Mafia Casino - Player’s account is wrongfully reopened.

Resolved
Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: €593

Mafia Casino
Safety Index 8.0 High

Case summary

The player from Germany had requested account closure last October due to gambling addiction and had received confirmation of permanent closure. However, he had been receiving promotional emails and had recently logged back into the account, demanding a return of his deposits totaling €593, as the account should not have been reopened. The casino had initially offered only €300, which the player rejected, insisting on the full refund. After intervention by the Complaints Team and ongoing communication, the player was eventually promised a full refund, provided the required information, and the issue was resolved. The complaint was then marked as resolved.

Last October, due to my gambling addiction, I requested that my account be closed. On October 20th, I received an email from VIP Service confirming that my account had been permanently closed.

Since the beginning of the year, I've been receiving bonus offers and other promotional emails almost daily. Due to my gambling addiction, I logged back into the account and played again. However, the account should have been permanently deleted and should never have been reopened. Therefore, I demand the return of my deposits totaling €593, which I made today. The casino has clearly violated its own guidelines. Legally speaking, the account should never have been reopened and should have been permanently deleted.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Mafia Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so we can better determine how to assist you.

  • Is your account currently accessible to you?
  • Could you please share the communication in which you informed the casino about your gambling issues? Please share the information with timestamps if available, to my email at tomas@casino.guru
  • Have you unsubscribed from the casino's marketing communication?
  • When was the last time the casino allowed you to deposit?
  • Has the casino responded to your refund request already? What did the casino reply?

If your account is currently not blocked, as the next step, I recommend you send a new self-exclusion request via email at support@mafiacasino.com, and at the same time, include me in the copy of the email at tomas@casino.guru

When applying for self-exclusion, clearly state the reason for deactivating your account and specify the period. Additionally, the email subject should be marked and easily recognizable, as the casino support receives many requests per day. If it is marked visibly, you will stand a better chance of having your request granted as soon as possible.

Example:

Email subject: Self-exclusion:

Player’s info:

First name:

Last name:

Date of birth:

Casino login:

Email address:

"Greetings Mafia Casino Support,

I’m writing to inform you that I wish to be immediately excluded from this casino and from receiving any gambling-related marketing material permanently.

The reason for my decision is that I am suffering from gambling problems.

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

In the meantime, check other resources and information in our responsible gambling guide found here: https://casino.guru/responsible-gambling-guide

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

After writing to them twice, I received a reply stating that they had now closed my account. Apparently, my refund request had been forwarded to the responsible department. Deposits totaling €593.75 were made last Thursday.

The account is currently closed.

I forwarded emails from back then and from now to them.

  • Did the casino decide to refund you?
  • Has the refund reached your bank account?
  • Please let me know any news and whether our further intervention is necessary.

Looking forward to your reply.

The casino only offered me €300, half the amount. In my opinion, that's outrageous. It's a clear violation of their guidelines. Therefore, I demand the full amount back and won't settle for half. I informed the casino of this and have been ignored ever since.

Hello benediktmerkel,


I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. As the first order of business, I would also like to invite the Mafia Casino representative to enter the discussion.


Dear casino representative,


could you please check the case and explain the matter to us? Afterwards, would you be able to provide us with his deposit history? At this point, it seems the player's excluded account had been reopened and he should receive a refund of all of his deposits made after the reopening.


Thank you in advance for providing us with your view of the issue. In case there is any additional evidence/information you would like to present us, please send it to martin.l@casino.guru

The email for my account is at the top of the post. Just read it. I was promised the money a week ago and sent all the requested bank details. Since then, no response and every inquiry is ignored. What's going on?
