REJECTED

Case summary

5 months ago

The player from Ireland is experiencing issues with bonus-related deposits and funds withdrawal. The player claims that the casino refused to rectify a mistaken bonus deposit and now the player has potential winnings of 191.00 from roulette which the casino is refusing to payout. It turned out that there was only one no-deposit bonus used and one mandatory deposit made before the wagering requirement for the winnings earned from the no-deposit bonus in question was met, and there was no mistaken deposit bonus added at all. Based on the details gathered, it seemed the player is likely not entitled to the disputed winnings. However, the complaint was rejected because the player stopped responding to our messages and questions after we tried to clarify the circumstances and further details.

Just to make sure I understand your situation:

  1. You claimed a no-deposit bonus and won €40. Could you please send me the exact link or name of the no-deposit bonus you claimed?
  2. You made a deposit of €8, so that you'd be able to withdraw the winnings from the no-deposit bonus. However, you also activated a deposit bonus? Have you claimed the bonus when you were making your deposit, or was it given to you automatically? Do I understand correctly that you asked customer support to deactivate your deposit bonus? Have you played any games while the deposit bonus was active?

Hello All,

We have investigated the player account and have found the below:

A Registration bonus was claimed on 2023-09-11to the value of 5 EUR

A Registration Bonus is added to player accounts upon verification of the email address.

This needs to be claimed by email, where the Terms and Conditions are listed.

After the Free Bonus was claimed, a confirmation email was sent to the player with the Terms and Conditions and Game Overview

https://www.boocasino.com/en/tnc/registration-complete-bonus

On 2023-09-11 a deposit of 8 EUR was made by the player as required to be eligible to submit a withdrawal request

In order to be eligible to submit a withdrawal request, the wager balance must be fully played and a deposit must be made to the account.

This is mentioned in the Registration bonus Terms and Conditions above:

You must complete the bonus wagering requirements before being able to request a withdrawal. The wagering requirement of this bonus is 60 times the bonus amount. (Please see "Non-Allowed Games" for list of non-allowed games).

The bonus is given for wagering purposes only, and will be removed from your account balance when you request a withdrawal.

A withdrawal request was submitted the same day for EUR 191.00

The withdrawal request was declined on 2023-09-12 for placing bets larger than 10% of the bonus amount.

Bets were placed to the value of 3.5 EUR, 2 EUR, 4 EUR, and 7.5 EUR

The Registration Bonus Terms and Conditions state the below:

4. Betting more than €4.00 per spin or 10% of the received bonus amount (the smaller of the two) on a slot game

As the bonus claimed was 5 EUR, the bet amount cannot be larger than 0.50 EUR (smaller than 4 EUR)

The Game History for the player has been sent to branislav.b@casino.guru as requested.

All players have access to their Game History in the Transaction History Section of their account.

For security reasons, the Game History can only be requested by the account owner by email.

This cannot be requested via Live Chat and cannot be sent by mail to a player’s residential address.

We have reviewed the Chat History of the player and have found the below:

The player was advised regarding Non Allowed games and the link was provided

The player closed the chat on the agent while checking the account regarding the same request in point 7

The player asked regarding point 7 and the agent advised wager balance must be completed to be eligible to submit a withdrawal request

The player closed the chat as the agent opened the chat

The player was advised the withdrawal request was under review and further updates would be provided via email from the Verifications Team

The player requested account information be sent to his residential address for his solicitor, the Support Agent advised this is not possible and to show the solicitor his account

The player asked regarding the deposit made and the Free Bonus claimed, claimed he made a mistake with the deposit, requested the wager be removed, and requested a refund when Support Agents advised the Wager cannot be removed and must be played.

We would like to refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding chat no 7 with our agent.

The player claimed he deposited with the bonus by accident and requested the wager balance to be removed.

As stated in the Registration Bonus Terms and Conditions:

If you received the bonus and prefer not to play with it, you may contact Customer Support to have the bonus removed. However, you must do this before placing a bet after the bonus was received. By placing a bet after receiving a bonus, you accept the bonus and any applicable conditions.

The Registration Bonus was claimed, and multiple rounds were played before a deposit was made.

The Registration Bonus was a Free Bonus claimed and not a Deposit Bonus

The Wager balance from the free bonus needed to be completed.

If the wager was removed, the winnings would have been removed as well, as the winnings were made from the Free Bonus money claimed.

Therefore our agents were advising the player correctly according to the Terms and Conditions of the Free Bonus claimed and active on the player’s account.

Please let us know if anything further is needed.

Best regards,

Boo Casino Representative

Thank you, Boo Casino team, for your extensive and detailed reply, as well as your email and the data.

I replied to your email, and I requested additional details. I am waiting for your response via email.


