Spinfin Casino - Player requests assistance due to delayed withdrawals.

Resolved
Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: €1,100

Spinfin Casino
Safety Index 5.9 Below average

Case summary

The player from Germany had deposited €1,102 with Spinfin but had not received any withdrawals or refunds despite multiple polite requests. He expressed concerns over the legality of the casino's operations for German players and highlighted that his request for self-exclusion due to gambling addiction had also gone unanswered. We reviewed the correspondence and concluded that his original exclusion request had been effective, so the casino was asked to refund the losses made after that point. Spinfin first offered €315, but after further review we maintained that €405 was justified, and the casino then accepted this amount and issued the refund. The player confirmed receipt of the €405, so the complaint was resolved.

Dear Casino Guru Team,

I would like to file a complaint against Spinfin and request assistance in clarifying my case.

I deposited a total of €1,102 with Spinfin and have not received any withdrawals. After contacting the provider and requesting a refund of my deposits, my request was initially forwarded to the relevant department. However, I have since been informed that a refund will not be issued.

In my view, there are serious doubts about the legality of the offer to German players. For this reason, I have tried to find an out-of-court settlement with the provider and have contacted them politely and cooperatively on several occasions.

The communication proceeded as follows:

I have requested a refund of my deposits.

Spinfin informed me that my request would be reviewed.

According to support, the matter has been forwarded to the responsible department.

A satisfactory solution or refund has not yet been offered.

I therefore request that Casino Guru review my case and mediate between me and the operator. I will gladly provide the complete email correspondence and proof of my deposits upon request. Furthermore, my request for self-exclusion due to gambling addiction has gone unanswered. It has not been implemented. I hereby warn all players about this scam casino.

Thank you for your support.

Best regards

Hello, Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm truly sorry to hear about your issue with Spinfin Casino. However, I'd like to inform you that we accept the situation when the casino allows players from restricted countries to open an account as long as they don't use this as an opportunity to later cancel the player's legitimate winnings. In other words, if the casino allows players from restricted countries to deposit and play, they should pay out their winnings as well.

Therefore, I would like to emphasize that we investigate further and help only those players whose funds (or winnings) have been confiscated due to being from a restricted country.


In relation to the responsible gaming aspect of the complaint - could you please forward your self-exclusion request? You can reach me via email at attila.g@casino.guru.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Attila

Hello ydecker0011,


I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. As the first order of business, I would like to invite the Spinfin Casino representative to enter the discussion.


Dear casino representative,


could you please check the case and explain the matter to us?


The player has provided evidence showing that he explicitly requested account closure because of gambling addiction on 10 July 2026. Although your support acknowledged his request, it seems the account was not closed while further permanent-exclusion requests followed and deposits apparently remained possible.


Could you please provide the complete transaction history from 10 July until the eventual restriction? You can send the records privately to me at martin.l@casino.guru.


Thank you in advance for providing us with your view of the issue.

Dear Martin and ydecker0011,


Thank you for your patience while we reviewed the full correspondence and account history relating to this case.

Based on our review of the chat and email correspondence, we would like to clarify the sequence of events as follows:

The player's first contact regarding account closure was made on 11 July 2026, when he reached out to us about a gambling-related concern. At that point, our team responded the same day, on 11 July, offering the standard responsible gambling options available, including a cooling-off period, temporary account breaks, and deposit limits, in line with our responsible gambling procedures.

Following this, on 11 July, the player instead stated he had not noticed any VIP benefits. In response, on 11 July he requested bonus to be added, after his request €40 cash back was credited to his account.

after this, the player also requested a no-deposit bonus, adding that otherwise he would like his account blocked. Our team responded again offering a cooling-off period and encouraging the player to take a break from the platform.

In response, on 12 July, the player stated:

"No, I want a no-deposit bonus. Or I want my cash back for sports betting or casino tomorrow. You can credit it to me today, then I'll have another chance to win something and can reconsider the block."

This response is the reason the account remained open at that time, as the player himself indicated he wished to continue playing rather than proceed with closure.

The player's clear and explicit request for account closure was subsequently made on 21 July 2026, when he stated that he wanted to block his account due to gambling addiction.

The account was closed on 27 August 2026. During the period between the 21 July request and the account closure on 27 August, a deposit of €35 was made.

Given this sequence of events, €35 is the amount we are able to offer the player as a refund in relation to this matter.


Kind regards,

Spinfin Casino Support Team

Ladies and Gentlemen

I cannot agree with your account.

On July 10th/11th, 2026, I explicitly requested that my account be blocked due to gambling addiction. A report of gambling addiction does not lose its significance simply because an affected player subsequently attempts to continue playing or asks for bonuses. This very contradictory behavior is not uncommon in cases of gambling addiction.

