Exclusion request

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding Spinfin Casino’s repeated failure to process my permanent account closure and self-exclusion requests.

Since April 2026, I have contacted your support team on several occasions, clearly explaining that I was suffering from a gambling addiction and that I had completely lost control of my gambling behaviour.

In each of my emails, I explicitly requested the permanent closure of my account because I wanted to stop gambling completely. I made it absolutely clear that I did not want temporary restrictions, cooling-off periods, deposit limits, or any other alternative. My only request was for my account to be permanently closed so that I would no longer have any possibility of gambling.

I also explicitly warned your support team that if my account was not permanently closed despite my repeated requests, I would hold Spinfin responsible for any future losses because I knew I was no longer able to control my gambling.

Despite my repeated requests, despite informing you that I was addicted to gambling, financially vulnerable, and emotionally distressed, my account was never permanently closed.

Instead of respecting my wishes and fulfilling my request for permanent self-exclusion, your representatives repeatedly suggested alternative measures, encouraged me to continue playing, and offered me VIP bonuses, cashback offers, and promotional incentives. Even after I clearly refused these alternatives and insisted on permanent closure, my account remained fully accessible.

As a direct consequence, I continued gambling on your platform.

Since my first request for permanent closure on 14 April 2026, I deposited approximately €52,500, withdrew approximately €38,000, and suffered a net loss of approximately €14,500.

The consequences have been devastating.

Following my divorce, I fell into a severe gambling addiction during one of the most difficult periods of my life. I am now a single mother raising two children on my own. I am currently unemployed, I have exhausted my personal savings, and I have accumulated substantial debts and loans as a direct result of my gambling. My financial situation has become extremely difficult.

This is precisely why I repeatedly asked Spinfin for help by permanently closing my account. At no point did I ask for bonuses, promotions, cashback, or incentives to continue gambling. The only help I repeatedly requested was the permanent closure of my account so that I could stop gambling.

Instead of protecting a vulnerable customer who openly admitted to suffering from gambling addiction, Spinfin continued to encourage me to gamble by offering bonuses, VIP promotions, cashback rewards, and alternatives to permanent closure.

I would also like to point out that, on 23 March 2026, I voluntarily registered for self-exclusion from all licensed gambling operators in France. I am attaching the official confirmation of this exclusion to this complaint. This clearly demonstrates that my intention to stop gambling was genuine, serious, and consistent. I took every possible step to protect myself from gambling, and I expected Spinfin to respect my repeated requests in the same way.

Even today, I have once again requested the permanent closure of my account. Instead of simply respecting my request, I was once again offered another arrangement and additional bonuses rather than having my account permanently closed.

While preparing this complaint, I also found a number of public reviews from other players describing similar difficulties in obtaining permanent account closure despite repeated requests. I respectfully ask that this information be taken into consideration during your investigation.

I firmly believe that Spinfin failed to fulfil its responsible gambling obligations by ignoring my repeated requests for permanent self-exclusion despite being fully aware of my gambling addiction and my vulnerable personal and financial circumstances.

I respectfully request that Spinfin carefully review my case and consider reimbursing the losses I incurred after my initial request for permanent account closure and self-exclusion on 14 April 2026. I also request that my account be permanently closed without any further delay.

Please preserve all records relating to my account, including emails, live chat conversations, internal notes, responsible gambling assessments, VIP communications, bonus offers, and any other records concerning my account, as these documents may be required during the investigation of this complaint.

I have attached copies of my email correspondence as evidence of my repeated requests. I have also attached the official confirmation of my self-exclusion from licensed French gambling operators. I am able to provide my complete transaction history and any additional supporting documentation upon request.

I sincerely hope that this matter can be resolved fairly and amicably. However, given the seriousness of this situation and the significant financial losses I have suffered after my repeated requests for permanent self-exclusion were ignored, I reserve all of my legal rights. If necessary, I am prepared to seek independent legal advice and pursue this matter with the assistance of a lawyer.

I look forward to your prompt response.

Yours faithfully,

Hello,

The casino has finally responded and confirmed that my account has been closed. However, I have been requesting the closure of my account since April. It is disappointing that it took a complaint on this website for my request to finally be processed.

The casino is now refusing to refund the money I lost during this period, claiming that their Terms and Conditions do not allow it. However, those same Terms and Conditions clearly state that when a player requests the closure of their account, Spinfin Casino is required to carry out that request.

By failing to comply with this obligation, they allowed me to continue gambling, which resulted in financial losses that I believe were caused by their negligence.

I consider this completely unacceptable. I will therefore be referring this matter to my lawyers to protect my rights. I do not intend to let this matter rest.

