Good morning,

I would like to file a complaint against the Mafia Casino because I asked several days ago to be banned because of my addiction and I am still not banned and I made a deposit of €600 and another of €1000 today that I would like to recover, so €1600 in total and also be banned so that this does not happen again, thank you.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the problem you're experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.

Am I correct in understanding that you requested to be self-excluded on Saturday, August 16?

Have you received any response from the casino regarding your request? If so, kindly forward it to me, along with your original self-exclusion request, at veronika.f@casino.guru.

Have you passed the full KYC verification, or at least submitted any identity documents to the casino for verification?

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

Best regards

Veronika

Good morning,


Thank you for your quick response.


I did indeed ask to be self-excluded on Saturday, August 16, and I received no response.


I did not make the withdrawal so, no, I did not do the KYC verification of the account.


Please help me recover my deposits for a total of €1600 (proof attached as well as the initial email which is the only one).


Best regards, Nicolas W.

According to the available evidence, you submitted your self-exclusion request on August 16, and the casino closed your account on August 20. Please note that, in most casinos, self-exclusion requests are handled manually by the responsible departments. This process requires some time to ensure requests are handled appropriately and with the necessary attention.

From our perspective, Mafia Casino acted promptly and restricted your account access within a reasonable timeframe of a few working days. Therefore, the casino cannot be held responsible for the deposits you made during the request-processing period.

As a result, you are unfortunately not eligible for a refund of these deposits. Regrettably, I have no choice but to reject your complaint as unjustified.

Best regards

Veronika
