SpinLander Casino - Player’s account closure request is ignored.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €1,000

SpinLander Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Italy had been requesting account closure since December 17th, but the casino had not processed the request, which led to continued losses. Despite contacting live support and emailing, the player was still able to play. The player initially requested account closure without mentioning gambling problems, and only on January 13th disclosed a gambling issue, after which the account was closed within hours. Since the player had not requested self-exclusion or mentioned gambling problems before January 13th, we proceeded to reject the complaint due to lack of earlier notification. The case was closed with the casino's actions deemed appropriate based on the timeline of requests.

I've been asking to close my account since December 17th, but they still won't ask. In the meantime, I've lost a lot of money. I put in €1,000, but now I don't even know how much I've got. Live support can't close it. They won't close it from my email, and in the meantime, I'm still playing God damn it.

Dear david19988,

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 specify the reason for closing your account? Additionally, would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at attila.g@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Attila G.

Dear david19988, thank you for your emails.

I have read through your conversation with the casino's support team, however, I could not find specific mention of gambling addiction or self-exclusion request. Do I understand correctly, that the casino asked for the reason of your account closure? Have you clarified that the reason is due to gambling issues?

Please feel free to clarify if I have missed anything. If you have any additional evidence, could you please forward that as well?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

I'll send you the photos again if you want. I told them to close my profile on December 17th for gambling addiction, but when I spoke to customer support, they told me they couldn't close it without emailing me. I sent them an email, and they replied with that papyrus with the words "If you want to close it forever, reply to the email." I replied, and they didn't close it. They closed it on January 13th, almost a month ago. Is that normal?

Oh and the problem is that you can't take screenshots of chats with the assistant and I don't know why, despite this it seems crazy to me that they tell me to reply to the email to completely close the profile and then they don't close it for me.

And I think it was the assistant who sent me the email to close it permanently, or at least she warned me

Dear david19988,

First and foremost, let me mention that sometimes, less is more.

You’ve provided a very large number of screenshots and sent multiple back-to-back emails. While we understand your frustration and eagerness to resolve the issue, I kindly ask you to focus on sharing only the most relevant information in a clear and concise manner.

When too much information is presented at once—especially when it's not directly related to the core of the problem—it can actually slow down the process and make it more difficult for everyone involved to follow the case.


To clarify, do I understand correctly that the casino closed your account on the 13th of January?

Additionally, I kindly request that you forward the email dated December 17th, in which you communicated to the casino about your struggles with gambling addiction and your request for self-exclusion. Please send the email directly, without any additional attachments.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Best regards,

Attila

I wrote to your support for my problems, then I wrote to you to close my account without specifying anything, you sent me the closure email I replied to you, since it is written that if I want to close it forever I had to reply and you did nothing, €0.00 on the casino account you can never have it it is really difficult so you could have closed it when I sent you the email

It's normal for me who is losing and I'm a compulsive gambler to keep depositing until I win again, I try in any way but I can't do it

And in the email you sent earlier, you wrote that you then closed my account after the second request to close it on January 13th, when in fact I made the request and the complaints on January 9th, and in that time how much money did I lose? I would like to know, thanks.

Then I complained directly to customer support on December 17th, and told you to close it for me. I did as you said. If there's anything on it, it's up to me to ask if you can return it to me. Instead of losing €10, you've made me lose more than €1,000.

Yes, Spinlander, also specify that the second closure requested after the first was not calculated, it was done in January and you closed it for me anyway on January 13th instead of leaving it out like with me, thanks. Because then I'll look like an idiot.

Dear david19988,

Could you please provide any evidence regarding the first self-exclusion request you are referring to—the one from 9/1?

I apologize if I have missed anything, but I have not been able to find such evidence so far.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

September 1st? Get it from them since they have everything in the chat with live support, since you can't take screenshots on their live chat and we don't know why.

Dear david19988,

I was referring to January 9th.

According to one of your messages, this was the first time you requested self-exclusion.

Dear david19988,

Now I would like to clarify the timeline of events.


On 17/12, you requested your account to be closed without providing a specific reason, and the support team explained the available options to you.

However, since there was still a remaining balance on your account, the closure was not possible at that time.


After this, you continued to play normally until 09/01. On that date, you asked the support team either to grant you a bonus or to close your account.

At that point, you only mentioned dissatisfaction with low winnings.


On 13/01, you clearly informed the support team for the first time that you had a gambling problem, and your account was closed within 24 hours.


Is this correct? Would you like to add anything?

Feel free to share any additional relevant information.

The reason for closing on the 17th is in the messages from live support that you can't take screenshots, and despite this, even if I had received €2, they had to close it and ask for it as a refund. The rest was all done on the 9th and 12th of January, which I spoke to support again and expressed complaints and several thousand euros spent through their fault in those 2 days and it was closed on the 13th.

Dear david19988,

Here is the complete timeline of events with further explanation:


On 17/12, you requested that your account be closed without mentioning self-exclusion or any gambling-related problems. You stated low winnings as the reason for your request.

On 09/01, you contacted the support team again, expressing dissatisfaction with low winnings. You asked them either to grant you a bonus or to close your account.

On 13/01, you clearly informed the support team for the first time that you had a gambling problem, and your account was closed within few hours.


Please note that in none of your requests made prior to 13/01 did you mention self-exclusion or any problems with gambling.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, we will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that we were not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as we always aim to help players resolve their issues whenever possible.

Please remember that you are welcome to contact us again if you run into any problems with this or any other casino in the future. Whether it is a question, a concern or a new issue that needs to be looked into, our team is here and ready to support you.


Best regards,

Igor
