Case summary

The player from Portugal notified Sportuna Casino of her gambling problem and requested account closure on July 15, 2026, but was able to log in and make deposits afterward. After asking for a refund of her deposits, the casino closed her account without response, leaving her seeking her funds back. We reviewed the case and the casino later agreed to refund the amount, which was processed the next day. As the winnings were returned and the issue was settled, the complaint was marked as resolved.

Good evening. On July 15, 2026, I informed Sportuna Casino of my gambling problem (gambling addiction) and requested that my account be closed. I was told that the account would be closed immediately. A few days later, I tried to log in, was able to do so, and made deposits without any problems. Yesterday, I even received an email and a phone call from my account manager, something that had never happened before.

Today I asked the casino to refund my deposits made since July 15, and the casino simply closed my account. I’ve sent emails so far with no response. I want my funds back because if they had taken my problem seriously and closed my account right away, this wouldn’t have happened. I’m asking for your help with this situation. I’ve attached proof of the situation.

Dear Eliserra,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I am sorry to hear about the issue you have encountered.

I have reviewed the casino's Responsible Gambling Policy, which states the following regarding self-exclusion:

"Self-exclusion request: You can contact the Support Service Team via e-mail at support@sportuna.com, and we will close your account as soon as practicable. It is the player’s responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts they may hold and to commit not to open any additional accounts. While our Website will make reasonable efforts to prevent the creation of new accounts, it remains the player’s sole responsibility to ensure that no further accounts are opened. Our Website cannot be held responsible for any potential losses incurred on other accounts."

To better understand your case, could you please clarify a few points?

  • Did you also try to contact support through e-mail regarding your self-exclusion?
  • Could you also please send me your self-exclusion request and any communication with the casino regarding the self-exclusion? You can attach it here or send it to karla.m@casino.guru.

Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation. I look forward to your reply.

Karla M.

Good evening. I didn’t contact you by email because, since I was told that my account would be closed immediately, I felt reassured about that. I simply submitted a self-exclusion request via chat and received this response right away, so I trusted them. I’d like you to understand that for someone with a gambling problem, all of this is very complicated. Just being able to stop and request self-exclusion was already a victory for me; I just wanted the casino to have kept its promise. Right now, after requesting a refund of my deposits, my account has already been closed, but the issue remains unresolved.

Dear Eliserra,

Thank you very much for the update. I am glad to hear that the casino has agreed to refund the amount.

Could you please clarify whether you also submitted your self-exclusion request via email at any point, or whether the request was made exclusively through live chat?

If you did send a self-exclusion request by email, could you please resend or attach a copy of that email here so we can review it?

In the meantime, please keep me updated regarding the refund and let me know once the funds have been successfully received.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Karla M.
