Legion Casino - Player's account closure request was ignored.

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom had requested the casino to close his account due to a gambling relapse, but the request was never actioned, which resulted in significant financial loss. He had been seeking acknowledgment of his account closure request. We clarified that a clear self-exclusion request explicitly stating gambling problems was required to proceed with such cases, and the initial communication had lacked this explicit mention. The player was advised to resend a properly marked self-exclusion request including all necessary details. Due to the player's lack of further response, the complaint was closed without resolution.

Sadly I had a relapse that’s left me with nothing. I asked the casino to close my account they never did and I’ve lost what little money I had for living. I can send you the screen shot of my request to close account that what never actioned. Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem.

First, I’d like to clarify the difference between account closure and self-exclusion:

  • Closing an account is a simple process with minimal impact—players can reopen their accounts at any time, and the casino has no ongoing obligations toward them.
  • Self-exclusion, on the other hand, comes with stricter restrictions. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to reopen the account, except under specific circumstances (such as after a cooling-off period, but never for players with gambling problems).

Could you please specify the reason for closing your account? Additionally, would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at attila.g@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Attila

Dear ben1988,

thank you for your messages and screenshots provided.

After reviewing the evidence provided, I was unable to find any mention of a gambling addiction in your initial communication. Unfortunately, this omission may limit our ability to assist you in recovering your lost funds. Due to the high volume of daily emails received by the casino, most of which are processed manually, a self-exclusion request lacking explicit mention of a gambling problem may have been inadvertently overlooked. I regret to inform you of this situation. For future requests, transparency is essential when seeking self-exclusion.

Therefore I would recommend that you send another request, but this time, include me in the copy of your email.

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 Legion 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."

Please send another email to support@legion.casino (you can include me in the copy at attila.g@casino.guru) and keep me informed about any further developments.

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,

Attila

Hi Attila,


Thank you for looking into this.


I don’t agree that my original message didn’t make the situation clear. If someone asks for their account to be closed and to be excluded from the platform, it should already be obvious that they are having problems with gambling. That’s the reason people ask for self-exclusion in the first place.


The intent of my email was clearly that I wanted to stop gambling and have my account closed.


Because this request was ignored, I was able to continue gambling and ended up losing more money. If the request had been acted on when I first sent it, those losses would not have happened. Thank you.

Dear Player,

I understand how upsetting it can be to feel that a casino hasn’t protected you properly, and I’m sorry for the frustration this situation has caused. However, a self-exclusion request, in which a player clearly states their gambling problem, is essential evidence that each player must provide for us to proceed with a case like this.


Could you kindly confirm if you still have access to your account? Additionally, have you followed the instructions provided above to request a self-exclusion from the casino?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

We regret to inform you that, due to the lack of response from the player to our messages, inquiries, and reminder, we are unable to proceed with further investigation or provide potential solutions at this time. As a result, we must close this complaint for the moment.
However, please note that the player retains the option to reopen this complaint at any time in the future should they choose to resume communication. We remain open and ready to assist in resolving the matter should the player decide to reach out again.

Thank you for your understanding.
