Sportuna Casino - A conta do jogador foi encerrada sem motivo aparente.

Good morning, on October 12, 2025 I decided to open an account at the Sportuna casino by making a deposit and starting to play both the live casino and mainly sports betting.

On December 9th and 12th, I made two more deposits of €300 each.

However, on December 17th, with approximately €650 in my balance, I realized that I could not log in, and a message appeared (screenshot attached) indicating that my account was under review.

It is worth noting that at no time have I received an email or communication warning me about this situation.

Since that day I have communicated via email with the casino, receiving on December 24th a communication indicating that my account has been closed under articles 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3.

These articles state facts that are, of course, completely and utterly false.

Since December 24th, I have been sending emails requesting information on how to recover the balance in my account, constantly receiving contradictory emails that only generate enormous frustration since there is no intention of returning my money.

It is for all these reasons that I am desperately turning to Casino Guru for help in recovering this money.

Greetings and thanks in advance

Buenos días, el pasado día 12 de octubre de 2025 decidí abrir una cuenta en el casino Sportuna realizando un depósito y comenzando a jugar tanto al casino en vivo como principalmente a apuestas deportivas.

Los días 9 y 12 de diciembre realizo de nuevo dos ingresos de 300€ cada uno.

Sin embargo, el día 17 de diciembre y con aproximadamente 650€ de saldo, me doy cuenta que no puedo iniciar sesión saliendo un mensaje (Adjunto captura) en el que me indican que mi cuenta está en revisión.

Cabe destacar que en ningun momento he recibido un email o comunicación advirtiéndome sobre dicha situación.

Desde ese día me he comunicado vía email con el casino recibiendo el día 24 de diciembre una comunicacion indicándome que mi cuenta ha sido cerrada en virtud de los artículos 9.1, 9.2 y 9.3.

Estos artículos indican unos hechos que por supuesto son total total y absolutamente falso.

Desde el mismo 24 de diciembre llevo enviando emails donde solicito me indiquen la forma de recuperar el saldo que había en mi cuenta, recibiendo constantemente email contradictorios que lo único que me generan es una enorme frustración dado que no hay ninguna intención de abonarme mi dinero.

Es por todo esto que recurro desesperadamente a Casino Guru para que ayude a recuperar dicho dinero.

Saludos y gracias de antemano

Dear Luisgui,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

• Did you pass the verification before you lost access to the account?
• Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?
• Can you provide any details about the message you received when your account was under review?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards

Petra

Good morning Petra, firstly I had not gone through the verification process because the casino had not requested it from me.

Furthermore, I did not accept any kind of welcome bonus or any other type of bonus.

Finally, I am attaching the response I received when I contacted them to ask them to explain what was happening with my account:

We are contacting you to inform you about an important decision related to the status of your account.

After careful consideration and a thorough review of the circumstances of your account, we regret to inform you that your account has been closed due to an administrative decision.

We understand this news may be disappointing, and we want to assure you that this decision was not taken lightly. It is based on our Terms and Conditions, sections 9.3 and 9.4.

Buenos días Petra, en primer lugar no había pasado el proceso de verificación ya que el casino no me lo había solicitado.

Por otra parte, no acepté ningún tipo de bono de bienvenida ni de ningún otro tipo de bono.

Por último, le adjunto la contestación que recibí al comunicarme con ellos para que me explicarán que sucedía con mi cuenta:

Nos comunicamos con usted para informarle sobre una decisión importante relacionada con el estado de su cuenta.

Tras una minuciosa consideración y una revisión exhaustiva de las circunstancias de su cuenta, lamentamos informarle que su cuenta ha sido cerrada debido a una decisión administrativa.

Thank you for your reply and for providing the previous details, Luisgui.

• Could you kindly confirm, to the best of your knowledge, whether you have intentionally or unintentionally utilized any prohibited tools or strategies, or if you have taken advantage of any errors related to systems or bonuses?
• Have you received any further communication from the casino since December 24th? This can include screenshots, emails, or chat records. You can send me all the documents to: petra.h@casino.guru or post your screenshots to the thread.

Thank you again for your cooperation.

Good morning, to the first question I can categorically answer NO, under no circumstances, neither voluntarily nor involuntarily. I have simply been using my account for fun; in fact, I haven't even won any money at the casino, where I'm currently losing money.

It makes no sense.

All communications I have had with the casino will be sent to the email address you provided.

