Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: 113,000 руб

Shuffle Casino
Safety Index:Above average

Case summary

The player from Russia had requested a permanent account blocking due to gambling addiction, providing screenshots of his requests and deposits, but the casino did not process the ban. He sought a return of 113,000 rubles. The Complaints Team facilitated communication with the casino, which ultimately acknowledged the player's gambling problem and issued a refund of $1,400. The casino later confirmed that the player's account had been permanently closed and expressed a commitment to improving their responsible gambling practices. The player then requested an additional $100 to cover a discrepancy in the refund amount. The Complaints Team concluded that the main issue had been resolved, but noted that the request for the additional funds did not have a basis for a refund.

Dear player,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to the player.

On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with gambling problems).

Did you continue through the link as the casino instructed you to?

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests that you sent to the casino? My email address is dominika.l@casino.guru.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Dominika

Dear player, since you requested self-exclusion, did you make any deposits afterward? If yes, please let us know the exact dates of those deposits.

Are you currently able to access your player account, or has it been blocked?

During the cooling-off period, were you able to take any actions on your account (such as playing, depositing, or requesting withdrawals)?

After the cooling-off period ended, did you continue playing, or did you request for your account to be permanently closed?

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.


Shuffle takes responsible gambling extremely seriously, and the welfare of our players is a top priority. Upon review of the customer's account and our internal communications, we can confirm that our support team followed our established responsible gambling policy.


When the player contacted us regarding their concerns, our team immediately:

  1. Provided links and instructions for our self-exclusion options, which allow players to permanently close their accounts.
  2. Directed the player to external resources and support lines for assistance with problem gambling and personal well-being.


We have a clear and well-documented process for players to exclude themselves, and our support team ensures this information is readily available upon request. We believe our team acted promptly and appropriately by directing the player to these resources and encouraging them to take control of their account status. We are committed to maintaining a safe and responsible gaming environment for all our users.


Sincerely,

Shuffle

Dear nataf555,

Could you let us know why you didn’t follow the instructions provided by the casino during the live chat - especially considering they process was explained and relevant links were shared at least twice (according to the screenshots you provided earlier)?

Your clarification will help us better understand the situation and proceed accordingly.


Thank you in advance.

Dear Shuffle Casino,

According to the chat transcripts provided by the player, the 24-hour cooldown was activated on May 11.

Could you please confirm the exact time the cooldown was initiated?

Based on the conversation from the following day (May 12 at 12:53 PM Melbourne time, AEST), your customer support agent stated that the cooldown had already been completed. This suggests that the cooldown was likely activated between 11:02 AM and 12:53 PM on May 11.

I would also like clarification on how the player was able to deposit and lose approximately 1,400 USDT during the cooldown period. My understanding is that, during an active cooldown, a player should be unable to place bets or deposit additional funds. Are deposits still permitted during the cooldown?


Thank you for your assistance in clarifying these points.

Hi Kubo,


We'd like to clarify that the player enacted their 24 hour cooldown on the 11th of May at 1:04AM UTC. Per our responsible gaming policy found here:


https://shuffle.com/shuffle-wise/self-exclusion


While on a cooldown, players are strictly unable to place bets on any games, however deposits can still be made as there is no way to prevent players from making deposits via cryptocurrencies.


We can confirm that they did not wager on any games between the 11th of May 1:04AM UTC until 12th of May 1:04AM UTC.

Hello Everyone,

I would like to inform you that this matter is currently under internal discussion within our team. We kindly ask for some additional time to review all circumstances and reach a conclusion.


In the meantime, dear Shuffle Casino, since you have already acknowledged the player’s gambling problem, could you please confirm whether the player’s account has been permanently closed? If not, we strongly recommend that you proceed with the closure as soon as possible.


Thank you.

Dear Shuffle Casino,

Thank you for your cooperation throughout this process.

While I acknowledge that you followed your internal procedure by advising the player to request self-exclusion directly through his account, I must emphasize that your approach does not fully align with the principles of responsible gambling we promote. Specifically, requiring the player to return to a fully active account after a cooling-off period in order to confirm their self-exclusion exposes them to further harm, rather than protecting them.

When a player clearly communicates a gambling addiction and explicitly requests account closure, it is the casino’s responsibility to act decisively and prevent further deposits or play. Offering only a short "week off" while still allowing deposits leaves the player vulnerable and undermines the purpose of responsible gambling policies. In such circumstances, it is unrealistic - and arguably negligent - to expect an addicted player to revisit their account simply to close it. At best, this approach is inadequate; at worst, it risks being perceived as a calculated tactic, knowing the player is likely to continue gambling and ultimately lose their funds.

Furthermore, your statement that it is not possible to prevent deposits made via cryptocurrency is concerning. Technically, this can be addressed by disabling or removing access to the Deposit section within the site’s interface. As such, this explanation does not provide sufficient justification.

Given these findings, we believe the player’s gambling problem was not appropriately addressed, and that the deposits made and lost during the period in which the account should have been closed are subject to refund.


I appreciate your understanding and look forward to your response.

We appreciate your findings and the opportunity to provide further clarification.


We’d like to reiterate, our team followed all internal procedures as they were then in place at the time. 


We acknowledge, however, that the procedures in place at that time were not as developed and have since been updated to better address situations of this nature. These improvements include allowing players to initiate self-exclusion via Customer Support and our Customer Support agents now take more proactive steps to stop problem gamblers wagering on Shuffle. We are also ensuring that players with gambling-related concerns are not put in a position where they must re-engage with their accounts in order to enforce exclusions.


In this particular case, although our policies were followed correctly under the framework then in effect, we recognize the importance of bringing this matter to a close constructively. In the interest of resolution, and without prejudice, we have refunded the player their deposit.


We remain committed to responsible gambling practices and to continually improving our internal procedures in line with industry standards.

Dear Shuffle Casino,

Thank you very much for your reconsideration and for making a fair decision. I truly appreciate your professionalism, your willingness to acknowledge a mistake, and your proactive steps to resolve it.


Dear nataf555,

I’m glad we were able to assist you in recovering your deposits. However, regarding your request for a refund of the deposit made on May 10, please note that this was prior to any engagement with the casino. As such, there is no basis for a refund from our perspective.

That said, I believe you are satisfied with the resolution of your main concern, so I will now proceed with closing this complaint as resolved. Thank you for your cooperation. If you face any further challenges with this or any other casino, please feel free to contact our Complaint Resolution Center. We’re always here to help!


We hope you had a great experience with our services. Although we don’t charge fees or accept tips, your feedback is essential to us. If you could take a moment to share your experience on Trustpilot (link here), we would really appreciate it. Your honest review and any suggestions for improving our complaint resolution process would be invaluable, helping others who might need assistance.

Thank you for helping us improve!


Best regards,

Kubo
