The player from Portugal requested a self-exclusion. Unfortunately, they didn't follow the steps as instructed. We ended up rejecting the complaint.
Casino that did not respect my self-exclusion request. After informing them of my game addition problem, they refused to self-exclude me after several requests. A pending withdrawal is held in my account for more than 12 days alleging technical problems.
this casino does not respect the responsible gaming policy and withholds my withdrawal request. con artists
Dear Epedro46,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Before we’ll contact the casino and ask for their standpoint, could you please forward emails or screenshots showing that you have sent a request for the self-exclusion? My email address is petronela.k@casino.guru. Did you specify in that request for how long you wish your account to be suspended and the reason why?
I have checked the Responsible Gambling section on the website and this is what I found (here):
"EXCLUDE YOURSELF FROM GAMBLING
In the event of risky gaming behaviour, you can temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from participating in games of chance via our website. You can find this option under 'Limits'.
Pause
This option allows you to exclude yourself from our website for a limited time. You can choose a break from 1 day to 6 weeks. During this break you cannot log in to our website. Note: this also means that you can no longer access your account.
Self-exclusion
With this option you can exclude yourself for a longer period. You can choose a self-exclusion of at least 30 days. The maximum is 'forever'. During this self-exclusion you will not be able to log in to our website. Note: this also means that you can no longer access your account.
If you change your mind or want to change something during a break or self-exclusion, you should contact our customer service."
Is this klantenservice@fairplaycasino.nl the email address that you have sent your email to?
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Petronela
Additional comments from the player:
"Hello
I asked the 28.10.2022 my self exclusion because I am addicted to game. They ignore me."
Could you please forward any supporting evidence at your earliest convenience? Thank you in advance.
I have already sent proof of my self-exclusion request on 10/28/2022. This was the first request that was ignored, and after that I've made several others.
Thank you, Epedro46, for your email. I switched the complaint to the correct casino as it was filed under the wrong one. I have checked again the terms and conditions and this is what I found (here):
"COOLING DOWN
If You want to take a break from gambling, We offer the option of suspending Your Member Account for the time You need, giving You some time to cool off and reflect on Your gambling situation. This can be actioned by contact Our customer support via email at support@fairspin.io.

I can see from the forwarded screenshot that you sent your request to the correct email address and mentioned gambling problem as well. One last thing please, before we'll contact the casino directly, could you forward a screenshot of your cashier history too? Thank you.
I will send conversation history.
I asked for self-exclusion forever, definitive.
Could you please forward a screenshot of your cashier (deposits and withdrawals) history? Thank you.
I just sent all the prints to Petronela. It's just deposits, I've been asking for a single withdrawal since 10/28 and I still haven't managed to do it.
Thank you very much, Epedro46, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter (peter.m@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.
Hi Epedro46,
I have looked at your case and understand the situation. Let me contact the casino and I will do my best to help. I would like to invite Fairspin Casino to the conversation to participate in the resolution of this complaint.
Thanks a lot!
Fairspin was negligent, I spend a lot of money that I could not spend and I ask them a lot of times to block permantly my acount. It was convinient for them put a withdraw waiting and keep receiving my daily deposits.
Hi!
On our website we take every gambling addiction claim extremely seriously and always make sure to treat people with utmost respect and understanding.
In this particular case we followed our rules, and after we received a self-exclusion request, it was immediately implemented. However , in a following letter the player denied that she made such request and insisted on us speeding up her withdrawal process instead, claiming that she will not self-exclude until she receives her withdrawal.
In the following letters sent to us by a player, a self-exclusion was requested once again, which we have provided her with and offered to choose a self-exclusion period while also warning the player, that confirmation of self-exclusion is obligatory and without such confirmation permanent self-exclusion is impossible.
