Account reopened after permanent closure
Hello AskGamblers team,
I would like to file a complaint regarding a permanent account closure that was not respected.
Timeline of events
17 December 2024
I contacted the casino and explicitly requested my gambling account to be closed, explaining that I had lost too much money and that closing the account was important to minimize further losses.
The casino confirmed the account closure the following day.
March 2025
After discovering that my account was still accessible despite the December 2024 confirmation, I contacted the casino again and requested the account to be closed.
The casino asked me to confirm my decision, which I did in writing.
They then confirmed in writing that my account was closed and stated that the account could only be reopened if l personally requested it.
Despite this, the account was later accessible again without any request or consent from me.
28 November 2025
I received a promotional marketing SMS from the casino on my personal phone number, even though my account was supposed to be permanently closed.
5–6 December 2025
After receiving the marketing message and being able to log in, I deposited a total of €531. These deposits should never have been possible, as the account should have remained permanently closed.
Casino response
When I requested a refund for these deposits, the casino refused and relied on their Terms & Conditions stating that deposits are non-refundable once used for betting. They did not address the core issue: the account should not have been accessible or marketed to at all after permanent closure confirmations.
Reason for complaint
* The casino confirmed permanent account closure in December 2024 and again in March 2025
* The casino stated the account would not be reopened without my request
* The account was nevertheless accessible again without my consent
* I received marketing SMS on 28 November 2025 despite the permanent closure
* Deposits were accepted on an account that should not have existed
I believe this is a clear breach of responsible gambling obligations and basic consumer protection principles.
I am requesting a refund of the deposits made after the confirmed permanent closure, a total of 531 euros.
I added the following files:
- Screenshot from email, 17th of December 2024, where I asked my account to be closed due to high losses and to minimize them in the future.
-Screenshot from email, 18th of December 2024, where my account closure were confirmed by the casino.
-Screenshot from email, 22nd of March 2025. I asked them again to close my account.
-Screenshot from 26th of March 2025. This is where I was told that my account is closed and won't be reopened unless I ask them to reopen it (and I never did)
-Screenshot from 28th of November 2025. I recieved a marketing text message, even though my account were supposed to be closed and no marketing messages shouldn't be sent to me.
- Two screenshots from the deposits I made for this reopened account
All messages are in Finnish language.
Thank you for reviewing my case.
Kind regards,
Teemu
