Hello

I deposited money at Cash Win and automatically received a bonus of €50.

I won €4700 and played it down to €2700.

I wanted to withdraw this amount, but then received information that I needed to cancel a bonus worth €50 before proceeding with the withdrawal.

I did this, and tried to withdraw the money. Everything seemed fine, but after waiting 6 days, I was notified that my withdrawal was rejected and all my money was erased because I had not used up the bonus. However, I was instructed to cancel the €50 bonus in order to withdraw €2700.


I have repeatedly sought contact, but each time I was told that I had lost all my winnings by cancelling the bonus, even though I was told to cancel the €50 bonus in order to withdraw €2700.


I want my money and I have no available options, I urgently need help

Hello

I forwarded an email with today's chat history.


I deposited €50 twice and won twice.

I didn't know that the bonus was included. €4800 was the highest level and I played down to €2700.


Then when I paid out I got the message cancel bonus otherwise I can't pay out. I did that and €50 was deducted from the total amount and I was able to pay out.


Today the message withdrawals rejected. And all the money was deleted on the grounds that I had deleted the bonus and thus all the winnings. But when I paid out I was asked to delete the €50 of the bonus in order to pay it out, which I did.

Hello today the following email came from Cashwin:




Hello Norman,


We would like to address the recent cancellation of your withdrawal request as we understand the importance of transparent communication in such matters.


After reviewing your case, our support team forwarded your withdrawal request to our payments department for thorough review. We have determined that the cancellation of your withdrawal is directly related to the previous cancellation of the associated bonus before the wagering requirements have been met, as clearly stated in the detailed email you previously received.


Unfortunately, subject to our Terms and Conditions provided in the above email and accessible on our website, cancellation of bonuses before wagering requirements have been met will result in any associated winnings being void. This policy is implemented to ensure fairness and integrity on our platform for all players.


We recognize that this situation may be disappointing and we sincerely regret any inconvenience caused. We recommend that you read the previously sent email together with our Terms and Conditions to gain a full understanding of the circumstances that led to the cancellation of the withdrawal.


If you have any further questions or require further clarification, please feel free to contact our support team. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.





This is still a false statement for me, so I replied as follows:



Hello,

Furthermore, I do not accept this statement. First of all, I didn't know that there was a bonus at all. Secondly, the bonus would have to be implemented several times over and my money was in REAL MONEY and not bonus money. I was also asked to delete the €50 bonus so that I could withdraw it. So exactly the bonus amount.

At that time the money was always real money and not bonus money. Accordingly, the highest level was €4,800 and to pay out €2,700, the bonus must have been implemented several times over.

Please try to find a solution with me, this whole process does not reflect well on your casino.




I ask Casino Guru to help me here. For me, I am completely in the right here and the site is trying everything not to pay out the money

Thanks for your message.

Did the casino inform you about the bonus being credited to your account immediately after your deposit?

Did you choose the 'no bonus' option when making a deposit in the casino or when making a registration?

I'll await your reply.

Do I understand correctly you attempted to cancel the bonus only after you achieved your win?

Please understand that if you don't cancel the bonus in the beginning, the rules of the bonus apply and you'll only be able to withdraw your winnings after the wagering is complete. I'll await your reply.

I didn't want a bonus and then I deposited €50 and left a total of €100. Then I won €4800 in total so it must have been implemented one way or another. Then I continued playing until the end to €2700 and cashed out. My money was in REAL MONEY and not bonus money.


Then I pay out the first money and the message came: please cancel the active bonus of €50. After that a payout is only possible.


I did that and €50 was deducted from me, after which I was able to pay out.


But then it was later completely deleted

Hello Norman123455,

I'm Michal and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and just so you know, it is quite common that some casinos credit a bonus to players automatically with their deposit for the player's convenience. I understand that not all players want to receive bonuses, that's why the casino has rules like this mentioned in their T&Cs

file

So can you please clarify if you contacted support before you played with the bonus or only after you started to play (even unwillingly) with the bonus?

I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite Cashwin Casino to join the conversation


Dear Cashwin Casino,

Can you please confirm the information as to why the player was advised to cancel the bonus of €50? Am I right in assuming that there was most likely a miscommunication from the support operator?

Dear Casino Guru,


Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We appreciate the opportunity to address the concerns raised by the player regarding their recent experience at our online casino.


Upon thorough investigation of the player's complaint, we would like to clarify the terms and conditions governing bonus cancellation and wagering requirements, as outlined in sections 23.6 and 23.17 of our policies.


Section 23.6 stipulates that players have the right to cancel any bonuses without proceeding to their wagering, without any loss of their deposited funds. However, if a player has already played with bonus funds and decides to cancel the bonus before fulfilling the wagering requirements, all winnings accumulated during the bonus period will also be deducted.


Furthermore, according to section 23.17, if a player requests a withdrawal of their deposit before meeting the requirements for bonus wagering, the amount of the bonus and winnings are void, and the remaining funds, if any, are paid to the player.