However, we did not receive such confirmation which in turn made to follow our own guidelines and unblock player’s account while we continued working on processing player’s withdrawal which took longer, then initially expected due to technical difficulties we encountered along the way,
Fairspin has all the screenshots and evidence in it’s possession and we’re glad to provide you with it at short notice
Respectfully,
Fairspin
I inform you that not only have I never been self-excluded, but my account has not been blocked at any time, and I was only forced by the casino to keep the account because the information I received was that I could not self-exclude myself until I completed a withdrawal that was purposefully pending for more than 15 days.
I have already given the guru all the proofs of the truth of what I say.
HI all,
Thank you for your replies.
Dear Fairspin Casino team,
Please send all relevant evidence to my email address (peter.m@casino.guru).
Dear Peter,
Relevant information was included in an email that we sent you.
Regards,
Fairspin Support Team
Thank you Fairspin Casino Team for the email.
Let's just sum up here what we know so far:
Now, my questions here are:
When were the withdrawals processed, how much was it and when was the permanent self-exclusion applied?
Secondly, the disputed amount of 8100 USDT is the amount of the pending withdrawals or the amount of the deposits made after the first attempt to self-exclusion?
On 28.10.2022 Epedro46 requested self-exclusion
The NAO casino started a 24-hour self-exclusion, my activity at the casino in those 24 hours proves this fact.
the casino asked Epedro46 to contact the casino support the next day and confirm the self-exclusion and justify it, however he added that he could not self-exclude me while I had a withdrawal of 8100 dollars pending!!!
Epedro46 NAO denied the self-exclusion and asked only to restrict his gaming activity until he completed the withdrawal, an act that was denied. the self-exclusion was only applied after I had initiated several complaints online, including at casino guru.
the account was blocked after I was confirmed to process the withdrawal of 8100 dollars, and until today I still have not received the money.
8100 was the withdrawal I requested on 10/27/2021, a gain resulting from multiple deposits. My deposits are over 5500 dollars. Almost all deposits were made after I requested self-exclusion and was denied until I completed a withdrawal.
Do I understand correctly that you already received the 8100 USDT? Did you make the 5500 USDT deposits after 28.10.2022? Did you at some point ask for a self-exclusion and confirmed it the next day as instructed?
Good Morning.
I haven't received the withdrawal of $8100 till now!
I confirm that I have made deposits greater than 5500 USD after 28.10.2022!
I repeat: after the 28.10.2022 I asked / begged for my self-exclusion every day, I was always told that it could only be carried out after the withdrawal of 8100 dollars was processed, never before, and this withdrawal took more than 14 days to be processed and still today I have NOT received that amount.
Hi Epedro46,
Could you please forward the self-exclusion requests mentioned above that you sent to the casino to my email address (peter.m@casino.guru)?
Hi Epedro46,
You stated the following: "after the 28.10.2022 I asked / begged for my self-exclusion every day,"
Do you have any proof of this?
Dear Epedro46,
We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.
I had already replied to you by Mail and sent all the written evidence I have
Dear Epedro46,
Unfortunately, I haven't received any evidence supporting your statement "after the 28.10.2022 I asked / begged for my self-exclusion every day," If you didn't follow all the steps as instructed, I'm afraid you have no claim for the refund.
Dear Fairspin Casino Team,
What is the status of Epedro46's withdrawal? Is it still pending?
Thank you for request.
According to current information the account of user Epe*****@gmail.com was blocked permanently without the right to restore access immediatelly after successful withdrawal of 8346.97 USDT 15/11/2022.
All information had been sent to user's email.
Also we would like to clarify that the deposit amount was 5187.40 USD, the withdrawal amount was 8346.97 USDT.
We are ready to provide any information you need.
Best regards,
Fairspin Support Team
Thank you Fairspin Casino Team for the update.
Dear Epedro46,
Since you received your withdrawal and never provided the requested evidence, I'm afraid your complaint will be rejected. If you disagree with our decision, please turn to the Gaming Authority (https://verification.curacao-egaming.com/validateview.aspx?domain=fairspin.io&_ga=2.94928604.1199837775.1670482521-1521212620.1670482521) and submit a complaint to them. I wish I could be of more help.
Best regards,
Peter
