Dear Casino Guru Team,


I asked the Play.io casino on January 3rd, 2025 to close my account permanently because I am addicted to gambling. I also stated this in my email in which I asked for closure. Now the account has been reopened and I was lured with free spins, which led to me depositing and losing money. I cannot name the exact amount because I cannot access the deposit history. I am asking you to help me close the account permanently and get my losses refunded. Thank you very much!

Dear zeninosilla,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to the player.

On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with gambling problems).

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is [email protected].

Did you receive any confirmation from the casino that your account was closed?

How did you find out that the account was reopened?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Dominika

Dear zeninosilla, did you receive any confirmation from the casino that your account was closed back in January?

How did you find out that the account was reopened?

Also, did you manage to explain to them that you're sending emails from the address associated with your registered account?

Could you please forward me the email containing the self-exclusion request you sent in January?

I didn't receive a confirmation; it was simply closed. Then it reopened without my consent. I received an email with free spins and couldn't resist the temptation. Here's a screenshot of the free spins email (please do not publish).
