Rabona Casino - Pelaajan omaehtoista pelikieltoa koskeva pyyntö on jätetty huomiotta.

Complaint type: Responsible gambling / self-exclusion

I am submitting this complaint regarding Rabona Casino's failure to honour my self-exclusion request and their subsequent breach of responsible gambling obligations.

On 2 November 2025 I contacted Rabona's VIP Manager and explicitly stated that I had been chasing losses with money I could not afford, and requested self-exclusion and account closure. On 3 November 2025 Rabona acknowledged my request. On 4 November 2025 I confirmed in writing that I wished to proceed, and Rabona confirmed the account closure process.

On 3 April 2026, approximately five months later, I received an unsolicited promotional email from Rabona's VIP department offering me a €150 Cash Gift and 25% Daily Cashback, explicitly to encourage me to return to gambling. I returned as a direct result and incurred net losses of approximately €1,805 between April and June 2026.

On 27 May 2026 I submitted a formal complaint to Rabona. On 8 June 2026, while my complaint was active, I received a second unsolicited bonus offer from Rabona's VIP department, which I objected to in writing the same day.

On 11 June 2026 Rabona acknowledged my complaint under ticket reference 51547537 (this was after claiming they had not received my complaint when first submitted).

On 12 June 2026 they rejected it, citing clause 6.6.2 of their Terms and Conditions (no refund after a deposit is used to place a bet).

This response is inadequate. Clause 6.6.2 is a standard deposit-refund clause and is not relevant to a responsible gambling breach. My complaint concerns Rabona's failure to honour a self-exclusion request in which I explicitly cited problem gambling, and their VIP department's decision to actively induce my return with a cash incentive. The deposits would not have occurred had Rabona honoured its duty of care.

I am seeking a refund of net losses of €1,805 incurred following Rabona's VIP contact that induced my return after self-exclusion.

I have full email correspondence supporting all of the above.
