Vulkan Vegas Casino - Ο λογαριασμός του παίκτη άνοιξε ξανά μετά τον αυτοαποκλεισμό.

Dear Casino Guru Team,

I request that you examine the following matter and treat it as a new complaint.

I had a player account with Vulkan Vegas for a very long time. In August 2024, I explicitly requested via email that the provider permanently and irrevocably block and close my account, as I suffer from gambling addiction.

The text of my email was:

"I hereby wish to permanently and irrevocably block and close my account. The reason is my gambling addiction."

Vulkan Vegas responded that verification according to anti-money laundering guidelines was required before the account could be blocked and asked me to upload the relevant KYC documents.

I have not used the account in question since receiving that email.

However, in March 2025 I was able to open a new account without any problems, even though:

- the same phone number was used

- the same identification documents were submitted for verification.

I have made several deposits and withdrawals through this new account, some of them substantial.

In August 2025, I won approximately 2,500 euros. Shortly afterwards, my account was blocked without warning, on the grounds of a "duplicate account".

Following my complaint to you at the time, the credit balance was paid out to me, and the second account was also closed.

However, the following is problematic:

The original account, which should have been permanently blocked in August 2024 due to my gambling addiction, was subsequently reactivated.

I received welcome offers again, including a credit of 150 euros without a deposit.

This happened after Vulkan Vegas already knew my identity, had previously accused me of having a duplicate account, and had paid out my balance. In my view, this clearly indicates that Vulkan Vegas actively and deliberately encouraged me to gamble again, instead of taking into account my previously declared gambling addiction and the requested permanent self-exclusion.

In order to take advantage of this offer, I contacted support and explained that I was no longer addicted to gambling.

I was then granted access again.

In their complaints, they always explicitly point out that while a player account can be reopened after a period of reflection, this does not apply to players who have disclosed their gambling addiction.

In the following seven weeks, I lost a total of around 6,000 euros.

What is particularly critical is that:

-Deposits of several thousand euros per day were possible,

-no protective measures, limits or re-examinations were implemented,

My previous, explicitly declared gambling addiction and the requested permanent self-exclusion were completely ignored.

In my view, Vulkan Vegas has repeatedly violated fundamental principles of responsible gambling. A provider may not lift a self-exclusion order for gambling addiction once it has been declared.

I therefore ask you to check:

1. Whether Vulkan Vegas acted correctly despite a permanent and irrevocable self-exclusion due to gambling addiction.

2. Whether allowing players to play again, granting bonuses, and permitting extremely high deposits constitutes a violation of player protection obligations.

3. Whether, under these circumstances, a full or partial recovery of the lost funds is possible.

I am resubmitting this complaint because I have been informed that my request for a retrial concerns a new set of facts and therefore a new complaint is required.

Thank you for your time and support.

I am available at any time for questions or additional documentation.

Sehr geehrtes Casino-Guru-Team,

ich bitte Sie, den folgenden Sachverhalt zu prüfen und als neue Beschwerde zu behandeln.

Ich hatte über einen sehr langen Zeitraum ein Spielerkonto bei Vulkan Vegas. Im August 2024 habe ich den Anbieter per E-Mail ausdrücklich darum gebeten, mein Konto dauerhaft und unwiderruflich zu sperren und zu schließen, da ich unter Spielsucht leide.

Der Wortlaut meiner E-Mail lautete:

„Hiermit möchte ich mein Konto dauerhaft und unwiderruflich sperren und dauerhaft schließen. Grund ist meine Spielsucht."

Vulkan Vegas antwortete darauf, dass vor der Sperrung noch eine Verifizierung gemäß der Anti-Geldwäsche-Richtlinien erforderlich sei, und forderte mich auf, entsprechende KYC-Dokumente hochzuladen.

Seit dieser E-Mail habe ich das betreffende Konto nicht mehr genutzt.

Im März 2025 konnte ich jedoch problemlos ein neues Konto eröffnen, obwohl:

- dieselbe Telefonnummer verwendet wurde,

- dieselben Ausweisdokumente zur Verifizierung eingereicht wurden.

Über dieses neue Konto habe ich mehrere Ein- und Auszahlungen vorgenommen, teils in erheblichem Umfang.

Im August 2025 gewann ich ca. 2.500 Euro. Kurz darauf wurde mein Konto ohne Vorwarnung gesperrt, mit der Begründung eines „doppelten Kontos".

