Dear Casino Guru Team,
I am filing a complaint against MonoPlay (monoplay33824.com). It concerns their handling of a self-exclusion request in which I explicitly disclosed my gambling addiction.
Facts
I am a gambling addict. On July 1, 2026 at 6:14 PM, I wrote from [email hidden by Casino Guru] to the official support address ( support@monoplay.com ): "Hello please deleted my Account about gambling Addiction."
MonoPlay did not block the account. On July 3, 2026, they merely responded by referring to a different address ( customercare@monoplay.com ) and the terms and conditions. I resubmitted the same application on July 3, 2026 at 10:24 AM and explicitly mentioned my gambling addiction once again.
According to the terms and conditions, account closure can take up to 10 days.
Deposits after disclosure — documented
Following my initial disclosure, MonoPlay continued to accept Mastercard deposits. Secured after July 1, 2026:
July 2, 2026
€10.00 — #7451812568395503809
€10.00 — #7379754987544474721
July 4, 2026 — that is, after my second blocking request from July 3
€50.00 — #7451812568395508680
€50.00 — #7379754987544479959
€20.00 — #7307710421836807111
€20.00 — #7379754987544479911
€10.00 — #7307710421836807096
Total secured after disclosure: €170.00
In addition, there are several deposits from July 1, 2026 (including €50.00 — #7379754987544469561; €44.00 — #7451812568395498317; €30.00 — #7379754987544468233; €24.00 — #7451812568395499670; €22.00 — #7379754987544469519; €20.00 — #7379754987544468197; €19.00 — #7451812568395499659). My transaction overview only shows the date for these, not the time. MonoPlay can determine which of these are after 6:14 PM using its own system data — I expressly request this.
My account balance is now €0.13.
Why I consider this a breach of duty of care
As soon as an operator becomes aware that a player has disclosed a gambling addiction, the obligation to act arises immediately—not only when the player has found a specific "designated" channel for doing so. Particularly egregious is the fact that the deposits from July 4th were made after I had explicitly disclosed my gambling addiction twice. A fixed 10-day period for account closures due to addiction is not a neutral processing time, but rather a window of opportunity during which the operator continues to accept money from a player who has requested protection.
What I am requesting
I am not requesting a refund of my entire transaction history—only for losses incurred between my initial disclosure (July 1, 2026, 6:14 PM) and the actual account closure. Furthermore, I request that MonoPlay review my complete contact and chat history, confirm the date and time of my initial mention of gambling-related losses, and disclose the times of any deposits made on or after July 1.
Previous complaint to AskGamblers
I submitted the same issue to AskGamblers (complaint #5, user Iggy40). The AskGamblers support team informed MonoPlay that it was violating the operator's Responsible Gambling Policy and strongly recommended changing the 10-day time limit. MonoPlay initially responded that the case was being reviewed, but then stopped responding. The complaint was closed as unresolved because the casino manager did not reply.
Since the matter remains unresolved, I am raising it here. I am attaching my email and deposit confirmations (screenshots with transaction IDs).
Best regards

Hello,
Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.
- Could you please forward me the full, uncropped conversations between you and the casino’s customer support regarding the closure of your account in their original format? Please include the complete email threads rather than only screenshots. My email address is veronika.f@casino.guru.
- When exactly did the casino finally block your account?
- Were you informed about the possibility of receiving a refund for the deposits you lost while waiting for your account to be closed?
- Did the casino freeze your account while you were waiting for the 10-day self-exclusion request processing period, or were you able to access your account freely throughout the entire waiting period?
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards
Veronika
