Neon54 Casino - Pelaajan tili suljetaan ja varat takavarikoidaan.

Dear Casino Guru Team,

I am contacting you to request an objective review and mediation in a dispute with Neon54 (operator: Stellar Ltd.). The dispute concerns a claim for the return of €2200, as, in my opinion, my account should never have been opened due to previous self-exclusion requests within the same network.

I have gathered the facts and all the evidence and ask you to assess whether the casino's reliance on its terms and conditions is permissible in this case.

I had already asked for your help in a similar matter this past May. That case was successfully resolved, however, it also triggered a relapse, or rather, it seems I hadn't quite overcome my gambling addiction 100%.

The core of my concern is that, despite my known gambling addiction and multiple self-exclusion requests, the operator did not prevent me from opening new accounts in the same network.

I have been struggling with gambling addiction for some time (treatment scheduled for 2024). Unfortunately, I experienced relapses in 2025, which typically occur impulsively at the beginning of the month. To protect myself from these impulses, I repeatedly requested network-wide self-exclusion from the operator. These protective measures were apparently not enforced or failed technically.

I will try to briefly present the entire situation chronologically:

1) Legiano, May 2025:

As you know from my previous complaint (https://de.casino.guru/beschwerden/legiano-casino-das-konto-des-spielers-sollte-geschlossen), I requested self-exclusion from all partner casinos at Legiano on May 1, 2025. The operator acknowledged the oversight at the time and issued a refund. Therefore, the operator was aware of my issue.

2) Spinbara, July 2025

In July 2025, I impulsively opened an account at Spinbara (also operated by Stellar Ltd.). After playing, I realized my mistake and wrote to support on July 16, 2025: "Please close my account on all your casino sites for life." Despite this, instead of immediately closing my account, they offered me a bonus. Even after this second communication with the operator, I was able to open an account at Neon54 in September.

3) Neon54, September 2025

Although the operator knew since May (Legiano) and July (Spinbara) that I was a gambling addict and wanted to be banned from all sites, registration and deposit at Neon54 were possible without any problems. Here, too, my direct request for account closure on September 30, 2025, was neither processed nor confirmed. A few days later, I logged back into the casino site and inquired about the status of my ban via live chat. I was assured that the responsible department was working on it. However, I continued to receive bonus offers via email, later even personal ones from a VIP manager, as well as daily SMS messages.

Neon54 has rejected my refund request, citing their terms and conditions (sections 3.8 and 4.1) that I must contact them.

My position is this: I contacted them. Twice (in May and July). I explicitly demanded protection for the entire network. That I later wanted to open new accounts due to my addiction is simply a consequence of the illness. Had the operator correctly implemented my requests from May or July, the deposit at Neon54 would not have been technically possible, constituting a breach of duty of care.

I therefore respectfully request your assessment and review.

Thank you very much for your effort!

LG

Liebes Casino Guru Team,

ich wende mich an Sie mit der Bitte um eine objektive Prüfung und Vermittlung in einem Streitfall mit Neon54 (Betreiber: Stellar Ltd.). Es geht um eine Rückforderung von 2200,- Euro da mein Konto nach meiner Auffassung aufgrund von vorangegangenen Selbstauschluss-Anträgen im selben Netzwerk niemals hätte eröffnet werden dürfen.

Ich habe den Sachverhalt und alle Beweise gesammelt und bitte Sie zu bewerten, ob die Berufung des Casinos auf seine AGB in diesem Fall zulässig ist.

Ich hatte Sie bereits heuer im Mai in einem ähnlichen Sachverhalt um Hilfe gebeten. Der damalige Fall wurde erfolgreich gelöst, allerdings war es auch ein Auslöser für einen Rückfall bzw. hatte ich meine Spielsucht scheinbar doch noch nicht zu 100% bewältigt.

Der Kern meines Anliegens ist, dass der Betreiber trotz bekannter Spielsucht und mehrfachen Selbstauschlussanträgen nicht verhindert hat, dass ich neue Konten im selben Netzwerk eröffnen konnte.

Ich kämpfe seit längerem mit Spielsucht (Behandlung 2024). Leider kam es 2025 zu Rückfällen, die typischerweise impulsiv am Monatsanfang auftreten. Genau um mich vor diesen Impulsen zu schützen, habe ich mehrfach netzwerkweite Sperren beim Betreiber beantragt. Diese Schutzmechanismen wurden scheinbar nicht einghelten bzw. haben technisch versagt.

Ich versuche Ihnen den gesamten Sachverhalt kurz chronologisch darzustellen:

1) Legiano, Mai 2025:

Wie Ihnen aus meiner vorherigen Beschwerde bekannt ist (https://de.casino.guru/beschwerden/legiano-casino-das-konto-des-spielers-sollte-geschlossen), habe ich am 01.05.2025 bei Legiano einen Selbstauschluss für alle Partnercasinos beantragt. Der Betreiber hat das Versäumnis damals anerkannt und eine Rückzahlung geleistet. Damit war meine Problematik dem Betreiber bekannt.

