Casino Name: Spinanga

Dear Sir or Madam, Good morning!!

I am writing to formally file a complaint against Spinanga Casino for failure to comply with regulations protecting vulnerable players, a flaw in the account closure process, and, most importantly, for failure to pay a refund that was formally agreed upon by both parties.

Below is a chronology of events:

1. Improper reopening of an already closed account

My casino account had already been closed in 2025—more than a year ago—due to a gambling addiction. Despite this, the platform reopened my account without my consent and even sent me a bonus of R$ 300.00, which prompted me to start gambling again—at a time when I was already undergoing psychological treatment and managing to stay in control. This action destabilized me emotionally and financially, causing all the progress I had made in staying away from gambling to go down the drain.

2. Closure Request Ignored (March 10)

On March 10, 2026, I requested the immediate closure of my account, both via live chat and by email. No action was taken. The account remained active, and I continued to gamble compulsively, eventually losing approximately R$ 1,500.00.

3. Account Closed Only After Insistence — March 14

I contacted them again, requesting the urgent closure of the account (the live chat representative said she could not fulfill my request). Only after speaking with the VIP account manager via WhatsApp—and practically having to beg—was the account finally closed on March 16, 2026.

In other words, for 6 days (from March 10 to 16), the casino failed to fulfill its own duty of care, leaving the account open even after an explicit request for self-exclusion, allowing me to continue losing money.

4. Refund Agreement — R$ 1,000.00

In light of this negligence, I requested a full refund of the amounts lost during that period. After negotiations—during which they initially offered me only R$ 70.00—we reached an agreement: the casino would pay me a refund of R$ 1,000.00 (an amount already below what I actually lost, which was around R$ 1,500.00—and I haven’t even claimed that since the account was reopened).

5. Payment was never received + THEY STOPPED CONTACTING ME

The casino requested my bank information, informed me that the payment had been successfully processed, and sent me an email on 04/17/26 confirming the transaction—but the money NEVER reached my account.

When I contacted them asking for proof of payment and explaining that the funds hadn’t arrived, they simply stopped responding to me. I sent several emails and messages—and to this day, I’ve received no reply.

I’m asking Casino Guru for help in ensuring that Spinanga Casino fulfills its obligation and honors the reimbursement agreement we signed. Thank you in advance.
