I am filing an urgent complaint against Sankra Casino due to a severe and documented breach of Responsible Gambling regulations, and predatory practices targeting a player with a self-declared gambling disorder.
1. Initial Request for Self-Exclusion (July 28, 2026):
On July 28, 2026, I sent an email to Sankra Support explicitly stating that I suffer from gambling addiction ("ludopatía") and requested an immediate self-exclusion/ban. Responsible gambling standards dictate an immediate temporary block upon receiving such a statement.
2. Repeated Delays & VIP Retention Protocol:
Instead of blocking my account, the casino sent multiple responses acknowledging my request to close the account but refused to act immediately. They claimed that because I was a "VIP customer," I was required to send a separate request to [email protected]. Even when I challenged this policy on July 29 stating that their terms do not allow delaying closure, they refused to ban me. As a direct result of this negligence, I suffered immediate financial losses. I also explicitly submitted self-exclusion requests directly to the VIP account managers, which were completely ignored.
3. Immediate Financial Claim (July 30, 2026):
On July 30, I confronted support via email, stating that due to their refusal to process my self-exclusion on the 28th, I relapsed and lost €1,719, which I formally claimed back.
4. Aggressive VIP Targeting and Relapse Exploitation (August – September 2026):
Despite my explicit self-exclusion requests on July 28, July 30, August 31, and September 14:
My VIP Manager ("Lucía") repeatedly called my phone on August 19, offering "special gifts" to convince me to play.
She credited a 100% deposit bonus up to €1,000 to entice me to deposit again.
On another occasion, a VIP manager offered a 100% refund bonus of past losses with 1x wagering if I withdrew my formal complaint. Due to my severe gambling disorder, I succumbed to these predatory tactics and relapsed, suffering total losses exceeding €5,000.
Requested Solution:
Permanent Exclusion: Immediate and permanent closure of all accounts across Sankra Casino, MafiaCasino, and all affiliated brands.
Full Refund of Deposits: A full refund of the €5,000 deposited and lost after my initial explicit self-exclusion request on July 28, 2026, due to the casino's systematic failure to implement player protection controls.