2) Spinbara, Juli 2025

Im Juli 2025 eröffnete ich impulsiv ein Konto bei Spinbara (ebenfalls Stellar Ltd.). Nachdem ich spielte, realisierte ich den Fehler und schrieb am 16.07.2025 an den Support: "Please close my Account on all your Casino Sites for life time". Dennoch wurde mir ein Bonus angeboten, anstatt sofort zu sperren. Trotz dieser zweiten Mitteilung an den Betreiber konnte ich im September bei Neon54 ein Konto eröffnen.

3) Neon54, September 2025

Obwohl der Betreiber seit Mai (Legiano) und Juli (Spinbara) wusste, dass ich spielsüchtig bin und auf allen Seiten gesperrt werden will, war die Registrierung und Einzahlung bei Neon54 problemlos möglich. Auch hier wurde meine direkte Bitte um Kontoschließung vom 30.09.2025 nicht durchgeführt bzw. bestätigt. Ich hatte ein paar Tage später mich nochmals bei der Casino Site angemeldet und im Livechat nach dem Status meines Sperrung gestellt. Man versicherte mir, dass die zuständige Abteilung daran arbeitet. Ich erhielt aber weitere Bonus Angebote via Mail, später sogar persönliche von einer VIP-Managerin und dazu auch täglich SMS Nachrichten.

Neon54 hat meine Rückforderung abgelehnt und beruft sich auf die AGB (Punkte 3.8 und 4.1), dass ich mich melden müsse.

Meine Position ist: Ich habe mich gemeldet. Zweimal (Mai und Juli). Ich habe explizit den Schutz für das ganze Netzwerk eingefordert. Dass ich meiner Sucht folgend später neue Konten eröffnen wollte, liegt in der Natur der Krankheit. Hätte der Betreiber meine Anträge aus Mai oder Juli korrekt umgesetzt, wäre die Einzahlung bei Neon54 technisch nicht möglich gewesen und eine Verletzung der Sorgfaltspflicht.

Ich bitte Sie daher höflichst um Ihre Einschätzung und Prüfung.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Mühe!

LG

Dear robert_z,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with the operator and the difficulties related to your gambling addiction. I have reviewed the Responsible Gambling Policy, and this is what I found: "Self-exclusion request: You can contact the Support Service Team via e-mail at support@neon54.com, and we will close your account as soon as practicable. It is the player's responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts they may hold and to commit not to open any additional accounts. While our Website will make reasonable efforts to prevent the creation of new accounts, it remains the player's sole responsibility to ensure that no further accounts are opened. Our Website cannot be held responsible for any potential losses incurred on other accounts."

Unfortunately, it is not stated that all accounts held at other casinos operated by the same company will be automatically blocked or self-excluded. Please understand that self-excluding from one casino does not necessarily guarantee protection across all associated platforms.

To better understand the situation and assess your case objectively, I would like to ask you a few questions:

1. Is your account currently blocked, or is it still accessible to you?
2. Do you have any additional information or documents regarding your previous or planned treatment for gambling addiction that might be relevant to this case?
3. When was the last time the casino allowed you to make a deposit?

In the meantime, feel free to check our responsible gambling guide for more information and useful resources:

Hello robert_z,

I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I've been taking care of your complaint. Before I invite the casino representative into the thread, can you please provide me with more information regarding your self exclusion requests in the previously mentioned casinos (Spinbara and Legiano)? Have you received any confirmation, that your self-exclusion will be applicable in other grouped casinos? Also, can you supply us with any communication that might have taken place between the 7th of November and 16th of November 2025?

Hi Martin,

Thank you.

To which email address may I send documents?

Dear robert_z,

thank you for your cooperation in this case. As we have already established in our email communication, after reviewing all available information and documentation, it was concluded that a refund cannot be requested in this case. The first self-exclusion request that explicitly referenced gambling-related issues and is applicable to Neon54 was submitted on 7th of November 2025, after which the account was closed. We fully understand there were multiple closure requests beforehand, and though I would personally like to see you account closed at that point, there was no explicit mention of gambling issues, which limits our abilities to ask for any refunds.

Regarding the self-exclusion requests submitted to Spinbara and Legiano, these cannot be considered applicable to Neon54, as operator-wide exclusion was not confirmed by the operator to extend across all associated casinos.

For these reasons, the complaint will have to be rejected. I sincerely hope you won't have to reach out to us again, and that you’ll able to leave the casino gaming behind, as you’ve intended in the past. However, if you ever encounter any issues with this or any other casino in the future, feel free to reach out to our Complaint Resolution Center.
