Case summary

8 months ago

The player from British Columbia had an issue with his winnings being confiscated due to allegedly exceeding the max bet, which he had disputed. Despite the casino's claim, the player had insisted he never bet over one dollar and felt he had been treated unfairly. After a series of exchanges and investigations, the casino had admitted to a misunderstanding and agreed to pay out the maximum allowed winnings from the claimed free spins bonus, totaling 95 CAD. The player had accepted this resolution. The casino had then requested additional documents from the player for verification purposes, which he had provided. After the successful completion of the KYC procedure, the casino had confirmed the payout. The player had confirmed receipt of the payout and expressed his gratitude for the resolution of his complaint.

Hello ...my name is David ****...recently I have been actually depositing from my bank account because for the last couple years Ive been trying to win through bonus spins and free spins thinking thats the way to go. Well after winning a few times and losing a few times because i really didn't read or was interested in the terms and conditions of a bonus. In fact the way I play now is because i thought I won over 800 and some odd dollars from a different casino after i played through the bonus wager and that playthrough took me hours and hours to finish. Well i tried withdrawing from that casino...(which was a couple years ago)...they said I went over the max bet allowed..which at that time it was 2.50 $ max. As angry as I was cause i thought i won...i could not say that I didn't bet over the limit. Since that time I have my own personal rule of any game i play. I never bet over one dollar. So I took the bonus of 100 spins in royal coins 2 of a 5$dep...the wager was 30×...in my bonus spins I balanced out at 59 dollars and change...the rules for any spin in this bonus was the lesser of the 2..either 4.00 $max bet per spin...or 10 percent max of the winnings of those bonus spins. Which would be 5$ and change. So where does it say if my maximum bet of only 1dollar max during my whole time spinning in any game I played during my time in this casino...BOO CASINO...will it say i bet over the max bet per spin...even when I asked the live chat operator how much i am able to cash out said..looks like you did well mr novack just send documents and if there was a problem support will contact you...I got the mail from support saying i went over the maximum bet per spin. Well I lost it...there is no way the maximum spin is over .99 cents. I want everyone to know. I have been cheated out of my winnings from a greedy casino that can't even pay the tiny amout that I DID WIN FAIR AND SQUARE WITH THEIR OWN RULES. They should be ashamed of ripping off the little man that just wants to have fun. How many more advantage takers are out there. BOO CASINO IS NOT A CASINO OF HONESTY.

Hello Tomas....I found the email I received from Boo casino. I have taken screenshots which i can send ...and yes after my spins were complete and had the 59 dollars with change to play with. I understand the max bet per spin would be the lesser of...4.00 dollars..or..10% of the 59 dollars with change.

Excited that my wagerx was 25x or 30 times I played till my playthrough was complete and kept playing after. Here's the promo bonus with the emails.

I'm not sure if all is in the same order that I screenshot. If I did anything wrong screenshooting these could you please tell me so I can attempt to correct it. This was the biggest win I've had at any casino and I don't want to lose it cause i mixed the order of these. I'm still pretty new doing this computer thing. Yhanks Tomas.

Hello Tomas...yes I have requested the record of my spins twice now and yet to receive a response. I can do it again today after I check my gmail for the last email I sent to them of the request if i can find my last request i sent I will definately send that to you. I will write your email down and send if I find it..by the way thank you for your help i dont care how long this takes I know they are wrong and its happened from a different casino when I didnt know better so when they said denied i knew they either just didn't bother checking what my max spin was or they thought maybe he won't fight it and just disappear. Anyways I'll send that right away if i can find it and in the meantime I will send them another and email that one to you.....thanks....Dave

Dear novackdave66,

the email address on the screenshot says '.co' and not '.com'. It's possible you sent an email to an incorrect address earlier and this was later saved by Gmail.

Kindly send it to the correct address and let me know if you receive any response.

Hello all,


Upon conducting a thorough review of the matter at hand, including all relevant communication between the casino and the player, we would like to advise on the following.


It has become apparent to us that the player was misinformed on 2 occasions about his withdrawal request - both times he was advised that the reason for the withdrawal decline is betting more than the maximum allowed for his bonus, where in fact the actual decline reason is betting on a non-allowed game (live casino). This is clearly outlined as non-allowed wagering activity in the casino’s bonus terms. The list of non-allowed games is referenced on our website here: https://www.boocasino.com/en/tnc/non-allowed-games

As the bonus terms and conditions were not followed, the player’s winnings were forfeited.


We hereby would like to extend our sincere apologies to the player for occurred misunderstanding and for any inconvenience caused. We value transparency and clarity in all our interactions with players to uphold fairness and compliance with our terms and conditions.


In conclusion, taking into account that the player placed only 1 irregular bet, which resulted in a loss, we consider paying out the maximum allowed winnings for the claimed free spins bonus. As per the bonus terms and conditions of the casino, the maximum cash-out from free spins bonus is 100 CAD. However, in this case we will deduct player’s original 5 CAD deposit that was returned to his balance after the withdrawal was processed, i.e. 95 CAD in total.


We kindly ask the player to confirm if they accept our proposed resolution.


We look forward to hearing back from all parties involved in this complaint.


Best regards,

BooCasino

That is not the truth...I only play slots and when when i took this bonus on royal coins 2 i was so impressed with that slot machine and the way it was paying out...why would i switch .? I still have never received any correspondence from you except for the email saying i went over the maximum bet per spin. Now..I have politely requested a copy of all my activities during the awesome bonus that I accepted per the free spins on Royal coins 2 which were wagered at 35 or 40 x. I did everything right according to the rules that were provided. I've been playing now for a few years and have learned quite a lot. All through trial and error. I know for a fact...I did not break a single rule for that bonus. I won that 620 dollars FAIR AND SQUARE.

Hello all,


This to let you know that we're in the process of paying the player as agreed, however, our Verification team has requested additional documents from the player before they can proceed - i.e. valid ID document.


We have previously received only the ID front, so the player needs to send a copy of the back side as well or submit copies of another valid ID document (Driving license or Passport).


The player has been informed of this via email on 12/03/2024 and we still await his response.


We kindly ask for his cooperation in order to proceed further.


Best regards,

BooCasino

Thank you Peter and Tomas..It was heartbreaking it came to this. Yes I just received confirmation from my bank and I'm sure I would not have even got what I got weren't it for all your help. Now I screenshoot every bonus I take if I take one at all. You guys were amazing and I know if any of my friends have similar situations I am going to forward them to you..Thank you for having an ear to listen and make it all happen...gratefully Dave.
