Good morning,

I would like to report a serious problem I encountered with Vegasino Casino.


As of May 13, 2025, after numerous attempts to self-exclude from the site and repeatedly contacting support via chat and email, my account remained active and accessible, allowing me to continue depositing large sums of money, despite my explicit requests to block it.


I should point out that I have a serious gambling problem and had specifically requested self-exclusion to protect myself.

Your failure to block my account, despite repeated requests, constitutes a breach of your obligations to protect vulnerable users.


I kindly ask Casino Guru to intervene to help me resolve this situation, and to support me in requesting a refund of all deposits made after my self-exclusion request, which occurred on February 8, 2025.


I remain available to provide proof of communications with support and thank you in advance for your attention.

Hello all!


Dear client,


Thank you for reaching out and for bringing your concerns to our attention.


We understand the seriousness of gambling addiction and take all such matters with the utmost care and responsibility.


On May 13th, 2025, you contacted us regarding your gambling addiction and requested to close your account. In response, we promptly replied and asked you to confirm the voided option so that we could proceed with the account closure as per our responsible gaming protocol. Unfortunately, we did not receive a response from you at that time, and as such, we were unable to take further action without your explicit confirmation.


You later contacted us again on July 27th, 2025, requesting a refund. Your account was closed after your complaint and remains closed till now without the possibility to be reopened. Please note that during the period between May and July, your account remained active and was used to place bets.


As outlined in our Terms and Conditions, specifically section 6.6.2:


"No refund can be performed after the deposit in question (or the associated bonus) has been used to place a bet."


Since the funds in your account were actively used during this period, we are unable to process a refund in this case.


We always aim to support our users in a responsible manner and are happy to help you permanently self-exclude or take further protective steps if you wish to do so. Please let us know how you’d like to proceed.


Thank you for your understanding.


Kind regards,

KinBet casino team

Dear KinBet casino team, thank you for the additional details and confirmation of the account closure. The issue is the balance void out, which we find against our Fair Gambling Codex, in case of self-exclusion requests. While voiding the balance is OK in case of regular account closure - as the player has the option to stop playing, withdraw all the balance then have the account closed - that is not possible when dealing with gambling addiction.

With this question you have put the player in an impossible position - either lose all the balance, or keep the account open and gamble even more funds once the addiction strikes again. We believe in cases of gambling addiction, players should not be put in this position, and the account should be closed instantly, while returning any remaining balance to their original payment method. Since gamblers are not in full possession of their faculties, they do not have the luxury of waiting for regular withdrawal to be fully processed and have the account closed "at some point later on". If the player actually confirmed the closure, we would request the balance to be refunded.

Dear Ettore, since your account has now been closed permanently, and you have not indicated any disputed amount when opening this complaint, please let me know if it can be closed and whether you are satisfied with this outcome. Thank you.

Dear KinBet Team,


I hereby formally demand that you return the entire remaining balance on my gaming account at the time of closure, by direct credit to the original payment method.


I have documentary evidence demonstrating that I have repeatedly requested account closure for reasons related to gambling addiction. Despite this, my requests were not processed in a timely manner, allowing me to make further deposits and wagers. This behavior seriously violates the principles of responsible gaming:


from the Fair Gambling Code,

from the Guidelines of the European Gaming Authority (EGBA),

and, as far as Italy is concerned, by the obligations imposed by the ADM (Customs and Monopolies Agency) regarding the protection of vulnerable players.



Such conduct may constitute breach of contract, unfair commercial practices (pursuant to the Consumer Code, Legislative Decree 206/2005) and liability for compensation for pecuniary and non-pecuniary damages.


If I do not receive written confirmation and credit for the refund within 7 (seven) days of receiving this letter, I will proceed without further notice to:


File a formal complaint with the ADM and the relevant European regulatory bodies.

Report the issue to the main consumer protection associations.

Take legal action to recover any unreturned funds, including seeking additional damages for KinBet's conduct.



I therefore urge you to comply immediately, thus avoiding more serious consequences and further responsibilities for you.

Dear KinBet Casino team, can you please confirm if any balance has been voided at the time of the account closure? If so, we would like to ask for this amount to be refunded to the player, as voiding balance of gambling addicts is against our policies stated in my previous post.


Dear Ettore, while waiting for the casino to respond, I would like to make you aware that no European regulator or governmental body would deal with your issue. This is simply because the casino is officially not operating in the EU. You have knowingly signed up in a casino outside of the Italian and European laws, hence there is nothing they can do for you. The only option would be the Anjouan Authority, and I will provide you with the details about how to lodge a complaint with them, if the outcome of this complaint ends up as unresolved.

I hereby formally request the immediate refund of all sums paid by me from the day I requested the definitive closure of my gaming account, up to the date on which this was carried out.


I have explicitly disclosed my gambling disorder (gambling addiction) and requested self-exclusion. Your failure to respond and continued acceptance of funds constitute a serious failure of responsibility and protection.


Therefore I ask:


A full refund of any amounts paid after my request to close my account;

Written confirmation of the refund within 10 days of receipt of this letter.



Failing that, I will be forced to evaluate all useful linguistic and judicial initiatives, including reporting to the competent international authorities and participating in player protection platforms (such as AskGamblers).


Subject to any better protection.
