Mishandling of my self exclusion request
I am filing this complaint against TurboWins (operated by Igloo Ventures SRL) regarding the mishandling of my self-exclusion request and the losses that followed.
On 10 June 2026, I sent a clear self-exclusion request by email. In the email, I explicitly stated that I wanted to stay away from gambling / stop playing.
TurboWins did not implement the restriction immediately. Approximately one week later, they themselves decided to apply a one-month self-exclusion and confirmed this by email. They don’t have a 1-month minimum is 6months.
According to their own Responsible Gambling and Self-Exclusion policy, such requests should be handled promptly (within 24 hours). In my case, there was a clear delay of around 7 days.
On the day the 1-month self-exclusion period expired, the VIP manager contacted me and applied a bonus to my account, stating ”dropped something in your account.” The account was made fully available again. I then deposited and played, resulting in a net gambling loss of approximately €1,966 from 20 July 2026 to 26 July..
This was not an isolated incident. I had previously self-excluded from SlotMonster and later from SlotMaster (related brands under the same operator group). After each self-exclusion, I received marketing and bonus offers from the next brand (SlotMonster → SlotMaster → TurboWins).
I have already submitted a formal complaint with full supporting evidence to the TurboWins Complaints team (around 28 July 2026). They acknowledged receipt but have not provided a substantive resolution.
I am requesting full reimbursement of the net losses (€1,966) incurred after the delayed and poorly handled self-exclusion, followed by VIP contact and bonus reactivation of the account.
Supporting evidence includes:
• My original self-exclusion email (where I clearly asked to stay away from gambling)
• TurboWins’ delayed confirmation of a one-month self-exclusion
• VIP manager communication and bonus record
• Full transaction history and net loss calculation
• TurboWins Responsible Gambling / Self-Exclusion policy
• Evidence of cross-brand re-engagement after previous self-exclusions
I can provide all documents and screenshots upon request.
