Self exclusion ignored for 8 months and 14772 kr lost after repeated closure requests

I am filing this complaint against Spinanga Casino for repeatedly failing to honour my self-exclusion and account closure requests, resulting in continued financial losses over a period of more than 8 months.

Timeline of events:

On 11 August 2025 at 01:09, I emailed [email protected] requesting permanent account closure. I stated clearly: "I want you to permanently close my account." When asked why, I replied: "I dont want to play on this site anymore, have lost enough." I followed up the same morning asking again for closure. No confirmation of closure was ever provided.

On 1 October 2025, I again requested self-exclusion and permanent closure (referenced in subsequent emails).

On 13 December 2025, I emailed again noting that despite multiple requests since August, the account was still active. I warned that allowing continued deposits after a closure request breached their responsible gambling obligations, and stated I would pursue a formal dispute through my bank if the issue was not resolved.

On 22 December 2025, I sent a formal self-exclusion request, explicitly requesting: (1) permanent account closure, (2) self-exclusion from all gambling services, and (3) removal of my personal data from marketing. Spinanga asked me to confirm I understood my balance would be voided. I confirmed. At 23:31 on 22 December, Spinanga confirmed the account was closed.

On 23 December 2025, in a separate email thread, Spinanga (Sami) also confirmed account closure.

Despite TWO written confirmations of closure, on 19 March 2026, Spinanga sent me a VIP promotional email from "Jorge," offering me a 50% deposit bonus and assigning me a "personal assistant." When I replied that I had self-excluded and demanded they stop contacting me, Jorge responded dismissively and it became clear my account had NOT actually been closed. Jorge's only response was "We work on it."

As of today (17 April 2026), my Spinanga account remains active with a balance of 0.90 kr. I can still log in and view my transaction history.

Financial losses:

My payment history shows completed deposits totalling approximately 14,772.73 kr (NOK) made after my first closure request on 11 August 2025, across 31 transactions:

- 11.08.2025 (after closure request): 600 kr
- 11-13.12.2025: 9,165 kr (16 deposits via Apple Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Cash)
- 13-17.04.2026: 5,007.73 kr (14 deposits via USDT ERC20 and Cash)

Evidence attached:

1. Email thread from 11.08.2025 showing initial closure request and follow-ups (6 emails)
2. Email thread from 22.12.2025 showing formal self-exclusion request and two confirmations of closure
3. Email thread from 19.03.2026 showing VIP promotional email sent to a self-excluded player, and Spinanga's admission the account was not closed
4. Screenshot of full payment history from Spinanga showing all deposits from 11.08.2025 to 17.04.2026, with the account still active
5. Detailed deposit list with all transaction IDs, dates, and amounts

What I am requesting:

A full refund of all deposits made after my first account closure request on 11 August 2025, totalling approximately 14,772.73 kr (NOK). These deposits should never have been possible. Spinanga had a clear obligation to close my account upon request and failed to do so despite multiple requests over 8 months, two written confirmations of closure, and a formal self-exclusion request citing responsible gambling concerns.

I also request that my account be permanently and verifiably closed, and that all marketing communications cease immediately.

Failure to close account due to gambling problem
I am seeking a refund of deposits accepted by Spinanga after I repeatedly requested permanent closure/self-exclusion of my account because of a gambling problem.
I have made multiple requests for my account to be permanently closed, dating back to 2025. In my communications I explicitly stated that I have a gambling problem and that I needed the account permanently closed so that I could no longer access it. On one occasion, Spinanga responded asking why I wanted my account closed. I replied explicitly that it was because I have a gambling problem, but my account remained accessible.
On 2 June 2025 I again wrote to Spinanga stating: “I need to permanently close my account. I have asked twice before but it hasn't been closed. I don't want to even be able to access it ever again because I have a gambling problem and I need this casino to close the account so I can never log in again.”
Despite these repeated and unequivocal requests, my account was not permanently closed or self-excluded. I continued to have access to the casino and was able to make substantial further deposits. I subsequently made further requests for closure, including again explicitly stating that I had a gambling problem, but the account continued to remain accessible.
I have now reviewed and preserved Spinanga's own payment history, together with my email correspondence. Based on the transaction records I have documented so far, approximately NZD $20,000 in credited deposits were accepted during the relevant period after my requests for permanent closure/self-exclusion. There are several attempted withdrawals shown in the history, but these are marked Cancelled and were not paid to me.
I have attempted to resolve this issue directly with Spinanga on multiple occasions over an extended period. I have again contacted Spinanga directly regarding this matter, but given the repeated previous failure to action my responsible-gambling requests, I am now seeking assistance from AskGamblers.
I am requesting that Spinanga review the account from the date of my earliest documented gambling-problem/self-exclusion request and refund all deposits accepted after the point at which my account should have been permanently excluded, less any withdrawals that Spinanga can demonstrate were actually completed and paid to me.
I have retained screenshots of the casino's transaction history showing dates, amounts, transaction IDs, payment methods and transaction statuses, as well as copies of my emails requesting permanent closure because of my gambling problem. I can provide the complete evidence set as required.

