Case summary

The player from Italy filed a complaint against Lamabet Casino for failing to process his self-exclusion request, which allowed him to continue making deposits after informing them of his gambling addiction. He requested verification of his self-exclusion, a full refund of €2,000 in deposits made after the initial request, and the permanent closure of his account. The complaint was investigated, but due to insufficient detailed evidence from the player regarding the exact dates of deposits and account closure, and the casino's lack of response to inquiries, the complaint could not be fully resolved. The complaint was ultimately marked as unresolved because the casino failed to cooperate, and the player was advised to contact the relevant regulator for further assistance.

Subject: Complaint against Lamabet – Failure to self-exclude and refund request


Dear Casino Guru Complaint Team,


I am contacting you to file a formal complaint against Lamabet Casino (https://www.lamabet.com/it).


On [insert date of first request], I specifically requested the permanent closure of my gaming account due to gambling addiction, requesting immediate self-exclusion. Despite this, the casino did not close my account and allowed me to continue making deposits.


I reiterated the closure request on [insert any other dates], but the account remained active and operational.


Following my initial self-exclusion request, I made further deposits totaling €2,000. I believe these amounts should not have been accepted, as the casino had already been formally informed of my condition and of my intention to permanently discontinue gambling.


In my opinion, this is a serious violation of responsible gaming policies and the protection of vulnerable players.


I therefore ask:


Verifying that my self-exclusion request was handled correctly.

Full refund of any amounts deposited after the first request to close the account.

The final and irreversible closure of my account.



I have emails, screenshots, and deposit history proving the above, and am available to provide them upon request.


I count on your support to resolve this situation fairly and in compliance with responsible gaming regulations.


Best regards,

Bernardino ****

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Lamabet 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?
  • Have you received any response to your self-exclusion requests, either automatic replies or follow-up emails from support@lamabet10.com?
  • After you learned your account wasn't self-excluded, have you contacted live chat and asked for assistance?
  • When was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
  • Have you unsubscribed from the casino's marketing communication? (ads, newsletters)
  • Has the casino responded to your refund request already? What did the casino reply?

If your account is currently not blocked, as the next step, I recommend you contact the casino with a self-exclusion request via email at support@lamabet.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 Lamabet 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

Good morning,


Thank you for your reply and assistance.


I'd like to inform you that my account is currently accessible and I can still log in to the site. Unfortunately, the system also allows me to continue making deposits, which has already happened after my self-exclusion request.


This is why the situation is very difficult for me, because I had explicitly asked to be self-excluded precisely to avoid being able to continue playing.


I kindly ask you to help and support me in this situation. I would also like assistance in trying to obtain a refund from the casino for deposits made after my self-exclusion request.


I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your help.

I would kindly ask you to respond to my questions and to confirm that you sent a new self-exclusion request according to the instructions above.

Make sure to send the self-exclusion request to support@lamabet.com at this time if the issue persists. Including me in the copy of the email is an optional step.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Dear Tomas,


Thank you for your continued support and for reviewing the documentation submitted.


Regarding the points raised:


• The account was closed, but only after my initial request. In the period immediately following the request, my access was not restricted.


• Regarding my last communication with support, I have not received any actual feedback confirming that the request has been taken into account or fulfilled.


• Automatic responses may have been sent, but in the absence of concrete intervention, these communications had no impact on the situation.


What I want to highlight is that, despite my attempt to activate self-exclusion measures, the casino system continued to allow transactions on the account, which is not consistent with responsible gaming practices.


I remain of course available should further details or clarifications be necessary.

Thank you for your reply.


• I requested self-exclusion/account closure on February 20, 2026, as evidenced by the email sent to support.


• Despite this request, the account was still accessible even afterward, which indicates that the self-exclusion measure was not applied correctly or immediately.


• Regarding any deposits, I confirm that any activity occurred in a context in which the account had not actually been blocked, despite my explicit request for reasons of gambling addiction.