Nach meiner damaligen Beschwerde bei Ihnen wurde mir das Guthaben ausgezahlt, das zweite Konto auch geschlossen.

Problematisch ist jedoch Folgendes:

Das ursprüngliche Konto, das bereits im August 2024 aufgrund meiner Spielsucht dauerhaft hätte gesperrt werden müssen, wurde anschließend wieder aktiviert.

Ich erhielt erneut Willkommensangebote, unter anderem eine Gutschrift über 150 Euro ohne Einzahlung.

Dies geschah nachdem Vulkan Vegas meine Identität bereits kannte, mir zuvor ein doppeltes Konto vorgeworfen hatte und mir mein Guthaben ausbezahlt worden war. Aus meiner Sicht spricht dies eindeutig dafür, dass Vulkan Vegas mich aktiv und gezielt erneut zum Spielen animiert hat, anstatt meiner zuvor erklärten Spielsucht und der beantragten dauerhaften Selbstsperre Rechnung zu tragen.

Um dieses Angebot nutzen zu können, kontaktierte ich den Support und erklärte, dass ich nicht mehr spielsüchtig sei.

Daraufhin wurde mir der Zugang erneut ermöglicht.

Sie selbst verweisen immer in Beschwerden ausdrücklich darauf hin, dass ein Spielerkonto zwar nach einer Bedenkzeit wieder eröffnet werden kann, dies jedoch ausdrücklich nicht für Spieler gilt, die ihre Spielsucht offengelegt haben.

In den darauffolgenden sieben Wochen verlor ich insgesamt rund 6.000 Euro.

Besonders kritisch ist, dass:

-Einzahlungen von mehreren Tausend Euro pro Tag möglich waren,

-keinerlei Schutzmaßnahmen, Limits oder erneute Prüfungen vorgenommen wurden,

-meine frühere, ausdrücklich erklärte Spielsucht und die beantragte dauerhafte Selbstsperre vollständig ignoriert wurden.

Aus meiner Sicht hat Vulkan Vegas hier mehrfach gegen grundlegende Prinzipien des verantwortungsvollen Spielens verstoßen. Ein Anbieter darf eine einmal erklärte, dauerhafte Selbstsperre wegen Spielsucht weder aufheben.

Ich bitte Sie daher zu prüfen:

1. Ob Vulkan Vegas korrekt gehandelt hat, obwohl eine dauerhafte und unwiderrufliche Selbstsperre wegen Spielsucht vorlag.

2. Ob das erneute Zulassen des Spielens, das Gewähren von Boni sowie das Ermöglichen extrem hoher Einzahlungen einen Verstoß gegen Spielerschutzpflichten darstellt.

3. Ob unter diesen Umständen eine Rückforderung der verlorenen Gelder ganz oder teilweise möglich ist.

Ich reiche diese Beschwerde neu ein, da mir mitgeteilt wurde, dass mein Antrag auf Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens einen neuen Sachverhalt betrifft und daher eine neue Beschwerde erforderlich ist.

Vielen Dank für Ihre Zeit und Unterstützung.

Für Rückfragen oder zusätzliche Nachweise stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

• What is the exact date when your second account was closed and your original account was reopened?
• Did you contact the casino’s customer support with a request to reopen your original account? If so, please forward all relevant communication between you and the casino regarding this request to [email protected].
• During the 7-week period when your original account was active again, did you inform the casino about your gambling addiction at any point?
• Did you make any withdrawals during this period?
• Is your account still accessible, or has it been closed in the meantime?

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

Best regards

Veronika

Hello Veronika,

My second account was closed on November 6th after the balance had been paid out. Following my complaint, the previously seized profit, which had originally been withheld due to a duplicate account, was paid out.

I then received welcome offers such as "Welcome back," etc., with a credit of €150 without having to deposit any money into my original account. I made my first deposit on November 25th, so the offers were sent out between November 6th and November 25th.

Only after these events did I contact support and inform them that I was no longer addicted to gambling. Therefore, I have no proof of this.

I did not contact the casino during the seven-week period. During this time, I made several withdrawals.

My account is currently blocked because I blocked myself again.

Hallo Veronika,

mein zweites Konto wurde am 06.11. geschlossen, nachdem mir das Guthaben ausgezahlt worden war. Nach meiner Beschwerde wurde der zuvor beschlagnahmte Gewinn, der ursprünglich aufgrund eines Doppelkontos einbehalten worden war, ausgezahlt.

