SG Casino - Player raises concerns about account reopening policy.

Resolved
Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: €976

SG Casino
Safety Index 8.4 High

Case summary

The player from Germany expressed concern over the quick reactivation of his account at SG Casino, which had previously been closed due to gambling addiction. He believed that reopening accounts in such cases should have been subject to stricter safeguards to protect vulnerable players. We asked him to provide proof of the original self-exclusion, the timing of the closure and reactivation, and whether he had made any deposits or losses after reopening. The complaint was then marked as resolved by him, so we closed the case as resolved based on his confirmation.

Ladies and Gentlemen

I had my account at SG Casino permanently closed some time ago due to gambling addiction.

Today, however, I managed to have my account reactivated within minutes via email support. This only happened after I agreed to a disclaimer. In my opinion, this is by no means a responsible way to treat vulnerable players.

An account closed due to a reported gambling addiction should not be so easy to reopen – or even possible at all. Many other reputable providers categorically prohibit reopening in such cases, or at least subject it to strict safeguards and waiting periods.

I have already provided you with all the screenshots documenting the entire process from account closure to reopening.

I ask you to review this process and assess whether the provider's behavior is compatible with the requirements for player protection and responsible gambling.

Best regards

Dear Sgcspieler,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your experience.

If your account was originally self-excluded due to a gambling problem, it should generally not have been reopened so easily. To better understand your case, could you please clarify the following?

  • Could you please send me proof that your original account closure was requested due to a gambling addiction (for example, your self-exclusion request or the casino’s confirmation)?
  • Approximately when did you request the permanent self-exclusion, and when was your account reopened?
  • After the account was reopened, did you make any deposits or incur any gambling losses, or are you raising this complaint solely because the casino reactivated your self-excluded account?

Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation. I look forward to your reply.

Hi,

here are the screenshots of the Account closure and reopening.

I still thankfully did not make any deposits but i am making this complaint to understand how the casinoguru sees this action from the trusted casino. I am looking for an answer is the casino doing really the right thing if a player signs the liability waiver and they reopen the account that then even if the deposits happend, the casino does not need to refund them because of that liability waiver. The account was closed on May 13 2026 and reopened on August 26 2026.

since you asked me, i also want to clarify that another reason of this complaint is because i want to be able to fully deactivate my Account since i am addicted. Not always for it to be possible to reopen even under liabilty waver.

Hello Karla,


Unfortunately, I couldn’t control myself and deposited and lost €976. Proof of the deposits is attached to this reply.

I also tried, and am still trying, to resolve this matter directly with the casino. That is why I previously closed the complaint, as I believed we might be able to reach a faster resolution privately. However, three days have now passed and the casino has not responded to me and the account is still open.

I will also post here the message that I sent to the casino three days ago.