• To date, I have not been provided with a clear and verifiable date of the actual closure of the account by the casino.


I therefore believe that the casino failed to meet its player protection obligations, especially considering my request related to gambling problems.


I await definitive clarification and a solution regarding the refund of the funds.


Thank you.

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, the relevant context regarding your complaint is missing, without which we are unable to pursue the case.

Please note that the evidence you provided shows the self-exclusion was requested 'yesterday' without a specific date or response cited.

Kindly explain when exactly the casino closed your account and how you learned it was closed.

Kindly provide the specific dates when you made deposits in the casino following your self-exclusion request made on.

If you made deposits shortly after requesting a self-exclusion, we might not be able to assist you; explaining the detailed timeline of events is necessary.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Thank you for your reply.


I understand the need for an accurate timeline of events. However, I would like to clarify that I, as a customer, can provide a definitive date for my self-exclusion/account closure, while the full technical details regarding the actual account closure and any subsequent activity are necessarily stored in the casino's systems.


I can confirm the following:


- I requested self-exclusion/account closure on the date already communicated;

- after this request, I was not provided with a clear and complete confirmation with a precise indication of the date and time of the actual technical closure of the account;

- I am unable to reconstruct every single deposit with absolute precision using the bank statement alone, because the payments are associated with company/processor names that are often generic or attributable to third parties, and do not always clearly identify the relevant casino;

- For this very reason, I believe the casino is the best place to check your complete history in its databases: self-exclusion requests, any subsequent logins, any subsequent deposits, and the actual date your account was closed.


I'd also like to add an important point: even after my self-exclusion request, I continued to receive promotional communications/emails/gambling invitations. This, in my opinion, is incompatible with the proper handling of a request based on gambling problems.


Therefore, I kindly ask you to proceed by requesting directly from the casino:


1. the exact date and time my self-exclusion request was received;

2. the exact date and time of actual closure/blocking of the account;

3. the complete list of deposits registered after the self-exclusion request;

4. confirmation of promotional communications sent following my request.


I have already provided everything I reasonably possess. However, the complete and verifiable data is the exclusive property of the casino.


I remain available to forward any additional screenshots or communications received, including promotional messages following your self-exclusion request.


Thank you.

Hello Ettore,

We would like to update you that due to Tomas, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Tomas has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Tomas will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

I went over the case once again.

Based on your description of events, the casino didn't close your account immediately. Please note, we believe there might be a delay before your request is made, and there is a period where the player protection can't reasonably be expected.

Since you confirmed you made deposits shortly after disclosing the gambling issues to the casino, there is little to no information about how the casino replied, when you made the deposits, and when your account was eventually closed. The information you shared so far is insufficient for us to confront the casino. Kindly provide more details and evidence that would point to the casino failing to protect you; otherwise, the complaint will be closed.

Good morning Tomas,

Thanks for your reply.

I would like to further clarify some fundamental aspects:

On 02/03/2026 I requested to close my account due to gambling addiction.

The account was only closed on 03/10/2026, leaving a gap of approximately 8 days in which the account remained active.

During this period, the account was accessible and not blocked.

Regarding any deposits made during that period, I would like to point out that payments to these sites appear under different names in the bank statements, making it difficult for me to identify them precisely.

However, I believe that this information is fully traceable by the casino itself, which has a complete history of transactions and account activity.

In light of this, I ask you to consider that:

The responsibility for monitoring and blocking the account after a gambling addiction claim falls on the casino.

any activity on the account during that period can be verified directly by them

I therefore reiterate that the delay in applying self-exclusion resulted in a lack of adequate protection.

I remain available for further clarification.

Best regards

Dear Ettore,

I have repeatedly tried to contact the casino but have had no success. Unfortunately, without cooperation from their side, there is little that can be achieved. I will mark the complaint as unresolved in our system. 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 notify you by email.