Greetings and many thanks for your work

Buenos días, a la primera pregunta le puedo responder categóricamente NO, en ningún caso ni voluntaria ni involuntariamente. Simplemente he estado usando mi cuenta como diversión, es más ni siquiera he ganado dinero en el casino, en el cual estoy en perdidas.

No tiene ningún sentido.

Todas las comunicaciones que he tenido con el casino van a ser enviadas al correo electrónico que me ha facilitado.

Un saludo y muchas gracias por su labor

Dear Luisgui

Your complaint will now move to the next stage of our process and be handled by your dedicated Resolver Samuel (samuel.s@casino.guru). This is a standard step in our procedure, as the Resolver will take over communication with the casino directly and manage your case from this point onward.

No action is required from you right now. Your Resolver will reach out through this thread if any additional details are needed. You can rest assured that your case is in very capable hands.

I wish you the best of luck and hope your case will be resolved to your satisfaction soon.

Kind regards,

Petra

Dear Luisgui,

It’s nice to e-meet you. My name is Samuel, and I’ll be assisting you with your complaint from now on.

If there are any updates or new details since your last message, please share them with me.

As part of our standard procedure, I’m also inviting a representative from Sportuna Casino to join this conversation. Their input should help us move the case forward more efficiently.

Dear Sportuna Casino,

Please provide detailed information regarding the player’s issue. In particular, we need clarification on the reasons for the account closure and whether any remaining balance is affected.

Thank you for your cooperation and a timely response.

Best regards,

Samuel

Good morning Samuel, the pleasure is all mine. First of all, thank you and the CasinoGuru team for the help you provide to players against casino abuses.

There have been no updates on the case, and of course, the casino hasn't contacted me—something they haven't done at any point, even after closing my account. Throughout the entire process, the casino has only responded to my emails, avoiding any replies when I questioned them about my money.

It's clear the casino has no intention of returning the money it has fraudulently taken. The existence of casinos like this creates a great deal of insecurity among players, who feel completely and utterly unprotected.

Greetings

Buenas días Samuel, el placer es mío. Antes que nada, darte la gracias a ti y al equipo de casinoguru por la ayuda que nos prestáis a los jugadores antes los abusos de los casinos.

No ha habido ninguna actualización sobre el caso ni por supuesto el casino se ha puesto en contacto conmigo, cosas que no ha realizado en ningún momento pese a haber cerrado mi cuenta. En todo el proceso,.el casino se ha limitado a responder los emails que yo le enviaba evitando responder cuando le cuestionaba sobre mi dinero.

Es evidente que el casino no tiene ninguna intención de devolver el dinero que se ha apropiado de forma fraudulenta. Que existan casinos así genera muchísima inseguridad en los jugadores los cuales no sentimos total y absolutamente desprotegidos.

Saludos

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

It's deplorable that they don't even respond or take responsibility. They close your account without warning, for no reason, keep your entire balance, and refuse to answer.

Es lamentable que ni siquiera respondan y den la cara. Te cierran la cuenta sin avisar, sin ningún motivo, se quedan con todo el saldo y se niegan a responder.

Buenas tardes, acabo de recibir un correo electrónico como respuesta a un queja forma enviada ayer en la que reconocen que se apropian de la totalidad del saldo existente en virtud a una cláusulas genéricas. En las que no se especifican ni el motivo ni las pruebas que llevan al cierre de cuenta. Copio el correo q continuación:

Good afternoon, I've researched and found that Sportuna is regulated in the Philippines. I've inquired about the next steps and received an official response from the Philippine regulator, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), stating that Sportuna is NOT licensed or accredited by them .

PAGCOR also reports that the site will be referred to other Philippine authorities for investigation.

Therefore, we are dealing with an illegal casino that is lying about its regulator. I request that Casino Guru radically change its assessment of this casino.

Attached is a screenshot of the regulator's response.

Buenas tardes, he investigado que sportuna tiene su regulador en Filipinas. Les he emcuestonsdondobre los paso a seguir y he recibido respuesta oficial del regulador de Filipinas, la Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), indicando que Sportuna NO está licenciada ni acreditada por ellos.

PAGCOR también informa de que el sitio será remitido a otras autoridades filipinas para su investigación.

Por tanto, nos encontramos ante un casino ilegal que miente sobre su regulador. Solicito a Casino Gurú que cambie radicalmente la valoración que tiene acerca del casino.

