The player's self exclusion failed, as his request was ignored by the casino. The case was successfully resolved.
Hello, I have excluded myself from playing live chat due to gambling addiction. The casino did not implement this in the chat but offered me a cashback. I asked the casino for a refund as I was still able to deposit.
Unfortunately, management has not responded to this day.
Hello Basel999,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Sultanbet Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
Could you please advise when exactly did you request the self exclusion from the casino? Did you mention gambling addiction to the live chat? Is your account currently still active?
Can you please forward the full communication with the casino to nikolas.b@casino.guru?
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick
Good morning Nick, thank you for taking care of my problem.
I am happy to send you the chats via email with proof that I have informed the casino about my gambling addiction.
Management has probably been dealing with the case for three weeks and is considering the refund, but it can't be that it takes that long. I'm always stalled.
Love from
Basle999
Thank you Basel999 for all the information. I will now forward your complaint to my colleague Jozef who will be assisting you from now on.
Wish you best luck resolving it.

Nick
Hi Basel999,
I absolutely appreciate that you shared your experiences with the Casino Guru team. We will now try to get in touch with the casino.
We would like to ask the Casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’.
Hi Basel999,
We've gotten in touch with Jozef from Casino Guru to discuss the matter in more detail.

Hi again Basel999 and Jozef,
We've investigated the case internally in more detail.
Please note that closure requests are handled only via email. This is done to ensure that the request is coming from the account holder.
We've provided Jozef from Casino Guru with a screenshot of our support team advising Basel999 to send an email so we can close their account.
After the email was received, we've take the necessary measurements.
We believe the case was handled accordingly and therefore, no refunds will be made.
Regards,
Sultanbet Team
Good evening Sultanbet,
just ridiculous.
Please check your Responsible Gaming Policy, it says you are there for the customers and nothing more.
So seriously: I'll contact you in the chat and write I'm addicted to gambling?
Her answer: Would you like a cashback...
is this the right way to deal with gambling addiction?
No hint what to do, no option offered to set a deposit limit.
This is the worst service and I'm glad other players see how little they do for player protection.
They have failed in their responsibilities and best of all they have even offered bonuses.
Refund the money otherwise it will be even more embarrassing for you.
Thanks
Dear Basel999,
I have directly discussed your case with the casino representative, unfortunately, they have made their final decision, and they refused to make any compromise or refund.
In casino.guru, we believe that the casino environment should be safe. This is not the case. The support has reacted incorrectly with the terms of responsible gambling, and when you mentioned gambling addiction, they should inform you about options of how you can self-exclude your account (or just inform you that your account will be blocked) but not offer you a cashback bonus. Gambling addiction is a serious issue, and it is a great step when a player manages to admit to having it. Such a statement should be respected and not tempted. That is a reason why I consider your complaint justified, and the relevant solution would be to refund you the amount lost before you received the correct information on how to proceed. I am very sorry about the situation, but I am forced to close your case as 'unresolved'. Please, be aware that this complaint will affect their reputation on our website.
Another option is to file an official complaint at the licensing authority of the casino. I will gladly help you with it, you may reach me at the email address mentioned below. Let me know if you have any questions or require further assistance.
Best regards, Jozef
