SpinShark Casino - Player’s account closure request is delayed.

Unresolved
Our verdict

No reaction policy

Black points: 278

Amount: £1,200

SpinShark Casino
Safety Index:Low

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom requested a permanent closure of her account at SpinShark, which she had initially asked for in December, but it was reopened in February. Despite sending 30 emails and requesting the account to be permanently closed again, it remained open and she had deposited £1200 without winning anything. The player also reported a gambling addiction and requested deposit limits, but the casino failed to take appropriate action or acknowledge her concerns. We made multiple attempts to contact the unlicensed casino, SpinShark, but received no cooperation from their side. As a result, the complaint was marked as unresolved and the casino's safety rating was negatively impacted, with no further recourse available due to the lack of licensing and regulatory oversight.

In December I ask SpinShark to PERMANENTLY close my account after a few emails they closed it but 1st February I asked them to reopen my account and they did but if u ask a casino to PERMANENTLY close your casino they should t reopen it ! How I decided on 2nd February to ask PERMANENTLY close my account again as games on this site play soooo bad it takes 100s of spins to get bonuses round which are awful ! I’ve sent 30 emails now asking them to PERMANENTLY close my account it’s 10th march now it’s still open and I’ve deposited £1200 in the meantime and won nothing ! I’ve sent an emailing asking to be refunded and to close my account so it can never be reopened but I keep getting told it’s with the relevant team but nothings getting done and they let me keep depositing and losing money because it’s really bad here but shouldn’t this casino have a duty to protect its players ? Also they won’t tell me who there licence is with ! Why do they need to investigate to just permanently close my account it’s just excuse to keep it open and me keep depositing and losing my money

Dear Player,

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

Dear Player,

Thank you for your response. Could you please confirm whether you have indicated any gambling related problems to SpinShark Casino at any point? If so, could you please forward the email in which you did so separately?

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Dear Player, thank you for your message. I have carefully reviewed the evidence provided and noticed that the only reference to gambling-related issues is from March 16th. While I did come across account closure requests from December and February, these requests merely expressed dissatisfaction with the winnings and games at the casino.

Could you please confirm whether you currently still have access to your account? Has the casino acknowledged your request from the 16th of March?


Kindly be aware that without adequate evidence indicating that you expressed gambling concerns which the casino failed to acknowledge, we will not be able to request refunds of your deposits from the casino. I completely empathize with how disappointing it must be to feel unprotected by the casino, but gambling establishments are only required to implement responsible gaming measures when gambling-related issues are explicitly stated.


Please let me know of any additional evidence or any relevant details that I may have overlooked. Otherwise, I'm afraid we will have to close this complaint.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Jennings83, that is a fair assumption. SpinShark is an unlicensed casino that does not respond to complaints and even our review has placed them at 3,5 safety index points; which is in the "very bad casino" area. Playing in such shady site is always extremely risky and most likely any issue will end unresolved.

Dear Jennings83,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly via e-mails and Teams, but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from their side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system, and it will negatively impact their future safety rating on our website as such. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue at all. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach in the future. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email.

To stay safe from this and other gambling sites, I would strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker (https://betblocker.org/) onto your computer and mobile device, to keep you safe from online gambling sites while browsing the internet. It's free, and for maximum protection it is recommended to have a family member or a friend to set up the password in your stead. Also, I would advise to block all the mobile numbers and e-mail addresses that are sending you promotional materials.

As a next step, normally I would recommend you contact the proper Gaming Authority and submit a complaint with them. However, since the casino has no licence, there is nowhere else I can refer you to. I am really sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion, and would recommend in the future to check the casino review on our website before signing up, to avoid issues like this one.

Best regards,

Matej
