The player from Germany was upset that her casino winnings of 900 euros had been confiscated due to a supposed violation of bonus rules. He claimed he was unaware of these rules and believed the site to be a scam. The player threatened legal action if the issue was not resolved. We had reached out to the casino for clarification and requested evidence of the player's game and withdrawal history. The casino refunded some of the player's deposits but refused to pay the remaining winnings. Despite our efforts, we were unable to convince the casino to pay the player his winnings. We had marked the complaint as 'unresolved', and advised the player to contact the Gaming Curaçao for further assistance.

I was robbed of 900 euros!!!!
Conversations are as follows:
Another question: Why wasn't my cash paid out and where did it go??????????
Information was sent to your email address.
11:20
11:21
I wasn't notified by email!
11:21
Where on earth is my money????
Good day!
Your withdrawal request was refused by customer service.
Reason:
6.17. If you make deposits with bonuses 4 times in a row or more, you risk losing your earnings and only keeping the deposited amount that you made to earn the bonus. To benefit from bonuses and enjoy the winnings, you need to make a deposit (exceeding the average amount of preceding deposits) without bonuses, at least once after using 3 bonuses consecutively.
Your balance now equals the sum of your last deposit plus the remaining sum prior to your last deposit, all amounting to €30.29
In earnest,
Bonanza game.
11:21
11:25
Does that signify I won't receive my 900 euros????
Owing to the infringement of rules, your earnings were nullified.
11:25
Your balance is the sum refunded from your last deposit plus the remaining sum before your last deposit, totalling €30.29
11:25
11:26
This is undeniably insolent and nothing short of a scam! There isn't any indication stating that you can only deposit 4 times with bonuses. Then they offer up to 50 bonus offers. It's only natural to utilize them. This is a deception of customers!! The fact remains that I'm going to sue these scheming people for damages. I'm relentless in dealing with such scammers, they need to be held accountable.

Dear kroemer1312,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Bonanza Game Casino.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation.
- Do I understand correctly you redeemed multiple bonuses, each of which was a deposit bonus?
- Could you please specify which bonus you redeemed in the casino? Share a link or a screenshot of the bonus here, or send the information to my email at tomas@casino.guru
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Tomas

Correct, I took advantage of the bonuses offered. All linked to a deposit from me. Why not? That's what they're there for. This is fraudulent deception from the casino.
I implemented my winnings from the fs and then wanted to pay out. Now it has simply been retained. That's not how it works. I'm suing the store. If I don't get my money.

It was about a bonus with 40 fs in the gsme riot. From which I made a profit of €11.31 and then wagered it, namely exactly €226.20 as can be seen in the screenshot.

And if you need any further proof of their fraud. Now I was blocked too. Which means that my last deposit of €30 was also stolen by the "casino". This "casino" is a real dirty shop!!!!

You are deceiving your customers. Constant bonus offers. It's clear that you use Due. And I also deposited without using any bonuses. Fact is one thing. You are traveling here without a license, so I can get my money back, not just the €900 but all my deposits, through the courts. Now you have the opportunity to pay me my winnings immediately (then I'll close my account with you and that's it) or you'll get mail from the court in the next few days!!! As simple as that!!! So pay out and you will only incur the €900 costs and not the deposits I made plus the costs for the procedure.

You shouldn't hide such things in the terms and conditions, but rather point them out to your customers. This is about fair play. Winning is hard enough and then being deceived in such a deceitful way is highly illegal. Every dish takes something like this apart. That's pretty simple in a nutshell, FRAUD!! Every court sees it that way too.

It's obvious that you're cheating, your scams are being written about and reported on in every forum. It will be easy to sue you. So I'm giving you the last chance to pay me my winnings or it goes the way I say, the matter ends up in court. Here in Germany there are already enough judgments in favor of the players. And then you will have to pay costs that easily exceed 3 times my profit. It will only be cheaper for you to give me my €900 and that would take the matter off the table for me.

Hi kroemer1312,
I chatted with a casino representative on Skype and I'm waiting for a conclusion. I informed them about our position on enforcing this type of rule, about the bad user experience, and that it should be automated and work on the software level.

Thanks first of all. The fact is, if this casino refuses to pay, I will sue for every cent. And I will be right. I hope that is clear to the casino. It will only be more expensive for them if they don't pay out (my winnings of €900).

I got €200. But that's not enough for me. I won 900, not 200. And I certainly deposited far more than 200. That means the matter ends up in court!!!

Hi kroemer1312,
The casino stated that it refunded all your deposits of €590. Can you confirm that? Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will pay you the rest.

So no trace of €590. So there would still be €390 missing if you deduct the €200 I received.

Yes, as I know. Doesn't change the fact that the 390 is still missing, since this payout was my winnings.
I'm not going to argue any further here. Either I get the rest of my money immediately or - and I mean this completely seriously - my legal counsel will take action today and I will demand every cent I paid in plus my winnings.

Hi kroemer1312,
I'm afraid I can't convince the casino to pay you your winnings. 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 reconsider, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Gaming Curaçao (https://casino.guru/licensing-authorities/curacao-license-4) 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
