Resolved
Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: €3,689

Legiano Casino
Safety Index 8.5 High

Case summary

The player from Germany requested a permanent account closure due to gambling addiction, but the casino allowed him to reopen it easily despite his explicit disclosure. He sought a full refund of his deposits totaling €3,689 and wanted assurance that his account would remain closed. We reviewed the case and initially challenged the casino’s handling of the self-exclusion and refund refusal, as the account had been reopened after a permanent closure request. The casino later offered €3,689 as a goodwill payment in final resolution of the complaint, and the player confirmed receipt of the necessary payment details and marked the complaint as resolved.

Hello,



I requested permanent account closure from Legiano Casino due to my gambling addiction. I explicitly stated that I am a gambling addict and wish for my account to be permanently closed. Furthermore, I expressly indicated that I do not want to be allowed to open a new account or reopen my existing one.


The casino initially complied with my request and closed my account. However, I was later able to easily reopen it within minutes via live chat. In my view, this contradicts fundamental player protection measures, especially since I had explicitly disclosed my gambling addiction.


For this reason, I request a full refund of my deposits amounting to €3,689 and the permanent closure of my account without any possibility of reopening.


I am attaching the relevant screenshots of the communication with the casino as proof.


Best regards

Dear All,


Thank you for contacting us.


Following a comprehensive review of the correspondence history, we would like to clarify that the player contacted support on June 22, 2026, requesting the reactivation of their account.


In response to this request, we explicitly asked for confirmation of reopening to the player with the following message:


"In accordance with Section 4.1 of our General Terms and Conditions, we ask you to confirm—prior to the reactivation of your account—that you have your gaming habits under control and are aware of the available responsible gaming tools."


The player subsequently provided their affirmation, replying: "I confirm"


In addition, We would like to draw your attention to the following points of the General Terms and Conditions:


4.1: By opening an account on our Website and by using our Website you warrant that:

<...>

you do not have a gambling addiction, you don’t use the Website under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other substances;

<...>


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


Therefore, according to the aforementioned article and considering that We have followed the Responsible Gambling procedures We are forced to decline the refund request.


We trust this clarifies the matter.


Best Regards,

Legiano Casino Team

Dear Legiano Casino Team,


You can't seriously claim that you have followed the guidelines for responsible gaming.


If a player requests the permanent closure of their account due to gambling addiction, the casino is not permitted to reopen that account, regardless of what the player later says, requests, or confirms. Otherwise, such a protective measure would be entirely pointless.


According to your argument, players like myself have virtually no way to effectively close an account due to gambling addiction if it can be easily reopened afterwards. In that case, it makes no difference whether a player explicitly declares to be a gambling addict.


No reputable online casino will reopen an account that has been closed due to gambling addiction. Any such request will be rejected, and the player will be informed that closure due to gambling addiction is permanent. This is precisely what player protection and responsible gaming are all about.


What you did, however, contradicts this principle. A player who excludes themselves due to gambling addiction should be protected from themselves. Reopening such an account within minutes clearly undermines this protective principle.


Best regards

Since your response somewhat annoyed me, I did some research and found a very similar complaint on Casino Guru. There, you essentially admitted yourself that it is wrong to reopen an account that was previously closed due to gambling addiction, even if the player explicitly requests and confirms this. This is also demonstrated by the fact that you ultimately refunded the disputed amount to the player in question.

Dear Legiano Casino Team,


Thank you for your reply. There are some important things that I believe should be mentioned. The player has clearly requested a permanent closure of their account due to gambling addiction, and it appears that the account was reopened only a few days thereafter. A brief confirmation regarding the player's gambling habits being under control does not, by itself, assure that a thorough responsible-gambling assessment was conducted before reversing the exclusion. Moreover, the player asked for the account closure to be permanent. Therefore, the account should not have been opened at all.


Furthermore, I kindly ask you to reconsider the refund request based on the player's documented net losses following the account's reopening. The terms regarding used deposits do not clarify whether such deposits should have been permitted after the recent permanent self-exclusion due to gambling addiction. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter and for your cooperation.

Hello dear Michal,


I don't want to seem impatient, but I would like to address a few points.


The casino is clearly ignoring me and my messages. This matter has been dragging on since June 29, 2026. Aside from the closure of my account and notification that my request is being processed, I have received no response whatsoever regarding a solution to my problem.


Even worse, my messages have been completely ignored since July 5, 2026. The last reply I received was on July 8, 2026, in which I was again informed that my request was being reviewed. Since then, all my messages have been ignored.


I consider such behavior highly unprofessional and disreputable, especially for someone like this.

A casino. Furthermore, the casino has not responded to the complaint filed with Casino Guru within the given timeframe. There hasn't even been a brief notification that more time is needed for the review. This is all the more concerning since, according to the casino, the case has been under review since June 29, 2026.


Attached you will find screenshots that confirm my statements.

Dear Michal,

This has caused me significant financial damage. I don't know how much more time the casino will need to fully review the case. I've already sent you proof of how long this has been going on.

This complaint alone was only forwarded to management after 2.5 weeks. Why? I hope the process can be expedited somehow.

Dear Michal,

I find the situation somewhat absurd at this point. The casino is clearly exploiting the complaint period to drag out the proceedings for whatever reason. This seems very unprofessional.

The responses are always submitted shortly before the deadline, and even then, not always. The deadline has already been extended once, and even within this extended period, the response only arrived on the very last day. This gives the impression that the casino is simply trying to buy time instead of seriously working on a solution.

Furthermore, all my messages are being ignored and the case has now been unresolved for over a month.

I hope that Casino Guru has other options for proceeding instead of constantly giving the casino more time. Otherwise, I get the impression that the process will be delayed indefinitely without any real effort being made to find a solution.

Best regards

Dear Cisko,


The response timeframes apply equally to both you and the casino and should be respected by all parties. However, please rest assured that if I have reason to believe the casino is abusing these timeframes, I will address the matter accordingly.

Dear Michal,

I fully understand your point, and I do not mean to sound disrespectful at all. However, I do not believe the casino is going to respect this timer either, as there is still no response, and I do not think one will arrive within the next 19 hours. This would make it the second time that the casino has failed to respect the deadline without providing any explanation.

I have also provided a lot of information regarding how long this issue has been ongoing and how the casino has been ignoring all of my messages. After such a long period of time, a "trusted casino" should, in my opinion, at least make an effort to prioritize the case in order to obtain a response from management more quickly. Alternatively, they should keep us better informed about the status of the case and actively work toward resolving the issue.

Kind regards
