Dear aabbcc89, Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm very sorry to hear about your negative experience.

First, I’d like to clarify the difference between account closure and self-exclusion:

  • Closing an account is a simple process with minimal impact—players can reopen their accounts at any time, and the casino has no ongoing obligations toward them.
  • Self-exclusion, on the other hand, comes with stricter restrictions. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to reopen the account, except under specific circumstances (such as after a cooling-off period, but never for players with gambling problems).

Could you please specify the reason for closing your account? Additionally, would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? You can reach me at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika

Thank you for your emails.

Could you please confirm whether you mentioned gambling addiction as the reason for your account closure request for the first time on 19 March?

Also, have you made any deposits into the casino after that date?

Thank you in advance for clarifying this. I appreciate your cooperation and hope we’ll be able to move forward with your case soon.

I stated the reason after being asked. However, my emails were ignored for weeks. When you request to close your account, you are asked for a reason.


According to the website, you don't need to provide a reason when requesting self-exclusion (see screenshot in the emails from the website).


Nevertheless, I stated the reason when I was asked about it weeks later. In a second email that I sent and also forwarded to her.


And yes, I was still able to deposit money after that. About 600 euros until the account was closed.

The casino states that if you request self-exclusion, your account will be closed within 24 hours. In that case, you should ask for a reason within that time, not three and a half weeks later.


If you would like to submit a complaint, the website describes exactly what the subject line should be and what information is required.

I would like to point out that my email to the complaints office was returned undeliverable a few days later.

This isn't the case with the self-exclusion request. It simply says: Email support. I've done this, multiple times.

Hello aabbcc89, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej, and I will be assisting you with this case. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. While waiting for the casino's response, could you please share your cashier history wit hus, showing both deposits and withdrawals made since 26th February, please?


I’d like to invite a representative of Vegasino Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue with self-exclusion and clarify the situation? I would also appreciate if you can provide us with any and all relevant evidence.  

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Hello,


On March 27, I requested an analysis of my deposits (there were no withdrawals) through my then VIP manager. He wrote to me that he had forwarded it to the relevant department, but that the analysis could take up to 30 days. I haven't received anything yet.


I can no longer access my casino account, making it difficult to compile all my deposits. This is why I requested an analysis from the casino.


What additional information? I had already forwarded all the (sometimes desperate) emails I had sent to Vegasino support, requesting self-exclusion and subsequent final blocking of my account, to her colleague Veronika.


Veronika apparently already contacted the casino, and they apparently sent me an email to verify my details. However, I NEVER received the email.


I would ask you to contact the casino representative so that this email can finally be sent to me so that I know what the casino is saying.


Thanks

Dear aabbcc89, thank you for CCing me into the conversation. I have received, and read through the messages up to this date.

On one hand, the casino is correct. In your message on the 26th February, you have not mentioned anything regarding gambling addiction. Because of that, the casino has taken your request as a normal account closure, which usually takes longer - as a protection against moody players who wants to close their account every time they lose a lot of money, then request reopening it few days later. In all this time it was assumed you are not a gambling addict, therefore you are able to simply stop depositing and playing in the casino, until the account gets closed.


With this being said, we believe that a casino with 8,9 safety rating should always investigate the reasons for player's self-exclusion request, as many times this is the first step in seeking help. Also, many players tends to avoid words like "gambling addiction" altogether, which makes self-exclusion extra tricky to achieve properly.

Because of this, I would like to ask the Vegasino Casino Team, whether you would be willing to make a compromise and meet somewhere in the middle regarding the player's refund amount request.

A note from me for players in my situation: even if it is not explicitly requested, GAMBLING ADDICTION should be stated as the reason for a self-exclusion request in the very first email to support.

I wasn't asked about it until 3.5 weeks after my first email, after I repeatedly requested to be excluded. I responded that same day.


Note to Vegasino: It should be clear on the website that gambling addiction must be stated directly as a reason for the request to be responded to! Currently, it only says: Mail to - I assumed the email would be responded to within 24 hours.

Thank you for the CC and keeping me up to date, aabbcc99. Much appreciated.

Dear VegasinoTeam, could you please discuss internally the fact that after the originally sent self-exclusion request by the player, nobody from the support team (or the VIP managers) has inquired about the reason? We believe that casino with such high safety index rating as yours should have this as a standard procedure, to be able to discern between gambling addiction and the usual account closure.

I would also like to ask, if there is any chance for a goodwill gesture and increasing the refund value, given the statement above.
