Playfina Casino - Игрок запрашивает возврат средств.

I am an Australian player who deposited substantial amounts with PlayFinna over an extended period. My primary concern is not only the financial losses incurred, but the operator's conduct towards me despite clear indications of gambling-related harm and multiple requests to close my account and cease marketing communications.

Key concerns include:

• Repeated requests to have my account closed or restricted were not appropriately actioned.

• Requests to be removed from promotional communications were disregarded, with ongoing marketing emails, text messages, bonuses, and incentives continuing to be provided.

• I believe my gambling addiction and vulnerability were leveraged through ongoing promotional activity and retention incentives.

• On 30 April 2026, I issued a formal demand to PlayFinna seeking a refund, account closure, and notice of intended legal action. To date, I have not received a substantive response to that correspondence.

• During a single day, I deposited approximately AUD $30,000. My overall deposits over the course of my play may be significantly higher.

I am seeking an assessment of whether PlayFinna has breached its licensing obligations, responsible gambling obligations, consumer protection requirements, or any applicable Curaçao gaming regulations.

Dear Slotslinger,

Thank you for taking the time to submit your complaint. I sincerely regret to learn about your negative experience. To clarify, I would like to explain the difference between closing an account and self-exclusion:

Closing an account is a straightforward process that typically has minimal consequences. The player retains the ability to reopen their account at any time, and the casino has no obligation to the player. In fact, the casino may attempt to retain the player by offering bonuses or additional special advantages.

On the other hand, self-exclusion due to a gambling problem carries significant implications. When a player successfully requests self-exclusion, the casino commits to not reopening that account, or if they do, it will only occur under specific circumstances (after a designated cooling-off period, and this option is not available for players who struggle with addiction or gambling problems).

Could you please forward the account closure requests you sent to the casino to my email at [email protected]? Do you currently have access to your casino account?

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Kristina