Breach of responsible gambling practices and player protection
Dear AskGamblers Team,

I am writing to you to file a formal complaint against Spinfin Casino regarding a very serious breach of responsible gambling practices and player protection.

On 20.04.2026, I contacted the casino via email and clearly requested an immediate, permanent self-exclusion. In my message, I explicitly stated that I am struggling with a gambling addiction and needed my account to be closed and blocked without any delay.

According to all international responsible gambling standards and regulations, a request where a player explicitly mentions addiction must be processed immediately to protect the player from further harm.

Instead of protecting me in a vulnerable moment, the casino acted in a completely irresponsible and unacceptable manner. A VIP Account Manager replied to my email, but completely ignored my self-exclusion request. Instead of closing the account, he actively encouraged me to continue gambling by suggesting that I should wait until Monday to receive a 10% cashback bonus so I could "fully benefit" from it.

As a direct result of this predatory behavior, I suffered multiple moments of weakness over the following weeks. Because my account was kept open unlawfully, I ended up making numerous additional deposits. None of these financial losses would have occurred if the casino had fulfilled its legal and ethical duty to block my account immediately back in April.

In fact, the casino refused to take any proper action until today, 21.05.2026. My account was only finally closed today because I explicitly threatened to report their severe regulatory breaches to both the UK Gambling Commission and the Costa Rica Gambling Authorities. It is unacceptable that it required a legal threat for them to respect a self-exclusion request based on addiction.

Key Points of the Breach:
Clear Notification: I explicitly informed the casino about my gambling problem.

Direct Request: I requested immediate, permanent self-exclusion on 20.04.2026.

Failure to Act: The casino failed to close my account, leaving it open for a full month and ignoring my vulnerability.

Exploitation: The casino used a promotional incentive (10% cashback) to keep an admitted gambling addict playing.

Forced Action: The account was only closed today, 21.05.2026, after I threatened to report them to gaming authorities (UKGC and Costa Rica).

This situation has caused me immense distress, and I feel that my vulnerability was knowingly and systematically exploited for financial gain.

Therefore, I am requesting:

1 A full refund of all deposits made after my explicit self-exclusion request on 20.04.2026 up until the closure today. I have made numerous deposits during this past month and require a full audit of my account history to calculate the exact total amount.

2 A formal confirmation that my account has now been permanently and irreversibly closed due to gambling addiction.

I have and can provide evidence to support my claim, including:
My original email from 20.04.2026 stating my gambling problem and requesting closure.

The casino's response offering cashback instead of blocking the account.

Correspondence from today (21.05.2026) regarding the regulatory threats and the subsequent account closure.

Bank/payment statements showing the extensive history of deposits made after the self-exclusion request.

I kindly ask the AskGamblers team to review my case and assist me in reaching a fair and just resolution.
Sincerely,

Casino Failed to Block Account After Addiction Disclosure
Dear AskGamblers Team,

I would like to file a formal complaint against Spinfin Casino regarding a serious breach of responsible gambling practices.

On 23.04.2026, I contacted the casino and clearly requested an immediate, permanent self-exclusion. In my message, I explicitly stated that I have a gambling addiction problem and needed my account to be blocked without delay.

According to responsible gambling standards, my request should have been processed immediately, and my account should have been closed at once.

However, instead of protecting me, the casino acted in a completely inappropriate and irresponsible manner.

A VIP Account Manager replied to me and did not apply the self-exclusion. Instead, he encouraged me to continue gambling by suggesting that I should wait until Monday to receive a 10% cashback, so I could “fully benefit” from it.

This is unacceptable.

At a moment when I clearly stated I was struggling with addiction, instead of helping me, the casino encouraged me to continue gambling. This was a direct exploitation of my vulnerable state.

As a result of this message, during a moment of weakness, I made additional deposits, which would never have happened if my account had been properly blocked as requested.

I want to emphasize:

* I clearly informed the casino about my gambling problem.
* I explicitly requested immediate self-exclusion.
* The casino failed to act on this request.
* Instead, they used a promotional incentive (cashback) to keep me playing.
* This directly led to further financial losses.

I believe this is a serious violation of responsible gambling obligations and player protection principles.

Therefore, I am requesting:

* A full refund of all deposits made after my self-exclusion request on 23.04.2026
* A confirmation that my account has been permanently closed

I can provide all necessary evidence, including:

* My original self-exclusion request
* The casino’s response encouraging me to wait for cashback
* Proof of deposits made after this interaction

This situation has caused me significant distress, and I feel that my vulnerability was knowingly exploited.

I kindly ask AskGamblers to review this case and assist me in reaching a fair resolution.

Sincerely,
Paulina