Furthermore, on July 16, 2026, I explicitly wrote again: "Please block my account due to gambling addiction." You completely ignore this message in your statement.

I therefore request an explanation as to why neither my first nor my renewed blocking request of July 16, 2026 was considered an effective self-exclusion and why you instead set the relevant date at July 21, 2026.



Attached is the screenshot of the blocking requests from July 10th (not July 11th).

and 16.07 (not 21.07).

ydecker0011,

Thank you for your message and for sharing the additional screenshots.

Regarding the date discrepancy: we have checked the correspondence you referenced, and while the message was sent on your end on 10 July, it was received and logged in our system on 11 July, which is why our earlier summary referenced that date. We acknowledge this small timing difference and do not dispute that your initial request was raised around this time.

In that same correspondence, our team responded by offering the responsible gambling tools available at that stage, including deposit limits and a cooling-off period. In response, you indicated that you wished to receive a bonus and did not want to proceed with closing your account at that time. We take reports of gambling-related concerns seriously, but when a player declines the offered account-closure or cooling-off options and expresses a wish to continue playing, we are not in a position to override the player's own stated decision and close the account against their expressed wishes.

Regarding 16 July, as you have pointed out, we did respond to your message that day by again offering the full range of responsible gambling options: temporary gaming break, deposit limits, cooling-off periods, permanent self-exclusion, and additional account restrictions.

Following this, you subsequently confirmed that you wanted the account closed, which is reflected in your message of 22 July. As this was the point at which a clear and unambiguous closure request was communicated and not followed by any further request to continue playing, we consider 21 July to be the effective date on which the closure request should have been actioned.

We hope this clarifies the sequence of events and the basis for the dates referenced in our earlier summary.

Kind regards,

Dear Martin, dear Spinfin Support,

The casino's reasoning contradicts all principles of responsible gambling and the guidelines of Casino Guru.

The casino openly admits that I requested closure due to gambling addiction on July 10th/11th and July 16th. The casino's claim that an account cannot be closed "against the player's will" if the player subsequently requests bonuses is absolutely unacceptable.

This is precisely the nature of addiction: the compulsive urge to continue gambling despite the will to stop. A casino has a strict duty of care to immediately and permanently block an account upon notification of gambling addiction, instead of further encouraging the player to gamble with cashback and bonuses.

Since the casino demonstrably knew about my gambling addiction from at least July 11th, it is liable for all losses incurred thereafter. I now ask Martin for his final assessment of this case.


Attached you will find confirmation of receipt of the emails by the casino.

To claim that the emails arrived much later is a blatant lie.

Dear parties,


thank you both for offering us your respective points of view.


To clarify and finalize the timeline, I need to review the casino’s complete response to the player’s self-exclusion request of 16 July.


Dear ydecker0011,


please forward the response you received from the casino that day, preferably as an original email file.


Dear casino representative,


if possible, please also provide the response sent on 16 July, including its full wording and timestamp.


The records may be sent privately to me at martin.l@casino.guru.

Dear Martin,

Regardless of the discussion about July 16th, I would like to refer once again to my original message from July 10th, 2026.

In this email I explicitly wrote:

"Please block my account due to gambling addiction. Delete all my data and block me at partner casinos as well. Please put me on the blacklist of the entire casino system so that I can no longer create an account anywhere."

In my view, this wording leaves absolutely no room for interpretation. I did not ask for a deposit limit or a break from gambling, but explicitly requested the permanent closure of my account due to gambling addiction and even asked to be banned company-wide.

The casino was therefore aware of my gambling addiction from that point onward. The fact that I, as a gambling addict, subsequently continued to try to gamble or inquire about bonuses does not, in my view, alter the clarity of this notification. Unfortunately, contradictory behavior is typical in cases of addiction and should not lead to an explicit self-exclusion request being ignored.

Therefore, when assessing this case, I ask that particular consideration be given to the fact that the message of July 10th already contained a clear and unambiguous report of gambling addiction as well as an explicit request for a permanent ban. Here again are the screenshots for everyone, which I sent you by email and which explicitly prove that my email of July 16th was only answered on July 22nd.



Thank you.

Dear ydecker0011,


thank you for your continued cooperation.


Dear casino representative,


Thank you for your explanation. Having reviewed the complete timeline, I do not believe the player’s later request for a bonus cancelled his original self-exclusion request.


The initial message clearly requested account blocking because of gambling addiction and even asked for exclusion across the wider casino group. Once this information was received, the player’s subsequent contradictory behavior should not have been treated as a safe withdrawal of that request. In my view, continuing to offer responsible-gambling alternatives and allowing further play defeated the purpose of the protection he had requested. The later request of 16 July further confirms that the player still wanted to be excluded, but it does not replace the original request.


