Fruta Casino - Player requests account closure and refund due to gambling issues.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €8,500

Fruta Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Finland reported losing nearly €10,000 while struggling with a gambling addiction, despite having a game ban in place. He expressed frustration over the lack of responsible gambling measures on the site and demanded an investigation, a refund, and account closure. The Complaints Team reviewed the case and concluded that the casino had not been informed of his gambling issues or self-exclusion prior to his gameplay and deposits, which prevented them from supporting his request for a refund. The player was advised that self-exclusion needed to be activated through the casino's channels for it to be effective.

Hi, I lost all my money yesterday! I have been addicted to gambling for 2 years now and I have been trying to recover from it all the time. Sometimes I have relapses but it has never been this bad before! I lost almost €10,000 yesterday when I was addicted to gambling. I have a game ban but I have still been able to play on your site. I am also really upset that your site does not limit my gambling in any way or give reminders about bets or losses. These are part of responsible gambling. You have violated the policies and I want the matter to be investigated fully. So I am asking for my money back and the account to be closed. I have also blocked many of your sister casinos citing a gambling problem, this also makes me wonder how I can still play on your casino.

Thank you for your emails. Could you please specify if you informed the casino of your gambling addiction before you made any deposits, or was it only after you lost your balance playing?

I have blocked their sister casinos before I made an account with their casino. I told them about my problem as soon as this happened. I am surprised that there was no reaction to my large deposits and no verification of me, no origin of my money, no personal information.

Dear olkkuostman,

Thank you for your replies and for sharing more information about your situation.

I am sorry to hear about your struggles with gambling addiction, and I fully understand how distressing this experience must have been for you.

After carefully reviewing the case, I must respectfully explain that the licensing authority under which Fruta Casino operates does not require its licensees to apply self-exclusion across all casinos within the same brand or operator group.

Moreover, according to Fruta Casino’s Terms and Conditions, self-exclusion must be activated either directly via the player account (Safe Gaming section) or requested by contacting customer support.

Unfortunately, since the casino did not receive a self-exclusion request or any notice of your gambling problem prior to your gameplay and deposits, we are unable to support your request for a refund in this case.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,

Veronika
