restriction. Relevant support links are provided, and the account is never reopened.


Changing the registered email requires following a specific procedure. The process has not yet been completed because the player did not fully follow all the required steps. Once the procedure is completed, the email can be updated. The player is advised to contact our support team for assistance.


Kind regards,

GtBet Team

Hello!


The presence of a country in the registration form does not automatically grant access to play. Account registration, profile completion, and actual access to gaming products are separate stages.


We implement multi-level checks in accordance with our Terms and regulatory requirements, including verifications during and after registration.


If a player’s jurisdiction is restricted, access to games may be limited or blocked at any stage.


The list of countries in the profile is also used for identification, KYC, and statistical purposes and does not guarantee permission to play.


Kind regards,

GtBet Team

Dear GT.Bet Casino,

If players from the Netherlands are restricted, the casino must actively prevent registration, deposits, or gameplay, not allow full access and only rely on post-factum checks.

For example, the casino should check Dutch address details, IP address, phone number, bank deposits, etc.

Therefore, the player should be eligible for the full amount.

Hello!


We would like to clarify that by registering and participating on the website, each player confirms that their participation in gambling activities complies with all applicable laws and regulations of their country of residence. This obligation is clearly outlined in our Terms and Conditions and remains the responsibility of the player at all times.


During registration, players are required to provide personal details. However, it is important to note that users often enter information related to registration or permanent address rather than their actual place of residence at the time of play. For this reason, country selection during registration alone cannot be treated as definitive proof of current residency or eligibility to access the platform.


Determination of a player’s actual jurisdiction may only be confirmed during additional verification stages, including enhanced KYC checks, payment verification, and compliance reviews. These checks can take place during or after registration, depending on regulatory and risk indicators.


If at any stage it is determined that a player is accessing the platform from a restricted jurisdiction, appropriate limitations or account actions are applied in accordance with our regulatory obligations.


We operate in line with licensing requirements and compliance standards, and we continuously improve our monitoring and verification processes to ensure a fair and secure environment for all users.

Dear GT.Bet Casino,

According to our policy and point of view, casinos should actively engage in preventing players from restricted countries from registering on their websites.

Having the Netherlands as an option during registration, not taking action when the player’s IP originates from a restricted country, and, on top of that, successfully verifying the account with a Dutch ID are clear signs that you unfortunately did not fulfill your duties as a casino.

Therefore, the player should be eligible for a full refund.


Please note that the complaint timer should be respected. If responses continue to be provided only close to the deadline, we will shorten the response time.

Hello, Igor!


We understand your position. However, we act strictly in accordance with our Terms and Conditions, which every player reviews, accepts, and agrees to during registration.


Our Terms clearly state that by using the website, the player confirms that they are acting in compliance with the gambling laws and regulations applicable in their country of residence. Responsibility for such compliance rests entirely with the player.


 The player registered on the website knowingly, while being aware of the regulations of their country, and explicitly confirmed acceptance of our Terms and Conditions.


We would also like to draw your attention to another relevant provision of our Terms. Our products are consumed instantly during gameplay. As such, we do not offer refunds, returns of funds, or cancellation of services once gameplay has commenced. When a game is played with real money, the funds are deducted from the account immediately.


Given that the player voluntarily registered on the website and consciously used their funds for gameplay, the funds that have already been spent cannot be refunded.

Thank you for your response.


I must formally reject your position that this matter is solely my responsibility.


While I initiated the registration, it is entirely your responsibility as the operator to enforce your own Terms and Conditions. Your Terms explicitly prohibit residents of the Netherlands from registering and playing on your platform. This is a clear eligibility restriction, not a discretionary rule.


You accepted my registration, allowed deposits, and enabled gambling activity despite this prohibition. You also had multiple means to identify my jurisdiction, including IP data, payment information, and account details. The failure to apply geo-restrictions rests with the operator, not the player.


An operator cannot benefit from gambling activity that should never have been permitted under its own rules. Any such activity is therefore invalid, and retaining losses would constitute unjust enrichment.


This position is consistent with dispute resolutions involving prohibited jurisdictions and will be raised with third-party dispute services and my payment provider should this issue remain unresolved.


I again request:


Immediate closure of my account;

Refund of deposits and/or net losses incurred while my account was wrongfully permitted;

Written confirmation of resolution.



I expect a substantive response.

Dear michaelfromnl1111,

I have repeatedly tried to explain to the casino that it should proactively restrict and block players from restricted countries.

The explanations and reasons they have provided are not reasonable, and the casino should definitely act more responsibly.

For two months, there was no progress on the casino’s side. On top of that, the casino deliberately abused the response timer and replied mostly on the last possible days.


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 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
