Case summary

Here is my last email to the casino:


Ladies and Gentlemen


Despite being banned from OASIS, I was able to open a player account with you and deposit money on November 21, 2025.

As early as November 22, 2025, I sent an email requesting the closure of my account due to gambling addiction.

You did not comply with this request.

On November 24, 2025, I sent a reminder and follow-up question. Also without success.

I repeatedly asked in the chat when my account would finally be blocked. I was always told that it would take some time.

The worst response I ever received was: "We'll only close the account if you stop logging in." That defeats the purpose of blocking an account due to gambling addiction.

Unfortunately, I don't have any screenshots from the online support. However, I've attached the emails.

Instead of blocking my account, I was immediately accepted as a VIP on November 24th.


Dear Sir or Madam, since registering with you I have lost 23,595 euros.


If I generously allow a grace period of one week until November 29, 2025, there are still 18,785.


I request the immediate suspension and closure of my account. Furthermore, I request a refund of my losses.


I have attached files. They show my losses in Excel format, my emails, your official transaction history, and a WhatsApp message to my VIP account manager.


With kind regards

  • Have you received any responses from the casino via email regarding your self-exclusion requests other than the emails you have attached in your first message?
  • If you did not receive any replies via email, have you tried reaching out to the casino through live chat or other official communication channels?
  • Could you please confirm whether you have passed the KYC verification in this casino?

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Dear Attila,


Thank you in advance for your support. I am sending you the answers to your questions below:


Unfortunately, I haven't received any replies to my emails regarding self-exclusion. Instead, I keep getting offers for bonuses, VIP status, etc.

As described at the beginning, I repeatedly inquired about the status of my account suspension via online chat and received the following responses: I repeatedly asked in the chat when my account would finally be suspended. I was always told that it would take some time, or that it was being forwarded.

The worst answer I ever received was: "We will only close the account if you no longer log in."

I also contacted my VIP manager via WhatsApp. However, I only received new offers. Contrary to other messages, there was no response to my self-exclusion request.

Regarding KYC verification, my account states: "It looks like your account doesn't need to be verified. Have fun playing!" And indeed, payouts were made in the meantime without any verification request.


Kind regards and thank you so much for your help.

Hello jo64075,


I am sorry to hear about your troubles, I will be taking over your complaint from now on. As the first order of business, I would like to ask you to send one more email, precisely mentioning self exclusion and gambling issues to the casino again. In case you receive any communication from the casino's side, please let me know. 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? As the player has issues with gambling, please block his account as soon as possible. Afterwards, would you be able to provide us with his deposit history? According to information at my disposal, the player has been asking the casino to exclude him from gameplay since 22nd of November.


Thank you in advance for closing the account and 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

Dear jo64075,


We are contacting you to provide a formal update on your account, which is currently closed.


We would like to clarify the timeline regarding this closure. Although you expressed a desire to close your account via Live Chat on 22 Nov 2025, Customer Support correctly informed you at that time that a formal request must be sent via email, as required by our Terms and Conditions.


However, based on our review of all available communication, we have no record of an email request being submitted. Consequently, your account remained open until the current date.

Dear casino representative,


I can also confirm I have not received a reference number after sending an email to your email address. Do you believe there is an issue with your email inbox? Alternatively, are there any blocked email domains?


That said, I’d like focus on the responsible gambling aspect of this case. Regardless of whether the request was sent via email or discussed through live chat or WhatsApp, the player repeatedly communicated gambling-related issues and a clear wish to stop playing as early as November 22.


From our perspective, this should have triggered immediate protective measures. Instead, the account remained active, deposits continued, and the player was even accepted as a VIP, which is difficult to reconcile with responsible gambling standards.

Dear Martin,


Following a thorough review of the player's account history and communication logs;


Regarding the communication: Our records show that although the player was directed to our email support team on multiple occasions, we have no record of receiving any emails from the address associated with this account. Furthermore, during several Live Chat interactions, the player never mentioned that they had already sent an email or were having difficulty doing so. Had this been mentioned, it would have prompted an immediate internal investigation into potential delivery issues.


While we are always happy to troubleshoot technical issues, customers must notify us if they are unable to use our standard communication channels. Without such notification, our team had no reason to believe that a request had been made.


Regarding the resolution: Despite the lack of recorded email contact, we acknowledge that the account closure was delayed once the matter was brought to our attention via this forum. As a gesture of goodwill and in line with our commitment to responsible gambling, we have decided to refund all deposits made since 16 January, when this matter was officially escalated to our team.


Kind regards,

MafiaCasino Team

Dear Sir or Madam, this is untrue and I vehemently disagree. I wrote via email from three different email addresses and two different providers. I contacted both standard and VIP support. Since December 17, 2026, I have also been communicating via WhatsApp with a woman named Julia, who then (what a coincidence!) closed her WhatsApp account on January 19, 2026, allegedly due to technical problems, and referred me to Telegram.

This statement is not true: "Even in several live chat conversations, the player never mentioned that he had already sent an email or had any difficulties doing so."

I'll send a WhatsApp message to Martin. Apparently, my emails aren't getting through.

Dear casino representative,


thank you for outlining your position, your continued cooperation is appreciated.


Dear jo64075,


thank you for your continued cooperation. I believe the next best step is to provide me with a screenshot of the Self-exclusion emails you have already forwarded to me. By providing a screenshot from your email application, we will then be able to further prove their authenticity. Afterwards, I will forward them to the casino, along with the emails themselves again.


I can also confirm I have received the whatsapp chats you've mentioned. I however believe that it would be best if the screenshots - especially the earliest one - included the exact date and name of the recipient. This will strengthen their validity as relevant evidence.

Dear Jo64075,


Thank you for your patience as we conducted a technical analysis of the evidence provided.


Upon a detailed review of the screenshots of your sent folder (STRATO webmail), we observed an exclamation mark symbol (!) next to the emails in question. According to the technical specifications of your email service provider, this symbol indicates that the messages were not successfully delivered due to technical issues on the sender's end.


As these emails never reached our servers, we remained entirely unaware of your intent to close the account until the forum complaint reached us on 16 January. Furthermore, since no follow-up was made regarding the lack of a response to those failed delivery attempts, we had no way of knowing a request had been initiated.


In the interest of a fair and reasonable resolution, we are prepared to offer a refund of losses incurred from 16 January onwards—the date we were officially made aware of the situation.


Please let us know if you accept this proposal so we can proceed with the necessary adjustments.


Kind regards,

Mafia Casino Team

Dear casino representative, I do not agree with this.

Your statement, "According to your email provider's technical specifications, this symbol means that the messages could not be delivered due to technical problems on the sender's end," is incorrect. The exclamation mark means that the email was sent with "high" importance (as is standard practice in all email programs). In the event of a delivery failure, I would have received a separate email from Strato confirming the undeliverability.

Furthermore, the chat logs via WhatsApp also prove that the casino was aware of the situation.

The 16th of January as a deadline is unacceptable.


@Martin: Did you also forward the chat logs? And your email to support didn't arrive either.


To find a quick solution, I would agree to a deadline in December. That would be a compromise.

Dear casino representative,


after further investigation, we have confirmed that the exclamation mark shown in the player’s STRATO sent folder does not indicate a failed or undelivered email. As we presumed at first, it simply marks the message as sent with high importance, which is a standard email function. In case of a delivery failure, STRATO would generate a separate bounce-back notification, which is not present here.


Based on this, we continue to believe the player's self-exclusion requests are valid.
