Our verdict

Player stopped responding

Amount: €6,100

Playzilla Casino
Safety Index:Very high

Case summary

The player from Germany informed Playzilla Casino about his gambling addiction in March, but his account remained open despite his request for closure. He had since lost an additional €6,100 and sought a refund, yet received no response to his emails. After extensive communication with the casino, it was confirmed that his payment had been successfully completed following the submission of required information. The casino confirmed the pay out, however the complaint has been rejected as the player has never confirmed reception of the money.

I informed Playzilla Casino in March that I was addicted to gambling. I lost about €2,500 in one night. My account was not closed, even though I contacted the chat and then sent an email as advised. I could have continued gambling, but now I've relapsed.

This time it’s about 6100 euros.

I would like this refunded.

There has been no response to my emails since Tuesday morning.

Hello,

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

First, I’d like to clarify the difference between account closure and self-exclusion:

  • Closing an account is a simple process with minimal impact—players can reopen their accounts at any time, and the casino has no ongoing obligations toward them.
  • Self-exclusion, on the other hand, comes with stricter restrictions. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino agrees not to reopen the account, except under specific circumstances (such as after a cooling-off period, but never for players with gambling problems).

Would you be so kind as to forward me the account closure requests you sent to the casino along with the casino's responses? You can send them to me at [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Veronika

Thank you for your email.

May I ask if you have tried contacting the casino’s customer support more than once after not receiving a response to your initial request?

Have you also attempted to use the casino’s live chat to request a self-exclusion?

Your answers will help us better understand your situation and determine the next steps.

I first tried the live chat. The response I got was that I had to write an email. I was in the situation of having just lost over 2,500 euros in a very short period of time.

I then wrote the email, but it was ignored. Instead, I even received a VIP supporter and bonuses that encouraged me to play at the casino again. Instead of closing my account as requested, I was given incentives to continue playing. I've been struggling with my gambling addiction for a long time and couldn't resist.

After my last loss, I chatted with support at least 20 times. They always told me they couldn't do anything and that I should contact or S I've sent several emails to both addresses but haven't received a response. My VIP supporter also informed me via WhatsApp that he's no longer responsible for me. However, no new supporter has contacted me yet.

I sent you the mails I sent to [email protected] and [email protected]. Also a chat transcript. I did not get a transcript of all the chats I was in. But those were about 20 and they were all very similar. The agent always tells me I will get a mail very soon. But nothing happens.

The only Mails I get are trying to make me gamble more. I got like 5 mails telling me I can gat a bonus or free spins if I add more funds to my account. They try to lure me to gamble more although I told them like 25 Times I am an addict.

Dear hagbardceline8541, as I have not been CCed into this e-mail conversation, could you please let me know what did the casino propose and whether you are taking the offer? Just so I know what is going on, how is the complaint being handled and if I can help further or not. If needed, you can send me a message directly at [email protected]. Thank you.

I couldn't accept the offer from Playzilla because it was too low for me. I've been waiting for another email ever since.

Dear hagbardceline8541, thank you for bringing me up to speed.

After double checking the evidence you have provided, I have noticed that the original self-exclusion request has been sent to the wrong e-mail address: [email protected]. The proper address is [email protected]. This, unfortunately, means that the first time the casino actually got your self-exclusion request, would be the 1st July, which is possibly the reason for the refund amount offered being lower than you expected.


Dear Playzilla Casino, could you please confirm when was the player's account closed, whether any balance has been voided and if the account has been marked as "gambling addict" or with similar note, it will be impossible to reopen and that all the marketing communication will cease? Thank you.

Hello Matej

The email address [email protected] I got it from chat support.

file The image shows that https://playzilla236410.com/de/ is the domain you are redirected to when you visit playzilla.com. It also provides the email address. I never received a mailer daemon email after sending the email. So, Playzilla didn't just know about my gambling addiction on July 1st, but since the email to [email protected] . Therefore, I cannot accept the offer that was made to me.



Best regards

Dear Playzilla Casino, please let us know once you process the refund on your end. Thank you.


Dear hagbardceline8541, while it is true that the German mirror is https://playzilla236410.com/ it doesn't automatically mean they also pay extra for linking the domain to an e-mail account or have the messages sent to this domain redirected to their main account. Especially since they have plethora of mirrors, this would be a costly endeavour. I have checked the website from three different VPNs and while the domain name had always some different number, e-mail address has been stated as [email protected] on all of them.

Also be careful when talking to the live chat - in any casino. From my experience majority of the agents have no idea what they are doing and sometimes it feels they get their answers from a random sentence generator. I have asked the live chat in Playzilla what is the casino's e-mail address, and the response was "[email protected]" which upon further checks turned out to be completely wrong. For this reason I would advise always checking the real e-mail address directly from either the "Contact" page, casino's T&C or "Responsible gambling" page to ensure you are sending your messages to the real mailbox. This could potentially save you a lot of headaches in the future ;)
