Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom had requested closure of her account over 15 times in the past month, but the casino had continued to keep it open and allowed deposits, ignoring her requests. She believed she was entitled to a refund for her deposits due to their lack of communication and awareness of her gambling problem. The Complaints Team had attempted to contact the casino multiple times without success, resulting in the complaint being marked as unresolved. It was explained that the casino was regulated by the Curaçao Gaming Authority, which at that time lacked a formal dispute resolution process for individual player complaints.

I have asked this casino more than 15 times to close my Account I asked over a month again. They refuse to close my Account and keep letting me deposit. They are now ignoring me. I believe the mine I have deposited I should have refunded due to their lack of communication and keeping my account open even though they know I have a gambling problem

Dear Sharpayy28,

Thank you for taking the time to submit your complaint. I sincerely regret to learn about your negative experience. I checked the Responsible Gambling policy, and I found this:

PLAYER SELF-EXCLUSION

If you are concerned about your gambling behavior, you may choose to lock your gaming account. During this time, we will also take all reasonable steps to ensure you do not receive any promotional material.

If you have any concerns about your activity, please consider one of the following options:

A minimum of 24 hours cooling off period

A minimum one month self-exclusion period

To change these settings, please contact our 24/7 Support Team.

Do I understand correctly that you informed the casino about your gambling problem? Could you please forward the account closure requests you sent to the casino to my email at kristina.s@casino.guru?

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Kristina

Dear Sharpayy28,

I am sorry to hear about your problem with ShelbyWin Casino.

I will now try to contact a ShelbyWin Casino representative via email, live chat on their website, and by any other possible means. Hopefully, they will join this conversation and participate in resolving your complaint.


If a ShelbyWin Casino representative joins this case, please respond so that we can work toward resolving the issue as soon as possible.


Additionally, as part of our Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, we’ve partnered with BetBlocker, a UK-registered charity offering a free tool to help individuals manage their gambling habits. Bet Blocker enables users to block access to thousands of gambling websites across multiple devices.

The installation process is quick (just 2 minutes) and the tool operates quietly in the background, ensuring minimal disruption.

It supports seven languages and offers complete anonymity, allowing individuals to restrict access to gambling sites entirely or only during vulnerable periods.


For more information, please visit:


Please note: BetBlocker also restricts access to gambling-related information sites, including Casino Guru. If you plan to use our site for ongoing complaints or resources, make sure this option is unchecked during setup.


Best regards,

Igor

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.

Hey so I do have this on my phone but it’s easy to remove and it doesn’t block everything. 🙁 I’ve asked the casino again to block me but they keep letting me deposit

Dear Sharpayy28,

I have repeatedly tried to contact the ShelbyWin Casino but have had no success. Unfortunately, without cooperation from their side, there is little that can be achieved. I will mark the complaint as unresolved in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the casino's rating caused by unresolved complaints could help change their approach. If the casino decides to respond, we will reopen the complaint and notify you by email.


Unfortunately, since the ShelbyWin Casino is regulated by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) - also referred to as the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) - there is currently no formal process for handling individual player complaints. The CGA has publicly stated that it does not have the authority to mediate disputes or arbitrate between players and operators, and therefore cannot order compensation or provide binding resolutions.

However, the CGA has also acknowledged that player complaints are valuable in identifying potential breaches of licensing obligations. They are actively working on implementing measures to address such matters more effectively in the future. For this reason, it is still worth submitting your complaint through their official contact form or by sending an email to their address at complaints@cga.cw.

Please make sure to include the name of the casino’s operator in your submission, as omitting this information may result in the complaint being disregarded.

You can find further guidance on submitting complaints to regulators on this link.


I'm truly sorry I couldn't offer a more favorable resolution in this case.


Best regards,

Igor
