Hello guys, I am creating this complaint because I had and still have a very serious problem with atefia12.com or atefia8.com casino, let's start from the beginning, at the beginning I had deposited about 400-500 euros, I lost it and then I won a lot more money, when I went to make a withdrawal, the casino informed me that identification was required, while normally it was not supposed to be needed, so I uploaded the documents and waited for more than 15 days to make a withdrawal, when with great difficulty they unblocked my account because it had been blocked, I started making withdrawals, but because I have a heavy history of addiction, within a few days I realized that I had won a large amount, as soon as I lost them, I was still waiting for some money, withdrawals which included my own money that I deposited before these withdrawals were made, I sent it to I panicked and emailed atefia casino to close my account due to addiction. They didn't respond. Then I realized that I sent it from another email of mine, but as you can see, my name is clearly written and I have verified it with atefia casino. I'm sending them the follow-up with the subject addiction on the regular email I have at the casino, and stating that I made a mistake and sent it to you from another email but I'm now sending you the follow-up from the regular one. They never responded to this either. A month has passed. On July 19, I sent them this and today my account is still open. Really, for a site with identification and security, it's just a disappointment. Then I lost another huge amount. Calculating the total after my exclusion request, it's about 2 of my salaries, 2 thousand and a bit of euros. I've calculated that because I made some withdrawals, but they've been blocked again. I gave back to the casino what I am entitled to, along with withdrawals and deposits, about 1400 to 1800 euros, also in the live chat there is a history that proves my addictive behavior, and how many times I asked for help and closed again after a long time and they completely ignored me, I gave my phone number so they could call me and I'm still waiting, a few days ago I ate the last 11 euros that I had in the bank and they still let me deposit, really writing them the word addiction and not even answering you makes me feel very disappointed if a solution is not found here I will take stricter measures guys and now they are not answering and have not closed the account, I want a refund to calculate the net loss which must be 1400 to 1800 euros somewhere in between, I have all the receipts I will send you all thank you very much.

Good evening, first of all, let me correct a mistake I made and got confused. I sent the emails on July 29th, not on the 19th.


The first 2 emails are still unanswered almost to this day, about a month later, in their live chat I told them how many times they said we will prioritize you, still nothing, the account is still open, also for exclusion only via email they told me in the live chat you just inform them, I tried everything until I gave them my number to call me, still nothing.

I can confirm that I have passed verification. I will send you the proof I have by e-mail. Thank you very much for the quick response.

Since Attila has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Attila will contact you at the earliest opportunity.


Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Let me add to the story that finally today the Atefia casino closed my account after multiple requests for closure due to addiction, as you will see in the receipts, after about 1 month and 10 days, until yesterday, 8/9, it was open. I have no words, do casinos really not have rules?

I can't understand.

Please see the receipts.

Hello Igor and Masta 93


Having checked our system, we can only locate one email from the player, which relates to a bonus request — there is no record of any email requesting account closure on the registered email address.

Masta could you please send us screenshots of the emails in question with the sender's email address clearly visible, so we can verify and cross-check this on our end?

Additionally, could you confirm whether you received any response to the emails you are referring to?

Thank you for your cooperation.


Kind regards,

Atefia Casino Team

Here are some of our conversations as I mentioned above and an email after July 29th that is different.

The irony of the matter is that in the live chat, the atefia casino told me not to worry, and here is the proof that the account was open until September 8th and was closed on September 9th.

So they probably knew the situation very well.

We must all understand that addiction is a very serious condition, addicted players can find the mental strength in their addiction in a short moment and request exclusion before continuing as if nothing is happening and eating all their money and property. The casino must be responsible for seizing this moment, only the word addiction, addiction is enough for a casino to do its duty, that is, to respond and close the player's account. Mr. representative of the casino atefia, I have found this strength many times as you saw in the receipts, but without result, it was not enough, I did not receive help, thank you very much. I hope this time you will help me.

Dear masta93,

I reviewed the available screenshots. The explicit permanent account-closure request appears to have been sent from your Gmail address, while the visible message from your registered Outlook address does not clearly repeat the closure request. The only one I was able to find was from 20 August.

Please send me the original .eml or .msg file of any email sent from your registered Outlook address that explicitly asked the casino to close or self-exclude your account because of addiction. If no such email exists, please confirm this clearly.

Also, please examine all the evidence and tell me if you really believe that the casino did the right thing, because I look over and over again at the evidence and I can't believe that it did the right thing, sorry for my irritation but we need to examine all the evidence, there are too many and not just one point in isolation to make the correct connection of the evidence. And examine all his behavior towards an addicted player, as the casino violates many terms and then despite the clear requests, the account remains open again.

If I use phrases that are a little strong or a little aggressive, I apologize, I just feel very exhausted. I've been struggling for over a month to close the account on my own without help. Thank you for your understanding and I don't want it to affect our investigation.

Dear masta93,

I would like to ask you to reply only to specific questions or share necessary information.

Writing long messages without added value makes the thread less clear and actually makes my work more difficult.


Please send me the original file of the email you sent from your registered Outlook address on 17 August, in which you explicitly asked for permanent account closure because of your gambling addiction.

Please also confirm whether you deposited or lost any money after sending that email.


Regarding the earlier communications, the email sent from your registered address on 29 July mentioned addiction in the subject and referred to another email, but its body did not clearly ask the casino to close or self-exclude your account. The explicit closure request was sent from a different address, and the available evidence does not yet establish that the casino received it and reliably linked it to your verified account. For these reasons, I cannot currently treat the contacts before 17 August as a sufficiently documented self-exclusion request.

The requested original email will allow me to verify the 17 August request and assess any subsequent losses accurately.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Mr. Igor, you are right, I will try to be more concise. I sent you the e-mail on August 17th, and it is unanswered, but there is no point because there are no losses after that, only a few 11 euros.

Dear masta93,

Thank you for your email.

As I mentioned, you may only be eligible for a refund of some deposits made after 17 August. And even this is not certain.

Since you mentioned that there is no point in pursuing this matter because of the minimum deposit amount, I would like to ask whether you would like us to continue investigating the case or close the complaint.

Thank you.

Mr. Igor, I will disagree, that is, all the information I have means nothing? The entire behavior of the casino towards me that ignored me means nothing. Do you believe that it did the right thing? I feel wronged. I am very confident in my information. I want to continue the case, but as I said, the entire case, all the information, and in greater detail, and the casino to cooperate fully, and that Atefia Casino knows that there are other sites where you can open complaints, and the general behavior of the casino towards me will be made public and will be examined again many times. Also, if we do not end up with a refund for this large amount or in some agreement with Atefia Casino, I will examine the legal path with a specialist who specializes in such remote casinos, and perhaps my information on July 29 and especially their behavior in the conversation and the 1 month and 10 days that caused my account to be closed will be more appreciated there. I am not mentioning it as a threat, just to be sure. that I will exhaust all my available options and take it to the extreme because I have very serious evidence in my possession, thank you.

Dear Atefia Casino,

Could you please check whether you indeed did not receive the player’s request from 17 August, including in your spam folder, etc?

Additionally, could you please provide me with the player’s deposit and withdrawal history from that date onwards?

You can send me an email at igor.p@casino.guru.
