Complaint and claim for reimbursement due to lack of game suspension and breach of responsibility


Ladies and Gentlemen

I am writing to you because I have serious concerns about the handling of my player account at Zinkra.com and request that you investigate my complaint.

I have registered with Zinkra.com in the past, made deposits, and also received withdrawals. Due to my gambling addiction, I have already initiated a suspension of my account and explicitly informed you of this. It was therefore unmistakably clear that I suffer from a gambling problem and require special protection.

Despite this clear-cut situation, my account was reopened after six months without adequate safeguards being put in place. This is in clear contradiction to your duty to protect vulnerable players from further harm and to take your responsibility to your customers seriously.

As a result, I suffered significant losses again within a short period of time—specifically, EUR 10,000. These losses could have been avoided if you had taken into account the gambling addiction problem you were aware of and permanently blocked my account.

I therefore request that you compensate the resulting damages of EUR 10,000 either by way of reimbursement, as a goodwill gesture, or out of your responsibility as a provider towards players at risk of addiction. Your obligation to comply with player protection measures arises not only from legal requirements but also from your duty of care to your customers.

I request a prompt written statement and expect you to seriously consider this matter. Should you not comply with my request, I expressly reserve the right to take legal action and involve the relevant supervisory and regulatory authorities.


Thank you for your support

Good day


Zinkra.com also owes me €250. This is a deposit that was debited from my bank account but never made it to my zinkra.com account.


I reported my gambling problems six months ago, and then my account was suspended for six months. The provider knew about my gambling problems and exploited my addiction.


Here's all the evidence. Please help me.

In response to your questions, I inform you of the following:


My player account has now been closed.


I submitted my first application for self-exclusion in March 2025.


I contacted them via support, and explicitly pointed out my ongoing gaming issues. I've already provided you with screenshots to prove this.


I have already provided you with all the self-exclusion requests I sent to the casino. I have no further documents.



I ask that you consider this information in your further review and look forward to your feedback.

Dear player, please remember that when requesting self-exclusion, it's important to follow a few simple steps to ensure a successful outcome:

  • Send your request to the correct email address provided in the general terms and conditions of the casino.
  • If your email or message goes unanswered, utilize other communication channels to address your concerns or send multiple emails.
  • Clearly state the reasons why you wish to have your account self-excluded - gambling addiction. 

I have reviewed the details that you shared while submitting your complaint. Unfortunately, there's no date in the conversation on the screenshots you shared, so we cannot check when that conversation took place.

Your message was not sent through the casino’s designated channel for such matters, which is support@zinkra.com. Casinos typically require these requests to go to a specific address or form so they can be processed correctly and without delay.

Was it the only attempt to contact the support and inform them about your gambling addiction? Have you ever tried to contact the casino via email?

When exactly did the casino close your account?

I need my money. Above all, my deposits haven't been credited.

This deposit was never credited, even though it was debited from my account. Isn't this fraud?

Dear player, can you please share the confirmation from the casino (if you received any) that your account was suspended after your first closure request in March? You mentioned that your account was suspended for 6 months, and then you were able to log in again? Did you receive any notifications from the casino about the suspension?

You also said the following:

"Account has been completely blocked since August 27th or so."

How did you manage to deposit on 1st September if you claim your account was blocked? I'm quite confused about the timeline of events.
