Request for refund due to gambling addiction and inadequate response to account closure requests


1 year ago

Dear Askgamblers Team,


I am submitting a complaint against Casinia Casino, as my repeated requests have gone unanswered for months. This situation has caused me significant financial and emotional distress, and I kindly ask for your assistance in resolving this matter.


I have been a long-time customer of Casinia and have developed a problem with gambling addiction. As a result, I explicitly requested the casino via email on April 29, 2024, to permanently close my account. This request was ignored, and I was able to continue playing. On May 25, 2024, I submitted a second request, explicitly stating that I had already lost a significant amount of money and that this situation had even led to a marital crisis. However, this message was also ignored.


Since my initial request to close my account, I have continued to have access to it and have suffered losses totaling approximately CHF 10,000 during this period.


My Demand:

I demand that Casinia refunds the amount of CHF 10,000, which was lost after my initial account closure request on April 29, 2024. This amount represents the losses incurred due to the casino’s failure to act on my clear and urgent requests to close my account.


Evidence:

• I have attached the original emails in German, along with their English translations in PDF format.

• Screenshots of my casino account showing deposits made via Apple Pay and Paysafecard.

• Additionally, I am willing to provide my bank statements as further proof, if required.


Key Points:

• I repeatedly asked the casino to close my account and, in my second request, explicitly highlighted my problematic gambling situation.

• I informed the casino that I had already lost a significant amount of money and that this situation had led to a marital crisis.

• The casino failed to respond to any of these requests, allowing me to continue gambling, which caused further significant financial and personal harm.


I kindly ask Askgamblers to act as a mediator and assist in finding a timely resolution. Should I not receive a refund or a satisfactory response within 10 days, I will be forced to consider legal action and escalate the matter to the appropriate regulatory authorities and consumer organizations.


Thank you for your support.

Delayed withdrawal since August 20th

Casinia Casino – $300 NZD withdrawal repeatedly delayed and no meaningful assistance from support


I am seeking assistance regarding a $300 NZD withdrawal from Casinia Casino which I have been attempting to receive since 20 August 2026.


I initially requested the withdrawal to my Visa card. Casinia subsequently advised me that their records showed the payment provider cancelled the withdrawal on 20 August.


I then attempted to withdraw the funds via bank transfer/wire, but I was unable to complete the withdrawal using this method. I contacted Casinia support and was told that the relevant team would contact me to resolve the issue. Nobody contacted me.


On 24 August 2026, I therefore submitted a new withdrawal request for the $300 NZD via Skrill.


That withdrawal remains listed as “under review.”


I have contacted Casinia support repeatedly seeking an explanation and assistance. Unfortunately, I have largely received generic/scripted responses rather than a specific explanation for why my withdrawal remains under review or what is required from me to complete it.


I have not refused or failed to provide any information requested by Casinia. If verification or additional documentation is required, I am willing to provide it immediately. I simply want Casinia to tell me what is required and process my withdrawal.


I also lodged a formal complaint directly with Casinia three days ago. I acknowledge that their internal complaints process may still be within its stated response period, but the underlying withdrawal issue predates that complaint and remains unresolved.


My concern is therefore not simply that a withdrawal has taken several days. The sequence has been:


20 August: Visa withdrawal cancelled by Casinia's payment provider.


Following this: Attempted to arrange bank transfer; Casinia support advised that their team would contact me to resolve the issue, but nobody contacted me.


24 August: $300 NZD withdrawal requested through Skrill.


30 August: Skrill withdrawal remains “under review,” with no specific explanation or resolution provided.


I am asking Casinia to:


  1. Process my $300 NZD withdrawal without further unnecessary delay; or
  2. Clearly identify the specific reason preventing the withdrawal and tell me exactly what action or documentation is required from me.


I can provide screenshots of the pending withdrawal and my communications with Casinia support if required.


Thank you for your assistance.

I have crypto verification issues
I am unable to withdraw $10,561.83 in winnings from my Casinia account. The casino has neither paid the funds nor given me any workable way to complete verification.

I funded the account using cryptocurrency from a self-custody Exodus wallet, and I won the balance through fair play. When I requested my withdrawal [on or around [date], if known], Casinia asked me to upload "proof of account ownership" for the crypto wallet. The difficulty is that Exodus is a self-custody wallet — it holds no account in anyone's name and issues no document showing an account holder's name. The specific document they are asking for therefore does not exist for this type of wallet.

I have repeatedly asked Casinia what alternative proof they will accept, and I have offered to provide what is actually available: screenshots from my Exodus wallet showing my wallet address and the exact transaction I sent to Casinia, including the transaction ID, which is independently verifiable on the blockchain; and a screenshot of my wallet open alongside my logged-in Casinia account, to establish that the wallet is in my possession. Casinia has not told me whether any of this is acceptable, and has given me no guidance whatsoever on how to complete verification or withdraw my funds.

I have contacted customer support multiple times. On at least five separate occasions I was told my case would be sent "with urgency" to the relevant department, which would then contact me. No one has ever followed up, and my direct questions go unanswered.
I want to be clear that I am not refusing verification. I am willing to prove ownership of the wallet by any reasonable, standard method. I am asking that Casinia either accept the standard proof I can provide, or tell me precisely what they require, and then process the withdrawal of the $10,561.83 owed to me.

Formal Complaint Repeated Cancellation of Withdrawals Without Valid Explanation

I am writing to formally complain about Casinia Casino’s repeated and unexplained cancellation of my withdrawal requests, despite my account being fully verified.

I have attempted multiple times to withdraw my winnings, and each withdrawal has been cancelled without a valid reason. On every occasion, your support team reassured me that everything was in order and that I did not need to worry, only for the withdrawal to be cancelled again afterwards without any explanation.

Initially, Casinia claimed the issue was related to my banking method, so I followed your advice and changed my withdrawal method to bank transfer. I then submitted a new withdrawal request of $1,000 via bank transfer. I was told by Casinia support that if this withdrawal were to be cancelled again, it would be due to my bank.

To rule this out, I contacted my bank directly. My bank confirmed that they do accept transactions from online casinos via bank transfer, and that there were no rejected or failed incoming transactions on their side. They also clarified that they do not accept casino payouts via Visa debit transfers, which contradicts the explanations provided by Casinia.

Additionally, I submitted my government-issued ID and driver’s license as requested and complied fully with all verification requirements. At no point have I been informed of any outstanding verification issues or missing documents.

Based on the above, it appears that Casinia is providing misleading and inconsistent information regarding the reason for my cancelled withdrawals. I have not been given a clear, documented, or legitimate explanation for why my legitimate winnings are not being paid.

I am formally requesting:

A clear written explanation for the cancellation of my withdrawals

Immediate processing and payment of my verified winnings

Full transparency regarding any alleged issues with my account or withdrawal method

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will escalate this complaint to the appropriate regulatory authorities and independent dispute resolution platforms.

I expect a written response and resolution without further delay.

Sincerely, < first name removed >
