Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: €2,888

Spinbara Casino
Safety Index 8.3 High

Case summary

The player from Germany had made multiple requests to delete his account at Spinbara, but the account had remained active. The issue was resolved after it was found that the casino had been unable to close the account earlier due to problems with the player's email blocking follow-up communication. Upon receiving the closure request citing gambling addiction, the account was finally closed. A review of the player's transaction history showed he was entitled to a refund of 2,888 EUR for deposits made after the reasonable time for account closure. The casino agreed to refund this amount, and the player confirmed receipt of the refund, leading to the complaint being marked as resolved.

Dear Peppino0511,

Thank you for taking the time to submit your complaint. I sincerely regret to learn about your negative experience. To clarify, I would like to explain the difference between closing an account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is a straightforward process that typically has minimal consequences. The player retains the ability to reopen their account at any time, and the casino has no obligation to the player. In fact, the casino may attempt to retain the player by offering bonuses or additional special advantages.

On the other hand, self-exclusion due to a gambling problem carries significant implications. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino commits to not reopening that account, or if they do, it will only occur under specific circumstances (after a designated cooling-off period, and this option is not available for players who struggle with addiction or gambling problems).

  • Could you kindly share the reason for your account closure? Additionally, 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

Thank you for your response, Peppino0511. I have received your email; however, I am unable to see the intended recipient, and the message does not indicate that you are experiencing a gambling problem. Both of these details are crucial for us to validate the self-exclusion.

Could you kindly forward the original self-exclusion to me as an attachment? Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Peppino0511, 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. Thank you for providing the information I needed. If I require any further details from yourself, I will reach out to you directly.


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 how was the message mentioning loss of control from 25/09/2025 and then subsequent account closure request mentioning gambling addiction as a reason from 12/11/2025 handled, 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 matej.l@casino.guru.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Dear all,


thank you for contacting us.


We have checked the case and the account, the reason because the account was not closed yet is that there is issue with the email of the customer. The closure procedure is as follows - customer contacts us via email, we ask for reason, if he provides one we ask for balance/withdrawal/open bets void confirmation. Once there is confirmation from the customer we are able to close the account. However in this case the customer's email is blocking us from sending him a follow up email asking for closure reason/void confirmation. Below is attached screenshot of the error that appears.


We can confirm that the account has now been closed upon customer's request.


If you have any further requests please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for the understanding.


Best Regards,

Spinbara team

Dear Peppino0511, have you received any e-mail confirmation abotu your caisno account being closed? If not, have yo utried to log back in to see whether you get any kind of pop up notification?


Thank you for the account closure, dear Spinbara Casino, much appreciated.

As we discussed in the past, threathening gambling addicts with balance void out is against our player protection rules and Fair Gambling Codex. While it is OK to have this requirement during regular account closure, with self-exclusion the situation is completely different.

If there was an issue with the player e-mail, I can understand that after receiving the e-mail in September, you could not confirm with the player what did he mean by "loss of control" and whether he wanted to apply a deposit limit, cool off timer or permanent self-exclusion.

However, the e-mail from 12the November requested permanent account closure, stated the reason being gambling addiction, and in our opinion should have been acted upon. If the only reason for not applying the self-exclusion was the lack of player confirming acceptance of his balance voidout, then Casino Guru sees this as a fialure in player protection and we will take the 12/11 as the date when the casino has been informed about the issue, and should have acted.

In line with the above, I would like to ask if yo ucould e-mail me (matej.l@casino.guru) player's cashier history showing both deposits and withdrawals since 12/11/2025 until the account closure alongside with any further evidence that you think might be useful in supportig your case. Thank you very much.

I just tried logging in. The message I received said my account was currently being verified. So, my account and data haven't been permanently deleted yet. I also haven't received an email. Instead, I've been getting emails offering a 50% deposit bonus. The casino should please stop doing that.


After demanding its closure, I naturally continued to deposit and play. It's like telling an alcoholic he can't have any more alcohol. That's just how addiction is.

Even when I won something in between, I never received a payout. Then I gambled the money away again. Compensation would actually be justified here, but I think that's a different issue.

Thank you so much for helping me and making such an effort.

Thank you for the confirmation. Just to make sure we are on the same page - your data will not be deleted. In case of gambling addiction, the casino needs to store your personal credentials, in order to be able preventing you from re-registering.

As for compensation, I am still waiting for the cashier history.

Dear Peppino0511, I am still waiting for the cashier history. If the casino stops communicating at all, I will close the complaint as "unresolved", which will negatively impact their safety rating within Casino Guru review. Sometimes that is enough for the casino to resume communication, once their position drops down. We'll see, I have also pinged the casino represenative to see, if he can spring them to action.

Dear Peppino0511, Casino Guru does not deal with "emotional damage" or any similar compensations. I can only request a refund of money that we believe were rightfully yours and should have not been possible to lsoe at the casino, but nothing else. Any other extra compensations are up to he casino decision or for court of law to decide. I just wanted to make this clear. :)

After the review of player's cashier history, following the standard self-exclusion procedure and player protection rules, seems like the player is entitled to a refund of 2,888 EUR in deposits made after the reasonable time for account closure has passed. I have responded to the caisno e-mail, please let us know either by direct reply or posting a message in this thread, whether the management will proceed with the refund. Thank you.
