Hmm, maybe not exactly the best deal, but if you noticed it earlier before you started playing and it seemed like a bad deal to you, then that's good. Whether the casino keeps it or not is up to them, and it's up to the players whether they take a bonus like this.
Wild Tokyo – €16,500 lost after repeated blocking requests. Subsequent chargeback used against the claim.
Hi everyone, I'm writing to ask for help with a dispute with Wild Tokyo involving approximately €16,500.
The key point is the chronology: I didn't start protesting after I lost the money.
Before the loss, I had contacted Wild Tokyo support about 30 times, via email and support, repeatedly asking them to close, block, or at least limit my account because I was having serious problems with the game.
On August 3, 2026, I specifically reported the problem and requested a block again. At that time, I still had approximately €14,500 in my account, plus approximately €500 in withdrawals.
In live chat, I clearly asked them to at least stop me from playing. I even went so far as to ask the operator:
"So you’re going to keep letting me gamble even though I told you I have a gambling problem?"
The immediate blockade was not applied.
I was also told that tools like pause/self-exclusion could interfere with the withdrawal in progress and reset the funds to my balance, which is why I was essentially being advised to complete the withdrawal first.
In the following days, I continued to ask for restrictions. On August 11th, I reported the difficulties again and asked again to be banned from playing.
Only on August 12th did Wild Tokyo definitively close the account, citing "Gambling Addiction" as the reason.
In the meantime, however, the money in the account had been lost while gambling.
This is my objection: before the loss, I had already asked to be banned or limited numerous times. Therefore, I'm not trying to retroactively attribute responsibility to the casino after the loss.
Only after this whole ordeal, when the account had already been closed, did I file a chargeback with my bank for around €400. Surprisingly, the chargeback was upheld within about three days.
I am not asking for any double reimbursement: from the approximately €16,500 disputed, the approximately €400 already recovered must be subtracted, so the residual claim is approximately €16,100.
I subsequently contacted a portal specializing in casino complaints mediation. However, the complaint was rejected primarily because I had filed a chargeback, which was considered a serious violation of the terms.
What I don't understand is this: how can a chargeback requested after this whole affair make what had already happened before irrelevant?
Before the chargeback:
I had reported the gaming problem;
I had written about 30 times;
I had asked for closure/blocking/limitation;
I still had a significant amount in the account;
the blockade had not been applied immediately;
I then lost the money;
Wild Tokyo had finally closed the account for "Gambling Addiction".
I have also asked Wild Tokyo several times to direct me to the relevant ADR or official body to which I should turn regarding the dispute.
They did not provide me with this information and, after my requests, they practically stopped responding to emails.
I have kept emails, chats, and screenshots documenting my history and blocking requests.
I would like to know if anyone:
had similar cases with Wild Tokyo;
knows their actual ADR;
has already filed complaints against this operator/licensee;
knows the correct procedure for contacting the regulator;
knows whether a Responsible Gambling issue can be assessed separately from a subsequent chargeback;
knows lawyers or associations experienced in disputes with offshore casinos.
I'm not looking for shortcuts or a double refund. I simply want the casino to review its behavior during the period in which I continued to request a ban, while I still had the money in my account and before it was lost.
Any concrete guidance would be very helpful.
I understand why you want the blocking requests examined in the order they happened. A clear gambling-problem disclosure made while funds were still available is relevant to assessing the casino’s response.
I’ve checked your Casino Guru complaint. Michal closed it because of the acknowledged chargeback. I can’t overturn that decision through the forum or promise that separating the issues would allow our team to resume mediation.
For the regulatory side, you can report the alleged failure to act on your requests and the missing ADR information through the Complaints contact listed on the Curaçao Gaming Authority’s contact page. Include the dated correspondence you’ve already collected and clearly distinguish the later €400 recovery from the remaining claim. The CGA accepts reports about possible regulatory breaches, but it does not mediate individual disputes or order refunds.
I haven’t verified Wild Tokyo’s designated ADR provider, so I don’t want to direct you to the wrong service. You can ask the CGA for guidance on identifying the appropriate provider while reporting that the casino has not supplied those details.
