Spinanga Casino - Das Spielerkonto wurde im Zusammenhang mit dem Selbstausschluss nicht korrekt behandelt.

I would like to file a complaint against Spinanga Casino for their failure to implement responsible gaming measures and their extremely poor handling of my self-exclusion requests.

I had previously requested self-exclusion from my account due to serious gambling issues. However, my account was subsequently reopened without my express consent, allowing me to return to playing and making further deposits.

When I became aware of the situation, I sent numerous emails to the casino requesting immediate permanent self-exclusion from my account, clearly specifying that I suffer from compulsive gambling problems and need to be protected from accessing the game. To date, I have sent at least five emails without receiving any concrete response, and my account has not been closed in a timely manner.

During this period, my account remained fully accessible, allowing me to continue depositing and playing, resulting in significant financial losses. Furthermore, the casino failed to take any immediate measures to protect me, despite being clearly informed of my vulnerable player status.

I believe this behavior represents a serious violation of responsible gaming principles. An operator receiving a request for self-exclusion based on gambling addiction should take immediate action to prevent further access and deposits.

For these reasons, I ask Casino Guru to examine the case and invite the casino to:

Confirm the immediate permanent self-exclusion of my account;

Provide an explanation for reopening the previously self-excluded account without my consent;

Consider a full refund of deposits after reopening the account and after repeated unanswered self-exclusion requests;

Verify compliance with the casino's responsible gaming procedures.

I have emails sent to the casino demonstrating the repeated self-exclusion requests and the failure to promptly address the issue.

Desidero presentare un reclamo nei confronti di Spinanga Casino per la mancata applicazione delle misure di gioco responsabile e per la gestione estremamente carente delle mie richieste di autoesclusione.

Avevo già richiesto in passato l'autoesclusione del mio account a causa di gravi problematiche legate al gioco d'azzardo. Nonostante ciò, il mio account è stato successivamente riaperto senza il mio consenso espresso, consentendomi di tornare a giocare e a effettuare ulteriori depositi.

Quando mi sono reso conto della situazione, ho inviato numerose email al casinò richiedendo l'immediata autoesclusione permanente del mio account, specificando chiaramente di soffrire di problemi di gioco compulsivo e di aver bisogno di essere protetto dall'accesso al gioco. Ad oggi ho inviato almeno cinque email senza ricevere alcuna risposta concreta e senza che il conto venisse chiuso tempestivamente.

Durante questo periodo il mio account è rimasto pienamente accessibile, permettendomi di continuare a depositare e giocare, con conseguenti perdite economiche significative. Inoltre, il casinò non ha adottato alcuna misura immediata per tutelarmi nonostante fosse stato chiaramente informato della mia condizione di giocatore vulnerabile.

Ritengo che tale comportamento rappresenti una grave violazione dei principi di gioco responsabile. Un operatore che riceve una richiesta di autoesclusione motivata da problemi di dipendenza dal gioco dovrebbe intervenire immediatamente per impedire ulteriori accessi e ulteriori depositi.

Per questi motivi chiedo che Casino Guru esamini il caso e inviti il casinò a:

Confermare l'immediata autoesclusione permanente del mio account;

Fornire una spiegazione in merito alla riapertura dell'account precedentemente autoescluso senza il mio consenso;

Valutare il rimborso integrale degli importi depositati dopo la riapertura dell'account e dopo le ripetute richieste di autoesclusione rimaste senza risposta;

Verificare il rispetto delle procedure di gioco responsabile adottate dal casinò.

Sono in possesso delle email inviate al casinò che dimostrano le ripetute richieste di autoesclusione e la mancata gestione tempestiva del caso.

Important notice:

Casino Guru will never ask for payments or access to your accounts to complete KYC. If someone claims to be from Casino Guru and does that, do not share any information.

We only contact players through this official complaint thread or via @casino.guru e-mail addresses. Always check the sender’s domain and verify your complaint resolver’s e-mail address by clicking on their avatar visible inside the official complaint thread.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

• When was the first time you requested to be self-excluded from this casino? Please forward me the original self-exclusion request, along with the casino's confirmation that your account was closed, at veronika.f@casino.guru. Kindly include the full original email threads, not just screenshots.
• When exactly did you become aware that the casino had reopened your account? Was it reopened automatically, or did you have to request that it be reopened?
• Is your account currently closed, or are you still able to access it?
• Have you completed the full KYC verification process at this casino?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Veronika

Dear Veronika,

Thank you for your reply and for your attention to my case.

To answer your questions:

1) The first request for self-exclusion dates back to about a year ago and was motivated by gambling-related problems.

2) I realized the account was accessible again when I was able to log in and deposit funds. I never requested the account to be reopened, nor did I give any consent for its reactivation. For this reason, I consider it extremely serious that a previously self-excluded account has been made operational again.

3) My account is currently still accessible/wasn't closed despite numerous emails to support expressly requesting permanent self-exclusion due to gambling issues. I've sent at least 10 requests without receiving a timely response.

Yes, I have completed the KYC verification process required by the casino.

I would also like to point out that the main point of my complaint is simply about losses incurred while gambling and the fact that a previously self-excluded account was reactivated without my consent and that, subsequently, my repeated requests for self-exclusion went unanswered for a significant period.

During this period, the casino allowed me to continue depositing and playing despite having been clearly informed of my compulsive gambling issues and the need to block my access to the platform. I believe this constitutes a serious failure to implement responsible gaming measures.

I will forward all available documentation, including emails sent to the casino and proof of self-exclusion requests.

Thank you for your support and I remain available for any further information.

Best regards,

Antonio S.

Gentile Veronika,

grazie per la Sua risposta e per l'attenzione dedicata al mio caso.

