Spinbara Casino - Player's account closure request is delayed.

Resolved
Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: €400

Spinbara Casino
Safety Index:Very high

Case summary

The player from Germany reported that Spinbara Casino's gaming software had appeared manipulated, leading to consistent losses. Despite sending multiple emails requesting account closure, he had received no responses and could not get assistance via live chat. He sought help in closing his account. The Complaints Team had attempted to engage with the casino but had received no cooperation, resulting in the complaint being marked as "unresolved." The player was advised to pursue self-exclusion through the Anjouan Gaming Authority and to consider using the BetBlocker app for added protection against gambling sites. Later, after reopening the complaint, the casino confirmed the account closure and agreed to a partial refund of €345, which the player accepted, with an additional €55 paid subsequently as goodwill. The complaint was then marked as resolved following full repayment.

I would like to complain about Spinbara Casino. The casino's gaming software is manipulated; you only lose in all the games.


I have written several emails to the casino's support team requesting that my account be closed.


I'm not getting any answers and the live chat isn't responding either.


In response to my inquiry regarding account closure.


The casino is not honoring its business agreement and is simply cheating.


I need help closing my account.

Dear Patrice01,

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

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Have you tried contacting support after you learned your self-exclusion request wasn't granted?
  • Could you please share your self-exclusion requests with me? Please share the information to my email at [email protected].
  • Could you please advise when was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?

As part of our Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, we've partnered with BetBlocker, a UK-registered charity providing a free service to support people worldwide. You can find more information about our initiative here (https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative) and about BetBlocker here (https://betblocker.org/).

BetBlocker, which supports seven languages, is quick and easy to install on multiple devices, taking just 2 minutes. Once installed, it blocks access to over 84,230 gambling websites and runs quietly in the background. The service can be used anonymously and helps individuals manage their access to gambling safely and appropriately, whether that means complete restriction or limiting access during vulnerable periods. 

Additionally, BetBlocker includes a list of 824 gambling information sites. These sites primarily inform users about and advertise gambling services. You can choose to include these sites in your restriction by ticking a box. However, if you have an ongoing complaint against a gambling operator, do not check this box, as it will prevent you from accessing the Casino.Guru website as well.

Hello Patrice01, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej, and I will be assisting you with this case. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible.


I’d like to invite a representative of Spinbara Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue with account closure and clarify the situation? I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence. Any sensitive information or internal system files can be shared with me directly by e-mail [email protected].

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Dear Patrice01, thank you for the message. Unfortunately, as the evidence provided to my colleague Katarina, none of your requests state gambling addiction as a reason for the account closure. Many players interchange self-exclusion for account closure and vice versa, therefore unless gambling addiction (or inability to stop playing at will) is clearly stated, there is not much I can do to help. The only reason for account closure stated by you was "problem with games" which is usually related to continuous losses when playing games. Unless the addiction or gambling problems are clearly stated, it is assumed the player has the option to stop playing and depositing of their own will.


While waiting for the casino response, could you please send an official self-exclusion request with my e-mail ([email protected]) copied to it? Here is the template:

---------------------------------------------

Email subject: Self-exclusion

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

DOB:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings Spinbara Casino,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material for a lifetime.

The reason for my decision is my gambling addiction.

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."

---------------------------------------------

Please send the above e-mail to [email protected] (remember to CC me at [email protected] in the copy) and keep me informed about any further developments. Thank you in advance.

I tried again to submit a self-exclusion request via live chat and keep getting the same answers since I first contacted support in August. The live chat tells me my request is being processed and forwarded to the relevant department. But there's been no response from the casino. Furthermore, I want a refund of my deposit, which now amounts to over €1000.

Thank you

Dear Patrice01, self-exclusion requests via live chat are not considered valid. As per the casino's Responsible gambling page, the self-exclusion process is clearly states:

Only requests made via e-mail are valid for this case, if the casino decides to join the conversation.

That is true. They responded to several complaints, but others are left unattended. Given the high volume of the complaints lodged against SpInbara Casino at this time, I have no clue whether they manage to resolve this particular one in time.

