Translation
I hereby make a formal complaint about the activities of TryBet. The service is operated by Reactivaction Limited, which is regulated by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission under an OGRA license (valid from 06.04.2023 to 05.04.2028).
This complaint concerns serious violations of responsible gaming obligations, consumer protection, and data protection rights.
Proceedings:
On March 2026, I received a marketing message from you via text message.
Immediately after this, I sent you a message:
prohibiting all further marketing
requesting self-exclusion
stating that I am addicted to gambling and in a vulnerable position (medical certificate available)
Your negligence:
You didn't reply to my message.
You did not implement the marketing ban or self-blocking I requested.
You offered no support or guidance even though I shared my vulnerable situation.
Customer support was not available.
Consequences:
I ended up playing on your platform without any protective measures.
OGRA License Violations (Isle of Man):
Your license requires, among other things:
identifying and protecting vulnerable customers
immediate implementation of self-blocking solutions
Actively promoting responsible gaming
ensuring responsible marketing
Your actions clearly violate these obligations.
Violations of EU law:
Data protection and marketing
Directive 2002/58/EC (ePrivacy Directive):
Electronic marketing requires prior consent
Marketing must be stopped immediately upon request
Directive 2005/29/EC:
Aggressive marketing is prohibited.
Vulnerable consumers must be particularly protected
Violations of Finnish legislation:
According to the Lottery Act (1047/2001):
Gambling marketing is only permitted for operators licensed in Finland.
Marketing by foreign operators to Finland is prohibited.
Marketing must not be targeted at vulnerable individuals
The casino claims it didn't receive my email, it's easy to hide behind that because I have it in my possession: which I have also provided to them.
• video evidence from email (delivered to casino)
• screenshots
• original communication (email/message)
I am fully prepared to provide this evidence to regulators and, if necessary, present it in legal proceedings.
Their live chat doesn't work, customer service is poor, they blocked my email.
They only closed my account on April 7, 2026, even though in the email they said they did it on April 6, 2026
I haven't played since April 5, 2026.

TranslationHello,
they don't have a phone number.
I didn't get any replies from them to my email.
All marketing messages are saved. The message came to my phone on March 31, 2026 at 6:11 PM.
Yes, I have lost 1800e after March 31, 2026.
I sent them several emails after this and they said they blocked me on April 6, 2026 but the account was still open (I didn't play anymore because I had no money)
If you want I can video everything, also send me the link so it goes to the casino trybet
I have everything on file. All the receipts. They don't have a system to protect all of this. Why don't they use an autoresponder system? So they can then hide behind the fact that we didn't get your email?

Dear Hubbabbubba,
we are extending the timer again, as we want to explore some other ways to establish contact with the casino. If there are any new developments on the matter, please keep us updated.
In the meantime, I strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker onto your computer and mobile. This way you can restrict your access to many gambling websites of various jurisdictions.

Dear Casino Guru Team,
Following a full review of this matter, we can confirm that Trybet acted correctly and in accordance with all applicable procedures.
During our investigation, we identified clear inconsistencies in the information provided by the player. Specifically, the email presented by the player was dated prior to the creation of any account with Trybet. In addition, the SMS referenced in the complaint was not sent by Trybet.
The matter was also reviewed by the regulator. After examining our findings and our response to the player, the regulator was satisfied with the handling of the case and subsequently closed the matter without any action against Trybet.
We therefore maintain that Trybet acted appropriately throughout and that no wrongdoing occurred on our side.
Kind regards,
Trybet Team

Dear casino representative,
thank you for your response. I will send you an additional message shortly.
Dear Hubbabbubba,
thank you for your patience. Please forward me all the self-exclusion requests dated after you have created your account. I understand you have already shown them on the screenshare video, but I believe it would be best to have access to them in their original format. You can send them to martin.l@casino.guru.
