Account holder: < sent to casino >
Casino: MoonWin Casino
Issue: Failure to apply responsible gaming measures despite repeated requests
Period: 12–16 December
Amount involved: €11,845.50 pending withdrawals
I am submitting this formal complaint regarding MoonWin Casino’s failure to uphold its responsible gaming obligations, despite my repeated and explicit requests for a temporary account limitation / cooldown period.
I contacted MoonWin before my losses occurred, clearly stating that I was playing excessively, felt at risk, and needed my account restricted to prevent further gambling while my withdrawals were pending. These requests were ignored, deflected, or delayed, directly resulting in significant financial harm.
Timeline of Events
12 December – 03:41
I contacted VIP support and sent an email requesting:
A 48-hour cooldown
Full restriction of gameplay
Protection of my pending withdrawals (€11,845.50)
I explicitly stated that I had been playing a lot and needed a break for responsible gaming reasons.
12 December – 05:53
VIP support replied only about withdrawal processing and did not address my request for account limitation or cooldown.
12 December – 11:17
After losing approximately 30,000, I contacted support again, stating clearly:
I had asked for help earlier
My request was ignored
The losses occurred because my account was not limited when I asked
12 December – 14:18 to 14:30
I was told:
My account could not be frozen because I had a balance
Only my VIP manager could do this
I should wait for my manager to reply
Despite the fact that I was actively requesting responsible gaming intervention.
13 December – multiple contacts
I repeatedly asked for:
A 3-day cooldown
Temporary restriction of gameplay
Instead of action:
I received generic withdrawal responses
I was asked unnecessary questions
My request was continuously delayed or ignored
During this period, my losses increased significantly.
16 December – Final Response
After losing everything, MoonWin stated:
“Unfortunately, there’s not much we can do about this… we’re unable to issue any refund.”
This response ignores the fact that I requested help before the losses occurred.
Key Responsible Gaming Failures
I clearly communicated loss of control
I explicitly requested a cooldown / account restriction
My requests were repeated over several days
No immediate protective action was taken
I was allowed to continue gambling while withdrawals were pending
Support staff focused on retention and withdrawals instead of player protection
This is a direct breach of responsible gaming principles, where a player requesting limitation must be protected immediately, not delayed until further losses occur.
Impact
Because MoonWin failed to act when I requested help:
I lost eveything, they only approved one withdrawal earlier. the amount in the complaint here is lost.
My pending withdrawals were not protected
I experienced significant emotional distress
The situation escalated despite clear warning signs
These losses were preventable had MoonWin acted responsibly when first notified
