Dear Sir or Madam,
I have requested a refund of my deposits (approx. 1000€) through the support email at Qbet, as the casino cannot provide any German license.
The basic answer from QBet is a reference to their T&Cs. I can, of course, provide the email thread if needed.
However, without a German license, QBet's service is illegal and German courts have already confirmed that a reference to T&Cs is not permissible, as the service is available even though it does not have a legal German license.
Therefore, I ask for your assistance.

Dear rage8699 ,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.
Unfortunately, we at Casino.Guru don’t deal with complaints related to licensing regulations and policies. I understand your point, but, sadly, we’re not in a position to help you. We are an independent online casinos database which acts as a mediator in resolving players’ disputes. We have no authority to enforce the legality of rules.
Unfortunately, in this case, we are not able to help you and you are not entitled to any refund of your deposits. I can only recommend you to do better research next time and play only in the casinos licensed by The Interstate Treaty on Gambling.
In our database, you can search for those casinos by following this link.
Please let me know, if there is anything else, I could do for you regarding this case, otherwise, I will be forced to reject your complaint. Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Petronela

yes they can help Since I am also listed in the European gambling addiction list, it was still possible to play.
Here on your website there have been similar issues on Qbet where you have helped and the players seem to have gotten a refund from support.

Thank you, rage8699, for the clarification. I’m sure that you are aware of the geolocation of OASIS operation:
"The OASIS player blocking system is being introduced in line with the provisions of the State Gambling Agreement (GlüNeuRStV), according to which legal online gambling is allowed throughout Germany."
Since you have chosen a casino with a Curaçao license, you are not protected by Oasis registration.
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.
