Mafia Casino - Player’s account closure request is ignored.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: C$6,000

Mafia Casino
Safety Index 8.0 High

Case summary

The player from Newfoundland and Labrador had repeatedly requested the closure of her account due to gambling issues, but Mafia Casino had not complied. Instead, she had received bonus offers or no response at all, which led to financial hardship and distress. She sought a refund of her deposited funds. After reviewing evidence from both the player and the casino, it was determined that the account closure requests were considered regular and not explicitly due to addiction, so no refund mediation was possible. The account was then closed, marked for self-exclusion, and blacklisted to prevent reopening or re-registration. The complaint was rejected due to lack of proof of problematic gambling and the casino's unlicensed status.

Hello Jenn2365, nice to meet you!

My name is Matej, and I will be assisting you with this case. I'll do my best to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you for providing the information I needed. If I require any further details from yourself, I will reach out to you directly.


I’d like to invite a representative of Mafia Casino to join the conversation and participate in the investigation of this case as well. Could you possibly provide additional information regarding the issue with self-exclusion and clarify why the player has been offered bonuses, instead of investigating what the problem" might have been? I would also appreciate if the casino could provide us with any and all relevant evidence. Any sensitive information or internal system files can be shared with me directly by e-mail matej.l@casino.guru.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation in advance.

Thank you for the confirmation of the account closure, Mafia Casino, much appreciated.

Please, let us know of your findings, once the investigation is complete. If you could also confirm the account has been marked as "gambling addict, do not reopen" and the player's credentials have been blacklisted to prevent re-registering, that would be perfect. Thank you very much.

Thank you for the message, Mafia Casino, much appreciated. I have responded already.


Dear Jenn2365, after reviewing the evidence provided by yourself and the casino, I was unable to see any instance of addiction, or problematic gambling being openly stated as a reason for account closure. The single instance where "I think I have a problem" has been mentioned, it it was never expanded upon or recalled later. Instead, looks like account closure was your go-to response after a heavy loss, while request for keeping the account open has followed every major winning.

Due to the above, all the account closure requests are considered to be "regular" and in this case I am unable to mediate any kind of refund on your behalf.

In addition to your account closure, I have asked the casino to proceed with self-exclusion, mark your account as "gambling addict" and ensure the account is not possible to reopen. By now, all the marketing comms should also stop and yo ushould not be able to re-register with the casino either.

Please, let me know if you have any further issues or questions, so I can address them before closing this complaint. Thank you.

I have asked for self exclusion, many many times , I was always ignored , I I would like for mafia casino to look into this again, when asking for self exclusion - casino is obligated to self exclude the player, I’ve asked for confirmation on when it was done, and I have declined offers from bonuses asking just to self exclude me , account only closed as a couple days ago! Can you please provide me in another direction to get some of my losses back , and thanks so much for your time ! Self exclusion should be taken very seriously by casinos, when asked it should be applied , not "do you want a bonus"! I would appreciate again if Mafia casino look at this again and realize my request was ignored until I came to this site ! Also was never asked about , what do I think my problem is, awful! As a gambling attic mafia casino should know if a player has a win they will obviously not be not to close the acct as the money may be confiscated , which they should have done anyways because I did have a big win, I only got my 3 little withdrawals after 8 or 9’days , they waited until I had every cent of my 9500 balance wasted until they actually sent me the funds! I am very very disappointed. Mafia should have closed my account after my first self exclusion email .. no questions asked ! I have also asked for self exclusions before as well, I have it deleted off my emails unfortunately, can MAfia Casio please locate these emails and forward to you!

Best regards

Dear Jenn2365, while technically you do not have to state the reason for self-exclusion, in accordance to our own player protection rules and mediation processes, it is a necessity.

From our experience, players often interchange the self-exclusion with regular accoutn closure, or use self-exclusion just because it sounds more important and they think it will get the account closed faster. Then, such accounts can be reopened again, because if the player has not stated addiction, even such self-exclusion is considered a regular account closure. And with regular account closure - it is always assumed the player is not addicted, therefore even if the account closure takes a long time (or never hapen), player is in full possession of their faculties, and can simply stop depositing and playing. That is why it is extremely important to always state the reason for self-exclusion.

Since you have only requested the account closure, the above applies and I am unable to mediate a refund.

Also, since the Mafia Casino is not licensed, I have no authority to point you towards, for further help.

All I can do is strongly recommend installing free app BetBlocker (https://betblocker.org/) onto your computer and mobile device, to keep you safe from online gambling sites while browsing the internet. It's free, and for maximum protection it is recommended to have a family member or a friend to set up the password in your stead. Also, I would advise to block all the mobile numbers and e-mail addresses that are sending you promotional materials.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, I will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding.

Please remember that you are welcome to contact us again if you run into any problems with this or any other casino in the future. Whether it is a question, a concern or a new issue that needs to be looked into, our team is here and ready to support you.
