Case summary
The player from Spain filed a complaint against Robocat Casino for violating his self-exclusion request, allowing him to access his account and deposit over €400 despite a documented gambling addiction. He demanded a full refund of €1,000, damages, and permanent closure of his account due to the casino's negligence in adhering to responsible gaming measures. The Complaints Team concluded that without saved copies of his email requests explicitly mentioning his gambling addiction, they were unable to assist further. The casino's instructions to submit self-exclusion requests via email had not been followed, leading to the inability to proceed with the refund claim.

Subject: Claim against Robocat Casino for violation of self-exclusion and responsible gaming
Casino username: [hidden by Casino Guru]
Casino registered email: [hidden by Casino Guru]
Casino: Robocat
Description of the complaint:
I am writing to you to file a formal complaint against Robocat Casino for gross negligence in complying with responsible gaming measures, which has had negative economic and psychological consequences for me as a player.
On March 28, 2025, I requested and obtained indefinite voluntary self-exclusion from the Robocat platform, alleging and documenting my clinical situation of diagnosed gambling addiction.
However, in July 2025, Robocat allowed me to log back in, deposit over €400, and play normally, in direct violation of its own exclusion policy and its duty to protect vulnerable players.
When I requested a refund, the casino simply responded with generic terms and conditions, taking no responsibility for the fact that I should never have had access to my account again. This violates responsible gaming best practices, the recommendations of the EGBA, and may even contradict the minimum requirements of its international license (Curaçao).
For all these reasons, I request:
A full refund of €1,000 for the money deposited plus damages.
A favorable resolution that reflects the operator's responsibility.
Permanent closure of my casino account.
I attach screenshots and evidence if necessary, and I am available for any further clarification.
Thank you very much for your help.
Sincerely,

Asunto: Reclamación contra Robocat Casino por violación de autoexclusión y juego responsable

Descripción de la queja:
Me dirijo a ustedes para presentar una reclamación formal contra Robocat Casino, por una grave negligencia en el cumplimiento de medidas de juego responsable, lo que ha tenido consecuencias económicas y psicológicas negativas para mí como jugador.
En 28 de marzo de 2025, solicité y obtuve la autoexclusión voluntaria indefinida de la plataforma Robocat, alegando y documentando mi situación clínica de ludopatía diagnosticada.
Sin embargo, en Julio de 2025, Robocat me permitió volver a acceder, depositar más de 400 € y jugar con normalidad, violando directamente su propia política de exclusión y su deber de protección al jugador vulnerable.
Cuando reclamé el reembolso, el casino se limitó a responder con condiciones genéricas sobre términos y condiciones, sin asumir responsabilidad alguna sobre el hecho de que yo nunca debí haber tenido acceso a mi cuenta nuevamente. Esto es una violación de las buenas prácticas del juego responsable, las recomendaciones de la EGBA y puede incluso contradecir los requisitos mínimos de su licencia internacional (Curaçao).
Por todo ello, solicito:
El reembolso íntegro de 1000 €, por el dinero depositado mas daños y prejuicios.
Una resolución favorable que refleje la responsabilidad del operador.
Cierre definitivo de mi cuenta en el casino.
Adjunto capturas y pruebas si es necesario, y estoy disponible para cualquier aclaración adicional.
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).
Have you specifically mentioned that you wish to self-exclude due to gambling addiction? 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 veronika.f@casino.guru.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Best regards,
Veronika

I requested self-exclusion several times via live chat, always communicating my gambling addiction, and also by email. I don't know why, but only the email I sent on March 28, 2025, has been saved.
Pedí la autoexclusión varias veces vía chat live siempre comunicando mi ludopatia y también por correo, lo que nose porque solo se me ha guardado el correo que envié el 28 de marzo de 2025.
Thank you for the screenshot. However, in this email, you did not mention a reason for your self-exclusion request. Do you have any more records of your communications with the casino regarding the account closure request?

I've mentioned the live chat many times and in more emails that I don't know why they aren't saved (as happens with many other casinos, I don't understand).
You can also see in my email the desperation to close the account since I had been asking for it for many days.
Please help me because it is very serious.
Lo mencioné muchísimas veces el chat live y en más correos que no se porque no están guardados ( como paso con muchos otros casinos, no entiendo).
Igualmente se puede ver en mi correo la desesperación para cerrar la cuenta ya que lo llevaba pidiendo muchos días.
Mirad que me responden, alegan que solo me comunique via chat live y que segun sus terminos y condiciones debe ser por correo electronico. Pero como os comente y que vuelvo adjuntar en este correo, envie varios correo electronicos.

Thank you for your update. Unfortunately, without any saved copies of your email requests, we are unable to assist you further.
Please note that we can only request a refund of lost deposits in cases where the player can clearly demonstrate that they informed the casino about their gambling addiction and explicitly requested account closure. If the casino then failed to act on this request and allowed further deposits and gameplay, we would be able to intervene.
In your case, the casino instructed you to submit self-exclusion requests via email, as account closures cannot be processed through live chat. Since your request did not mention gambling addiction as the reason for account closure, we are unable to proceed with your refund claim.
Thank you for your understanding. If you find any new evidence or need further assistance in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact us—we’re here to help.
