The only reason I even joined Stake in the first place was for the slots, since they were basically nonexistent in Switzerland at the time. And yeah, in hindsight, maybe I should’ve never started gambling at all. I’m down around 170K lifetime, which obviously isn’t great, but at least I’ve never taken on debt or credit for it. I’ve got friends my age sitting on 40K in gambling debt from sports betting and casinos, so honestly, I’m in a better spot than most.
Nah man, you're not in a better spot than most. You're here trying to use a technicality to get back money that you lost at an online casino fair and square. I appreciate your honesty, but it seems like you have a serious gambling problem. I would just stop altogether. You should find a more productive hobby, it will be a more fulfilling use of your time on this planet.
Now, looking at the proof I have, don’t you think Roobet—or at least whoever handled that case—would take a second to actually review mine and at least consider talking to me?
No, because they know you have no legal recourse.
This isn’t just for my clarification, but for everyone else to understand why the casino let this screw-up happen. I want an answer as to why it happened and what they’re going to do about it.
It's not a screw-up by Roobet -- its a screw-up by you. Nobody held a gun to your head and forced you to lose thousands of dollars on slots. The sooner you accept responsibility for your own actions, the sooner you can move on with your life.
I have two solid legal grounds in Switzerland to rely on. The second one even applies internationally, and it’s applicable to anyone—person, company, even terrorist groups.
1.Unjustified Enrichment through a Void Contract
-Roobet offered services in Switzerland illegally, due to their lack of the necessary license. I was able to register, deposit, play, win, lose, and withdraw without issue, which should never have been allowed. Every single deposit, withdrawal, and even net wager is subject to be returned in a civil lawsuit
for unjust enrichment. This is clear as day under Swiss law. (Ungerechtfertigte Bereicherung)
2.Violation of the Swiss Administrative Criminal Law
-According to Swiss law, any wagers made at an illegal casino are considered funds linked to criminal activity. This is due to the fact that the casino profited from illegal operations by accepting those wagers. According to Article 70 f. of the Swiss Penal Code (StGB), these illegal wagers are to be
confiscated by the government, not returned to me—but confiscated. So my wagers are illegal and the casino’s financial gains from those wagers are considered illicit income that must be seized.
So like I said, it’s either I get the money back, or none of us do. Simple as that.
At this point, it doesn't matter whether anyone supports me or not. I lose nothing but time, but they lose money and reputation—so honestly, I couldn't care less if you're on my side or not.
