Case summary

4 weeks ago

The player from the Netherlands had requested a €1,500 refund from an online casino, citing the casino's lack of a permit to operate in his country. The player had self-excluded via a Dutch responsible gambling mechanism, and believed the casino had disregarded this. We clarified that we did not have the authority to enforce refund policies on casinos operating without an appropriate license. Despite extending the response deadline, the player did not respond, resulting in us having to reject the complaint.

I would like a response to my refund. I am entitled to a refund of all money I have deposited and lost on bets.


reimbursement was requested due to the unavailability of a permit to operate in the Netherlands. That's honestly a huge problem for all Dutch players, especially those who have, recognized the gambling problem and excluded themselves with Crunks. All casinos (online and land-based) licensed in the Netherlands will check whether or not you are excluded before allowing your entry.


Moreover, I am also registered in the crunks. In addition, you do not have a Dutch license.


I therefore see the refund as soon as possible of around €1500.

Dear jornrietberg,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm truly sorry to hear about your issue.

However, I'd like to inform you that we accept the situation when the casino allows players from restricted countries to open an account as long as they don’t use this as an opportunity to later cancel the player’s legitimate winnings. Simply said – if the casino allows players from restricted countries to deposit and play, they should pay out their winnings as well.  

Therefore, I would like to emphasize, that we investigate further and help only those players, whose funds (or winnings) have been confiscated due to being from a restricted country.

Please understand that we are not an agency with the authority to dictate refund policies to casinos operating without the appropriate license in players' countries of residence.

For future reference, I strongly recommend searching for licensed casinos only through our website to avoid any misunderstandings.


To conclude, at Casino.Guru, we do not handle complaints related to licensing regulations and policies. While I understand your perspective, unfortunately, we are not in a position to provide assistance in this matter. Our role is that of an independent online casinos database that acts as a mediator in resolving players' disputes. However, we lack the authority to enforce the legality of rules.

If your aim is to seek a refund of lost deposits solely on the grounds that the casino lacks a valid license, we are unable to assist you. In each review, we provide users with license information, and it ultimately falls on each player to make an informed decision regarding their choice of casino. The Lalabet Casino review on our platform includes the following information:

Unfortunately, based on the information received thus far, we will not proceed further with this case. I sincerely apologize that we couldn't offer more assistance in this matter.

Please let me know if there is any additional information that I have overlooked, but I’m afraid I will be forced to reject your complaint as unjustified. I wish I could be of more help. Thank you in advance for your reply and understanding.

Best regards,

Petronela
