My experience with Playfina is anything but positive and I strongly advise anyone not to bet their money here. After over 38 deposits I was far from making any real winnings. The winnings in the games are ridiculously low. For example, the bet is often €0.20, but when you win, the winning amount is usually less than the bet, which means you lose continuously. Game processes and winning images are almost always identical, which raises the suspicion that the game is not fair.

The bonus spins are even more disappointing: even if you manage to activate them (which is extremely rare), the winnings are negligible. With 10 bonus spins, the winnings are usually between €0.17 and €0.37 - rarely more than €1.10, which is simply unreasonable.

It even happens that the game suddenly starts loading and you are thrown out - often just when a bigger win is about to happen. Of course, such a win is not credited and you end up empty-handed again.

The worst experience, however, was customer service. Live chat support is mostly unfriendly, often rude, and seemingly interested in ridiculing legitimate complaints. Even when you provide clear evidence of problems, communication is made difficult or you get standard responses like "We apologize for the inconvenience" or "Your concern has been forwarded to the appropriate manager." But you almost always get no response or evasive and unhelpful answers.

In summary: If you value fair play, good customer service and the chance of real winnings, you should definitely avoid Playfina.
PS I've been waiting for a reply for a while now. It's about completing a level and getting 50 free spins and €50 as a reward, but I never received the money. I was also able to prove that I never received it, strangely enough, through the history of bets, bonuses, etc. that can be viewed in my account. Playfina lists everything. They don't even trust their own website. I've never advised against playing anywhere, but I do it here. Donate money to those in need instead, like I'm doing now.

I could even report a lot more negative things. But since the casino is sure to give a great answer here and, as is always the case, you probably want to have some documents, papers, proof that you can usually never fulfill. This is a way to avoid having to pay out (more to come), I don't want to write everything at once.

Small update. I just asked politely what's new in terms of money. 50€ bonus for reaching the level. Answer: Sorry, but could you please clarify the question?!!
I asked and there was no record of my request, even though I was promised and assured that everything would be noted and documented so that I don't have to explain everything.

My question is, you can look at my account and it doesn't say anywhere that I have reported a problem, money hasn't been credited to me, etc.
Answer! Please clarify the problem.

I'll ask again tomorrow about my question. It's not your fault if nothing is noted. I was told something different and promised something different, but it turns out differently.
Simplified
When can I expect the missing money

Answer!!
Unfortunately, I cannot help you as you have not specified your question or the exact problem.

Same method as with every problem. They always try to wear you down and hope that you will eventually give up.

PS I haven't received any cashback for 3 weeks for no reason at all. When I asked, it's not mandatory. I got an answer after asking about 5-7 times what I meant and what cashback was. There are currently no free spins. I would like to stress, however, that it's not about the fact that I've never won or been able to withdraw any money, even though I've made 36 deposits. It's more about the way you treat me.
When I ask why my deposit has not yet been credited, I am often initially accused of the transaction never having taken place or of having made a mistake. I am asked to provide all the confirmations. As soon as I have provided all the evidence, I am suddenly told that the provider is to blame and the matter will be forwarded. But then no one responds.
When I ask again, I get a standard response: "We apologize for your inconvenience and thank you for your patience." I haven't received any feedback on the €50 for three days, and since yesterday I've only been able to reach the chatbot.
And there is much more. Can prove and prove everything

I can't say anything negative so far, on the contrary I'm very satisfied.
Game selection is good, bonuses are okay, live chat is friendly and helpful, and the top-up of my account was quick with no issues.
In my opinion, the one and payout options are also good, there should be something for everyone, and the amount from which you can pay out is great. You can withdraw from €20.
The payment is very fast was surprised how fast.

  • Game selection, deposit and withdrawal options. Payout duration live chat (support) friendly and helpful
  • As mentioned above, I can only say positive things so far
  • Actually nothing until now.
  • Okay, the tax per spin comes from Germany. But that's not because of the casino

The Ninecasino used to be a very good and reputable casino, unfortunately that was a thing of the past. Lately I've had a lot of problems personally, the games don't run smoothly anymore, jerk or jump. The gameplay repeats itself over and over again. Winnings in very low games almost always become lower as the stakes. Hardly any free spins, bonus spins in the games. Wen but very small profit.
If that wasn't enough, there have also been problems with depositing for a short time. Although the deposit page says processing is instant, it takes several hours. First it says on the page after the deposit can take up to 7 min. I contacted support after 7 minutes and suddenly it said up to 1 hour. After more than an hour, it was suddenly said that I should please upload screenshots of the payment transactions in the chat, after uploading it said I have to be patient, the responsible department was forwarded to them and they got in touch. Ridiculously dubious.
The promos have gotten really bad. All of a sudden, without mentioning it anywhere on the site, let alone on the promo page, deposit page, deposit bonuses were reduced by 90%. In the past, you were allowed to spin the bonus wheel once a day for 7 days when you made a deposit, but today you can only spin it once per deposit. When asked, it was only said that you can ask about news at any time in the chat. Just dubious

Unfortunately I have to give one star.
This casino is a disaster, every day I get at least 2 emails with promos that promise free spins or free money without deposit. So far no promocode has been accepted. Normally I wouldn't care, but I've asked for my account to be deleted several times and my data has never been answered. The emails unsubscribed from advertising will still continue. I receive advertisements and emails from partners of this casino which my virus program warns about. I know very well that my data was passed on because I only sent this e-mail to this casino.

I haven't had a good feeling about this casino for a long time. You can't win anymore.
I'm aware that it's all coincidence, luck, etc. who wins and who doesn't, it should definitely be.
Unfortunately, I no longer believe that in this casino. Game processes are almost always the same. Slots (games) start to jerk at a certain point in time, run jerkily or even jump further when you could win, so that no longer wins. And before these problems occur (in every game and provider) there are connection errors in the game and the game loads for a long time and then no more winnings. And this process always happens 100%. Everyone should decide for themselves whether they play there or not, I would not recommend playing there.
PS What I've described is just my experience, I don't know if this happens to others too.

Hello, Markalc

Thank you for putting this together. We highly appreciate your feedback!
We apologize for answering in English.
We are sorry to hear that you have had not the best experience that we tried to provide you.

In answering your concern, we can only agree that gambling is about luck and fun and there are no guarantees. Yes, the more you play, the more opportunities you have at getting to the big win. However, it is still not guaranteed.
Because the games need a lot of bandwidth and an up-to-date device, making sure you have a good internet connection and the latest software will help you have a better gaming experience.
You can also try the following basic troubleshooting steps:
Clear your browser history, cache, and cookies
Close your browser and start a new browser session
Alternatively, you can try using a different device
Restart your wifi connection or switch to a different wifi connection
Also, we would like to advise you to change your game strategy by trying different types of slots as well as with other providers.
Additionally, would you be so kind to provide us with your email address and full name? We wish to know those games that weren't working for you and make a detailed review of the situation that occurred.
Please, send it to contact@maneki.com or through our live chat support. We are available 24/7.

Sincerely, Maneki Casino
