Sportuna Casino - Player’s account has been closed without reason.

Resolved
Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: €650

Sportuna Casino
Safety Index 8.1 High

Case summary

The player from Spain was unable to access his account at Sportuna casino, which had been closed without prior notice and under what he claimed were false allegations. He contacted the casino multiple times since the closure on December 24th, seeking information to recover his balance of approximately €650, but received contradictory responses. The casino initially voided his balance citing their terms and conditions but later approved repayment after intervention. The player provided the requested bank details, and following some delays and a cancelled payment, the full amount was finally transferred to him on April 3, 2026. The complaint was then resolved with the winnings returned to the player.

Good morning, on October 12, 2025 I decided to open an account at the Sportuna casino by making a deposit and starting to play both the live casino and mainly sports betting.


On December 9th and 12th, I made two more deposits of €300 each.


However, on December 17th, with approximately €650 in my balance, I realized that I could not log in, and a message appeared (screenshot attached) indicating that my account was under review.


It is worth noting that at no time have I received an email or communication warning me about this situation.



Since that day I have communicated via email with the casino, receiving on December 24th a communication indicating that my account has been closed under articles 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3.


These articles state facts that are, of course, completely and utterly false.


Since December 24th, I have been sending emails requesting information on how to recover the balance in my account, constantly receiving contradictory emails that only generate enormous frustration since there is no intention of returning my money.


It is for all these reasons that I am desperately turning to Casino Guru for help in recovering this money.



Greetings and thanks in advance

Dear Luisgui,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • Did you pass the verification before you lost access to the account?
  • Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?
  • Can you provide any details about the message you received when your account was under review?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Petra

Good morning Petra, firstly I had not gone through the verification process because the casino had not requested it from me.


Furthermore, I did not accept any kind of welcome bonus or any other type of bonus.


Finally, I am attaching the response I received when I contacted them to ask them to explain what was happening with my account:


We are contacting you to inform you about an important decision related to the status of your account.

  • Could you kindly confirm, to the best of your knowledge, whether you have intentionally or unintentionally utilized any prohibited tools or strategies, or if you have taken advantage of any errors related to systems or bonuses?
  • Have you received any further communication from the casino since December 24th? This can include screenshots, emails, or chat records. You can send me all the documents to: petra.h@casino.guru or post your screenshots to the thread.

Thank you again for your cooperation.

Good morning, to the first question I can categorically answer NO, under no circumstances, neither voluntarily nor involuntarily. I have simply been using my account for fun; in fact, I haven't even won any money at the casino, where I'm currently losing money.


It makes no sense.



All communications I have had with the casino will be sent to the email address you provided.


Greetings and many thanks for your work

If there are any updates or new details since your last message, please share them with me.

As part of our standard procedure, I’m also inviting a representative from Sportuna Casino to join this conversation. Their input should help us move the case forward more efficiently.


Dear Sportuna Casino,

Please provide detailed information regarding the player’s issue. In particular, we need clarification on the reasons for the account closure and whether any remaining balance is affected.

Thank you for your cooperation and a timely response.

Best regards,

Good morning Samuel, the pleasure is all mine. First of all, thank you and the CasinoGuru team for the help you provide to players against casino abuses.


There have been no updates on the case, and of course, the casino hasn't contacted me—something they haven't done at any point, even after closing my account. Throughout the entire process, the casino has only responded to my emails, avoiding any replies when I questioned them about my money.


It's clear the casino has no intention of returning the money it has fraudulently taken. The existence of casinos like this creates a great deal of insecurity among players, who feel completely and utterly unprotected.

It's deplorable that they don't even respond or take responsibility. They close your account without warning, for no reason, keep your entire balance, and refuse to answer.

Good afternoon, I've researched and found that Sportuna is regulated in the Philippines. I've inquired about the next steps and received an official response from the Philippine regulator, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), stating that Sportuna is NOT licensed or accredited by them .

PAGCOR also reports that the site will be referred to other Philippine authorities for investigation.


Therefore, we are dealing with an illegal casino that is lying about its regulator. I request that Casino Guru radically change its assessment of this casino.


Attached is a screenshot of the regulator's response.

Hello Luisgui,

thank you for your updates and for sharing all the information so far. Before we proceed further, could you clarify where you obtained the information from regarding PAGCOR and Sportuna’s licensing status? It would help to understand the source of this information so that it can be verified properly.

Please also keep me updated on any further responses you receive from the casino or authorities.

Hello everyone,

Thank you, Sportuna Casino, for the update. I understand and respect that you need some extra time to review the case, so I will give you the additional time requested.

Luisgui, regarding the information you shared: the first link appears to be an outdated review, and the other two links seem misleading - they mimic official casino addresses but when attempting registration they redirect to different casinos. For safety, I recommend relying exclusively on information available directly on the official Sportuna Casino website.

Since the casino does not appear to be licensed, it is likely that they do not wish to disclose the operator or owner publicly.

Thank you both for your cooperation.

Sportuna sent me an email saying that the payment was going to be sent, however, the next day I received an email saying that it had been cancelled.


I have emailed them, requesting the reason for the cancellation, as it may presumably be an error in the account, and I have sent them a new payment method.



I haven't received a response yet.

Hello everyone,

thank you for the update.

Dear Luisgui,

I appreciate you keeping me informed. I understand that the payment was first approved, then cancelled, and that you have already provided a new payment method.

At this point, I kindly ask you to let me know as soon as the casino responds to your email or if you receive any further update regarding the payment.

Dear Sportuna Casino,

could you please clarify why the initial payment was cancelled and confirm whether the newly provided payment details are sufficient to proceed with the transfer? Additionally, please advise on the expected timeframe for completing the payment.

I will continue monitoring the case and look forward to your response so we can move this toward a resolution.
