Case summary

The player from Germany faced issues redeeming 100 free spins on The Dog House due to the game provider, PragmaticPlay, not being approved in Germany. Despite following customer service advice to use various VPNs, he was still unable to play and refused to pay for a paid VPN browser to access these spins. The Complaints Team was unable to investigate further as the player did not respond to their inquiries, leading to the rejection of the complaint.

I received 100 free spins on The Dog House after registering. But whenever I try to play them, I always get a message saying the provider isn't approved in Germany. PragmaticPlay, in other words. I've now tried to play these free spins using various free VPNs, as customer service suggested. It doesn't work. The chat operator then told me I should download a paid VPN browser so I can finally play these free spins. But I don't want to do that, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere beforehand that PragmaticPlay isn't approved in Germany! I'm not going to pay for a browser just for 100 free spins. It can't unlock another slot or provider. What now? I'm asking for help!

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re experiencing. To better understand your situation, may I ask you a few clarifying questions?

  • Did you receive the 100 free spins automatically after registration, or did you enter a code to claim this promotion?
  • Could you please send a link or screenshot of the bonus you activated and played with?
  • Did you register at the casino while using a VPN, which might have made your location appear different from your actual country of residence?
  • Have you asked the casino’s customer support whether an alternative free spins bonus is available for customers from Germany?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Veronika

Hello, thank you for your help!

The free spins are granted automatically, and I signed up without a VPN. So, my location was Germany from the start. It's also not stated anywhere that the free spins aren't playable in Germany. I asked for an alternative slot, but the chat agent said that wasn't possible.

The friendliness and understanding of a new player's problem also leaves a lot to be desired.

All in all, I don't have a positive impression of Cactus Casino right from the start, unfortunately.

Thank you again for your support and best regards
