Realz Casino - A conta do jogador permanece aberta apesar dos pedidos de encerramento.

Dear Casino Guru Complaints Team,

I wish to submit a complaint regarding Realz Casino and respectfully request your assistance in reviewing my case.

The approximate disputed amount is €2,100, representing my approximate net losses incurred after I repeatedly requested that my account be closed and permanently self-excluded.

Timeline

15 February 2026 – I emailed Realz requesting that my account be closed.

16 February 2026 – Instead of processing my request, I was upgraded to VIP status and offered a €40 cash bonus.

22 March 2026 – I submitted a formal Self-Exclusion Request, explaining that it was due to responsible gambling concerns. I requested immediate and permanent account closure, permanent self-exclusion, removal from all marketing communications, and written confirmation.

26 May 2026 – I again requested that my account be closed.

19 June 2026 – I emailed my VIP manager requesting once again that my account be closed.

19 June 2026 – Rather than processing my request, I received a €50 cash bonus.

20 June 2026 – I was again encouraged to keep my account open and offered a further €50 loyalty bonus.

23 June 2026 – I again requested that my account be closed.

24 June 2026 – Rather than confirming closure, I received another email encouraging me to remain a VIP customer together with another €50 cash bonus.

Despite my repeated requests, my account remained accessible, and I continued to receive promotional emails, VIP communications and bonus offers encouraging me to continue gambling.

I believe these actions were inconsistent with the purpose of my repeated account closure requests and my formal self-exclusion request based on responsible gambling concerns.

I can provide:

My email correspondence with Realz.

My formal self-exclusion request.

My Subject Access Request (SAR).

Supporting communications demonstrating the continued VIP contact and bonus offers following my repeated requests for account closure.

I am now actively participating in a gambling recovery programme and remain fully committed to my recovery. While I am seeking appropriate redress for my approximate losses of €2,100, it is equally important to me that my concerns regarding the handling of my account closure and self-exclusion requests are independently reviewed. I sincerely hope that this complaint also contributes to improving responsible gambling procedures and helps protect other vulnerable players in the future.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. If you require any further information or documentation, I would be more than happy to provide it.

Kind regards,

Thank you, Tomas, for reviewing my complaint.

My account is no longer accessible as it has since been closed.

I will email you the requested communications showing where I informed Realz of my gambling issues, including the relevant timestamps. I will also include the casino's response to my refund request and the additional supporting evidence I have gathered.

Thank you for taking the time to review my case. I appreciate your assistance and will send the requested information by email shortly.

Thanks for your patience.

I went over the information you provided.

• Have you received any response to your self-exclusion request made on March 22nd via email?
• What were the circumstances when your account in the casino was closed?
• Have you received any response to our refund request from the casino?

Hi Tomas,

Thank you for reviewing my complaint.

To answer your questions:

1. Have you received any response to your self-exclusion request made on March 22nd via email?

Yes. Following my email, I contacted live chat because I had not received a prompt response. During that chat I explained that I had emailed requesting account closure, that I could no longer use the site, and that it was making it impossible for me to self-exclude. The live chat agent confirmed that my request had been marked as high priority and that the email team would process it as soon as possible.

2. What were the circumstances when your account in the casino was closed?

I initially requested that my account be closed on 22 March because I could no longer use the site and wanted to self-exclude. Despite this, I was later able to access the account again after being enticed back by ongoing promotional emails and VIP bonus offers.

At the time, I was vulnerable due to my gambling addiction, and I believe these marketing communications unfairly encouraged me to return to gambling despite my earlier request to close my account and my clear intention to self-exclude.

On 27 May, I emailed and contacted live chat asking how I could still access an account that had previously been closed at my request and why I was still receiving marketing intended to entice me back. Rather than explaining why my account remained accessible, they simply removed me from their marketing list.

The account was ultimately closed at the end of June, but only after I requested that the casino carry out a review of my case. By that stage, I had already regained access to the account and continued gambling after my original closure and self-exclusion request.

3. Have you received any response to our refund request from the casino?

No, I have not received any response from the casino regarding your refund request or actually in relation to anything for a few weeks.

Overall, I believe this demonstrates that my request to close or self-exclude my account was not handled appropriately. Despite making my intentions clear in March, I was able to regain access to the account, continued to receive promotional emails and VIP incentives, and was encouraged back to gambling while I was vulnerable due to my addiction. In my view, this represents a failure to apply appropriate safer gambling measures.

Please let me know if you require any further information or evidence from me.

Kind regards,
