Mafia Casino - Player's self-exclusion request is delayed.

Resolved
Our verdict

Case closed

Amount: C$343

Mafia Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Ontario had been attempting to self-exclude from the casino since December 29th but had not received a response to multiple emails sent. She believed that her continued access to the casino was due to the lack of action on her self-exclusion request and sought a refund for the negligence in customer service. The casino eventually closed her account on January 8th and offered a refund of 343 CAD for net losses incurred from January 4th until closure, which she accepted. After providing the requested banking information via secure email, the refund processing was confirmed. The complaint was then marked as resolved following the successful refund payment.

As of Last night , I cant login.


I have attached their email that I finally received.


I have deposited everyday almost since the 29th. The 600 im asking to be refunded is on the low end.


Since they closed the account as of last night I cant screen shot transaction history. It would show my e transfers in my bank though.


I first contacted them to self exclude via email on the 29th of December, there was no response. I initially had tried via the chat option but apparently they cant self exclude through chat.


Following day I contacted the chat and again they kept telling me to be patient.


Jan 3rd I sent another request Via email. ( i have giving you screen shots) asking for this to be done immediately. No response.


I spoke with chat agents basically begging for them to close it or speed this up. They just sais to email.


Yesterday I sent another email, claiming I would take legal action in someway if they do not let me self exclude , due to responsible gaming laws. Thats also where I demanded a refund for my deposits since the 29th.


I then went on the chat again and basically reiterated that this is against responsible gaming laws and the girl said she would escalate it

Which she obviously did because it did finally get closed.


However, Im sure they have records of the many attempts I asked chat to escalate and that nobody was responding to my emails.


Im hopeful now to get atleaat some of the money back from the 29th because I simply wouldnt have been able to gamble I'm they dealt woth this accordingly. I have a gambling problem and waa trying to address it the proper way

Hello Candy54, nice to meet you!

Dear Candy54,


Thank you for your patience while we look into this matter.


We would like to inform you that the relevant team is currently reviewing your case, and we will notify you as soon as an update becomes available.


In the meantime, to help us locate your previous correspondence, could you please provide the reference numbers for the emails you sent on December 29th and January 3rd? While these emails appear in the screenshots you provided, we have been unable to locate them in our system.


These reference numbers are typically generated once an email is submitted. Our records indicate that your communications have primarily been conducted via live chat, with the exception of your email dated January 8th, 2025, upon which your account was closed.


Once we have these reference numbers, we will be able to conduct a more targeted search for your missing messages.


Kind regards,

Mafia Casino Team

Dear Candy54,


Thank you for your patience while we conducted a thorough review of your case.


Having investigated our records, we were unable to locate the specific correspondence relating to the timeframe you referenced. As no reference number was provided to assist in the search, we have applied our standard protocol for self-exclusion claims.


This protocol involves a 24-hour processing window starting from the date your claim was received on January 3, 2026. Consequently, we are prepared to offer a refund of your net losses incurred from January 4, 2026, until the date of account closure. This totals 343 CAD.


Please let us know if you accept this resolution as a final settlement so that we may proceed with the payment.


Best regards,

Mafia Casino Team

I would like to thank both sides for further clarification and information.


Dear Candy54, after checking your screenshots, I can confirm the first time gambling addiction has been mentioned as a reason for the account closure, was on 3rd January 2026. Unfortunately, the message from 29th December 2025 does not state a reason for the account closure, therefore even under Casino Guru's player protection rules, this request is considered a regular account closure.

To elaborate - since many players use "self-exclusion" as a synonym for account closure, we always suggest to openly mention gambling addiction as a reason for this decision. Any account closure request - even if mentioning self-exclusion - is treated as regular closure unless issues with gambling are mentioned.

Due to the above, I would like to ask if the offered sum of 343 CAD does make a total in your deposits made after 4th January 2026 and I would also like to know whether you had any balance on your account at the time of closure. And of course - whether you are satisfied with this outcome or if there are more issues that needs to be resolved first. Thank you.


Dear Mafia Casino, while waiting for the player's response, could you please confirm the account has been closed indefinitely, with no option for reopening and all the marketing communication has ceased? Thank you.

I appreciate the account closure.


But I have yet to receive the 343 offered for deposits since Jan 3.


When I requested closer there was no balance on the account.


So I ask again for them to send me the 343 and we can close this matter

Dear Candy54, refund processing may take a few business days, so please be patient. Ensuring your account has been properly self-excluded had a higher priority in this case.

I would like to thank the Mafia Casino for confirmation of the self-exlusion. I will now swap the timer your way again. Please, let us know once the refund has been processed on your end. Thank you very much.

Dear Candy54, if you do not provide the casino with requested payment information, the refund will not be possible to process. This is to ensure they are sending the money to the correct person. None of the information they require will allow them to access your payment method account, and if you are truly worried, you can always delete the message from your Sent mailbox. Thank you for your understanding.

Do I post that information here?

Dear Candy54, please under no circumstances ever post your personal information online. Not here, not anywhere else. Websites and forums are crawled by malicious people and bots constantly, and if your personal or banking details ends up in the wrong hands, it will cause you a lot of trouble. You may get robbed, or your details could be misused for fraud without you even knowing. When handling your personal data, always assume someone is watching, and only use secure channels of communication. In this case it would be official e-mail address of the casino support team. Please, stay safe.


Dear Mafia Casino, can you confirm whether you have received all the necessary information and are able to process the payment? Thank you.