Anschließend erhielt ich Willkommensangebote wie „Willkommen zurück" etc. mit einer Gutschrift von 150 Euro ohne Einzahlung auf das ursprüngliche Konto. Die erste Einzahlung habe ich dann am 25.11. getätigt, sodass die Angebote im Zeitraum zwischen dem 06.11. und dem 25.11. versendet wurden.

Erst nach diesen Ereignissen habe ich den Support kontaktiert und mitgeteilt, dass ich nicht mehr spielsüchtig bin. Daher liegt mir hierfür kein Nachweis vor.

Während des siebenwöchigen Zeitraums habe ich das Casino nicht kontaktiert. In diesem Zeitraum habe ich mehrere Auszahlungen vorgenommen.

Mein Konto ist derzeit gesperrt, da ich mich erneut selbst gesperrt habe.

Hello Sisite21, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej, and I will be assisting you with this case. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. For now I have all the required information from yourself, in case I need more in the future, I will ask directly. :)

I’d like to invite a representative of Vulkan Vegas Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue with self-exclusion and clarify the situation? I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence. Any sensitive information or internal system files can be shared with me directly by e-mail [email protected].

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Dear Sisite21

Thank yo ufor the complaint

Prior to the start of the investigation, may we ask how many accounts you have at Vulkanvegas? Can you name the IDs of your gaming accounts?

Regards

Dear Casino Guru Team,

I still need your help in the following case.

On December 9, 2025, I requested a payment of €2,500.00.

However, according to my bank statement, only €2,146.94 has been received – so €353.06 is missing.

Since then, I have contacted Vulkan Vegas support several times via email and chat. Unfortunately, hardly anything has happened.

It wasn't until January 31, 2026, that I received a so-called receipt, which I was supposed to present to my bank.

On February 4, 2026, I informed Vulkan Vegas that my bank still required the following information:

* Name of account holder

* Sender account number

* Intended use / Reference number

Since then, I have received no further feedback from the casino.

I therefore ask you to investigate this case and support me in clarifying the missing payment.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Liebes Casino Guru Team,

ich benötige noch in folgenden Fall eure Hilfe.

Am 09.12.2025 habe ich eine Auszahlung in Höhe von 2.500,00 € beantragt.

Laut meinem Kontoauszug sind jedoch nur 2.146,94 € bei mir eingegangen – es fehlt also ein Betrag von 353,06 €.

Seitdem habe ich mehrfach den Support von Vulkan Vegas per E-Mail und Chat kontaktiert. Leider ist kaum etwas passiert.

Erst am 31.01.2026 erhielt ich eine sogenannte Quittung, die ich meiner Bank vorlegen sollte.

Am 04.02.2026 habe ich Vulkan Vegas mitgeteilt, dass meine Bank noch folgende Angaben benötigt:

* Name des Kontoinhabers

* Absenderkontonummer

* Verwendungszweck / Referenznummer

Seitdem habe ich keine weitere Rückmeldung vom Casino erhalten.

Ich bitte euch daher, diesen Fall zu prüfen und mich bei der Klärung der fehlenden Auszahlung zu unterstützen.

Vielen Dank im Voraus für eure Hilfe!

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 Matej

In order to investigate the complaint properly, we are kindly asking to extend the timer for another 7 days.

Kind regards

Dear Vulkan Vegas Casino, I can give you extra few days, but I am unable to keep extending the timer indefinitely. If this complaint can be prioritised - since it has been waiting for 2 weeks already - that would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Sisite21, I believe the message from casino states you have withdrawn 3,790 EUR more than you should, therefore there will be no further compensation. For more clarity:

In your original account you have deposited 21,020 EUR and withdrawn 18,860 EUR which leaves you in -2,160 EUR negative balance that should be refunded. However, due to the error, you were able to withdraw additional 5,950 EUR from your secondary account, which should have not happened. When we subtract the 2,160 EUR you are entitled to from the extra withdrawal, you are in surplus of 3,790 EUR over what even Casino Guru would request as a refund amount.

Dear Vulkan Vegas Casino, can you please confirm both accounts now have been permanently closed, with no option for reopening and the player will not be able to re-register using her credentials? Also can you add further details whether I have understood the question of refund correctly, the way I have explained it above? Thank you very much.

Also a friendly reminder for the future: we strongly recommend not to reopen accounts of gambling addicts, no matter what. An addict is not in full possession of their faculties, and would say or confirm anything, just to be able to play again. And as we can see within this complaint, it only leads to further issues, complaints and unnecessary work for support staff.

