Kwiff Complaints: Could You Claim Compensation for Gambling Harm?

Why This Matters

Have you suffered gambling-related harm—like spiralling losses, anxiety, or addiction—while using Kwiff? It’s worth knowing that the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)  ruled in May 2023 that Kwiff breached rules by showing ads on a Portsmouth FC “Junior Blues” page, clearly aimed at under‑18s. This indicates serious lapses in responsible marketing that could reflect broader neglect.

At GamClaim.org, we help people understand if they have valid claims—for missed responsible gambling protections, unfair marketing or personal injury—stemming from such failures.


What Kwiff Got Wrong
🧠 Responsible Gambling Failures

Despite its claims of “an unwavering commitment to safer gambling”, Kwiff’s breach of ASA rules shows that in practice, their marketing processes are not fool‑proof and have targeted impressionable audiences.

⚠️ Misleading Odds Advertising

In 2018, Kwiff’s televised advert was banned for giving misleading impression of odds and benefits—a troubling sign of lax advertising standards.

These issues expose how dangerous users may have been enticed or misinformed, potentially causing harm.

Could You Claim Compensation?

If you experienced symptoms like:

  • Unchecked, high-stakes betting
  • Significant emotional or psychological distress
  • Use of your data to push addictive promotions

…you might have legal grounds under:

  • Negligence (failure to apply adequate harm prevention)
  • Data protection breaches (unlawful use of your personal data)
  • Misleading advertising (actions that directly influenced your gambling)
What Compensation Could You Be Owed?

You may be eligible for:

  • A refund of your gambling losses caused by harmful practices
  • General damages for psychiatric injury (e.g. anxiety, depression)
  • Special damages for therapy, lost earning or treatment costs
  • Potential data misuse claims, depending on ad profiling

Even modest individual losses may be fully recoverable when claims are grouped, minimizing your legal costs.

Why Complaining to Kwiff Alone Isn’t Enough

Internal complaints commonly lead to generic apologies or account limitations—not legal compensation. The ASA decision confirms systemic issues, but there’s no compensation unless you bring a civil claim. Dispute resolution schemes won’t look at emotional or financial harm. Only legal action can secure redress.