In this specific case, it appears that the player played with the bonus funds before opting to cancel the bonus when they wished to withdraw their funds. The pop-up message they received upon attempting to withdraw serves as an automated notification that appears when players have an active bonus. Cancelling the bonus at that moment led to the voiding of all winnings accumulated during the bonus period, as per our terms and conditions.


We acknowledge the player's statement that their balance reached €4700 at a certain point. However, it's important to clarify that only the winnings acquired during the bonus period were confiscated. Any winnings generated after the bonus cancellation could have been withdrawn by the player.


Regrettably, a refund is not possible under these circumstances. Nevertheless, as a gesture of goodwill, we are willing to offer the player the reissue of the initial bonus with a reduced wagering requirement.


We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this matter. Should you require any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.



Best regards,

CashWin Support Team

Unfortunately for me these statements are just wrong.

MY balance was in REAL money and not in bonus money.

Furthermore, the bonus had to be implemented for a long time because the bonus amount was €50, which was deducted even after cancellation. So exactly the amount I got. So the bonus wasn't even touched.


in addition are their bonus services

to implement the amount x35. If I had played with €50 bonus money, which I didn't even want, it should have been implemented at 1750. Since, as they say, I was at €4700, even this must have happened a long time ago.

Thank you all for your responses.


Dear CashWin Team,

In this specific case, it appears that the player played with the bonus funds before opting to cancel the bonus when they wished to withdraw their funds. The pop-up message they received upon attempting to withdraw serves as an automated notification that appears when players have an active bonus. Cancelling the bonus at that moment led to the voiding of all winnings accumulated during the bonus period, as per our terms and conditions.

Has this pop-up message been displayed before or after the player accumulated the winnings? If it was before, the balance at that time should have been reduced or capped, and the remaining funds should have been real money only. As such, the bonus terms should not be applied to this balance anymore.

If the pop-up message has been displayed after the player has accumulated his winnings of €4700, this appears not to be correct, as at that time the wagering requirement for the bonus should have been fulfilled a long time ago. (deposit of €50 x 35 wagering = €1750). Please feel free to correct me if I overlooked something, but the cap on the winnings seems not fair at this point.

Dear Norman123455,

Just to give a quick update, I'm in communication with the CashWin Team even outside of this thread and I am awaiting further evidence that should clarify if the funds in your casino balance you are claiming are real money were really real money. The reason for conducting this investigation is that if the balance still included bonus funds and the stipulated wagering requirements were not fulfilled, the casino team, following its terms 23.6 and 23.17 mentioned earlier, took appropriate action after canceling the bonus. This action involved deducting not only the initial €50 bonus but also any winnings accrued during the bonus period.

Public

Yes, the €50 at the beginning was deducted immediately after the request to cancel. Only after I paid out the rest was all the money deleted after 6 days.


Also, as said above, the €50 would have to have been implemented for a long time since the highest level was €4700.


As I said, when I wanted to pay out I got the message: Bonus active. Clear the €50 bonus. Afterwards you can pay out. I did that and €50 was deducted from my balance.


The bonus was simply added to my deposit.


After I have earned €4,700 and played further down again, this bonus of 50x35 = 1,750 must also be implemented.


Now Cashwin wrote above that I get €50 as a bonus, with simple sales conditions. The €50 is in my player account, but again with 35x wagering. So Cashwin doesn't keep its word here either. These are not easy sales conditions. But I DON’T want the €50 anyway. I want the money I'm entitled to and I'm not satisfied with €50.


Additionally, I think the whole thing is taking far too long now. It's been almost 2 months now and the casino just doesn't respond at all for ages. This shows that something is wrong

Dear Casino Guru,


Thank you for your inquiry regarding the pop-up message displayed to players during withdrawal requests and the application of our bonus terms.


To address your concerns, the pop-up message is indeed displayed automatically by our system when a player attempts to initiate a withdrawal request while having an active bonus. This is a standard feature to inform players of their active bonus status and the potential implications of canceling it.


Regarding the wagering requirements, the total wagering requirement for the bonus in question is €3500, calculated as the sum of the bonus and deposit amount multiplied by 35. (€50 Deposit + €50 Bonus) x 35 WR.


In the case at hand, the player canceled the bonus soon after initiating their gaming session and subsequently requested two withdrawal requests. It's important to note that the player's balance of €4000+ was obtained after the bonus was canceled and not before. Therefore, the voiding of funds targeted only the winnings accrued during the bonus period and not those acquired afterward. As per our terms and conditions, the balance was adjusted accordingly.


We understand the player's disappointment with our offer of reissuance of the bonus. However, we assure you that we acted in accordance with our terms and conditions. While we regret any dissatisfaction, we must adhere to the policies outlined to maintain fairness and consistency for all players.


Should you require any further clarification or assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We value your understanding and cooperation in this matter.


Best regards,

CashWin Support Team

what winnings afterwards 😂😂 you credited me €58 of €4700 after all payouts were canceled😂😂.