Gambling addiction is not something that can be "cured" in couple of weeks, and Casino Guru sides with players in majority of cases where account of a known gambling addict has been reopened. Therefore following the simple "once an addict - always an addict" mantra usually proves great for lowering the risk of problems and future complaints.

I will keep this complaint open until the casino confirms definitive closure of the accounts and blacklisting the player credentials for the future. Dear Sisite21, if you have any further issues or questions, please do not hesitate to ask, or send them via e-mail - whichever way is more suitable for you. Thank you.

Dear Matej

"Dear Vulkan Vegas Casino, can you please confirm both accounts now have been permanently closed, with no option for reopening and the player will not be able to re-register using her credentials? Also can you add further details whether I have understood the question of refund correctly, the way I have explained it above? Thank you very much."

We hereby confirm all above is correct.

Both accounts were permanently blocked with no option of unblocking.

Furthermore, Vulkan Vegas writes:

This constitutes a clear violation of the casino's terms and conditions, as the casino does not permit the opening of a new account with new data. Unfortunately, the original (blocked) account could not be identified at this time. The amount paid out to account 67344158 is €5,950.00. This should never have happened.

My comments on this:

As already explained in my first complaint, my account was fully verified by you (with the same ID, address, etc.). There was no deception on my part. This constitutes a clear violation on your part. Not only should the disbursed amount of 5,950.00 have never happened, but also my deposits. Therefore, please take these into account in your calculation (account: 6734415).

Furthermore, you credited me with a welcome bonus of €150.00 in November 2025, even though I was no longer allowed to play and my account was blocked. (Account 18240684)

Furthermore, I am still awaiting feedback regarding an incomplete payment.

Außerdem schreibt Vulkan Vegas:

Dies stellt einen klaren Verstoß gegen die AGB des Casinos dar, da das Casino die Eröffnung eines neuen Kontos mit neuen Daten nicht gestattet. Das ursprüngliche (gesperrte) Konto konnte zu diesem Zeitpunkt leider nicht identifiziert werden. Der auf das Konto 67344158 ausgezahlte Betrag beträgt 5.950,00 EUR. Dies hätte niemals passieren dürfen.

Meine Anmerkungen dazu:

Wie bereits in meine erste Beschwerde erläutert, wurde mein Konto von Ihnen vollständig verifiziert. ( mit gleichen Ausweis, Adresse etc) Keine Täuschung meiner Seits. Dies stellt klaren Verstoß ihre Seits vor . Nicht nur Ausgezahlte Betrag von hohe von 5.950,00 dürfte niemals passieren sondern auch auch meine EINZAHLUNGEN.Daher bitte diese auch bei Ihrem Berechnung berücksichtigen (Konto:6734415)

Außerdem haben Sie mir in November 2025 Willkommens Bonus gutgeschrieben in Hohe von 150,00 Euro , obwohl ich nicht mehr spielen dürfte und mein Konto gesperrt war. (Konto 18240684)

Zu dem erwarte ich immer noch Rückmeldung bezüglich einen nicht vollständig erfolgten Auszahlung .

Dear Vulkan Vegas Casino, can you please confirm whether the secondary account was indeed fully verified via KYC? Thank you.

Dear Sisite21, while waiting for the casino to respond, could you check your bank statements for deposits and withdrawals related to the casino and check whether you are in surplus? If you find out you have deposited more than withdrawn during the time the accounts should have been closed, you can e-mail me the evidence ([email protected]) and I will check it with the casino representative.

Thank you, I accept this proposal.

Danke , ich akzeptiere diesen Vorschlag.

Dear Sisite21

Please kindly make a withdrawal request

Regards

Thank you. I've paid out 1,800. The rest is still missing.

Danke . 1.800 habe ich ausgezahlt. Der Rest fehlt noch.

Dear Sisite21

Please make a withdrawal request

Regards

I would like to thank the Vulkan Vegas Casino for doublke-checking the account details for us. Since the player has agreed to the proposal, I have amended the disputed amount accordingly, to 2,160 EUR.

Dear Sisite21, please let us know once the withdrawal of the remaining 360 EUR has been received on your end, so I can keep track of the progress. Alternatively, if you receive the money and consider the complaint successfully resolved, you can use the "complaint resolved" button. Thank you.

We'd like to inform everyone following this case that the player has marked this complaint as resolved using the dedicated button.