Allowing a reasonable period for the initial request to be processed, the submitted transaction history shows subsequent deposits of €90, €200, €80 and €35, producing a total eligible net loss of €405. The earlier deposits are not being included.


I therefore ask Spinfin Casino to reconsider its position and refund €405 rather than €35. If your records show any withdrawals or another reason why this calculation is inaccurate, please provide the complete transaction history for review.

Hello Martin and ydecker0011,

Thank you for your assessment and for the time taken to review the timeline.

We would like to clarify our position. On the request made on 10 July, the player himself indicated that he did not want the account to be closed. In the same correspondence he asked for a bonus and said he wanted his VIP level to be retained. We offered responsible gambling options at that stage, including a cooling-off period, temporary breaks and deposit limits. As the player's own stated wishes were to keep playing and keep his VIP status, we were not able to disregard them, and so we are not able to treat that date as a self-exclusion request.

The player's request for closure was made on 16 July. After that request, the deposits made were €200, €80 and €35, which total €315. The €90 deposit was made before this request, so it falls outside the eligible amount.

On this basis, and as a goodwill gesture, we are prepared to offer the player a refund of €315. Please note that no other funds will be offered from our side.

Kind regards,

Spinfin Casino Support Team

Hello everyone,


I would like to clarify that at no point did I state that I did not want to be blocked or that I would withdraw my blocking request.


My message of July 10th explicitly requested a permanent ban due to gambling addiction and exclusion from the entire casino group. Subsequent bonus requests may have been contradictory, but in my view, they do not constitute an explicit withdrawal of this ban request.


I therefore agree with Martin's assessment that my original blocking request was effective and that the subsequent bonus requests did not override it.


In light of this, I urge Spinfin to follow Casino Guru's recommendation and make the proposed refund of €405 so that the case can be resolved amicably and to the satisfaction of all parties involved.


Thank you.


Best regards

Dear casino representative,


thank you for your response.


Could you please provide the complete correspondence from 10th and 12th July, including the player’s bonus requests and your responses? Please send it privately to me at martin.l@casino.guru.


I would like to review the full exchange to understand the context of the statements quoted in your replies.


Nevertheless, our general position remains as previously explained: a clear request for exclusion because of gambling addiction should trigger protective action, and subsequent requests for bonuses should not, by themselves, be treated as cancelling that request.


I would like to consider the complete correspondence before concluding this complaint.

Dear parties,


Thank you for your cooperation. Having reviewed the complete correspondence, I believe it strengthens the player’s position and supports my assessment of a €405 refund.


Although Spinfin offered responsible-gambling tools, the same response also highlighted the VIP program if the account remained open. Cashback and a deposit bonus were then promptly offered. In my view, this undermined the protection requested after the player explicitly disclosed gambling addiction.


Nevertheless, in case the casino refuses to pay €405, would both parties be willing to agree to the offered €315 refund as a partial settlement? This would be voluntary and would not change my assessment of the full eligible amount.


If agreed and receipt is confirmed, I would propose closing the complaint as partially resolved, with the remaining €90 reflected in the complaint’s impact on the casino’s Safety Index, subject to internal review.

Thank you for your message and for providing the correspondence.


I would like to clarify, that upon receiving the latest message from the casino, €315 may be a realistic full settlement. This remains conditional on reviewing its supporting records, which I have asked the casino to resend in an accessible format.


I will assess those records alongside your original self-exclusion request before confirming whether the proposed amount is justified. No final conclusion has been reached, and I will update you once the evidence has been reviewed.

Dear casino representative,


Thank you for providing the records. I can confirm that the files open correctly. Having considered whether €315 could be justified as a full settlement and reviewed the supporting records, my assessment remains that the supported refund is €405.


The original request clearly stated gambling addiction and was acknowledged on 11 July. The later bonus requests do not change that assessment, and the renewed exclusion request on 16 July does not replace the original one. Allowing a reasonable period for processing, the €90 deposit on 16 July remains included alongside the subsequent deposits totalling €315.


Please reconsider your offer and confirm whether you will arrange the €405 refund.

Dear Martin,

Thank you very much for reviewing the documents again and confirming your assessment that a refund of €405 is justified.

Since the proceedings have already extended over a considerable period of time and there have been repeated difficulties with access to the submitted documents, I would be pleased if the case could now be concluded promptly.

I understand that reviewing all relevant documents can take time. Now that the documents are available and you have reaffirmed your assessment, I hope Spinfin will issue a final statement soon and confirm the refund of €405.

Should the casino approve the refund, I would also ask you to ensure that the payout is subsequently processed without further unnecessary delays. Given the length of the process so far, a timely resolution is very important to me.

Would it be possible to ask the casino for a concrete response within a reasonable timeframe so that the process is not further prolonged?

Thank you very much for your support and your work so far.

Best regards.
