Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom faced issues with a casino that allowed account creation and deposits despite their Terms and Conditions stating that UK players were restricted. Additionally, the player had repeatedly requested account closure due to a gambling addiction, but the casino failed to comply and continued to encourage activity. We reviewed the communications and evidence provided by both the player and the casino, noting discrepancies in the reasons given for account closure requests and concerns about account verification. Ultimately, the player received refunds directly from the payment processor rather than through the casino, and the complaint was marked as resolved.

The casino’s Terms and Conditions state that players from the United Kingdom are restricted from using the platform. However, during registration, the casino allowed me to select "GB / United Kingdom" on the signup form, successfully create an account, and make deposits without restriction.

In addition to this, I repeatedly requested that my account be closed. Despite multiple requests, the casino failed to permanently close the account and continued allowing access and deposits.

I also informed the casino that I had a gambling addiction and was struggling with gambling-related harm. Instead of immediately restricting or permanently closing the account, the casino continued engaging with me and even offered bonuses intended to encourage continued activity and keep the account open.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Vegas Nova Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so we can better determine how to assist you.

  • Is your account currently accessible to you?
  • Could you please share the communication in which you informed the casino about your gambling issues? Please share the information with timestamps if available, to my email at tomas@casino.guru
  • When was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
  • Has the casino responded to your refund request already? What did the casino reply?

If your account is currently not blocked, as the next step, I recommend you request a new self-exclusion via email at support@vegasnova.com, and at the same time, include me in the copy of the email at tomas@casino.guru

When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the period. Additionally, the email subject should be marked and easily recognizable, as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly, you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible.

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion:

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

Date of birth:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings Vegas Nova Casino Support,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be immediately excluded from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material permanently.

The reason for my decision is that I am suffering from gambling problems.

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and that the self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."

In the meantime, check other resources and information in our responsible gambling guide found here: https://casino.guru/responsible-gambling-guide

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,

Tomas

You also send promo text messages to me from Vegas Nova UK?


Ive requested a refund multiple times now with no response and it took weeks to close the account down.

Thank you for your patience.

The casino has now supplied internal records, chat transcripts, and account activity logs relating to your case. Based on the information received, there are several points that require clarification before I can continue my assessment.

According to the records provided by the casino:

On 13/05 and 14/05, you contacted support requesting account closure. However, the reasons recorded in the chat transcripts were related to dissatisfaction with bonuses and winnings rather than gambling addiction, self-exclusion, or gambling-related harm.

On 15/05, the casino states that restrictions were placed on the account due to a fraud/risk investigation.

The casino has provided logs showing multiple deposit attempts after the restriction was applied, which were reportedly blocked by their system.

The casino also alleges that a chargeback process had already been initiated before the formal complaint was submitted.

Additionally, the casino has raised concerns regarding account verification and ownership, which they claim are currently under review.


At this stage, I would like to give you an opportunity to comment on these findings and provide any evidence that may help clarify the situation.

Could you please answer the following questions in the best way possible:

Do you have any emails, live chat transcripts, screenshots, or other communications sent prior to 15/05 in which you explicitly informed the casino that: you were suffering from a gambling problem, you wished to self-exclude, you requested account closure due to gambling addiction or gambling-related harm? So far, the communication concerning gambling addiction you shared was done on 18/05.

The casino has provided chat transcripts showing that the reasons given for closure requests on 13/05 and 14/05 were related to bonuses and winnings.

The casino has provided logs showing deposit attempts after restrictions were placed on the account. Can you explain the circumstances surrounding those attempts? Did you initiate any chargebacks or payment disputes relating to your deposits? If so, please confirm: the date they were initiated, the payment provider used and the reason provided for the dispute.

After 15/05, did you attempt to make any deposits? If yes, please confirm whether the deposits were successful or not.


Please note that at this stage Casino Guru has not reached any conclusions regarding the merits of either party's position. I am currently reviewing the evidence from both sides and will assess the matter based on the complete chronology of events and supporting documentation.

I look forward to your response.