Per rispondere alle Sue domande:

1)La prima richiesta di autoesclusione risale a circa un anno fa ed era motivata da problemi legati al gioco d'azzardo.

2)Mi sono accorto che il conto era nuovamente accessibile quando sono riuscito ad effettuare l'accesso e a depositare fondi. Non ho mai richiesto la riapertura dell'account né ho fornito alcun consenso alla sua riattivazione. Per questo motivo ritengo estremamente grave che un account precedentemente autoescluso sia stato reso nuovamente operativo.

3)Attualmente il mio account risulta ancora accessibile/non risultava chiuso nonostante le numerose email inviate al supporto nelle quali richiedevo espressamente l'autoesclusione permanente per problemi di gioco. Ho inviato almeno 10 richieste senza ricevere una gestione tempestiva della situazione.

Sì, ho completato la procedura di verifica KYC richiesta dal casinò.

Desidero inoltre sottolineare che il punto principale del mio reclamo riguarda semplicemente le perdite subite durante il gioco e il fatto che un account precedentemente autoescluso sia stato riattivato senza il mio consenso e che, successivamente, le mie ripetute richieste di autoesclusione siano rimaste senza adeguato riscontro per un periodo significativo.

Durante questo periodo il casinò mi ha consentito di continuare a depositare e giocare nonostante fosse stato chiaramente informato delle mie problematiche di gioco compulsivo e della necessità di impedirmi l'accesso alla piattaforma. Ritengo che ciò costituisca una grave mancanza nell'applicazione delle misure di gioco responsabile.

Provvederò a trasmettere tutta la documentazione disponibile, comprese le email inviate al casinò e le prove delle richieste di autoesclusione.

La ringrazio per il Suo supporto e resto a disposizione per qualsiasi ulteriore informazione.

Cordiali saluti,

Antonio S.

EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T RESPOND TO THE THOUSAND EMAILS I SENT, THE CASINO CONTINUES TO SEND ME PROMOTIONS TO ENCOURAGE ME TO DEPOSIT. IT SEEMS SURREAL TO ME.

THEN I CONTACTED SUPPORT TO ASK IF THEY WOULD ANSWER MY EMAILS, BUT NOTHING THERE WAS ANYTHING DOING.

FROM COMPLAINT

NONOSTANTE NON MI RISPONDANO ALLE MILLE EMAIL INVIATE, IL CASINO MI CONTINUA A INVIARE PROMOZINI PER INCENTIVARMI A DEPOSITARE MI SEMBRA SURREALE,

POI HO CONTATTATO L'ASSISTENZA PER CHIEDERE SE MI RISPONDESSERO ALLE EMAIL, MA NIENTE DA FARE..

DA DENUNCIA

Thank you for your responses.

Please note that, in order to investigate your case, we need to review your complete self-exclusion requests together with the casino's responses. Therefore, please forward me the complete email threads containing the communication between you and the casino's customer support, rather than screenshots of the messages you sent.

Please include all communication, starting with your first self-exclusion request and ending with the most recent emails regarding the closure of your account. My email address is veronika.f@casino.guru.

Dear Veronica,

I would like to hereby forward to you all the documentation relating to the requests I sent to the casino between June 17th and June 29th.

Attached, you'll find the 14 emails I sent trying to get support and permanently close my account. None of them received a response.

In an attempt to be heard, I also sent the same communications from my Aruba company certified email address (PEC), but received no response there either.

The situation is even more serious when you consider that, despite my repeated requests to self-exclude and clear communication of my gambling problems, the casino continued to regularly send me promotional emails, effectively incentivizing me to continue playing.

I also contacted customer service via chat, explaining the situation several times. The operators always assured me they would help me and forward the request to the appropriate department, but, in reality, no concrete action was ever taken, and I never received any assistance.

I believe this behavior is completely unacceptable and represents a serious violation of the obligations that a gaming operator should respect towards a player who expressly requests self-exclusion due to pathological gambling problems.

I remain available should it be necessary to provide further documentation or any other information useful for evaluating the complaint.

Thank you for your attention and support.

Best regards,

Antonio S.

Gentile Veronica,

con la presente desidero inoltrarLe tutta la documentazione relativa alle richieste che ho inviato al casinò nel periodo compreso tra il 17 giugno e il 29 giugno.

In allegato troverà le 14 email che ho inviato nel tentativo di ottenere assistenza e la chiusura definitiva del mio account. Nessuna di queste ha ricevuto risposta.

Nel tentativo di essere ascoltato, ho inoltre inviato le stesse comunicazioni anche dalla mia casella di posta elettronica certificata (PEC) aziendale Aruba, senza ricevere alcun riscontro nemmeno in quel caso.

La situazione è ancora più grave se si considera che, nonostante le mie ripetute richieste di autoesclusione e la chiara comunicazione dei miei problemi di gioco d'azzardo, il casinò ha continuato a inviarmi regolarmente email promozionali, incentivandomi di fatto a continuare a giocare.

Ho contattato anche il servizio di assistenza tramite chat, spiegando più volte la situazione. Gli operatori mi hanno sempre assicurato che avrebbero provveduto ad aiutarmi e a inoltrare la richiesta al reparto competente, ma, nei fatti, non è mai stato intrapreso alcun intervento concreto e non ho mai ricevuto alcuna assistenza.

Ritengo che questo comportamento sia del tutto inaccettabile e rappresenti una grave violazione degli obblighi che un operatore di gioco dovrebbe rispettare nei confronti di un giocatore che richiede espressamente l'autoesclusione per problemi di gioco patologico.

Resto a disposizione qualora fosse necessario fornire ulteriore documentazione o qualsiasi altro elemento utile alla valutazione del reclamo.

La ringrazio per l'attenzione e per il supporto.

Cordiali saluti,

Antonio S.
