Vegasino Casino - Player’s account deletion request has been ignored.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €3,747

Vegasino Casino
Safety Index 7.5 Above average

Case summary

The player from Italy had requested account deletion on October 22nd due to gambling addiction, providing updated email information. However, the casino had not responded and had not deleted the account, resulting in a loss of €3,747. He claimed his status as a pathological gambler was unprotected and sought a refund for his losses incurred after the deletion request. The complaint was resolved by clarifying that the requests were sent from different e-mail address, not associated with the account, and casino only processed the self-exclusion request when it received a properly verified email on December 26th, which allowed them to securely identify the player and close the account on December 27th. The casino's handling of the situation was deemed reasonable given the security protocols requiring requests to come from the registered email address. Therefore, no refund was granted and the complaint was rejected.

On October 22nd, I asked Vegas support to immediately delete my account because I suffered from a serious gambling addiction. I specified that my account email address had changed, providing both the previous and current email addresses.

They replied that they had taken care of my application, but no one ever responded to me. Obviously, the account wasn't deleted, and obviously, being a certified patient with a medical condition, I continued to gamble, losing €3,747, after deducting my winnings and the cashback refunded to me by the VIP manager. I should add that I have proof of all this and that I've been under indefinite self-exclusion with the Italian ADM for years now.

I believe my status as a pathological patient has not been protected, and I intend to take legal action if the matter cannot be resolved amicably. Obviously, in the period leading up to October 22nd, I lost a much, much larger sum. But what I am asking for is a refund of the amount owed after my deletion request. Lastly, the site chat keeps redirecting me to: support@vegasino.com

but I don't get any answers from here.

I hope you can help me resolve this matter quickly and civilly. I take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy holiday.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Vegasino 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 as evidence.
  • 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 contact the casino again with a new self-exclusion request via email at support@vegasino.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 Vegasino 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

Hi Tomas,

Thank you for your attention.

Just today I received an email from Vegasino customer support informing me that my account was closed.

I want to give you a detailed update on how events have unfolded over the last few days.

Yesterday, I sent an official email warning them to immediately close my account and an official refund request, specifying that the request concerned the amount I had wagered, excluding wire transfers for winnings received. Today, following the support team's response, I reiterated my firm intention to continue pursuing my request, including through official communications to the ADM, to Poste Italiane, where I hold my current account, and possibly filing a complaint with the Postal Police if they fail to respond positively to my refund request.

I will send what you requested to your personal email address as soon as possible.

However, I must make a correction to what I wrote the other time on your site.

I had sent an initial email requesting account closure due to gambling addiction on August 28, 2025. Unfortunately, between the day I opened the account (late June) and August 28, my company email address had changed, so the team asked me to write from the email address registered in the account. I couldn't do this because the old email address was disabled for sending emails, but I could only read incoming emails. At that point, like a good pathological patient, I glossed over the matter and continued playing until October 22, when I communicated my firm intention to close the account and the email change that had occurred months earlier.

Again, my request was duly processed, but no one ever responded, neither by changing my email address nor by closing my account.

I also wrote an official email to the ADM because I believe my sensitive profile was not protected in any way, given that I was able to register and play on a foreign site despite having Italian citizenship and having been under indefinite self-exclusion for a long time. What kind of protection would this provide, allowing a compulsive gambler to freely register on a gaming site that is essentially unauthorized in Italy? In any case, I believe the most serious issue is that an online gaming site that receives a written request to close an account ignores it as if nothing had happened for over two months.

As soon as I have the opportunity, I'll send you the documentation you requested, truly hoping that the matter can be resolved quickly and amicably. The amount I requested is probably a quarter of what I spent on the site, and perhaps even less.

Thank you for your support and happy new year.

Dear All,


We have conducted a thorough review of all communication history regarding this case.


We would like to clarify that the first instance a Responsible Gambling issue was brought to our attention, along with the necessary account details (registered email address) to identify the user, was on December 16th. This was the earliest point at which our team could have reasonably located and closed the account based on the information provided.


