Roby Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Italy had her account at Roby casino unexpectedly reopened after she had requested a permanent closure due to her gambling addiction. She received promotional messages and made a deposit of €450 despite her self-exclusion, seeking the return of her funds and a commitment to responsible gaming from the casino. The Complaints Team determined that without the essential evidence of her initial self-exclusion request, they were unable to assist her further in this matter. Consequently, the complaint was closed, and the player was advised on proper procedures for future self-exclusion requests.

Hello, I had an account with Roby casino, and due to my gambling addiction I requested last year via chat the PERFECT closure of the account and on 10/11/2024 I received an email from the casino support confirming it.


For about a month now, out of the blue, I have been receiving various emails and text messages on my cell phone from robycasino offering free spins and deposit bonuses.


I tried, in vain, to block these text messages and emails, but today I managed to access the same account that had been closed, but inexplicably reopened by you, with the same text message and the indicated link, and I lost control because of my

compulsive gambling disorder and I deposited and lost €450.00.


I asked them the reason for opening my aitoescluso account without receiving any response or consideration. So yesterday I urgently requested again the immediate definitive closure of my account due to compulsive gambling problems and I asked for the return of my deposit because I should no longer receive promotional emails and text messages and I should not even be able to access and make deposits on the same

account that I closed months ago.


The casino has not respected the commitment to responsible gaming and has not protected me as a player causing me serious financial and health damage and therefore is required to return my deposit and, once and for all, add my name to the list

of accounts closed permanently, following the example of other more serious and honest casinos.


I would like to point out that the same fraudulent behavior was carried out by the affiliate of the same Vinylcasino group about which I will open a second complaint because they also deliberately did the same thing.


I would also like to point out that I have been self-excluded from all online casinos via the AAMS website for over a year and that last year I lost thousands of euros on Robycasino without ever having had the funds returned.

Dear Micia73,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. I checked the Responsible Gambling section and I found this:

Self-exclusion request: you can contact Support Service Team via e-mail: [email protected], and we will close your account within next 24 hours. It's the player's responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts the player might have and promise not to open any other accounts. Our Website will make reasonable efforts to try to prevent the opening of new accounts but it's the player's sole responsibility to make sure no other accounts are created. Our Website cannot be held accountable for potential losses on other accounts;

Could you please forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is [email protected].

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Greetings ,

I have never opened or closed the same account due to my self-exclusion request on 10/11/2024 and I have never opened new accounts either on Vinyl casino or on other casinos!

While waiting for an email from the casino, I sent the request via live chat in October 2024, but unfortunately I do not have the transcript.


I have attached the screenshot of the account closure confirmation email I requested in October 2024.

But I will also send you the email as per your request.

I also want to point out that I never asked to open my account, I received promotional emails and bonuses and I unexpectedly discovered that the gaming account was open and functioning after it had been closed on October 11, 2024.

I would never have played or made deposits if they hadn't reopened my account on their own and if they hadn't sent me promotional emails and text messages.

This shows great dishonesty on their part and taking advantage of weak people.

They willfully and knowingly removed my account closure without my authorization and accepted my deposits that should have been declined. And knowing the nature of gambling, they did this to gain an unfair advantage and steal funds from me that they knew I had no intention of spending as I have a compulsive gambling problem.


IMPORTANT: They used the same scam on my other gaming account at Vinylcasino which is the same group. So they robbed and scammed me voluntarily on 2 gaming accounts of their casino group

Thank you for your reply, Micia73. Do I understand correctly that you didn't save the initial self-exclusion request? Could you please advise if you currently have access to your Roby Casino account?

Dear Kristina, thank you for replying.

That's right, I don't have a copy of my self-exclusion request made in October 2024 as I requested it via live chat and at that moment (of desperation) I didn't save the chat as I could never imagine that the casino in question did not respect the law and players with gambling problems and that they could therefore reopen my account independently.


Now, after losing more money, I insistently made a new request for self-exclusion at the robycasino casino, therefore the account was closed again.


I really want to explain that I have been playing online for no less than 15 years, since Italians could play on foreign state groups, such as the Fortune Lounge, and that therefore I know perfectly well how casinos work and their regulations, especially regarding the difference between a request for normal closure and self-exclusion, just as I know perfectly well that opening a second account is prohibited, something that I have never done in 15 years.

For 15 years I have been self-excluded from most online casinos, for a few years I have been self-excluded with Italian casinos via ADM. If you note, last October I also opened another contemporary complaint with Dolfwin casino because they did not want to self-exclude me despite the thousand requests, and it is exactly the same period in which I asked for self-exclusion from Vinylcasino and RobyCasino which are the same affiliate group, and both of them unexpectedly reopened the two accounts for me in February of this year without me ever, and I repeat, ever, having contacted them.


With these 2 casinos, last year, before the closure request, I lost thousands and thousands of euros, I have never and I repeat never requested a withdrawal, I am full of debt, and from October to this year I was doing well trying to slowly restore my financial situation, as I could not have any access to any casino having in fact excluded myself everywhere until I lost my entire salary this month thanks to what vinylcasino and robycasino did.


I am in a desperate situation, having lost a total of around 1500 euros with them this March and if it hadn't been for their fraudulent actions I would never have lost this money.


I kindly ask, if you do not believe me, to ask the casino for a copy of the transcript of my live chat with them in October of my request for self-exclusion in order to be able to demonstrate the whole truth and my honesty, which instead they did not do with dishonesty, I feel robbed and cheated.

I'm sorry, but we won't be able to help you in this matter. The self-exclusion request, where you stated the gambling problem clearly, is the essential evidence that the player must provide in order for us to proceed with a case like this and request a refund. Since you didn't save the request and your account has been closed, we cannot handle this case as failed self-exclusion. I can only recommend how to request self-exclusion properly in the future if you feel like gambling has become challenging for you.

When applying for the self-exclusion, state the reason why you want your account to be deactivated clearly and specify the time period. Also, email "Subject" should be clearly marked and easily recognizable as casino support receives many requests per day, hence, if it’s visibly marked you stand a better chance to have your request granted as soon as possible. I would also strongly recommend that you always save your self-exclusion request so that you have a valid proof of such action.


Example:


Email subject: Self-exclusion


Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

DOB:

Casino login:

Email address:



"Greetings xxx xxx,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (lifetime).

The reason that preceded my decision is xxx (gambling addiction)

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."


Also, I would like to call your attention to our Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative/assistance-tool This tool will make it easier for you to block your casino accounts across multiple gambling establishments simultaneously and is not affiliated with any specific casino. The Self-Exclusion Assistance Tool was designed to assist individuals who may be facing challenges with their gambling habits by helping them limit their access to gambling and reduce the potential for further harm.

Above all, if gambling no longer brings you joy and is becoming a burden, it is highly advisable to seek professional assistance. I strongly recommend reaching out to centers in your country that specialize in addressing gambling problems. You can find some of these centers by referring to the following link (https://casino.guru/problem-gambling-help-centers#cnt_87=true)


This complaint will now be closed. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.
