Sankra Casino - Player's account closure request was ignored.

Closed
Our verdict

Player stopped responding

Amount: £2,806

Sankra Casino
Safety Index 3.5 Low

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom had requested account closure, but the casino did not act on it, which led to additional losses over 5 days. He sought a refund for the funds lost during this delay. We asked him to clarify whether this had been a standard closure or a self-exclusion due to gambling problems, since only self-exclusion carried responsible gambling obligations. He later confirmed gambling-related problems, but he did not send the requested communication to the casino or confirm whether he still had access to his account. As a result, we were unable to proceed further, and the complaint was closed for now due to lack of response.

I asked for my account to be closed but nothing was done so 5 days later I lost more due to their negligence and I’m asking for a refund of the funds lost after the requested time of the account to be closed.

Hello,

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 attila.g@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Attila

Hello,


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

Thank you for your reply and for providing the account closure request.

Although I understand your frustration, please note that we do not consider casinos to be obligated to close a player's account upon request unless the request is made as a self-exclusion due to gambling problems. A standard account closure does not carry the same responsible gambling obligations as a self-exclusion.

Could you please clarify whether you would like to proceed with a self-exclusion due to experiencing gambling problems?

I look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Attila
