Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: C$5,553

Mafia Casino
Safety Index 8.0 High

Case summary

The player from Quebec requested assistance after MafiaCasino had ignored his self-exclusion request, which led to losses of 5,553 CAD. Despite confirming his desire for account closure, he was allowed to continue gambling, which he believed was a serious failure in responsible gambling practices. The complaint was rejected due to insufficient effort from the player to follow up on the self-exclusion request, as no further contact was made with the casino after the initial email and the player continued gambling. The account was eventually closed by the casino on May 17th, 2026. We advised the player to use tools like BetBlocker and to block promotional communications to prevent future issues.

MafiaCasino ignored my self-exclusion request and I suffered losses of 5,553 CAD


Dear Casino Guru Team,


I would like to file a complaint against MafiaCasino.On March 25, 2026, I sent a clear request to close my account because I needed to stop gambling and could not control it. The casino replied on March 26, 2026 and asked me whether I preferred a temporary break or a full closure. I then confirmed that I wanted to continue with closure. Despite this, my account was not closed as requested. Because my request was not properly applied, I was able to continue gambling and suffered total losses of 5,553 CAD. In my view, this is a serious failure in responsible gambling handling, since a player who clearly asks for closure due to gambling problems should not remain active on the platform. I have the relevant documentation, including:my original self-exclusion request;the casino’s response;my confirmation that I wanted the closure to proceed.


I kindly ask Casino Guru to review my case and assist me in seeking reimbursement for the losses that occurred after my confirmed closure request. I would appreciate it if this could be considered seriously and, if possible, resolved directly with the casino before moving to the next step.Thank you for your support.


Best regards

Dear goldguy,

Thank you for taking the time to submit your complaint. I sincerely regret to learn about your negative experience. I reviewed the Responsible Gambling policy, and I found this:

Self-exclusion request: You can contact the Support Service Team via e-mail at support@mafiacasino.com and we will close your account as soon as practicable. It is the player's responsibility to notify our Website of any other accounts they may hold and to commit not to open any additional accounts. While our Website will make reasonable efforts to prevent the creation of new accounts, it remains the player's sole responsibility to ensure that no further accounts are opened. Our Website cannot be held responsible for any potential losses incurred on other accounts.

Could you please forward the account closure requests you sent to the casino to my email at kristina.s@casino.guru? Also, do you currently have access to your casino account?

Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Best regards,

Kristina

Dear all,


We appreciate the patience.


We have made a detailed investigation of the case and as we can see, the customer never clearly expressed any RG reason issue while contacting us, therefore we must deny any refund claims that the customer has with T&C:


6.6.2 No refund can be performed after the deposit in question (or the associated bonus) has been used to place a bet.


We can confirm that the account is already closed after customer's statement on this thread and that all communications are stopped.


If there is anything else regarding the case please do not hesitate to contact us.


Best Regards,

Team MafiaCasino

Thank you for the final statement, dear Mafia Casino.


Dear goldguy, after reading through the complaint thread and reviewing the evidence once more, as well as consulting our Fair Gambling Codex and several of my colleagues, unfortunately I have to reject this complaint.

Reason behind this decision is insufficient effort to self-exclude on your end. I appreciate your message informing the casino about gambling addiction, and confirming the account closure on the same day. In the following days, as your account stayed open, no more actions were taken. No more e-mails were sent, you have not inquired with the support or live chat about the status of your original request, not even asking why the account is still open, and instead continued engaging in gameplay.

Due to the aforementioned reasons, I will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that I was not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as we always aim to help players resolve their issues whenever possible.

Before you go, I would 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.

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.
