Dear Casino Guru,
I am requesting your assistance regarding SpinRise Casino’s refusal to pay my legitimate winnings of €1,400.
Approximately one year ago I self-excluded from SpinRise because I was a gambling addict. My account was closed and I could no longer access it. Despite this, SpinRise continued sending me promotional emails encouraging me to return. I previously complained about these emails to both SpinRise and Casino Guru and was assured the marketing would stop, but it continued.
Eventually I opened a new account using a different email address, but I used my real identity throughout. My email still contained my first and last name, and I registered with my real phone number, address, driving licence and proof of address. SpinRise verified my identity and allowed the account to remain active.
I deposited €100. I then emailed SpinRise stating, "I’d like to self exclude. I’m a gambling addict." Instead of processing my request, they encouraged me to remain a customer and promoted their casino and games. They did not self-exclude me.
After that I deposited another €120 and, using only my own money and no bonuses, I legitimately won €1,400.
I immediately requested a withdrawal. While waiting, I repeatedly contacted support asking where my money was. I was repeatedly told withdrawals could take up to 48 hours and to continue waiting.
While waiting for the withdrawal, I deposited another €158, which I lost. After approximately 36 hours, my withdrawal still had not been processed, so I contacted support again and was again told to wait. I then deposited another €100. I played until my balance reached €96, when my account was suddenly closed while I was actively playing.
Only after closing my account did SpinRise tell me they were confiscating my €1,400 winnings because of a "duplicate account" and would only refund my deposits.
I believe this is unfair because:
My previous account had already been closed due to self-exclusion.
SpinRise continued sending promotional emails despite assuring me they would stop.
They verified my identity using my genuine documents.
They accepted all of my deposits.
They ignored my request for self-exclusion after I clearly told them I was a gambling addict.
They repeatedly told me to wait for my withdrawal instead of raising any issue with my account.
They only relied on the duplicate account rule after I had won €1,400.
I have evidence of every part of this complaint, including my previous self-exclusion, the promotional emails, my complaint about those emails, SpinRise’s promise that they would stop, my self-exclusion request, their response encouraging me to continue playing, the withdrawal correspondence, and the emails confirming that my winnings were confiscated.
I respectfully request Casino Guru’s assistance in reviewing this dispute and helping me recover my legitimate winnings.
