Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €350

Spirit Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Austria had requested account closure multiple times but had received no response, which led to continued gameplay and losses due to her gambling addiction. The casino eventually closed her account permanently on December 9th, after her first explicit mention of gambling addiction, and noted the closure as gambling-related with no balance to return. The Complaints Team found no evidence of earlier addiction-related requests and determined the casino had acted appropriately and within a reasonable timeframe. Consequently, the complaint was rejected, and the player was advised to use tools like BetBlocker for future protection.

Dear claudi3110,

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).

Have you mentioned addiction or gambling problems in any of your account closure requests? In the screenshots you submitted with your complaint, you only mentioned losses and that playing is no longer fun. We cannot consider these reasons as valid self-exclusion requests. If you have any conversations where you mentioned addiction and requested your account to be closed, kindly forward them to me, along with the casino's responses, at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika

Hello!

If I send the casino 10 emails asking them to close my account because I've already suffered significant losses, including through chat support, and yet I continue to play, it's obvious I have an addiction problem! Who readily admits that? The casino hasn't responded to me to this day and never asked why I want to close my account!

Best regards, Claudia

The casino still hasn't closed my account, even though I wrote that I've already suffered significant losses!

Thank you for your responses. From the screenshots you uploaded to our website, it seems that you mentioned a gambling problem in your last message to the casino only. Have you received any response from customer support regarding this most recent request? If so, kindly forward it to me at veronika.f@casino.guru. Has the casino closed your account in the meantime?

I mentioned several times in the chat that I have an addiction problem, and no one ever reacted! It's unbelievable how this casino cheats and lies!

Dear Spirit Casino, thank you very much for the response. Could you please confirm, the account has been closed permanently, with no option for reopening, and marked with the notes about player's gambling addiction?

Additionally, I would like to ask if player's account balance at the time of closure has been above 0, and if so, if it has been returned to the player or voided. Thank you very much.

I had already asked about this several times in the chat and mentioned my gambling addiction. They only reacted after I contacted Casino Guro!

Dear Matej,


In response to your questions, we can confirm that the player’s account has been permanently closed and cannot be reopened. The reason for the closure was gambling-related issues, and this has been duly noted on the account.


At the time of the account closure, the player’s balance was 0, and therefore no funds were subject to return or voiding.

I had already pointed out my addiction problem in the chat long before that! And the casino didn't react. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to the chat history, or it was deleted! The casino is lying!

Thank you Spirit Casino for the confirmation.


Dear claudi3110, unfortunately without evidence there is not much else I can do for you. From the screenshots you have uploaded, until 9th December you requested account closure either without stating the reason, or the reason being "not having fun" and "losing a lot of money". Neither of those are considered gambling addiction issues, as "having fun" and "lot of money" are very loose and relative terms. Some have fun only when winning, for some 100€ is a lot of money while others spend that on a single bet not even thinking about it.

For this reason we always encourage players to openly state gambling addiction as a reason for account closure, as those are clear reasons for the casino staff to act promptly upon. Since you provably stated gambling addiction for the first time on 9th December 2025 and the account has been closed within 24 hours - without voiding any balance - there is nothing else I can mediate. Due to these reasons the complaint will be now rejected.

Before you go, 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.

Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that I was 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.