In light of this, and as a gesture of fair play, we are prepared to offer a refund of the net losses incurred from that date (December 16th) onwards. The total refund amount is 420 EUR.


We believe this is a fair resolution based on the timeline of our records.


Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Support,

Please consider my email to your support dated August 28, 2025 at 11:16 am, where I asked for the closure of the account due to gambling problems, putting at the bottom my registration email which in the meantime had been closed and from which I therefore had no possibility of writing.

I certainly should have reiterated the issue of compulsive gambling in my subsequent email on October 22nd, but I still requested permanent account closure. Your team took charge of the request that same day, but it was not closed. I'm just asking this question, to clarify: isn't a simple request for immediate closure sufficient if not accompanied by the specific mention of compulsive gambling? Shouldn't a user (even if not compulsive) who requests closure receive a response? Thank you for your time and your kind response.

ps Matej has all our email history, but if you need I can send you photos of our correspondence from August and October.

thanks again

Dear Tanzalito, thank you for sending me the e-mail conversation with the casino. I will first answer your question:

I'm just asking this question, to clarify: isn't a simple request for immediate closure sufficient if not accompanied by the specific mention of compulsive gambling? Shouldn't a user (even if not compulsive) who requests closure receive a response?

Unfortunately, regular account closure is a very problematic topic and not taken seriously by the casinos, simply because the players abuse this function on a daily basis. The support team receives dozens of account closure requests daily. No reason stated, or the reason is a recent hefty loss, lack of bonuses the players would expect, feeling neglected by VIP manager, or not liking the games provided. Then few days later, the players' temper cool down and request reopening of their account, because they actually want to play in the casino. This creates unnecessary overload of work for already overwhelmed support team, who would have to keep constantly closing and reopening player accounts, not having time dealing with real issues. Therefore it is easier to keep the accounts open (seemingly ignoring these requests), because if you as a player truly doesn't want to play in the casino, you can simply delete the bookmark from your browser, or uninstall the app from your device and stop coming back. It is automatically assumed you are not a gambling addict, are in full possession of your faculties and can stop visiting the casino at will. And this is why stating the gambling addiction as a reason for account closure is extemely important. Hope this answers your question adequately.


Dear Vegasino Casino,

When checking evidence sent to me by the player, I have managed to piece together following timeline:

It seems like the original self-exclusion request from 28th August 2025 has been sent from an e-mail not associated with the player account. The staff acknowledged this and informed about the proper procedure. For security reasons, any requests connected to the player's account (especially permanent closure) needs to be sent from the correct e-mail address, to ensure legitimacy and ownership. This is non-negotiable. In case when the original address is no longer accessible by the player, it needs to be changed with the help of the support team, and ideally ask for an account suspension during this process. So far I have no evidence of e-mail change being discussed and processed.

Next is the account closure request from 22nd October 2025. This message does not mention any reason for the decision behind it. Therefore, this is considered a regular account closure and as such not relevant to this complaint.

According to both yourself and player's screenshots, another request for self-exclusion - stating player's gambling addiction as a reason - has been sent on 16th December 2025. The account has been closed on 24th December 2025, which is above the reasonable time needed for an account closure, and is considered a failure in player protection by casino Guru.

If I may, I would like to ask you to e-mail me (matej.l@casino.guru) information regarding player's account balance on 19th December, and cashier history showing deposits and withdrawals between 16/12 - 24/12, including any notes or other screenshots you think would be helpful. With that, I believe we will be able to bring this complaint to a close shortly. Thank you very much.

Matej,

Thanks for the explanations.

I have a couple of observations to make.

In the email dated October 22nd, I clearly stated that the registration address needed to be changed, precisely because of the support team's response to the August email.

Why wasn't the email changed immediately, even though the request had been properly processed? Wasn't that the team's responsibility? If I'd written again about closing down due to compulsive gambling, wouldn't I have gotten the same result as the August email?

subsequently, even though my account email address had not been changed, my December request, even though it came from an inactive email address, was exactly like the August one,

It was taken into consideration, albeit belatedly, resulting in the account being closed for compulsive gambling. I would like to be explained the exact difference between the request of December 16th (a follow-up to the one of October 22nd, which was accepted on December 27th) and the one from August, given that both came from an email address not registered in my account. Thank you.

