Safety Index:Above average

Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom had requested a self-exclusion from TikiTaka due to gambling issues, but the casino failed to implement it, allowing her to log in and lose £1012. After she inquired about the unimplemented exclusion and requested a refund, the casino closed her account and ignored her concerns. The Complaints Team intervened, and the casino ultimately approved the refund of £1012, which was confirmed to have been sent to her bank account. The complaint was marked as resolved.

I requested a self exclusion on my account at TikiTaka due to gambling issues which I informed them of when asking for the exclusion via email on 21/09 to which I was asked straight away to confirm my decision which I did right away. Despite this, a week later on 29/09 I was able to log in and continue playing because my self exclusion had not been applied despite my confirmation.


As a result, I lost £1012 during this period. The casino failed to enforce responsible gambling measures and did not respect my self exclusion request. I then emailed the casino on 29/09 to ask why this had not been implemented after a week and if I could ask for a refund request. They responded by closing my account and ignoring my request and the concerns I highlighted about my self exclusion and declining a refund request.


I have added screenshots and my conversations with the casino as evidence.

Dear Em1999,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. I checked the Responsible Gambling section, and I found this:

Self-exclusion request: You can contact the Support Service Team via e-mail at support@tikitaka.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.

Could you please clarify when exactly you made the last successful deposit? Do I understand correctly that you currently don't have access to your casino account?

Additionally, if there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here.

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Kristina

Hi kristina,

Thankyou for your response,

My last successful deposit was on 29/09 I have these on my bank statements if needed, I currently do not have access to my account it was blocked by them after I raised my concerns to their complaint team.


I also want to note that according to the official Curaçao Online Gaming License Registry, TikiTaka’s former licence was withdrawn in April 2025, meaning the casino may now be operating without a valid license. Several independent sources have also confirmed that TikiTaka does not currently hold any active licence from a recognised regulator, and their own website admits they are not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission.


I also never completed any ID verification or received any withdrawals.


Please let me know if you need me to forward any evidence directly to your email or attach it here.


Thank you again for your time and support with this matter.

Kind regards,

Emily
