Ruhtinas Casino - Player’s account closure request was ignored.

Hello,

I requested that my account be closed and expressed clear concerns about my gambling and large losses in several messages. Despite this, my request for closure was not implemented immediately, and my gambling was allowed to continue.

Your messages from Ruhtinas Casino indicate that:

you were aware of the very high volume of play

you identified significant loss periods

you knew that active gaming had continued for a short period of time

and you admitted to giving out bonuses of around €3,000 during losing periods.

Additionally, I was sent messages talking about "game variation", RTP and offering more bonuses to "brighten up the morning" when I had already expressed my concerns about my gambling and requested to close my account.

I consider it very serious that instead of taking responsible gambling measures, the continuation of gambling was supported with bonuses and marketing.

My gaming volumes have been exceptional:

previous approx. €13,800

later about €3,700

Based on these events, I believe that the obligation to gamble responsibly was not properly observed and my blocking request was not handled appropriately.

Refunds and information about why gambling was allowed to continue after risk signals

as well as compensation for losses incurred after the closure request and my messages of concern.

I request that this be handled as a breach of responsible gaming obligations and that the message threads and gaming history be submitted for review. The request came from the bank, so the risks have been taken into account there and the seriousness of the situation is met in their opinion.

In addition, I have previously requested my gaming history for the bank, which should have been a clear additional signal of the seriousness of my situation and financial burden.

I am also a VIP customer, which makes the situation even more problematic from a responsible gambling perspective. At no point were I given effective restrictions or offered any concrete protective measures, even though my gambling volume and losses were clearly exceptional and the casino knew this because we communicated via email.

Hey, have these been sent to your email? Could you please just handle the matter? And read the emails

Hello Annukkapa,

We would like to update you that due to Attila, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Attila has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Attila will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Ok

Dear Player,

Thank you for providing the additional information and for your patience throughout the complaint process.

After carefully reviewing the evidence you submitted, I regret to inform you that we are unable to assist you further in this case.

Although you expressed dissatisfaction with your gambling results and requested that your account be closed, the communication provided does not show that you explicitly informed the casino that you were experiencing gambling problems or requested self-exclusion due to gambling addiction or loss of control. Under our policy, casinos are only expected to apply responsible gambling measures when gambling-related issues are clearly communicated.

As we are unable to establish that a valid self-exclusion request due to gambling problems was submitted and subsequently ignored by the casino, we cannot hold the casino responsible for the losses incurred or request a refund on your behalf.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, we will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that we were not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as we always aim to help players resolve their issues whenever possible.

Please remember that you are welcome to contact us again if you run into any problems with this or any other casino in the future. Whether it is a question, a concern or a new issue that needs to be looked into, our team is here and ready to support you.

You can choose to include these sites in your restriction by ticking a box. However, if you have an ongoing complaint against a gambling operator, do not check this box, as it will prevent you from accessing the Casino.Guru website as well.
