this might be a little intrusive on my part but is it possible to share the evidence the OP of that thread shared? I tried clicking the link you shared to see the evidence he provided but I was met with a message that I need to be registered on the forum for three months and has 100 written messages.
I am really curious about which casino the OP of that thread is talking about. Also, if the evidence he shared is sufficient enough, the casino that let him play because he is a big spender needs to be held accountable. the OP also needs to be accountable for his stupidity.
Yeah, I realised about that after I posted the thread here. But if he's made the thread only accessible for certain people on that forum I think I shouldn't publish the evidence here, where everyone can see it.
I have gone over the thread several times and I still don’t get the lawyer part. I don’t understand what he would gain by involving a lawyer to the issue, it’s clear that he has gambling issues and have even requested for self-exclusion in a different casino and now he’s back in a different casino to continue his activities, so what proofs was he speaking about?
And also “Spanish users have their winning withdrawn and their deposits refunded” is still unclear to me - this sounds like a case that would work if his account was blocked after he won a huge bet but that’s not the case here so I don’t understand why he included it in his post.
It's about a casino operating in a country where it had no license to offer gambling products.
The EU laws and some EU country laws are pretty straightforward (I don't know the case of Spain) but major gambling sites like Unibet were ordered in court to pay back sums lost by people in the Netherlands and bet365 lost a few cases also in Belgium.
Germany is trying to find a way to reimburse losses on casinos not licensed in the country and find a mechanism to force the country that the casinos are registered in to cover the cost also, a pain in the ass since we have Malta and Gibraltar but there might be some way to do it.
Anyhow there is a precedent in getting your money back from a casino, not sure what chances this guy has but when we take about half a million it might be worth a shot!
You nailed it.

According to what we read. But we do not know if that is very true or I am not getting it correctly.
I can tell you it's true, and stompix that lives (or has lived) in the EU knows about that as well.
So, being in contact with the authorities for supposedly not being able to register but still being allowed to lose 500k?
If Spain gives a common sense ruling in favor of the casino I think it'll be much more business friendly for casinos because such incidents truly make casinos have to face nonsense regulations.
I do believe in gambling protection but if someone has the means to generate 500k and gamble it away then I don't think they're in dire need of support.
Yeah, that's the point. Most people on the thread are telling him that he should accept his losses because it's his partly or mainly his fault. But I guess he got carried away by a gambling binge and then when it's over and he really assumes he's lost half a million he grabs at any hope to get it back.
Anyway, it is well known that at least some crypto casinos put in their ToS that they do not accept players from x countries and turn a blind eye as long as they are depositing and losing. So they are partly to blame too.
