I deposited 230 € they gave me 200 € bonus. As soon as I saw the bonus I asked the live casino chat to cancel the bonus 2 times I asked for it. I started playing for about 20 minutes, went up to € 80 and stopped making withdrawals. I did not play from the bonus or euro. They give me nothing. At the moment my account is 514 € I tell them to give me my money 230 € to leave their casino and I can not get anything. Not even my money? I told them I would post it on the internet because it is a scam. Please if you can protect players from such casinos thank you

Dear Elefterios,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and forwarding the relevant communication. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience.

Could you please advise if you have tried to communicate with the casino the option of opting out from any promotional offers prior to start playing? Have you redeemed or obtained any promotional offers from this casino in the past? Could you please forward your bonus history to petronela.k@casino.guru?

Do I understand correctly that you have requested your account to be closed?

Thank you in advance for your reply. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Petronela

"Hello thank you very much for your prompt response. Please I have been a gambler for many years. I have suffered a lot from many casinos. This is the first time I have asked for help. So at the casino this was the first deposit I made.

Thank you very much, Elefterios, for your reply. I have checked the general bonus terms and conditions, and this is what I found https://bongo.gg/en/~/--/bonus-rules:

"Bonus Rules

The bonus amount is displayed under the special bonus account.

In order to fulfil the wagering requirements, both bonus and real money funds can be used, however, please note that real money funds will be used first. While the bonus is active, winnings from all bets are credited to the bonus account."


Do I understand correctly that you have requested the bonus cancellation after placing several bets already?

After a lot of trouble and a threat that I would terminate their casino, my account was permanently closed as I was asking for loads. Unfortunately you can not help me your system will resort to the courts. Thank you very much
