Case summary

The player from Italy had repeatedly requested the closure and self-exclusion of his account due to gambling issues, but had received vague responses and offers for additional bonuses instead. He had also sought a refund for the money spent since his closure request was not honored as per the casino's terms and conditions. We reviewed the communication and found that the player had not explicitly stated gambling addiction as the reason for self-exclusion in his requests, which was required for successful account closure. The player was advised to resend a clear self-exclusion request specifying gambling addiction as the reason. Due to the player's lack of further response, the complaint was closed at that time.

Greetings,

I have requested the closure and self-exclusion of my account several times due to gambling problems, as shown in the emails I attach.


All my emails have always been answered vaguely, offering me additional bonuses to keep my account from being closed, even though I explained my gambling problem.


I am also requesting a refund for the money paid from my email requesting immediate closure, which was not accepted as specified in their terms and conditions.

Dear Fixverolex99xxx,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. I checked the Responsible Gambling policy and I found this:

Self-exclusion request: You can contact the Support Service Team via e-mail at support@mafiacasino.com and we will close your account as soon as practicable. It is the player's responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts they may hold and to commit not to open any additional accounts. While our Website will make reasonable efforts to prevent the creation of new accounts, it remains the player's sole responsibility to ensure that no further accounts are opened. Our Website cannot be held responsible for any potential losses incurred on other accounts.

  • Have you clearly informed the casino about your gambling problem?
  • Can you log in to your account now?
  • What specific responses did you receive from the casino regarding your closure requests?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards,

Petra

Good morning,


As per the email I attached, I have explicitly informed the casino several times of both my desire to self-exclude and my gambling problem.

They always responded with phrases encouraging me to stay registered by offering me additional bonuses.

I still have full access to my account.


Greetings.

This is one of the many answers I received.

After refusing, they still didn't close the account.

Dear Fixverolex99,

I have reviewed your email, and unfortunately, I must inform you that it does not explicitly state that you are requesting account deactivation due to gambling addiction.

For this reason, I recommend that you contact the casino once again, following the instructions below, and clearly inform them of your gambling addiction as the reason for your self-exclusion. Please send your request directly to the casino’s Responsible Gambling email address: support@mafiacasino.com

Here is a quick guide for you:

When applying for a self-exclusion, it’s important to clearly state the reason why you want your account to be deactivated and specify the exact time period of the exclusion. Make sure the email subject line is clearly marked and easy to recognize. Casino support teams often receive a high volume of emails daily, so a well-labeled subject line will help ensure your request is noticed and processed more quickly. Additionally, I strongly recommend that you always save a copy of your self-exclusion request—whether it’s a sent email, a chat transcript, or a screenshot. Having valid proof of your request can be extremely helpful in case of future disputes or misunderstandings.

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion due to gambling addiction

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

DOB:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings Mafia Casino,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to exclude immediately from this casino and from receiving any gambling related marketing material for a minimum period of xxx months/years (lifetime).

The reason that preceded my decision is gambling addiction.

I acknowledge that I will not be allowed to rescind my self-exclusion during this period and self-exclusion cannot be lifted before the end of the agreed period."


Please send another email to Mafia Casino and keep me informed about any further developments. Thank you in advance.
