Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom reported that the casino Winplace operated without a valid license, making their services illegal. Despite the player’s request for account closure and self-exclusion due to gambling-related harm, the casino continued to allow deposits. The player sought a full refund of all deposits made since May 1, 2026. We informed the player that we did not handle complaints related to licensing and legality issues and requested further communication to proceed. Due to the player’s lack of response, the complaint was closed without resolution.

Here’s a clear, concise description you can copy and paste directly into the report form:

Problem description:

The website Winplace operates without a valid licence from the UK Gambling Commission, so it is illegal for them to offer gambling services or accept payments from customers in the UK.


On [insert date you first asked to be blocked], I formally notified them that I have gambling-related harm and requested immediate account closure, self-exclusion, and a stop to all deposits.


Despite this clear request, they completely ignored me and continued allowing me to deposit money from 1 May 2026 up to today. This is a serious failure to protect a vulnerable customer and a breach of legal requirements. I am seeking a full refund of all deposits made from 1 May 2026 onwards.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I am sorry to hear about your problem at WinPlace Casino.

Regrettably, at Casino.Guru, we do not handle complaints related to licensing regulations and policies. While I understand your perspective, unfortunately, we are not in a position to provide assistance in this matter. Our role is that of an independent online casinos database that acts as a mediator in resolving players' disputes. However, we lack the authority to enforce the legality of rules.

If your preference is to play in licensed casinos exclusively, I strongly recommend checking our list of recommended casinos at https://casino.guru/top-online-casinos#tab=RECOMMENDED and utilizing available filters to find the most suitable casino for your needs.


In order for us to proceed with this complaint, could you please forward your self-exclusion request directly to my email? You can reach me at attila.g@casino.guru.

Have you received any responses from the casino via email regarding your self-exclusion requests? If you did not receive any replies via email, have you tried reaching out to the casino through live chat or other official communication channels?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Attila