Dear anthonyoflanagan72,

The casino claims above were confirmed by the provided data. There was a no-deposit bonus of 5 €. There were indeed winnings accumulated from this 5 €, reaching a balance of 40.65 €. From the moment of having those 40.65 € balance, your version of the following events does not match the provided data, and there are several things against you:

  • The maximum cashout for the bonus used is 100 €, so you would not have been able to withdraw more than this amount anyway
  • There was no deposit bonus activated with the deposit on your account - since there were wagering requirements (60x bonus amount) for the no-deposit bonus used, and those were not met at all before your deposit was made, it means you just continued playing with the initial winnings of 40 € (+ deposit of 8 €), where it was necessary to meet the wagering requirements (approximately another 200 € bets left to meet them); if the casino had removed the wagering requirements from these funds as you requested, that 40 € would have been removed too, and you would have had only your deposit there, which you would not have liked - therefore, it was not a mistake
  • There is a difference between a game that does not contribute to the wagering requirements and a non-allowed or restricted game - in this case, they are described by the casino rules as non-allowed games
  • Basically, your winnings of 40 € were not accumulated legitimately, as you claimed, because they were obtained with bets exceeding the maximum bet amount, and in addition, in "non-allowed games" (mostly at Roulette); the maximum bet amount rule was breached with already the second bet made with the no-deposit bonus, in American Roulette, and this trend continued also after the deposit was made
  • The Game History from your disputed account indicates that you were fully aware of the rules


I asked the casino to provide me with additional details, and I am currently waiting for a response. In the meantime, and based on the above-stated, allow me to please ask you a few more questions to clarify the situation.

Provided that you at least received the same verification email as I did when I registered in the casino a while ago, which contains a highlighted link to the Registration Bonus Ts&Cs where all the rules are clearly stated, and it is impossible to log into a casino account without taking this step, why did you make the deposit of 8 € at all if the wagering requirements were not met? How did you imagine withdrawing your 40 + 8 € if the no-deposit bonus conditions were not met?

Can you please somehow explain what was the reason for making bets of higher amounts than allowed on "non-allowed games", but complying with the maximum bet amount while playing slots?

You mentioned that your deposit was returned to your account - what happened with that 8 €, please?

Based on the information from your last posts, the casino's claims are untrue, but you did not specify it at all. What exactly did the casino describe incorrectly, or what happened differently from what they wrote?

Thank you very much for your email and the additional data, Boo Casino team.


Dear anthonyoflanagan72,

Alright, let's repeat it again.

No one is going anywhere with that information. Basically, it really does not matter if you remember the exact amount. I only used it in my explanation because I saw it in the data provided. It is irrelevant to the case.

The important is that those 40 € did not appear in your account prior to making the deposit from nowhere. You received a registration no-deposit bonus (5 €) with clear rules. By breaking the rules, you managed to accumulate € 40. One of those rules says that you have to wager 60x the bonus amount (5 € x 60 = 300 €) in order to withdraw the winnings from it, which is limited by the same rules to a maximum cashout of 100 €. Another condition says that if you would like to withdraw the winnings from this bonus, you have to make a deposit, which was done. However, at that time, the wagering requirement of 60x the bonus amount was not met, and you had to wager approximately 200 € more to be able to withdraw the winnings. There were no new wagering requirements after making the deposit - the wagering amount you had to meet was the remaining wagering amount that was not met for the initial no-deposit bonus (the 40 € winnings won from it).

But you were even not entitled to the 40 € at all since you breached the maximum bet amount rule and played non-allowed games with the no-deposit bonus in question.

Is this explanation enough for you? Do you understand what happened?

In addition, if the 40 € was accumulated from the no-deposit bonus, you asked the casino to cancel the bonus in question (so to cancel the 40 € because nothing else besides your deposit and this 40 € was there), while the disputed winnings of 191 € were won thanks to these 40 € that you were not entitled to, and as you claimed, your deposit of 8 € was returned, the casino basically fulfilled your original request - canceling the bonus, which means only your deposit of 8 € was left in your account balance. So now I do not understand what is the issue here.

You claimed that you were informed that you have to make a deposit to withdraw the 40 € winnings. How did you get to the information that it is possible without meeting the 60x wagering requirement, please? The casino live chat did not provide you with such information and the Registration bonus rules are clear.

As for your last post - I am afraid you have not answered any of my questions at all.

So, look at my previous post, and provide me with the relevant answers.

Please note if you refuse to cooperate and fail to answer my questions sufficiently, or provide us with the same and irrelevant information, we will not be able to help you in resolving your issue, and I will be forced to think about complaint closure/rejection.

Thank you for understanding. Looking forward to hearing from you.
