I've been trying for years to stop playing here. I'm always denied. In 2025 alone, I lost €5,000 here. Probably €20,000 in total. Please help.

Dear jo64075,

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

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please advise whether your account has been blocked or if it is still accessible to you?
  • Have you tried contacting support after you learned your self-exclusion request wasn't granted?
  • Could you please share your self-exclusion requests with me? Please share the information to my email at [email protected]
  • Could you please advise 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?

I would recommend that you send another request, but this time, include me in the copy of your email.

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 Vinyl 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."

Please send another email to [email protected] (you can include me in the copy at [email protected]) and keep me informed about any further developments.

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

Dear Thomas, based on your recommendation, I wrote to Vinylcasino again and made a copy of you.

I would also like to answer your questions:

My account hasn't been suspended yet. I can still access it.

I have contacted support several times.

My last application was from June 2025, as you can see in the copy of my email.

I tried this several times before in 2024.

Unfortunately, my last deposit was yesterday. That's my addiction problem.

The casino has never responded to any of my inquiries.


Best regards,

Hello jo64075,


I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. I can see you have already provided me with exclusion requests from 17/6 and 11/6, but I would like to ask you to try to find all the other mentioned self-exclusion requests and send them to my mail [email protected]. I would also like to invite the Vinyl Casino representative to enter the discussion.


Dear casino representative,


could you please check the case and explain the matter to us? Why is the user's account still open? I strongly urge you to close it as quick as possible. In case there are any relevant reasons or issues preventing this, please let us know.


Thank you in advance for providing us with your view of the issue.

Dear casino representative,


we have just received an email from the player. He has received an invitation to your VIP program. We deem this to be unacceptable in relation to any responsible gambling policies. We strongly urge you to close the player's account tied to the attached email address immediately.

Dear Martin, the casino's statement isn't true. There's also a duty to provide information under the GDPR! I submitted a request for information about that, too. I never received a response. What happens next? I'd like a solution without the need for a lawyer and court proceedings. If necessary, I'd be willing to take this route, as I'm very upset and upset.

I've also been in the chat a few times. Unfortunately, I don't have any screenshots. I'd like to try to find a compromise here.

Dear parties,


I would like to give you an update on the current state of the matter. We have received sufficient proof, that the player's emails have not reached the casino. This is of course a very unfortunate event, and we believe neither side can be blamed for this.


We have therefore asked the casino for live chat transcripts of the conversations between the parties. The casino declines ever receiving responsible gambling related messages from the player, we therefore cannot verify the claim via this channel either.


In the interest of transparency and fair mediation, we would therefore like to propose a compromise. Given that the casino had been sufficiently informed of the player's gambling issues through this complaint, we believe a partial refund, specifically of the real money losses incurred from 9th July onward (the VIP program invitation), would represent a fair resolution to this case.

Dear Martin, thank you very much for your efforts so far. I would be happy with a partial refund. However, I haven't received an offer for that yet.

BUT: My mail and internet provider says that all emails have been transferred.

I also found a screenshot on an old phone regarding the live chat. I'll send that separately.

I also requested the following on March 17, 2024: "Vinylcasino: Information pursuant to Art. 15 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)." I received no response to this either. This could have serious consequences for Vinyl if it is reported.

Kind regards

Dear Martin, I received an offer from Vinylcasino, but it's unacceptable. I've lost a lot of money since I was verifiably informed of my desire to self-exclude.


@VinylCasino: Dear VinylCasino: Please correct the amount in the offer. It doesn't have to be ALL, but please make it fairer.


@Martin: I forwarded the offer to you with my comments.


I think we'll come to an agreement soon. But it has to look a little fairer than the offer suggests.


Kind regards,
