On July 27, 2026, I explicitly sent a self-exclusion request to powbet, which they viewed the same day. They did not block my account, and I topped up €6,384.20 from the 30th onwards. They were supposed to block my account within 24 hours, as far as I know. I'm attaching screenshots of the emails.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Powbet Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so we can better determine how to assist you.

  • Is your account currently accessible to you?
  • Have you at any point informed the casino of your gambling issues? Please share the information with timestamps, if available, to my email at tomas@casino.guru
  • Have you asked the casino for a refund? What did the casino reply?

If your account is currently not blocked, as the next step, I recommend you contact the casino again via email and, at the same time, include me in the copy of the email at tomas@casino.guru

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 Powbet 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."

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,

Tomas