However, if we do not hear back by the time the timer ends, I have a couple of steps prepared, for you to help with the issue at hand. But for the sake of fairness, I will give the casino time until the end of the current timer.

Dear Patrice01,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly via e-mails and Teams, but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from their side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system, and it will negatively impact their future safety rating on our website as such. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue at all. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach in the future. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.


First, I recommend visiting the casino's website, scroll down and in the footer look for the Anjouan Authority's logo. Click it, and once the license opens in a new tab, scroll down until you see the "Request Self-Exclusion" button. Click it, follow the instruction and after successfully submitting the information you should get self-excluded from Spinbara as well as other Anjouan licensed casinos.

Next, I would strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker (https://betblocker.org/) onto your computer and mobile device, to keep you safe from online gambling sites while browsing the internet. It's free, and for maximum protection it is recommended to have a family member or a friend to set up the password in your stead. Also, I would advise to block all the mobile numbers and e-mail addresses that are sending you promotional materials.

As a last step, I do recommend you contact the Anjouan Gaming Authority and submit a complaint with them. To do this, please go to the casino's website and look for the Anjouan Authority logo, usually placed somewhere at the front page. It should look something like this:

file

Once you see it, click on it and it should open a license validating page on a separate browser window. Scroll down, until you see the button File a Complaint, click it and follow the instructions. If you need help with submitting the request, or if you hear back from either the authority or the casino, please let me know by sending me a quick message at [email protected].

I am really sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. :(

Best regards,

Matej

Hello Spinbara Casino.


I request a partial refund of my losses incurred since my initial self-exclusion request due to gambling addiction. I sent this email to your support team on December 4, 2025, because you failed to fulfill your obligation to close my account and ignored all my emails, instead stalling for time.

Lastly, I would like to ask if the player's cashier history (showing both deposits and withdrawals), as well as account balance from 7th December could be sent to [email protected] to check if any refund should be requested on the player's behalf. Thank you.

Dear Patrice01, I have just messaged the casino. We were discussing some misunderstandings regarding the refund amount, which hopefully has now been addressed. According to your cashier history that I have been provided by, the refund amount should be totalling of 690€. This is a sum of all your deposits made in the time Casino Guru believes your account should have been already closed, and unfortunately any winnings or bonuses that have occurred during that time are non-refundable. This is due to our policy of Fair Gambling Codex, where we want to be fair towards both sides. Same way you should not be able to deposit and lose money, you should also not be able to play and win. Hence I have asked only the deposits to be refunded. Please, let me know if such outcome is satisfactory, and in the meantime I will be swapping the timer towards the casino, to let us know once the refund has been processed.

Dear Matej,


We would want to inform you that Patrice01 had already agreed to our partial refund offer of 345 EUR, on December 29, 2025, in this same thread. We have also sent the the evidence to your via email.


Dear Patrice01,


We sincerely apologies for the delay.


Once we received your bank details on the evening of December 30, 2025.


Within 24 hours, on December 31, 2025, we had forwarded your bank details to our relevant team to proceed with 345 EUR.


However, due to public holidays the transfer is still under process.


Nevertheless, we assure you your case is being dealt as top priority. Hence, we humbly ask you to please be little more patience and we will make every effort to assist you with your refund of 345 EUR and provide you with an update as swiftly as possible.


We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation. Thank you very much.

Hello Spinbara Casino,


Thank you for your feedback. To bring this matter to a close and ensure everyone is satisfied, would it be acceptable if you increased the partial repayment offer from €345 to €400 instead of the €690 refund? Then we can finalize this. Please also arrange a second payment of €55, and we'll be done once the money arrives.


Thank you very much

If Patrice01 is happy with this outcome, then there is not much else I can mediate.

If both parties agree, we'll settle on 400€ in total refund and consider the complaint successfully resolved. I will now amend the disputed amount and wait for the casino confirming the refund processing on their end.


Also dear Patrice01, please allow time for the payment to arrive, as it is still Christmas/New Year time and many banks and payment providers works on reduced hours until mid-week next week. Thank you.
