Hello

I've had a problem with this casino for a while now. After depositing over 20,000 PLN, I wanted to quit because, first, I felt cheated, and second, I lost control of my gambling. Three weeks ago, I submitted a self-exclusion request. In response, I received a cash voucher. I repeated the request to block my account because I lost my account and played even though I promised myself I wouldn't. Since the request, I've deposited over 10,000 PLN. Please help me recover this money and block my account. Their behavior is very unfair.

Dear WeronikaNNN,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem.

First, I’d like to clarify the difference between account closure and self-exclusion:

  • Closing an account is a simple process with minimal impact—players can reopen their accounts at any time, and the casino has no ongoing obligations toward them.
  • Self-exclusion, on the other hand, comes with stricter restrictions. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to reopen the account, except under specific circumstances (such as after a cooling-off period, but never for players with gambling problems).

Could you please forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino, along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika

Dear Spinbara Casino,

Thank you for your email and the evidence provided.

Upon reviewing the communication with the player, I would like to point out one important detail.

The player should never be "threatened" that their balance will be voided upon a self-exclusion request.

This is contradictory to the basic idea of self-exclusion and responsible gambling — to protect vulnerable players from gambling their money away.

Therefore, the player should be eligible for a refund of their deposits.

Hello,

I would also like to emphasize, ladies and gentlemen, that my primary concern is the self-exclusion situation. Specifically, the situation in which I requested self-exclusion and instead received incentives to continue playing and bonuses. Of course, as someone who noticed signs of a gambling problem, I entered these offers. This meant losing further significant funds. In summary, such behavior is immoral, and the last message from Spinbara was "threatening," stating that gambling is illegal in many countries. I'll leave this for your own analysis. However, the attempt to "intimidate" and the immoral treatment of someone who talks about gambling addiction is dramatic. And the very fact that it has been going on for so long confirms my assessment. I am still demanding a refund of the funds I paid because of my first self-exclusion request. I could demand compensation for the losses I have suffered, both emotional and financial.

Dear Igor,

 

Upon reviewing the screenshot you had shared earlier on Casino Guru thread on 15th January 2026. 

 

Please note, after using translation it is only showing mentioned self exclusion and no specific gambling addiction was mentioned in this email from the screenshot (Attached the translated version). Only self exclusion can be vague. When player only mentions self exclusion, it cannot confirm if player wants to take a break or a permanent closure. 

 

Only on 30th October 2025, player mentioned suffering due to gambling addiction. 


We are looking forward to your update.

Dear Spinbara Casino,

Thank you for your email and further explanation.


Dear WeronikaNNN,

According to the evidence provided by the casino, the first request in which you clearly stated a gambling problem was made on 30/10.

Therefore, you should be eligible only for a refund of the deposits made after this request.

Additionally, the total amount deposited by you after 30/10 should be 3,385 PLN.

Is this amount correct? Would you like to comment on this or ask any questions?

The casino is ready to proceed with the refund.

Dear Spinbara Casino,

As I have mentioned before, the player should never be "threatened" that their balance will be voided upon a self-exclusion request.

In the email you forwarded to me, you mentioned that according to your policy and point of view, you believe the player is not eligible for a refund. Therefore, there is a high chance that this case would not have been successfully resolved without our involvement.

For this reason, I will mark this complaint as "Publicity Helped", not "Resolved."

We strongly advise you to change the way you respond to self-exclusion requests, especially those coming from players with gambling problem.


Dear WeronikaNNN,

We’re thrilled to hear that your issue has been successfully resolved, and we’ll be marking the complaint as 'resolved' in our system. Thank you for your cooperation and confirmation throughout the process. We’re glad that our intervention helped to resolve the situation, and we’re always here to support you if you encounter any other issues with this or any other casino in the future. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Complaint Resolution Center—we’re committed to helping players like you.

As you know, we do not charge for our services, nor do we accept any gratuities. However, we would greatly appreciate it if you could take a moment to share your experience with our services on Trustpilot https://www.trustpilot.com/evaluate/casino.guru. Your honest review and any suggestions for improving our complaint resolution and mediation process would be invaluable. Your feedback could also assist others who are considering contacting us for help with online casino-related issues.

Thank you in advance for your time.
