Online Casinos in general: Reclaiming gambling losses

Hello everyone,

I know it's a sensitive subject, but I'll ask.
I have been gambling-free for 6 months and already have an ongoing case against an operator in Curacao. It will take years anyway, but the chances are not bad.

Now I have losses with other operators too. My lawyer said I would have to represent myself for less than €5,000. Has anyone ever tried that?
How is that supposed to work? Dunning proceedings or similar are only possible in the EU. Maybe someone has experience.

So before you get something collected at a Curacao shop, you're more likely to win the lottery 😅
What kind of lawyer have you got? I hope you've read the small print, there's guaranteed to be a clause in there if you're not successful, where you pay yourself instead of the usual success fee.

It is almost impossible to hire a lawyer on your own, as the chances for Curacao are close to 0.
A reputable lawyer would not accept such a case.
My opinion

You'll find plenty of Malta stalls. For cases under 5k there are also a handful, not easy to find but possible.

So no matter who told you the chances are good, they simply lied to you!

This may still apply to Malta Casinos, where everything is already being tried to avert the lawsuits, partly with the help of the government, but Curacao? The people down there don't give a damn what lawsuits are filed there, not to mention the enforcement, and as has already been said, a 6 in the lottery is more likely

let me quote a large Provider against a casino

" Unfortunately, we are currently unable to offer you a suitable solution for your case against Temple Nile to enforce your claim.

The reason for this is that we have recently received new information about the potential risks of legal action against Temple Nile. There are currently several hundred cases against Temple Nile. We will await the results of these proceedings and then take further proceedings into consideration.

We will contact you again if we see an opportunity for your case.

Thank you for your understanding."


so it's not as easy as people imagine. Of course it would be great to get a few thousand back just like that. But anyone who thinks you can make a quick buck in 2 months is completely lost.
