Case summary

4 months ago

The Australian player had used a birthday bonus to win $8000 at an online casino. She insisted she had met all wagering requirements. However, the casino claimed she had violated the rules by placing large bets on live games and, hence, had refused to pay out the winnings. The player argued that her bets on roulette, which had exceeded the allowed maximum, did not count towards the wagering requirements, as confirmed by the casino's live help desk. Despite this, her winnings were confiscated. We had attempted to resolve the issue by contacting the casino but, at first, received no response. Consequently, the complaint was marked as 'unresolved'. Later the casino contacted us with an explanation and offered the player to check their game history. The player stopped responding giving us no other option but to reject the complaint.

Hi I recieved a birthday bonus of $80 and I had a big win of $10000 I had to wager $3200 which I did and then had $8000 left which I have tried to withdraw, but now they are saying I placed a bat over $8 which breached there rules !! This was told to me after my win and my win was off a $2 bet , on this casino and all others I've played on if you can't place the bet due to bonus restrictions then the bet automatically cancels so you can't place it so when I asked about the live betting and why it did not come of my wager they told me it does not count towards wager so I was fine with that and went back to valid games ... now they are saying because I placed a bet on the live games over $8 I breached there rules and they are not paying me my $8000 I feel sick this is ridiculous I have spent thousands on this site and I finally have a decent win and they won't pay it!!!

Dear Samhad,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your issue with Bizzo Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to make sure I understand your situation completely.

Could you please specify how many times you bet more than it's the maximum allowed bet of $8?

Could you kindly specify what types of games did you play?

Did you bet more than $8 on the games that are allowed to play with the bonus, i.e. slots?

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

Hi yes I bet over this amount on roulette but didn't realise it was a breach as the bet wasnt automatically cancelled ( like it does on other gaming apps ) then I noticed that the amounts I had bet had not come off my wager amount so I asked the online chat help desk and they said live games don't count towards wagering , so I went straight back onto the slots to finish wagering the required $3200 after I had completed the wagering I went to withdraw $8000 out of the $10000 I had remaining and then they informed me there was a breach!!!! I didn't even win anything of the so called higher bets and I didn't know it was not allowed as the bet was accepted. I am so devastated 💔

Before we proceed with your case, do I understand correctly that the bets of $8 did NOT count towards the wagering requirements, but your winnings were confiscated anyway?

Could you please forward any relevant communication between you and the casino regarding this issue to veronika.l@casino.guru? Thank you.

Yes that that is correct all of the bets over $8 were on roulette and they did not come off my wagering, I am 100 % sure of this as I asked the live help desk at bizzo at the time of my bets and they advised me that live games do not count for wagering, and yes they still confiscated all of my winnings totalling $8000.

Hi Samhad,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Antillephone Gaming Authority (https://casino.guru/licensing-authorities/curacao-license-3) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (peter.m@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
