Case summary

The player from Greece submitted a formal complaint against Kingmaker Casino for failing to enforce his self-exclusion request, which allowed him to continue gambling and incur losses. Despite a previous incident being resolved with a refund, the casino refused his current refund request after closing his account. He sought a full refund and a review of the casino's handling of his self-exclusion. The complaint was resolved after the casino acknowledged a second technical failure that had allowed the player to regain access and deposit funds, and agreed to refund the deposits made during that period, amounting to 2339.31 EUR. The refund was paid to the player's bank account, and the complaint was marked as resolved by the Complaints Team.

Repeated Self-Exclusion Breach, Refund Refused

Dear Casino Guru Team,

I would like to submit a formal complaint regarding Kingmaker Casino due to a repeated failure to enforce my self-exclusion request.

On 24/05/2025, I submitted a self-exclusion request. Despite this, I was still able to access my account and continue gambling, which resulted in financial losses.

This is not an isolated incident. A previous self-exclusion breach occurred on the same account, which was acknowledged by the casino and resolved with a refund. Despite this prior resolution, the same issue has occurred again, indicating a repeated failure in responsible gambling protections.

I have recently received a response from the casino in which my refund request was refused. The casino referred to its Terms and Conditions, stating that no refund can be issued once bets have been placed and funds have been used for gameplay. However, this response does not address the core issue of my complaint, which is the failure to enforce my self-exclusion request in the first place.

The casino has now closed my account, but only after repeated follow-ups, and continues to deny responsibility for the losses incurred after my self-exclusion request.

I am requesting:

A full refund of losses incurred after my self-exclusion request

A review of the repeated failure to enforce self-exclusion on my account

Proper assessment of the case in light of the previous similar incident and refund

I am able to provide full supporting evidence, including:

Self-exclusion request

Transaction history showing deposits after the request

Casino’s rejection email

Previous refund confirmation for the earlier incident

Thank you for your assistance.

Could you please advise on the reason for submitting this complaint? Have you regained access to your self-excluded account?

I look forward to your response.

Hello and thank you for your response,

I can confirm that this is a new incident.

On 04 September 2024 i made a succesful request of permanent self-exclusion for reasons of gambling addiction.

On 25 April 2025, i regained access to my account(1st violation of self exclusion term) and the the events that followed, are summarized in my previous complaint.

On 09/04/2026 i realized that, for one more time, i could log in to my account and deposit(2nd violation of self exclusion), which resulted in a new set of losses.

Therefore, this complaint concerns a repeated failure by the casino to properly enforce my self-exclusion, rather than the previously resolved case.

Please let me know if you require any additional information or supporting evidence.

Thank you.

Dear Christos_min,

It has been almost a year since we last communicated regarding your issue, which seemed to be similar and involved the same casino, resulting in a positive outcome at that time.

I genuinely empathize with your situation and am sincerely sorry that you are experiencing this issue again. Please rest assured that I will do my utmost to assist you in resolving this matter as well.

If there have been any updates or new developments since your last correspondence, please feel free to share them with me.

As part of our standard procedure, I would like to invite a representative from Kingmaker Casino to join this discussion. Their involvement will facilitate a smoother and more efficient resolution of your case.


Dear Kingmaker Casino,

To begin, I would like to reference a statement you made on May 15, 2025 (please see the reference complaint thread at the following link: https://casino.guru/complaints/kingmaker-casino-player-s-self-excluded-account-has):

"We deeply sorry for this technical issue that happened from our side. We would like to re-assure you that your account is being permanently closed from the relevant team and will not be reopened by any chance in the future. One more time, please kindly excuse us for the inconvenience caused."

With this information in mind, could you please clarify how it is possible that, after a year and acknowledging your previous failure in player protection and issuing a refund, the same player's account has been reopened, allowing for further deposits and losses?


Thank you in advance for your explanation.


Best regards,

Kubo
