Dear mell87,
Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.
Was your account closed for gambling addiction suspicion by the casino or did you request to be self-excluded for gambling addiction?
If you have any communication with the casino regarding your account closure, kindly forward it to me at veronika.l@casino.guru. Alternatively, you may post screenshots here.
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards
Veronika

Thank you for your email.
As it stands, we are unable to move forward with your case because you have not explicitly informed the casino of a gambling problem or requested self-exclusion due to such a concern. Your account was instead proactively blocked by the casino as part of their responsible gaming measures.
Our role in mediating refunds is limited to cases where a player has directly informed the casino of a gambling problem and explicitly requested self-exclusion. In such cases, if the casino does not honor the request and the player consequently deposits and loses additional funds, we may then advocate for a refund. However, in your situation, since the casino initiated the account closure without any self-exclusion request from you, there is no basis for us to request a refund on your behalf.
Due to the aforementioned reasons, this complaint will now be closed. Thank you for your understanding, I am sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion.
As part of our Global Self-Exclusion Initiative, we've partnered with BetBlocker, a UK-registered charity providing a free service to support people worldwide. You can find more information about our initiative here (https://casino.guru/global-self-exclusion-initiative) and about BetBlocker here (https://betblocker.org/).
BetBlocker, which supports seven languages, is quick and easy to install on multiple devices, taking just 2 minutes. Once installed, it blocks access to over 84,230 gambling websites and runs quietly in the background. The service can be used anonymously and helps individuals manage their access to gambling safely and appropriately, whether that means complete restriction or limiting access during vulnerable periods.
Additionally, BetBlocker includes a list of 824 gambling information sites. These sites primarily inform users about and advertise gambling services. You can choose to include these sites in your restriction by ticking a box. However, if you have an ongoing complaint against a gambling operator, do not check this box, as it will prevent you from accessing the Casino.Guru website as well.