In the meantime, I recommend contacting the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) also known as Anjouan Gaming by submitting a complaint through the license badge displayed in the footer of the casino’s website. Regulators often have additional tools and authority to assist players in such situations.

For guidance on how to effectively submit your complaint to the regulator, you can find helpful information in this article.

If you need any assistance with the submission process or receive a response from the regulator, please don’t hesitate to email me at jakub.m@casino.guru.


I’m truly sorry that I couldn’t provide a more favorable resolution this time.


Best regards,

Kubo

Dear Ettore,

The complaint has been reopened following the request of Lamabet Casino. The casino states that you requested self-exclusion due to gambling problems via live chat on 3 March 2026 and that your account was closed on the same day. It also claims to have no record of receiving an earlier email from you.

This differs from the dates you previously provided. Could you please respond to the casino’s statement and clarify why you previously referred to requests made on 20 February and 2 March, followed by account closure on 10 March 2026?

Please also provide any available evidence showing the date on which the relevant deposits were made or confirming that your account remained accessible after 3 March 2026.


Thank you.

Good morning Kubo,

I would like to kindly ask for an update regarding my complaint.

As requested, I have already provided the documentation and evidence at my disposal to clarify the dates disputed by the casino and demonstrate what happened in relation to my closure/self-exclusion requests and subsequent deposits.

Given the importance of this matter, I would kindly ask you to confirm whether the documentation you sent has been received and whether it is sufficient to proceed with the assessment of the complaint.

I remain of course available should further information or evidence be required.

Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Lamabet Casino,

The player states that the account remained active until 10 March 2026 and that he made further deposits after requesting self-exclusion. You have stated that the account was closed on 3 March 2026.

To help us assess this discrepancy, could you please provide the account’s transaction and activity history for 2–10 March 2026, if available? I would also appreciate an account-status log or other dated evidence showing when the account was closed and when access, deposits, and gameplay were disabled.

Please send any account-level records privately to me at jakub.m@casino.guru.

Dear Kubo,

I would like to point out that the casino's response does not at all clarify the main issue raised in the complaint.

The casino claims that my account was closed on March 3, 2026. I dispute this claim, as the account remained usable afterward and I was able to continue making deposits and gaming activities until March 10, 2026, despite my previous request for self-exclusion/closure due to gambling problems.

If the account was actually blocked on March 3, I ask the casino to explain how it was technically possible to make deposits and play after that date.

The answer that they cannot provide personal data to third parties does not resolve this obvious discrepancy. I am therefore willing to personally request all necessary documentation from the casino and, where necessary, authorize the transfer of my account data to CasinoGuru.

I formally request the casino to provide me with a complete account history from March 2nd to March 10th, 2026, including deposits, withdrawals, gaming activity, the actual date and time of account closure, any reopenings, and the actual date/time access and deposit options were disabled.

The issue is very simple: if the casino claims the account was closed on March 3rd, the technical records must show that I was no longer able to log in, deposit, or play since March 3rd.

I therefore ask the casino to provide the requested documentation rather than simply provide a generic response regarding the protection of personal data.

Thank you.

Dear Martin,

Thank you for your input. I confirm that the request was sent from the email address associated with my account. I ask that you keep the complaint open pending the casino's response and documentation.

I ask the casino representative to confirm receipt of the request and provide complete documentation for the period March 2–10, 2026: detailed deposit and withdrawal history, gaming activity, account logins, and dated logs indicating when access, deposits, and gaming were disabled. For each event, please provide the date, time, and time zone.

A general summary isn't sufficient to verify when the account was actually blocked and whether there has been any subsequent activity. I ask you to confirm within seven days when I receive the complete documents. If you don't wish to provide them, please explain the reason and indicate which records you actually accessed.

If the casino fails to respond or provide the requested information, I ask you to formally note this lack of cooperation and take this into account when handling the complaint, which remains unresolved for me.
