Hi
I made a deposit of € 250, I got a bonus as always. With this money I made myself up to 3500 € after these wins my account was suddenly saved for no reason and I am not given any information as to why and maybe get an answer every 2 days which is always the same and actually nothing to do with the topic do have. I read through the bonus terms and did not violate anything as usual. I had a problem with the Bondibet Casino when I paid out over € 2500 because they kept asking me for other things or I was specifically verified. It took a month in total. And now, after these wins, my account is suddenly blocked. But the money expires in 7 days and if my account is not reopened by then I lose it. Maybe you can help me. thank you

The casino blocked me after I raised myself to € 3500. But I have not violated any guidelines. I think because I won so much they blocked me.

Hi Daniel,
Please note that we are the support team for our Affiliates and that we don't access to most of your account details, therefore I had to inquire the casino management.
This is the answer they provided me.
"As per our terms and conditions item 2.6.4, The Company reserves the right to cancel the User’s Account for any reason whatsoever, at any time, without notice. Since at the time of closure the balance on the account was still restricted by a wagering requirement, it was regrettably not available for withdrawal. However, because the balance in question originated in a deposit and deposit bonus, we have since refunded the deposit."
We have not been provided with the reasons for that decision.
Certainly it wasn't the fact that you were winning, you won before and you got paid a very good amount on which we would like to congratulate you.
We see that at the time your account was locked you had a bonus balance of €3402.25, but we also noticed that you were yet halfway through your wagering requirement.
We hope you have been able to clarify your doubts.
Warm regards,
Support Team

Yes, but I'm pretty sure I would have met the wagering requirement and therefore I would have had a higher payout and that's why I was blocked for whatever reason. Something like that I can't understand why my account will be blocked without me made and the bonus money is simply gone and will only refund the deposit. A serious casino wouldn't do that. You could just as well open my account with the bonus balance again.

Dear BondiBet Casino,
We consider your statement as an insufficient reason to confiscate all of the player’s winnings and closed his account. It doesn't create a good user experience and players can rightly be afraid that whenever they play with a bonus and they succeed, the casino suddenly closes the account to avoid paying out. You allowed Mrx to play, deposit and withdraw. He also managed to pass through your verification process without any issues. However, when he won a bigger amount, you suddenly closed his account.
Do you have any other reason to confiscate his winnings? We do not consider the provided reason to be fully relevant. Of course, you may close his account, but firstly you are obligated to pay out his winnings, if there weren’t any other breaches of your T&Cs.
Best regards,
Juli

Hi Juli,
We have requested the security team for more information. Is very unlikely they will provide us any.
You stated "Of course, you may close his account, but firstly you are obligated to pay out his winnings,", there was no winnings to pay, therefore the casino refunded the full deposit.
Having a balance in bonus is not winnings, and the wagering requirement was also higher than the bonus balance, so there is no reason for the player to claim more than the refund of the deposit.
There is no lost on the player side, overall the player have a very positive balance with the casino.
If we get satisfying answer from the security team I will update it here.
I do believe that the player has the right to complaint when he have suffer any loss from the casino action, this is definitely not the case.
Hope you understand the case.
Best regards,
Support Team

I had 3500 € in the account with the bonus and more than 50% of the bonus had been fulfilled or certainly more than 50%. And since the casino is afraid that my payout could be higher, they blocked me because otherwise there is no reason and no one is called. The only reason is and was that my payout if I connected the bonus would be very high and it is not very professional.

Dear BondiBet Casino,
It is unfair from the casino's side to block player's account with the active bonus without the reason in case when more than 50% of the bonus was fulfilled. Do you have any other reason to block his account? We do not consider the provided reason to be fully relevant. In case, you will not provide any relevant information, we will be forced to close this complaint us unresolved which may affect casino's rating. Thank you in advance for your reply. I hope you understand.

Hi Mrx2000 and Juli,
Apologies for the late reply.
I have been in contact with the casino regarding this complaint.
I do understand your point of view but you are basing your arguments in assumptions.
Juli, you stated that player had completed more than 50% of the wagering requirement and that is you assuming, we can't confirm that.
Player is assuming that his account was locked due to be winning. Player had winnings before and his account wasn't cancelled or his winnings confiscated, player got fully paid.
Mrx2000 is in no way in prejudice, his deposit was refunded.
The same way that the players are free to choose where to play the casino is free to choose who to provide their service too. We have proven to be a fair casino, we paid when player won, we refund the deposit and the player had a very good experience with the casino and overall he won on the casino.
The security team doesn't have access to players balances, wagering requirements and all of those financial metrics to make their decisions. They also don't disclosure their reasonings to cancel accounts, so we will never know.
We however sympathise with player frustration and disappointment but unfortunately there is nothing we can do to reverse the decision that was taken.
Mrx2000, we wish you all the best of luck for the future and congratulate you on your short but positive journey with our casino.
Warm regards,
Support Team

It's just ridiculous yes I got my down payment back but I was up to 3500 € with the money and they come with such statements. This is sad and you cannot call yourself a fair casino. Already with my first win I had to wait 1 month or longer for the payout and with the second win I am suddenly blocked even though I also had to do the 10 day special verification. Then what was it just to delay the time and then I will be saved. So her statements are just kidding.

Hello,
I am sorry but I am forced to close this complaint as unresolved. I did everything that was possible in this situation, and we are not moving further. The casino cannot share any type of evidence with us. In this case, we cannot further investigate your complaint.
I am very sorry I couldn't help more, but at least closing this complaint as unresolved will negatively influence the casino's rating and other players can read about your experience in our review. I hope you won't come across a problem like this again. The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.
Best regards,
Juli
