SagaSpins Casino
Safety Index 1.8 Very low

Case summary

The player from Germany requested a permanent closure of his account following a self-exclusion due to gambling addiction. He expressed frustration over the casino's limited 30-day self-exclusion form and sought a refund for his recent deposits. The complaint was marked as unresolved due to the casino's lack of cooperation and failure to respond to inquiries. The player was advised to use third-party tools like BetBlocker for protection and to consider filing a complaint with the Curaçao Gaming Authority. The unresolved status negatively impacted the casino's safety rating on the review platform.

Hello everyone, I've repeatedly informed the casino about my gambling addiction and subsequently requested self-exclusion via email. I've only ever received a response stating that I need to fill out a form to block myself. Unfortunately, the form is limited to a maximum of 30 days. This means my account will be reopened in three days. However, I want the account permanently closed so I can't deposit any more money. I also want a refund for the amounts I've deposited during this period. After submitting my self-exclusion request, I couldn't fill out the form because I didn't have access to a printer. This only became possible later, and even after contacting the casino to see if it could be done without the form, they said no. I believe that when someone requests self-exclusion, it should be processed quickly, without the option to reopen the account, and with a maximum blocking period of only 30 days. This means I'll be able to play again in three days and deposit money again, even though I don't want to.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

  • When exactly did you fill out the form requested by the casino for self-exclusion?
  • When exactly did you make the €100 deposits you wish to have refunded?
  • Have you contacted customer support via email to ask about the possibility of prolonging your self-exclusion?
  • Have you passed the full KYC verification at this casino?

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

Best regards

Veronika

I filled out the required form on October 24th, after repeatedly stating that I had no way of filling it out. In the meantime, I had repeatedly requested immediate and permanent self-exclusion due to gambling addiction. However, I received no response, only a reference to the form.

I contacted support today and again requested immediate account closure. Instead, they offered me a €20 bonus to continue playing, which is completely unacceptable, and asked me to fill out the form again. The maximum penalty there is a one-month ban.


I made the deposits of €160, not €100, on October 23rd between 7:10 pm and 8:33 pm.

However, I had previously spent almost 36 hours trying to close the account due to gambling addiction.

I can gladly send you screenshots of the current and past communications if needed.

I would like your help to obtain a permanent ban and a refund of €160.

After submitting the form correctly yesterday and receiving confirmation from the casino regarding my claim, I was still able to log in and, of course, immediately deposited again. How is it possible that I can log in even though the casino confirmed the block with the form?

Please forward me all the communication between you and the casino regarding the self-exclusion at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Also, kindly let me know if the casino closed your account in the meantime. If your account has been closed, specify when exactly. Thank you for your cooperation.

Done. My account will be suspended again on Wednesday, but only for 30 days. After that, I can play fully again.

Hello Marti89, nice to meet you!

I’d like to invite a representative of SagaSpins Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Marti89,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly via e-mails and Teams, but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from their side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system, and it will negatively impact their future safety rating on our website as such. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue at all. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach in the future. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

First, I would strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker (https://betblocker.org/) onto your computer and mobile device, to keep you safe from online gambling sites while browsing the internet. It's free, and for maximum protection it is recommended to have a family member or a friend to set up the password in your stead. Also, I would advise to block all the mobile numbers and e-mail addresses that are sending you promotional materials.

As a next step, I do recommend you contact the Curaçao Gaming Authority (https://www.gamingcontrolcuracao.org/contact) and submit a complaint with them. Although according to their own article about online gaming - this authority does not deal with the player complaints, they stated that too many messages regarding the same casino may lead to revoking the license in the future, therefore it is worth a shot. If you need help with submitting the request, or if you hear back from either the authority or the casino, please let me know by sending me a quick message at matej.l@casino.guru. I am really sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. :(

Best regards,

Matej
