Dear readers, I am having a problem with Vulkan.bet regarding a serious failure in the implementation of responsible gambling protections on my account.


I am permanently self-excluded from the casino section of Vulkan.bet (self-exclusion in place for over one year). I therefore only have access to the sportsbook.

On 13 February 2026, after winning approximately €4,209.02 from sports betting, I became concerned about my tendency to chase losses or gamble away winnings impulsively. At around 10:50 GMT I contacted live chat support and explicitly requested a €300 weekly loss limit to protect my balance while waiting for a withdrawal to be processed. My request was made in the clear context of protecting sports betting winnings.


Approximately 30 minutes later, the agent confirmed that the loss limit had been set. No mention was made of any product restriction, no clarification was asked for, and no warning was given that the limit would only apply to casino games. I was left with the reasonable belief that the safeguard was active on my account — the only part I can actually use (sportsbook).


Later that evening I placed several sportsbook bets. After losing the first one, I continued, fully expecting the €300 weekly cap to prevent me from losing everything. Unfortunately, I was able to place multiple bets in quick succession without any restriction being enforced. Within a short time my entire balance of €4,209.02 was gone.

What happened when I raised the issue

When I immediately contacted support to ask why the limit had not stopped me, I was informed — for the first time — that the loss limit had been applied only to the casino section, which I am permanently excluded from and cannot access. In other words, the protection was placed on a product I have zero ability to use, rendering it completely ineffective for the very purpose I requested it.


I was also told that loss limits "only apply to casino" according to the site’s policies. However, when I checked Section 30 of the Terms and Conditions ("Responsible Gaming"), there is no such explicit restriction stated. The section speaks generally about setting personal limits and responsible gambling tools without differentiating between casino and sportsbook.


The following day (and in subsequent conversations), multiple agents acknowledged that an error had occurred. They used phrases such as:

"incorrectly communicated"

"wasn’t clearly communicated"

"apologize for the oversight/misunderstanding"

"we made a mistake"


In the most recent conversation (15 February 2026, attached), operator Agatha explicitly confirmed once again that the limit is "casino only" and described how it calculates : calculates your net loss from the real balance at the moment you set it (e.g., if set at $4,000 with a $300 limit, you can only lose $300 of that balance before being blocked).


This is for me the clearest admission yet that the tool was never capable of protecting sportsbook activity — yet that is precisely what I asked for, and what was confirmed as being set.


The core issue is far simpler and clearly documented:

I requested a loss limit for sportsbook protection (the only product I can access).

Support confirmed it was set — without any qualification.

In reality, they applied it only to casino, a section from which I am permanently self-excluded.

The operator has repeatedly admitted this was a mistake / oversight / incorrect communication.


The recent chat with operator further proves the point: the limit is deliberately restricted to casino only, yet no such restriction was disclosed when I made the request or when they said "the limit has been set". This is a clear case of misleading confirmation followed by negligent misapplication of a responsible gambling tool.



The substance is operator conduct in the area of responsible gambling:

Failure to correctly implement a player-requested protective limit. Misleading confirmation from support. Application of the safeguard to an inaccessible product, defeating its purpose. Repeated admission by the operator that a mistake was made


Responsible gambling tools are platform-wide consumer protection measures. When an operator explicitly confirms that a limit has been applied, it is entirely reasonable for a player to rely on that statement and adjust their behaviour accordingly. In this case, that reliance directly led to losses that the requested tool was meant to prevent.



I have attached the some evidence:

Hey, I read about your situation and I'm sorry to hear how it turned out. I would probably also think that the limit would apply to the section I can use, otherwise it doesn't make any logical sense. I don't really understand how the casino proceeded, so if you try to file a complaint, we'll see if our team will deal with your case. I say this because it concerns sports betting winnings, and we don't deal with sports-related cases. 

However, our team may focus on responsible gambling, but I'm not entirely sure how it will turn out or whether they will accept it. It's quite a complicated case. 

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that it gets resolved, and I believe it will have a fair outcome.

Hey Jaro, thanks a lot for reading through it and for the honest reply. I really appreciate you taking the time 🙂

I totally get that sports betting outcomes and odds disputes are off-limits for you guys, and I’m not trying to challenge any bet results or settlements here. The whole complaint is about responsible gambling failure: I asked for a loss limit to protect my sports winnings, support confirmed it was set, but they applied it to the casino section (which I’ve been permanently self-excluded from for over a year and can’t access at all). That made the safeguard completely useless for the only part of the site I can actually use, and they’ve admitted multiple times it was a mistake / oversight / incorrectly communicated.

So it’s not about the sports bets themselves — it’s about the operator misleading me with the confirmation, failing to apply the requested RG tool correctly, and the resulting unprotected losses of €4,159.

If your team can look at it purely from the responsible gambling and fair treatment angle (misleading support response + negligent implementation of a player-requested protection), I’d be really grateful. I know it’s a bit complicated, but I think the admissions from their side and the fact that the tool was placed on an inaccessible product make it worth at least reviewing and trying. Perhaps the casino rating shouldnt be as high as it is since it cant safely protect the players.

Either way, thanks again for the kind words and for keeping your fingers crossed. Fingers crossed from me too that it gets sorted fairly somehow.

Best regards

And I would also like to add that there is nothing about this in the terms and condition, section 30. No word about loss limit or RG tools only applies to casino section.


None of the operator would tell me where does it say in the terms of condition. Just after dealing with 4-5 different operator, they told me that its only applies to casino section (AFTER I lost it all 🙁)

Yet again my complain got rejected "As previously mentioned, we do not handle individual complaints related to responsible gambling tools. Unfortunately, we do not have a reliable means to independently verify how internal responsible gambling limits are configured, processed, or activated within a specific casino's system."

I submitted screenshot on how the tools take in effect => Contact support => ask what you want => they apply it and confirm it.


Also I have submitted evidence of how loss limit works in this casino, that it take into account my real balance at the moment of applying the limit.I will no try again to submit a complain, but can you guide me or tell me if this is a case to be submitted to the lisence regulator?


Appreciate all the help.

I'm sorry it didn't work out with us. But I see you got an explanation.

I think you could at least try with the authority. I don't know how they will react because I don't know their processes. But it doesn't hurt to try.