Severe processing delay

Dear AskGamblers Complaints Team and Spinanga

​I am submitting a complaint regarding an ongoing and unresolved withdrawal issue with Spinanga Casino.

​I have been an active user on this platform for 2 years. My account is fully verified (KYC complete), and I requested the payout using the exact same debit/credit card that I used to make my deposits.

Timeline of Events:

​Sunday (Initial Request): I requested a withdrawal of 350EUR. According to the casino’s terms, this should have been processed within 3–5 business days (by Wednesday).

​Wednesday (Cancellation & Promise): On Wednesday, without any prior notice, reason, or explanation, the casino canceled my withdrawal and marked it as "failed." I immediately contacted Live Chat, where the agent assured me that if I resubmitted the request, it would receive top priority. I resubmitted the withdrawal on the same day (Wednesday).

​Current Situation: Since Wednesday, there has been zero progress. Live Chat repeatedly provides vague automated responses, claiming the transaction is "in its final stage," but no concrete information or proof of dispatch has been provided.

​Even if the funds are processed now, they will only arrive next week, which far exceeds the advertised 3–5 business day handling timeframe. I urgently needed these funds by Wednesday, and the casino's unjustified cancellation caused me significant inconvenience.

I would like to emphasize that I have successfully completed dozens of withdrawals to this exact same bank card in the past without a single issue or complaint. I was genuinely counting on this money by Wednesday, and this unexpected, unjustified delay has caused me significant financial inconvenience and hardship.

Immediate processing and approval of my pending withdrawal.

Fair compensation for the unjustified cancellation, broken promises regarding payment prioritization, and the severe delay despite my 2-year loyalty as an active customer.

I hope the AskGamblers team can help resolve this matter and hold Spinanga Casino accountable for their delay and broken promises.

​Thank you for your assistance.

Withdrawal delayed for over a week
Complaint Regarding Delayed Withdrawal at Spinanga Casino

Approximately one week ago, I submitted a €500 withdrawal request at Spinanga Casino using Zimpler, which was the same payment method I had used to make my deposit.

However, my first withdrawal request was cancelled by the casino without any clear explanation. After the cancellation, I noticed that Zimpler had been removed as an available withdrawal method. As a result, I had no choice but to submit a new withdrawal request via bank transfer.

Throughout both withdrawal requests, I have contacted the casino's customer support several times, as well as my assigned VIP Manager, to ask why my withdrawal has not been processed. Each time, I have only received a generic response telling me to wait. No one has been able to explain the reason for the delay, provide an estimated processing time, or tell me whether there is any issue with my withdrawal.

My account does not require identity verification, and I have not been asked to provide any additional documents. I am also a VIP Level 3 player, so I expected my withdrawal to be processed within the timeframes stated by the casino.

I find it very concerning that my first withdrawal request was cancelled because the withdrawal method I had previously used was no longer available, and that my second withdrawal request has also remained unprocessed without any clear explanation. This raises concerns that withdrawals may be intentionally delayed without a legitimate reason.

I respectfully request that Spinanga Casino process my withdrawal without further delay or provide a clear written explanation of what is preventing the withdrawal from being processed and when I can realistically expect to receive my funds.

I hope this matter can be resolved promptly and fairly without the need for any further action.
