Case summary

10 months ago

The player from Austria had had their promotional winnings voided due to irregular play. The casino, Bitdreams, had refunded the player's deposits but had initially refused to pay out the winnings. The player had contacted our complaints team, who then engaged with the casino. In response, Bitdreams had cited a specific rule about changing bet amounts as the reason for voiding the winnings. The complaints team had found this rule unusual and had advised the player to contact the casino's regulator. However, Bitdreams later reopened the player's account and processed a €1k withdrawal. The remaining winnings had been lost by the player. The case had been closed as resolved after Bitdreams' statement and the player's lack of further response.

Hello dear team!


I deposited €20 on Bitdreams on March 20th, 2023 with the bonus code BIG300 and received a 300% bonus including 100 free spins. I then actually had a lucky streak, met the wagering requirements relatively quickly and finally applied for a win of €4000 as a payout. Of course I have read the bonus conditions because it has happened to me at other casinos that I have to bet the maximum, e.g. had exceeded and thus my profit was void.

I was asked to submit all the necessary documents for verification, all of which have now been approved.

Then the next day I get an email from Bitdreams that my entire winnings have been confiscated due to "irregular betting behavior"!😳 and my balance has been capped at €100 (this is the sum of my total deposits to date)


18. Unusual Wagering

Winnings will be withdrawn if a player violates one or more of the following conditions:

Players are not allowed to change the bet more than 3 times in one game session.

The bet of the next spins cannot be higher than 10 times the bet of the previous spin within the same game session.


Ost such a rule regarding change of mission allowed? Not being allowed to make more than 3 changes?

I'm pretty sure I didn't violate the second point.


I was blown away because I had never heard this rule in any casino before. I got the same email as an answer to my email and questions, only this time in German. I then wrote to support and asked them to send me the game history, again had to send my deposit as confirmation and am now waiting for this listing.

Had to confirm my credit card again and asked to pay out the €100, then my account was blocked, I couldn't open any more games, but I could still log in. An employee in the chat told me that this restriction was only temporary, I then applied for my payout via PayViaBank, i.e. immediate transfer, I was assured again in the chat that I would have the €100 in my account within a few hours. Now I wanted to log in again and see the processing status, suddenly my account was completely deactivated and I can no longer get in! I wrote to the chat, the answer this time was very short and sweet that it is a decision of the admin and that decision is final, until then the communication was really respectful and nice, but until now I have no reason no answer..


I really think it's disgusting how I'm being treated here. I'm sure I'm not the only one who loses a win because of this "hidden" rule, I actually found it in the terms and conditions as the very last point. In my opinion, this condition is anything but fair and is apparently used to avert large profits.

I really hope, dear team, that you can help me here. And possibly also write these unfair conditions in your rating, so that nobody thinks of this scam anymore.

Thank you very much for your support!

Best regards

Thank you for the really quick reply👍🏼😊


"Thank you for the provided screenshot.

Your request has been forwarded to the data protection officer. We will send the details as soon as possible.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us."

That was the last reply I received so far. To my next mail after I noticed that the account was then completely deactivated, I still have no answer 🙁

As far as I know, I used the welcome bonus on my first deposit, but without any profit or payout.

Is this rule known? I have never had any problems with this at any casino.


Best regards

Dear Casino representative,


Could you please explain to me why changing the bet amount more than three times during a game session is unfair?


I would like to add that we have more than 4000 casinos on our website and I saw a lot of unique rules but something like your rule I never saw before.

Players are not allowed to change the stake more than 3 times on a single playing session;
The stake of the next spins cannot be higher than 10x the value of the previous spin stake within the same playing session;

Unfortunatelly no.

I was waiting if the casino confirms that this rule was the reason for confiscating the winnings (the rule is absurd - I never saw something like this)

Because the casino didn't react, I recommend contacting the casino's regulator.

I will gladly help you to write the message for the regulator.
