Case summary

The player from Germany had requested account closure due to gambling addiction on February 26 and 27, 2024, but had received no response from Leonbet support. He had demanded a refund of his entire balance of losses since that date, emphasizing the casino's responsibility. The Complaints Team had acknowledged the player's situation and had contacted the casino multiple times for clarification. The case was later reopened, and the casino provided some information in response. However, the casino subsequently stopped responding again, which led to the complaint being classified as 'unresolved' with a more serious classification due to concerns regarding player protection and gambling safety.

Hello, on February 26 and 27, 2024, I asked Leonbet support to close my account due to my ongoing gambling addiction. There was no response from the casino operator. Both email addresses I contacted are valid. I am demanding the entire balance of losses since that date; the casino operators should be aware of their responsibility.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Leon Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please advise whether your account has been blocked or if it is still accessible to you?
  • Was any temporary self-exclusion applied to your account in between February 2024 and August 2025, to your knowledge?
  • When was the last time you were in contact with the casino regarding the issue?
  • Could you please share any additional communication between you and the casino regarding the issue? Please share the information with my email at [email protected]
  • Could you please advise when the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
  • Have you asked the casino for a refund due to failed player protection? Has the casino responded?

If your account is still accessible to you 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 Leon 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 [email protected] (you can include me in the copy at [email protected]) 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,

Tomas

Hello everyone, here is the information:

*26.02.2024+27.02.2024 two messages about account closure to active email addresses of Leonbet

*17.09.2024 Reopening of the account at Leonbet after 6 months of suspension (I'm not 100% sure if I had requested it back then, I'm fair that way)

*16.08.2025 Application for refund and self-exclusion

*Confirmation from Leonbet regarding account suspension for a period of 6 months until 26.02.2026

* Message from me, please close the betting account permanently due to gambling addiction

*no confirmation from Leonbet yet

*last deposit on August 22nd over 170 euros

I don't absolve myself of the guilt of losing so much money at Leonbet. However, the fact is that I sent two emails to Leonbet requesting account closure. A specific exclusion period for gambling addicts is not an alternative; the accounts must be closed permanently. I will forward all emails.

Thanks for your reply and information submitted via email.

Could you please explain the status of your account today? Is your account closed? Have you sent a new self-exclusion request to the casino using the template I shared with you?

Have you contacted casino support regarding a refund request due to failed player protection? Have you received any response?

Please let me know about any updates.

Hello Tomas, my self-exclusion and refund request was sent to Leonbet about 10 days ago and has been processed since then (confirmed in several emails). I was still able to log into my betting account today???

Just sent a new self-exclusion email with your template and you in the CC.

Hello everyone,

Leonbet is a very reputable provider on the market. Since my first contact on September 23, I have contacted the casino ten more times.

Absolutely nothing has happened so far; I haven't even received confirmation of my self-exclusion. If this doesn't work, I'll contact Leonbet's regulatory authority.

Since we haven’t received any response from the casino regarding the issue, we have no choice but to classify the complaint as 'unresolved'. The casino can reopen this complaint any time.


Dear sagnol80, I am very sorry, but since the casino team has not been responsive, we are unable to continue with the investigation. An alternative option is to file an official complaint with the licensing authority of the casino. Please note that this complaint will have an impact on their safety index on our website. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require further assistance.

Best regards, Jozef

Hello everyone, do I understand correctly that the process was reopened at the casino's request, and they haven't responded yet? The amount involved is no small sum. I've been trying to find a solution internally with the casino for almost two months now. I haven't even received confirmation of my self-exclusion.

Dear Casino Guru team,


According to the information we received, the player's account was self-excluded for 6 months as a standard procedure. At that time, the workflow required players to file a Comprehensive Self-Exclusion request directly with the regulator (KGC) in order to be permanently excluded. The player was informed of this in line with standard protocol.


Best regards,

Leon Compliance Team

It took Leonbet Casino two months to write this statement???

Denying a gambling addict the irrevocable closure of his account is unprecedented. Leonbet never informed me that I would have to personally contact the regulatory authority to request complete deactivation. Had I registered with Leonbet or the regulatory authority? This irresponsibility is hard to describe in words.

Dear Leon Casino Team,

Thank you very much for your reply. Could you please clarify whether the player has received any instructions on how to permanently self-exclude their account?

Could you also explain why only 6 months period? After being clearly informed about the player’s gambling addiction, the account should be closed as soon as possible and without any possibility of reopening.

Leonbet is a renowned casino operator on the market, but it seems to have a unique and completely unusual self-exclusion policy. However, I can't absolve myself of blame; I should have sought psychological treatment for my illness many years ago. For this reason, I'm approaching the casino and offering them a refund request for €1,000. I think that sounds fair for everyone involved, and now I'm curious to see the casino's response. Best regards to all.

Dear sagnol80,

I’m very sorry, but since the casino team has once again failed to respond, we are closing this complaint with a more serious classification due to concerns regarding player protection and overall gambling safety.

If you have any questions or need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
