Case summary

The player from Belgium requested reimbursement of €4,500 lost after he had created a new account despite being self-excluded due to gambling addiction. He stated that the casino had failed to prevent this account creation, violating their duty of care, and sought to have all accounts deleted in line with his original self-exclusion request. The Complaints Team investigated the issue and found that the player had been able to register a secondary account using the same credentials as the original account. Consequently, the casino agreed to refund all deposits made into the secondary account. The player confirmed receipt of the refund, and the case was marked as resolved.

Madam, Sir,


I am contacting you regarding a serious incident that recently occurred on your platform.


A few months ago, I made a formal request for self-exclusion from your service, due to a proven gambling addiction, from which I still suffer. This request was taken into account after several reminders from me, and resulted in mediation resulting in the partial reimbursement of €5,000, proof that my situation was serious and recognized.


Unfortunately, on June 2, 2025, due to my compulsive disorder and addiction, I created a new account on your platform, using a different email address, but with the same first and last name and personal details. This account was validated and approved by your system, allowing me to deposit and lose the sum of €4,500.


I would like to point out that, according to the obligations incumbent on online gaming operators regarding responsible gaming, it was your responsibility to refuse the creation of this new account, given my previous active self-exclusion. This is a breach of your duty of care, which has had serious financial and psychological consequences for me.


I therefore ask you to kindly:


Reimburse the €4,500 lost as a result of this error,

And to permanently delete any account concerning me on your platform, in accordance with my initial wish to be excluded from the game.



I am prepared, if necessary, to provide supporting documents relating to my initial self-exclusion, as well as details of the two accounts used.


Looking forward to your prompt response,

Thank you for your attention to my request and I remain at your disposal for any further information.


Sincerely,

Nicolas W.

Dear nicolaswachowski,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing.

To better understand your situation, please allow me to ask a few clarifying questions:

  • Could you please forward the original account closure request you sent to the casino, along with the casino’s response? You can send it to me at veronika.f@casino.guru.
  • Was your first account fully and successfully verified?
  • When registering both accounts, did you provide the same personal information (full name, date of birth, address, and phone number), with only the email address being different?
  • Have you submitted any identity documents for the verification of either account?
  • Have you contacted the casino’s customer support regarding your refund request? If so, what was their response?

Thank you in advance for your reply. I hope we’ll be able to help you resolve this matter as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Veronika

Thank you for your emails and for keeping me updated.

Could you please confirm whether you have completed the full KYC verification process for your second account? Also, have you informed the casino about your gambling addiction and requested the closure of this second account as well? If so, could you let me know exactly when these emails were sent?

Please forward them to me at veronika.f@casino.guru so I can review the details.

Hello Magius Casino,


Thank you for your reply but you are wrong.


Here is my first self-exclusion request and the only response I received for this account closure.


It took more than a week of waiting to close my account and in the meantime, I deposited a lot of money into it.


You allowed a new account to be created with all my previous personal information and I demand to be reimbursed for all of it, that is to say a total of €5,500.


I am dependent and ill and this is simply an amount that you previously reimbursed me that I would like to recover.


This does not leave any holes or voids in your fund since these are only deposits made with this money previously repaid.


There will be no more accounts created after this, I nevertheless ask you for a good deed on your part and to save someone who is suffering and who is on the road to recovery.


I need to get this money back to get treatment and ensure my mental health survives so I can move forward.


Please allow me to insist on getting back this money that is owed to me and will simply save my life.


Please be human and support this cause which is gambling addiction.


Kind regards, Nicolas

Dear Magius Casino, while investigating further, I would like to point out that if the player has been able to verify his secondary account with the same credentials as the original one that was closed due to the gambling addiction, the full refund of any and all deposits (minus any withdrawals and winnings) that happened after the verification would be in order.


Dear nicolaswachowski, have you received any confirmation about your original account closure? You stated it took 4 days to get the account closed, the casino says it was done within 24 hours. Seems like someone got it wrong, let's find out who. :)

Thank you for providing us the relevant screenshots.

On the email sent, we were not informed of any email changes.

Dear nicolaswachowski, do you still have the welcome message or "finish the registration" e-mail sent by the system to confirm your e-mail address when you created the account? That would be proof enough that you have not switched the e-mail address. ALternatively, a screenshot of the player profile showing the e-mail address used would do too.


Dear Magius Casino Team, now that you have managed to connect this player to his account, what are the next steps, please?

Hello Matej,


They don't send a welcome email, at least I didn't find one in my mailbox.


However, here is proof of my registration and that I had an account before the account was closed, the bonus emails received by magius with my email address written in the email, as if this email was sent to me and that I had an account is enough!


here it is...


Please pay me back now Magius.

Dear nicolaswachowski,


After a thorough review of your case, we must inform you that your request has been declined based on a clear violation of our Terms and Conditions. Specifically:


Section 3.2: Your account with the Website must be registered in your own, correct name. Only one account per person, per household/address, per phone number/email, and per IP address is allowed. Any other accounts will be considered as 'Duplicate Accounts.' You must not attempt to open a Duplicate Account, including by providing false or alternative credentials.
Section 4.1: By opening an account on this Website, you warrant that you have never previously registered another account or received any money through an account belonging to any other person.
Section 6.6.2: No refund can be performed after the deposit in question (or the associated bonus) has been used to place a bet.


You have acknowledged in writing that you created a second account using a different email address. This constitutes a direct and conscious breach of our Terms and Conditions.


Additionally, we would like to clarify that the email sent on 02.06.2025 came from an address not associated with your original account, which caused a delay in processing your closure request. Despite this, all appropriate actions were taken on our part to restrict your original account and prevent further activity.


However, by actively creating a new account with altered credentials, you deliberately bypassed our controls and violated the Terms and Conditions you previously agreed to. As all necessary actions had already been taken on your original account to prevent further play, the responsibility for circumventing these restrictions lies solely with you. Consequently, no refund can be granted for deposits made via the duplicate account.


We trust this provides clarity and brings the matter to a close.


Kind regards,

Magius Casino Team.

Dear Magius Casino Team, while creating secondary account gives the casino all the rights to confiscate any and all deposits, the case of gambling addiction is quite different.

The player states he was able to open a second account with exactly the same credentials as the first one - except changed e-mail address. I have myself checked your registration procedure and it does require to fill out the name, address, DOB and so on. As the player has already an account banned due to the gambling addiction in your casino, this makes the case a quite simple one:

If the player managed to register with the same name, home address and date of birth, as he claims, then we believe this is a system fault on the casino side and all the deposits made to the secondary account should be refunded, minus any winnings and withdrawals made in the meantime.

If the player used different - false - name, address and date of birth, then that would be a direct violation of your T&C regarding secondary accounts and should not be refunded anything. Therefore, I would like to ask you to confirm how did the player manage to create his secondary account, and we can move on from that point. Thank you.

I can confirm reception of the evidence from the casino. It shows the player has used the same credentials for registering the secondary account, which should have been blocked. I have explained to the casino representative the issues this poses, explained our stance, and recommended to fully refund any and all deposits made into the secondary account - minus any winnings and/or withdrawals made before the account got closed.

I will be more than happy to assist the casino in case they would like to make necessary changes within the self-exclusion process, to help them avoid issues like this one in the future.

Dear Magius Casino Team, please let us know of your decision, and we'll continue from there. In case the reply comes to me directly via e-mail, I will post an update here, to keep the player up to date.
