Case summary

The player from Germany had requested account closure on September 29, 2025, but her confirmation was ignored after an email stated that her account was blocked for 24 hours. As a result, she faced additional losses due to her gambling addiction. The Complaints Team clarified that her initial request did not mention gambling issues, making it a regular account closure rather than a self-exclusion. The casino confirmed that the account had been permanently closed and could not be reopened. Ultimately, the complaint was closed due to the player's lack of response, but she retained the option to reopen it in the future.

I requested account closure on September 29, 2025. I received an email on September 30 stating that my account was blocked for 24 hours and that I needed to confirm my decision. I did so immediately. Unfortunately, my request was ignored. Due to my gambling addiction, I lost another €800. I'm asking for your support.

Dear mex26,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. First, I’d like to explain to you what the difference is between closing the account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is simple and has almost no impact - the player can reopen the account anytime, and the casino has no obligation to the player. 

On the other hand, self-exclusion does. If a player successfully makes a self-exclusion the casino agrees not to open this account or if yes only under particular circumstances (after the cooling off period and this cannot be done for players who are addicted/with gambling problems).

  • Have you specifically mentioned your gambling problem when requesting an account closure?
  • Have you contacted live chat support upon discovering that you still have access to your account?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Katarina

Dear mex26,

thank you for your message.

Is this the only communication you had regarding your self exclusion? It seems this has been a communication with a live chat bot.

Have you sent any emails requesting a self exclusion because of the gambling problem, please?

Could you please share those with me? My email is katarina.d@casino.guru.

Looking forward to your reply,

Katarina

Dear mex26,

thank you for your message and email.

Could you please clarify when was the last time you made any deposit at this casino, please?

Additionally, have you tried to contact the live chat once again, as it seems your initial confrontation was only with a live chat bot?

Looking forward to your reply,

Katarina

Based on the email from Turbowins dated September 30th, I assume my request for exclusion was understood. Since I was asked to confirm my request within 24 hours, I did so immediately!

Hi there,


The player requested an account closure on September 29, 2025, without mentioning any gambling addiction. As per our standard procedure, the account was blocked for 24 hours, and a confirmation was required to finalize the closure. The player reached out during this temporary block and was advised to wait until it ended.

We received no indication of a gambling problem until October 7, 2025, when the account was immediately and permanently closed.


Kind regards,

Turbo Wins Casino Team

That's right, I already requested a closure within the first few hours. This request must be granted! If a closure is requested twice within a few hours, the casino should comply!

I would like to thank the Turbo Wins Casino for providing further details.

Dear mex26, according to the Turbo Wins statement above, as well as the evidence provided by yourself, the account closure request from the 29th September is not mentioning gambling addiction. Because of that, it can't be considered a self-exclusion request, but rather a regular account closure. In such case, since the casino had no knowledge of any possible gambling issues, it is impossible for Casino Guru to mediate any kind of refund.

During a regular account closure it is assumed the player is in full control of their gambling and spending habits, and always have the option of simply not playing, until the account is closed (or in theory even if it never gets closed). It is the same as having a bad experience in a restaurant - you can choose not to come back.

This is why mentioning gambling issues is very important, and even according to Casino Guru's player safety values, we can't put 100% of the responsibility on the casinos. Therefore, we always ask the players to make the first very important (and some say the hardest) step and acknowledge having a problem. If that does not happen, we don't have much to go on by. Only once the problem is stated, we can ask the casino to urgently deal with such requests.


However, on 7th October you have mentioned having the gambling addiction, and the casino confirmed the account has been promptly closed. To move this case forward, I would like to ask the following:

Dear Turbo Wins Casino Team, can you please confirm the account is blocked permanently with no option for reopening, the customer will not be able to re-register using the same credentials and that all the marketing communication has ceased?

Dear mex26, as per above, I will not be able to request a refund of the deposits made before 7th October. Unless there are other messages I am not aware of, where the gambling addiction has been mentioned, I will be closing this complaint after the casino confirms the self-exclusion process has been finished. I understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for, but hopefully I was able to explain the reasoning behind it, and how it aligns with Casino Guru values and views. Please, let me know if you have any questions or if there is anything else I may have missed. Thank you.

It's a real shame that a request to close an account can be ignored like this.

Thank you, Turbo Wins Casino, for the confirmation.

Dear mex26, I completely understand your dissatisfaction with the fact, that an account closure request being seemingly ignored is currently a standard for the gambling industry. There are two reasons for this:

  1. As mentioned before, there is a huge difference between a regular account closure and self-exclusion due to the gambling addiction. During regular account closure the player always have an option to simply stop visiting the casino and depositing more money. It is assumed such player is in full possession of their faculties and can make rational decisions. Because of that, the casino is even allowed to offer such player a bonus or other special treatment, to entice them to come back and resume playing. Only when the addiction is clearly mentioned, the casino should be doing everything in their power to block such account and prevent the player from further losses, they otherwise incur due to the inability to resist the addiction.
  2. Second reason is the players themselves. Casinos are dealing with dozens of account closure requests flooding their mailbox daily. Majority of such requests are written in the heat of the moment after a heavy loss, a loss streak or as a way to squeeze out a free bonus with messages like "either give me a bonus or close my account". Also majority of these requests are constantly being cancelled because the players either calm down and want to resume playing, or they hit a big win and everything is alright again. For this reason the casinos often seemingly ignore the regular account closure requests - giving the players time to calm down, reconsider their decision and hopefully save themselves a lot of pointless administrative work with closing and reopening the same accounts several times per month.

Due to the above, we have to clearly distinguish between regular account closures and gambling addiction issues, and act accordingly. Since in your case the addiction has been mentioned on 7th October and the account has been closed in a reasonable time, I am unable to request any kind of refund on your behalf. I know this is not the outcome you have expected, but I am hoping at least I was able to explain the situation and the processes involved when dealing with account closures and gambling addiction. If you have any further questions or issues, please do not hesitate to post them in this thread, and let me know whether the complaint can be now closed. Thank you very much.

We regret to inform you that, due to the lack of response from the player to our messages, inquiries, and reminder, we are unable to proceed with further investigation or provide potential solutions at this time. As a result, we must close this complaint for the moment.
However, please note that the player retains the option to reopen this complaint at any time in the future should they choose to resume communication. We remain open and ready to assist in resolving the matter should the player decide to reach out again.

Thank you for your understanding.
