Case summary

The player from Ireland had repeatedly requested to close his account due to a gambling problem, but the casino did not honor his request until he asked for a refund. He then sought to recover his funds. The complaint was resolved after the player confirmed the issue was settled. We clarified that a refund could only be pursued if there was evidence the casino should have protected the player from further play, and no sufficient proof was provided. The player acknowledged the resolution, and the case was closed.

Dear Eoin12;

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem.

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 forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino, along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at tomas@casino.guru

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Tomas

Thanks for your patience

If your account is currently not blocked, as the next step, I recommend you request self-exclusion via email at support@welle.casino, and 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 Welle 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

Please let me know about the result.

Thanks for your patience and the update provided.

Please note there is no supporting evidence for us to pursue a refund at this point, since the account closure request you submited didn't specify any gambling problems. We may only ask the casino to refund you if we can conclude that the casino should have protected you from further play.

Please let me know if there is any communication between you and the casino where you disclosed your gambling problems to the casino.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks for your reply.

Sadly, saying you have had a problem is not sufficient for us to consider your request to be sufficient to trigger player protection. Also, the address you used to contact the casino might not be valid.

Have you received any response, automated or otherwise, from said support email address at any point?

After you haven't noticed your request hasn't been processed, have you contacted the casino via other communication channels?

Please let me know.
