Case summary

3 months ago

The player from Spain, who had self-excluded due to a gambling addiction, claimed that the casino had opened another account with the same personal information and allowed further deposits and gambling. This caused severe personal distress. The casino acknowledged the error and agreed to refund the deposits from the second account. We confirmed that the casino had blocked all functions except for withdrawal to ensure the player could not use the refunded money for further gambling. The complaint was considered resolved based on this agreement.

On February 25, 2024, I closed my account due to gambling addiction and made this known to the casino, who responded by closing my account that same afternoon via an email. However, on February 26, 2024, they opened another account for me using the same personal information: my name, surname, date of birth, address, country, telephone number, and the same bank account for deposits. They allowed me to deposit and continue gambling without asking for any bonus. This greatly devastated my life to the point of almost leading me to suicide, as I felt powerless to prevent them from opening accounts in my name despite suffering from a gambling addiction.

Matej has confirmed that I should re-file the complaint and have them reopen it. I'm sending his email, thank you very much.

Dear Velobet Casino representative,

As I wrote on Skype, we do not believe that you protect vicente2013 enough.


If you check what gambling addiction means you would most likelly find this or similar definition: People with a gambling addiction can't control their urge to gamble, even if they are losing a lot of money. They are willing to risk something of value in the hope that the reward will be more valuable.

Gambling addiction can seriously affect all areas of life.


When a player informs a casino about their gambling addiction, the casino should ensure that the player is no longer able to play in that casino. Despite vicente2013's account being closed, the casino allowed him to open another account using the same details, and he was able to use the same payment method to make a deposit. We do not consider this to be proper player protection from the casino's side.

After asking velobet.com to close my account due to gambling addiction and for this reason they closed it, the next day I was able to open another one with my same personal information and deposit with the same bank account, I realized that I would never be able to get out of this illness because casinos like velobet.com prevented me from doing so by opening all the doors and facilities for me to continue playing, knowing my gambling addiction problem clearly, to take advantage of my illness, which led me to attempt suicide.

Dear Velobet Casino representative,


As discussed during our Skype conversation, players with a gambling problem should be protected. In most casinos, it is impossible for a self-excluded player to create a duplicate account using the same details that were previously excluded.


We strongly believe that the player should be refunded and that your registration process should be enhanced to avoid this situation.

Dear Velobet Casino representative,


I would like to highlight that nothing changed on our position. 


In cases where a player admits gambling addiction, the casino should make sure that such a player will not be able to create another account. In such cases, there is a simple logic where we are on the side of the player, if such a player used true personal details during a registration of his multiple account.

Dear Vicente2013,


You are writing here like the casino has responsibility for your personal failures.


The casino admitted that their registration system didn't work correctly and they should refund your deposits from the second account.


This is only because you admitted gambling addiction and ask the casino to self-exclude you.


The only what the casino can and will do in this case is refunding your deposits from the second account.

Dear Vicente2013,


In most jurisdictions, self-exclusion functions in a way that, upon self-exclusion, the casino guarantees that the player cannot deposit any further money in the casino. If the casino fails to enforce this, they bear financial responsibility. (this does not apply when the player uses altered details or is actively trying to bypass the blocking)


Essentially, a self-excluded player is prohibited from both losing and winning in the casino from which they self-excluded.


The casino does not hold any other forms of liability.


Therefore, you are entitled to a full refund of your second account but nothing beyond that.

Dear Matej, thank you again for having demonstrated with evidence that casino velobet.com takes advantage of vulnerable people, but its safety index remains the same.

I have every right in the world to disagree with the resolution because no one understands what it feels like when you can't take it anymore and report it to a velobet.com casino.

that you want to close your account due to gambling addiction and you open another account with your same personal data and you no longer see a way out and as a result of the addiction and the desire to continue playing, the world is coming upon you and you so badly want to take your life and end it However, the casino is responsible for that and for me it cannot end like this. They are only going to change and they will refund the second account, no, this is not how it works and I have every right to go and I will do so to all the levels in the world that correspond because he could have been a minor and they would have played with his life anyway without caring. nothing.

