Case summary

The player from Belgium faced issues with the royalistplay.bet website, having submitted a complaint over a week prior. Despite multiple requests since April to close her account, she experienced abusive practices, including unresponsive emails and manipulation through bonuses. She sought a full refund of her deposits and reported concerns about account closure and potential fraud. The Complaints Team concluded that her evidence did not demonstrate a clear mention of gambling addiction or a proper self-exclusion request, which were necessary for a refund claim to be processed. Consequently, assistance with the refund request was not provided, but guidance for future self-exclusion was offered.

Madam, Sir,

Good morning ,

I am contacting you following a complaint filed over a week ago on the royalistplay.bet website.

in fact since 05/28 I have been trying to get in touch with them via email and chat.

They leave my emails unanswered.

I accuse them of having used abusive and manipulative practices towards me.

In fact, I have insistently asked I don't know how many times for my player account to be closed since last April, and they have constantly kept me with bonuses or by directing me to play other games.

I am taking the hit because it prompted me to make countless deposits on their website and they circumvented the law by keeping me on the site and delaying the closure of my account at all costs.

I should have been listened to and protected long before.

I also declare that I am suspected of fraud and rigging in the games. I was also prevented from accessing one of the games I played regularly for several days. I was unable to open the game via my player account, yet I had no problem opening it when I was offline!!!

I therefore ask them to proceed with a full refund of my deposits made on their website.

Also know that I suspect them of inviting me to play on another website, Wikiluck. In fact, I see a lot of similarities there and therefore suspect that this site is indeed part of their group.

I have a lot of screenshots of conversations etc. proving what I say. Also know that they do read the emails since on June 4th they scrupulously closed my player account without even informing me by email. And the emails sent remain unanswered.

Dear Benaezo,

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 [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika

I have received your emails — thank you very much for sending them.

However, please note that we are only able to assist with refund requests in cases where the player clearly informs the casino about their gambling addiction and explicitly requests the closure of their account for this reason.

Based on the screenshots you sent, I haven’t found any mention of gambling addiction in your communication with the casino. Could you please confirm whether you ever stated gambling addiction as the reason for closing your account? If so, when and how did you inform the casino? Please send me screenshots proving your statement.

Thank you in advance for your clarification.

Good morning,

'No, I don't have any other screenshots or conversations other than those sent as proof.

However, I repeatedly requested the closure of my player account, citing the following reasons: too many losses in games, traffic, etc. This amply proves that I was losing control and that they still invited me at least 10 to 15 times to remain an active player on their site despite the fact that I mentioned several times that it was too much for me and that it constituted too many losses.

As I already explained to you, unfortunately I did not keep everything, I sent you what I had in my possession.

However, they had no right to act in this way and I also invite you to read the reviews about them on truspilot which also prove that they acted in the same way with others.

We can't even self-exclude ourselves for several days on this site. And this has never been offered to me either.

this is not normal.

Best regards, Adelaide

Unfortunately, as gambling addiction is not referenced in any of your emails or screenshots, we cannot help you retrieve your lost deposits. However, we can help you with a proper self-exclusion request.

When applying for a self-exclusion, it’s important to clearly state the reason why you want your account to be deactivated and specify the exact time period of the exclusion. Make sure the email subject line is clearly marked and easy to recognize. Casino support teams often receive a high volume of emails daily, so a well-labeled subject line will help ensure your request is noticed and processed more quickly. Additionally, I strongly recommend that you always save a copy of your self-exclusion request—whether it’s a sent email, a chat transcript, or a screenshot. Having valid proof of your request can be extremely helpful in case of future disputes or misunderstandings.


Example: 

 Email subject: Self-exclusion due to gambling addiction

Player’s info: 

First name: 

Last name: 

DOB: 

Casino login: 

Email address: 

"Greetings ${casinoName}, 

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 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." 


Please send another email to RoyalistPlay Casino and keep me informed about any further developments. Thank you in advance.

Madam, the problem is not the closure of my account but the money!

If you feel the evidence is insufficient, I will contact a lawyer.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Benaezo,

Thank you for your continued communication.

We understand how frustrating this experience must have been for you, and we genuinely regret that we’re unable to help further. However, after carefully reviewing all the materials you provided, we must conclude that the casino was not informed about a gambling addiction or asked to apply a proper self-exclusion at any point.

As previously explained, we are only able to assist with refund requests when there is clear evidence that the player explicitly mentioned gambling addiction and asked to be excluded for this reason. While we acknowledge your repeated requests to close your account and the emotional toll this situation has caused, the evidence submitted does not meet the criteria required to proceed with a refund claim.

We hope the guidance we shared earlier helps you protect yourself more effectively in the future.

Best regards,

Veronika
