Case summary

The player from Germany, who had voluntarily banned herself due to gambling addiction, faced issues with her account being reopened without her consent. After accessing the account and making a deposit, she requested a refund due to the unlawful reopening and excessive advertising, but the casino closed her account without issuing the refund. The Complaints Team assisted by collecting detailed evidence and communication, then engaged the casino to review the case. The casino subsequently offered a refund, which the player accepted. The case was then resolved with the refund issued to the player.

I have been voluntarily banned since May 18, 2025. Even back then, the casino took several weeks to close the account, despite my considerable pressure due to my gambling addiction. Ultimately, I made further deposits, which were refunded to me after much insistence (approximately €600).

About three weeks ago, I received almost daily advertisements for deposit bonuses, VIP access, etc. When I tried to log in again, the account was unlocked. I did NOT register a new account; I was able to log in with the exact same information. I could access all my data again. The account was not only reopened against my will, but the excessive advertising also triggered my addiction. As expected, I deposited a total of €250. Last Thursday, I contacted the casino, pointing out the unlawful reopening of my gaming account and the excessive advertising, and requested a refund of my deposit.

The account was closed approximately 24 hours later, but no refund was issued, with the explanation that it was my own fault. The deadline I set for today has been ignored. Furthermore, there has been no further communication. I am requesting assistance. All email correspondence has been saved.

Thank you for your reply and for the information provided so far.

To help us better understand your case, could you please clarify the following:

  • How did you receive the deposit bonus advertisements (e.g., email, SMS, or another channel)?
  • Could you provide a timeline of events, specifically when your account was initially closed, when it was reopened, and what amount you wagered after it was reopened?

Hi, all my emails to Petra are bouncing back. I've tried several times. I then wrote to Simon, but that email also bounces back. I can't forward the email thread any other way. What should I do? filefile

SG's advertisement arrived via email. file

The account was closed on May 18, 2025. I don't know the exact date it was reopened. I tried again after the promotional message on April 15, 2026, and was able to log in immediately and play without limits. I deposited €250. file

I’m sorry to hear that you were unable to successfully send the email to my address.

The only recommendation I can give is to try sending it again to the same email address. This may have been caused by a temporary technical issue, as other players have successfully delivered emails without any problems, so it is possible the issue is on your side.

Alternatively, if it still does not work, you can simply upload the documents directly in this thread.

Please also do not forget to include the self-exclusion information, as this is essential evidence and without it we are not able to move forward with the case.

Thank you for your understanding.