You have carried out the case very well with the evidence that I sent you and you handled it, by wanting to reimburse me the money I suppose they assume their mistake for which you ask.

I think 1-They should be penalized a lot economically and I repeat once again since there is no control they could be minor and almost cost a life although it seems that this matters little to everyone

2-The error should be published, especially in the places where it is advertised, and there was a very serious error that could have cost LIVES, I repeat, so that it does not happen to anyone else.

3-I don't understand how, assuming the very serious error, the same security index continues in casino guru, I don't understand it.

If you share this and you cannot help me anymore, I understand it and I am very grateful Matej because you have managed to make them accept their serious mistake so that I can take other steps with this complaint but now they do nothing and nothing has happened here and that cannot be, I will go as far as I need to, no matter what it costs me. They have made me lose everything and almost my life too. Thank you.

Dear Vicente2013,


I'm sorry if I misunderstood, but you mentioned admitting to a gambling addiction and self-excluding yourself. Subsequently, you opened a new account and deposited €10. 


Are you now suggesting that because the casino allowed you to lose this €10, it nearly cost you your life, and therefore the casino should be held accountable? Have I grasped the situation correctly, or is there more to it that I may have overlooked?

Aaaaa that's the topic, you've finally brought it up. It seems to me that you have no idea what an addition to the game is, it doesn't matter that after informing them that you want to exclude yourself due to gambling addiction, you play 10 cents than 10 euros or 100 velobet.com When you open another account again with your same personal data KNOWING THAT YOU ARE ADDICTED TO THE GAME velobet.com has no responsibility, right? Because I have deposited 10 euros and that is not worth losing your life, you have no idea what the feeling is when You see that they can play with your life whenever and however they want. In any case, I repeat that thanks to you they have recognized their responsibility, which is still not varied in the security index, something that I still do not understand.

and it's not the 10 euros, it's the fact that they allow you to continue ruining your life, knowing perfectly well that you have problems. Maybe they have every right to take advantage of sick players, for them, the better, but I'm so surprised by the favorable publicity despite that and I'll stay longer. Don't worry when competent authorities confirm to me that they have every right to take advantage of vulnerable people, knowing perfectly well whether it's 10 cents, 10 euros, 100 euros or 1000 or whatever they want because I could have deposited 10 or 100000 without any control if I was 10 or 20 but that's not the case. It matters, I don't understand many things but I will do everything I can to make things fair and legal.

Dear Vicente2013,


I understand that a gambling problem is very serious. But please understand that the casino holds only financial liability, in this case €10. If you lose on your second account €1000000, it would be €1000000.


I will give you an example:


If a person addicted to alcohol goes to the bar and explains his situation to the bartender - that he can't drink any alcoholic drinks. However, the next day he comes there again and the same bartender serves him alcoholic drinks, he can maybe blame the bartender for what those drinks caused him that night, but hardly he can blame the bartender for his destroyed liver after years of drinking. The same logic applies in your case.


If you still need assistance, I recommend checking out:

Could you please confirm if the casino refunded you €10, so that I can close the case?

If the waiter gives him alcohol again after telling him that he is an alcoholic, he has full responsibility for the social and criminal outcome and guilt for what happens.

Close it when you think appropriate. I am not satisfied with the resolution and I am waiting for the resolution to sue. Thanks to you, I will do so with the evidence in this complaint, from them, and all the evidence that I have, the truth is, others that have been sent to me. more players

Dear Velobet Casino representative,


If a person struggling with gambling addiction is refunded by the casino, the money should be sent directly to the player or steps should be taken to prevent them from using it for further gambling. Placing the funds in the player's account and assuming they will withdraw them is a risky assumption - addicted players are likely to use the money for gambling, leading to the need for another refund by the casino.


Individuals dealing with gambling addiction explicitly express the need to not be able to play in order to avoid losing all their funds, this casino should honor and safeguard.


Could you please confirm that you ensure the refunded money cannot be utilized for gambling purposes?
