Winstler Casino - Player seeks refund due to unlicensed casino operation.

Hello Casinoguru,

I am having a problem with Winstler casino.

So i made a mistake to register to this casino. But it did keep popping up in my e-mails and in text messages by phone. I did keep getting messages and at one moment i registered an account. This is illegal, because they are not allowed to operate in the Netherlands. They do have some kind of curaçao license, but they never should have let me made an account and let me make payments to them.

So after it did sink in, i did start a chat with support that i wanna close my account and i was directly asking them for a deposit refund due to gambling addiction, and the fact they did take my money and they had no license or any right to take that. She told me that the request was made and being sended to another part member of that casino.

Next day i get an email that they can not refund the money, but hope that i will overcome the difficulties.... Really?? Well by not paying me back my deposits that they accepted illegal, i will not overcome that.

They should pay me my money back and i demanded this to them. If this is not happening i will report them to local authority. Then they are not going to pay only for my deposits, but some more. But they are not responding after my last mail, so maybe can you help me with this.
