Case summary

The player from Ireland struggled with a gambling addiction and sought help from Spinoli, requesting account limits or closure. Despite her repeated pleas, the casino responded with advice to "play responsibly" and ignored her emails. She felt that the casino had failed to demonstrate duty of care and asked for a refund of her deposits. The complaint was handled by the Complaints Team, who attempted to engage the casino for a resolution. However, as the casino failed to respond, the complaint was marked unresolved and closed, with the player advised to contact the relevant regulator for further assistance.

I have to be honest and admit I’m struggling to keep the beast that is a horrendous gambling addiction.

I opened an account with Spinoli 13 June

very shortly after back to back deposits I knew if I didn’t take action I would ruin my finances and my mental health

so I took action and reached out to live chat pleaded and begged them to block me or put limits in place I kept getting responses oh just play responsibly

I kept explaining and explaining that I didn’t need advise I was a gambling addict and I needed help i begged to them to take action not give advice I asked could they block me or implement limits I kept asking what tools they had to offer and the response was "play responsibly"

this is not acceptable for an online casino to treat people like this especially when the websites had contradicting information

They say they review and classify customer as vulnerable if they show signs of problematic gambling I clearly had all the signs I refer to 6.9.5.1

i refer to 2.1 where they say they provide active measures to avoid negative consequences

I refer to 2.2 they say they have temporary measures & limits

whilst I note very cleverly and clearly outrageous that they say it takes up to 10 days to action self exclusion request

rules 2.1 & 2.2 should come first

they also cannot say or deny they were aware I had gambling addiction as I begged them on live chat

I sent multiple emails all were ignored

also I can confirm the email was read

as on their policy for "responsible gambling " it advised of self assessment and it states if you answer yes to 2 more questions to contact support immediately

I did and the response I received was to send my request to customer care

please help I think it’s only fair they refund my deposits and review their policy as it’s horrible to treat gamblers like this

surely it is evident that they failed to demonstrate some or no duty of care whatsoever

Dear Yerwoman26,

I have repeatedly tried to contact the Spinoli Casino but have had no success. Unfortunately, without cooperation from their side, there is little that can be achieved. I will mark the complaint as unresolved in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the casino's rating caused by unresolved complaints could help change their approach. If the casino decides to respond, we will reopen the complaint and notify you by email.


In the meantime, I recommend contacting the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) also known as Anjouan Gaming by submitting a complaint through the license badge displayed in the footer of the casino’s website. Regulators often have additional tools and authority to assist players in such situations.

For guidance on how to effectively submit your complaint to the regulator, you can find helpful information in this article.


I’m truly sorry that I couldn’t provide a more favorable resolution this time.


Best regards,

Igor
