Playzilla Casino - Player's account remains open despite closure request.

Closed
Our verdict

Player stopped responding

Amount: €20,000

Playzilla Casino
Safety Index 8.9 High

Case summary

The player from Germany had faced significant losses at Playzilla and had requested a permanent account closure multiple times to protect himself, but the casino did not comply and continued to accept deposits. He had lost €20,000 recently and sought assistance. We reviewed the available evidence, but no explicit mention of gambling problems was found in his initial closure request, which limited our ability to support a recovery claim. We advised him to send a new self-exclusion request clearly stating gambling problems and to include us in the email copy. As he did not respond to our follow-up messages and reminders, the complaint was closed for now due to lack of cooperation.

Hello everyone, dear Casino Guru team. I registered with Playzilla a few months ago to test the casino. I quickly realized that I was losing a lot of money far too fast and couldn't manage it. Due to my spending, I quickly climbed to the VIP level, so I had to send my requests to the responsible VIP manager. I repeatedly asked, almost begged, him to permanently close my account to protect me, and I confirmed this several times via email, as they requested.

Unfortunately, they kept making me deposit more money and didn't comply with my request. In the last few weeks, I've lost another €20,000 there.

Can you please help me?

Hello,

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 specify the reason for closing your account? Additionally, would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at attila.g@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Attila

Thank you for your messages and screenshots provided.

After reviewing the evidence provided, I was unable to find any mention of a gambling addiction in your initial communication. Unfortunately, this omission may limit our ability to assist you in recovering your lost funds. Due to the high volume of daily emails received by the casino, most of which are processed manually, a self-exclusion request lacking explicit mention of a gambling problem may have been inadvertently overlooked. I regret to inform you of this situation. For future requests, transparency is essential when seeking self-exclusion.

Therefore 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 Playzilla 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 support@playzilla.com (you can include me in the copy at attila.g@casino.guru) 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,

Attila