Adjunto captura de la respuesta del regulador.





Hello Luisgui,

thank you for your updates and for sharing all the information so far. Before we proceed further, could you clarify where you obtained the information from regarding PAGCOR and Sportuna’s licensing status? It would help to understand the source of this information so that it can be verified properly.

Please also keep me updated on any further responses you receive from the casino or authorities.

Hello all,

We kindly inform you that we will need some time to review the case and we will have updates for you as soon as possible.

Thank you. for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,

Sportuna Team

Hello everyone,

Thank you, Sportuna Casino, for the update. I understand and respect that you need some extra time to review the case, so I will give you the additional time requested.

Luisgui, regarding the information you shared: the first link appears to be an outdated review, and the other two links seem misleading - they mimic official casino addresses but when attempting registration they redirect to different casinos. For safety, I recommend relying exclusively on information available directly on the official Sportuna Casino website.

Since the casino does not appear to be licensed, it is likely that they do not wish to disclose the operator or owner publicly.

Thank you both for your cooperation.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Luisgui,

We are writing to confirm that we have approved the repayment of your winnings in the amount of 650 EUR.

Please note that your account will remain closed in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in our email sent on February 18, 2026.

To facilitate the transfer of your funds, please provide the following bank details by replying to our most recent correspondence:-

• Full Name (please include all names including middle names) : 

• E-mail : 

• Bank Account’s Owner name : 

• IBAN/Account no. : 

• Bank Name : 

• Bank location (Country) :

• SWIFT/BIC :

We look forward to receiving these details at your earliest convenience.

Best regards,  

Sportuna Casino team.

Good evening, I have already sent you the requested documentation.

I expect to receive payment to close the case.

Buenas noches, ya le he enviado la documentación solicitada.

Espero recibir el pago para cerrar el caso

Hello everyone,

Luisgui, thank you for your update and for providing the requested documentation. Please let us know once the funds have arrived, or feel free to close the complaint yourself once the payment is received.

Good afternoon Samuel, I am still waiting to receive the money, which has not yet happened.

I will post any updates here immediately.

Greetings

Buenas tardes Samuel, sigo a la espera de recibir el dinero, cosa que aún no se ha producido.

Cualquier novedad la comentaré por aquí de forma inmediata.

Saludos

Hello Luisgui,

thank you for your update. I understand that you are still waiting for the payment.

Please keep me informed as soon as there is any progress or once the funds are received. I will continue monitoring the situation.

Dear Luisgui,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.

Sportuna sent me an email saying that the payment was going to be sent, however, the next day I received an email saying that it had been cancelled.

I have emailed them, requesting the reason for the cancellation, as it may presumably be an error in the account, and I have sent them a new payment method.

I haven't received a response yet.

Sportuna me mandó un correo diciendo que el pago iba a ser enviado, sin embargo, al día siguiente recibí un correo diciendo que el mismo había sido cancelado.

Les he escrito un correo electrónico, solicitando el motivo de la cancelación, ya que presumiblemente puede ser un error en la cuenta, y les he enviado una nueva forma de pago.

Aún no he recibido respuesta

Hello everyone,

thank you for the update.

Dear Luisgui,

I appreciate you keeping me informed. I understand that the payment was first approved, then cancelled, and that you have already provided a new payment method.

At this point, I kindly ask you to let me know as soon as the casino responds to your email or if you receive any further update regarding the payment.

Dear Sportuna Casino,

could you please clarify why the initial payment was cancelled and confirm whether the newly provided payment details are sufficient to proceed with the transfer? Additionally, please advise on the expected timeframe for completing the payment.

I will continue monitoring the case and look forward to your response so we can move this toward a resolution.

Good afternoon, I have just received in full the money that the casino was holding.

As far as I'm concerned, the case is resolved and can be closed.

I am extremely grateful for the collaboration of Casinoguru and especially Samuel for their patience and invaluable help.

I also thank the Casino for finally returning the full amount of the money that had been withheld.

Greetings to all

Buenas tardes, acabo de recibir de forma integra el dinero que el casino estaba retenido.

Por mi parte, el caso está resuelto y puede ser cerrado.

Agradezco enormemente la colaboración de Casinoguru y en especial de Samuel por la paciencia y la inestimable ayuda que prestáis.

Igualmente agradezco al Casino que finalmente me haya devuelto la integridad del dinero retenido.

Saludos a todos
