Good Evening. I made a deposit at casimba casino 38 Euro and received a 200% bonus. After I made the requirements of the bonus I asked for a withdrawal of 850 euros that I had won. I received a reply to the following mail. I would like to note that I never bet more than 5 Euros and that all I did was buy some bonus free spins worth 10 Euros but with a bet value of 0.10 Euros. I also wonder since my country is not entitled to, bonus deposits how is it possible to be credited to my account? The following is the email I received from casimba casino. Thanks for your time.


Dear Athanasios K ***,


Your account has been found to be in breach of clause 6 of the Promotional Terms associated with the welcome offer:


Clause 6 - The maximum bet allowed while the Welcome Bonus is in play is 5 €. Should You bet higher than this while the Welcome bonus is in play, the Casino reserves the right to confiscate all winnings.


Please also note you have been found in breach of clause 5.12

5.12 - Players from a Restricted Territory (as defined in the Website Terms) and, for the avoidance of doubt, the following countries are not permitted to receive the first deposit bonus (welcome bonus / opening offer) and or any deposit bonuses unless otherwise stated : Armenia, Poland, Greece, Cyprus, Hungary, Croatia, Ukraine, India, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Estonia, Georgia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, and Serbia.


Therefore, your withdrawal has been cancelled, your winnings have been confiscated and your deposit of € 38 has been returned to your gaming account.

Dear Lothloris,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I fully understand how difficult the whole situation must be for you. I carefully checked the Bonus Terms on the website, and this is what I found (https://www.casimba.com/en/promotions/terms):

„ Placing single bets in excess of 20% of the value of the bonus credited to your account until such time as the wagering requirements for that bonus have been met unless otherwise stated. For example, if you received a bonus of €200, then the maximum bet that can be placed is €40. The 20% rule does not apply if the bet size is less than €5; "

Buying in-game features probably caused this situation and the casino evaluated it as breaching the maximum allowed bet. Could you please forward your game history to kristina.s@casino.guru? If there’s any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please forward it too.

Additionally, I would like to know if you activated the bonus in your account yourself, or it was credited to you automatically.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Good Evening . There is no additional correspondence. The bonus in my account was automatically credited after my first deposit. The betting history is 450 pages and I can not find a way to transfer it as a file. Do I have to copy a page?

Thanks for your time

Lothloris, if you aren't able to export your game history, please try asking the casino's support, and they should be able to send it to you. Then, forward it to my email address kristina.s@casino.guru, please. Thank you in advance.

Good evening I have emailed you my chat with the casino about my gambling history. Kathos and a print screen that shows the recall of my profits. The casino told me that they could not send me my history and urged me to print out any information I needed.

Thanks for your time.

We would like to ask Casimba Casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, the complaint will become ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Hi Lothloris,

I tried to get in touch with the casino repeatedly but without success. I’m afraid, there is not much that can be done without cooperation from their side. I will mark the complaint "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you to contact the Malta Gaming Authority (https://www.mga.org.mt/support/online-gaming-support/) and submit a complaint to them. It's a good licensing authority and has better options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with filling the form or how the MGA responded if you can manage to do this on your own (peter.m@casino.guru). I wish I could be of more help. 

Best regards,

Peter