3500 must also have been implemented. Unfortunately for me it's just a scam!!! But why 3500? Since when do I have to implement what I have paid myself? So your bonus conditions would be x70. Unfortunately, just ridiculous and insane excuses


The pop-up message also only said that €50 would be deducted and not the €2,700 that was paid out at the end.



I didn't want a bonus

Win €4700 over the course of the game at the highest level. So over several pictures.


You say when you pay out the bonus you have to actively cancel €50 and then I can pay it out, that's what I did. Then you deduct €50.


and then all the money again.


Sorry, but that's not all correct.



I ask Cashwin for a fair solution!!

Thank you, CashWin Team, for providing information and evidence here and in my email.


Dear Norman123455,

I've received all the evidence including your account history and your full gamelog. Although I can understand the user experience with the whole situation is far from ideal, there are a few important factors I have to mention.

First of all, you mentioned you didn't want the bonus and " I always choose no bonus." this is not really correct as you have claimed a bonus before already and this second bonus was not declined by you when depositing. The option "No Bonus" is easily accessible on the deposit screen as shown here:

file

You were aware the bonus was credited to you based on this response from you:

"After my deposit, my account had €100 instead of €50, which surprised me and then I saw that a bonus had been added." and it is visible in the gamelog.

Instead of canceling the bonus straight away (when you didn't want it) you opted to play with the bonus. After you gained the winnings of €2692,2 you submitted and withdrawal and at this time you were asked to cancel the bonus if you wanted to withdraw. This pop up message was displayed to you...

file

I can agree with you that at this point your whole balance should be capped according to the rule 23.6.

23.6. A player may cancel an active bonus at any time from the Profile section or by contacting us via Live Chat or email at support@cashwin.com. By canceling the bonus, the whole amount in the Bonus balance and all winnings accumulated during the bonus period will also be voided.

And only your initial deposit of €50 should be left in your balance. However, due to the high volume of requests during New Year's Eve, the verification team was able to check your account only a few days later and not on the same day. The system didn't automatically cut the balance, and the verification team had to do it manually. This is a standard procedure.

Nevertheless, after reviewing your gameplay, it has been discovered that you placed multiple bets above the maximum bet limit while playing with the bonus. You placed bets in the amount of €40 in some cases, which highly exceeded the limit of €5. These bets were placed before you canceled the bonus, and with this in mind, you were sadly not entitled to any winnings at all. Please understand that once there is a withdrawal request submitted, the casino team checks the gameplay, which takes a bit of time, and it is only at this point that the casino team finds any inconsistencies.

Once the verification team adjusted your balance, you continued to play with your real funds and unfortunately lost them.

I again agree with you that, from a user experience point of view, the whole situation was far from ideal, but considering all the abovementioned factors, I am afraid there is not much that can be done. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else, but I'm afraid I will be forced to reject this complaint.

Well, despite everything, my highest level was €4700 and the bonus condition must have been implemented.


For me, none of this is correct. I would have liked Cashwin to provide a solution that would be ok for everyone.


Furthermore, before the payout, €50 was to be deducted and not €2700.

Dear Norman123455,

I want to ensure there's clarity in my previous message, so I'll try to simplify the explanation.

When a withdrawal request is made, the casino team reviews the gameplay, a process that can take some time. Due to the high volume of requests around New Year's Eve, your account was checked a few days later, which is standard procedure. After this examination, it was found that you placed multiple bets exceeding the €5 maximum limit while using a bonus. These bets, some as high as €40, were made before canceling the bonus. Consequently, you weren't entitled to any winnings, even if they reached €10,000, due to the breach of the casino's terms and conditions regarding maximum bet limits during bonus play.

After this examination and deducting the winnings from the bonus funds, your balance was left with the initial deposit of €50, which unfortunately you subsequently lost during continued gameplay.

While I understand this situation may not have been ideal for you from a user experience perspective, it's essential to note that the casino team followed their rules in handling this matter.

I trust this clarifies the situation sufficiently now. Please let me know if I can assist you with anything else, but I'm afraid I will be forced to reject this complaint.

Dear Norman123455,

Although you are right that one of the bets of €4 in the 20 Burning Hot slot was a winning one and you received €1800 from this bet, however the bonus wagering works by the amount of bets placed, not the winnings received. Until you requested to cancel the bonus, the amount from the wagering requirement you managed to achieve was "only" €917. Even if you could have won €5000 from five additional bets, the full bonus wagering requirement would still not be met. You were playing solely the 20 Burning Hot slot while the bonus was active, and I repeat again that it was at this time that you placed multiple bets exceeding the €5 maximum limit. Due to the breach of the casino's terms and conditions regarding maximum bet limits during bonus play, you would not have been entitled to any winnings anyway. Although I comprehend your determination to explore all avenues to support your argument, sadly, nothing further can be done from our perspective. I understand the whole situation was far from ideal from a user experience perspective, but it's essential to note that the casino team followed their rules in handling this matter.

I think the situation has been adequately clarified, and I see no need to prolong the discussion on this matter. Feel free to inform me if there's anything else I can help you with.