Hello Tanzalito, if the request sent on 16/12 which the casino accepted was also not sent from the proper e-mail, that changes things dramatically. Unfortunately, most of the screenshots you provided me with never shows properly what e-mail the message was sent from, making it impossible to properly gauge the situation. This is why I asked you to send me the messages as attachments, but only received the same screenshots as you have sent to my colleague before. If you can send me the relevant messages as attachments, showing properly dates when it was sent, what e-mail address it was sent from and to what e-mail address it was going to, I will re-review the whole bunch again and amend my conclusion.


As for the e-mail change: just casually dropping a line about it at the bottom of the self-exclusion request is very unfortunate thing to do. Mixing different requests in one message is always a headache and with support agents not having time to ponder upon each word for too long, they tend to miss parts of the message. What you should have done, is to request an e-mail change in a separate message, stating the original address and the new one. The casino would verify the request is genuine and change the address for you. Then, you could have set a proper request once again and everything would be in order.


I will now swap the timer your way. Please, send me the e-mail files and once I get through them, I will post another summary and contact the casino representative regarding the new findings. Thank you very much.

If the above statement is true, can you please let us know, why the self-exclusion request sent on 24/12/2025 from the wrong e-mail address has been processed, and the account has been closed on 27/12/2025? Thank you.

Public
Public
3 months ago

Dear Matej,


To provide a clear and accurate timeline of the events regarding this case:


Although several communications were sent from an unregistered email address, they could not be processed initially due to a lack of verifiable information. The situation changed as follows:


On 16/12/2025, a follow-up email was received from the unregistered address, which for the first time specified that the closure request was due to Responsible Gaming (RG) issues.


Subsequently, on 26/12/2025, a comprehensive email was received which provided a full breakdown of the situation, explicitly including the registered email address and referencing the previous correspondence.


The December 26th email was the critical turning point that allowed our team to securely link the sender to the specific player account. For security reasons, we cannot act on sensitive requests from third-party emails until the identification is 100% certain. As soon as this complete information was provided, allowing for a definitive identification, we acted immediately and finalized the permanent closure on 27/12/2025.


Consequently, we have taken the period starting from 16/12/2025—the date the RG issue was first clarified—into account when reviewing the losses, as this was the point when the nature of the request became urgent, despite the ongoing identification process.


Best regards,

Thank you for the comprehensive explanation, dear Vegasino Casino, this makes sense and I agree with both the reasoning behind this, as well as the way this issue has been handled by the support staff.


Dear Tanzalito,

With the explanation above, I believe the casino did the best they could in the given situation. Majority of casinos require any requests regarding player account to be sent from the associated e-mail address, to ensure no impostor is trying to gain access or defraud the legitimate player. When a request comes from different address, most of the time it's not dealt with, due to the inability to prove the sender.

Once you lost your access to the original e-mail, you should have followed the casino's terms and immediately inform the support staff, who would help you get the e-mail address changed. Afterwards, you could have sent the self-exclusion request from the new e-mail address and avoid all these issues.

Since this did not happen, and the casino staff could verify your identity and connection to the account on 26th December, then proceeded and excluded yourself within 24 hours, there is nothing more I can mediate on your behalf. The acount hs been closed within reasonable time, and I can't request any refund, due to the above reasons.

I would strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker (https://betblocker.org/) onto your computer and mobile device, to keep you safe from online gambling sites while browsing the internet. It's free, and for maximum protection it is recommended to have a family member or a friend to set up the password in your stead. Also, I would advise to block all the mobile numbers and e-mail addresses that are sending you promotional materials.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, I will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding.

Please remember that you are welcome to contact us again if you run into any problems with this or any other casino in the future. Whether it is a question, a concern or a new issue that needs to be looked into, our team is here and ready to support you.
