Case summary

The player from Germany had been trying to close her casino account since April 2025 due to gambling addiction but had been unable to do so despite making deposits totaling approximately €5900. She had received no response from the casino regarding her request. We contacted the casino, and the issue was resolved after the casino confirmed that a €5900 refund had been processed and sent from its side. The player later confirmed receipt by marking the complaint as resolved, so the case was closed as resolved.

Dear Kathrin160584,

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 forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino, along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika
