The player from Austria has been accused of breaching bonus terms by placing single bets greater than the allowed ones. We’ve rejected this complaint as unjustified.
Hi. I deposited 30 euros and got a 45 euros bonus. I met the wagering requirements and wanted to pay out 1000 euros. After a few days I got the message that I had broken the rules and that I was playing with a stake over 9 euros. My 1000 euro winnings were simply deleted. I got in contact with the casino and explained several times that this was not a bet but free spins where the bet was 20 cents. And that you can't play the game for 9 euros or 13.96. And that I wouldn't have made a mistake. But she doesn't care at all. What can I do now?
Dear Andrea,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue and understand your frustration. I carefully checked the Bonus Terms on the website, and this is what I found https://www.casinosuperlines.com/en/tnc:
„Placing total bets equal to or greater than 30% of the value of the deposit currently in play is prohibited. Acquiring an in-game Buy Feature to trigger free spins for a buy-in cost equal to or over the 30% max bet limit is considered as irregular play.
When a player receives a bonus, a cashback or redeemed the Comp Points, a maximum bet limit applies. This bet limit shall not be equal or exceeding 30% of the value of the bonus or cashback or Comp Points currently in play. If multiple bonuses are in play, the limit will be calculated against the smallest bonus. This limit also includes acquiring or purchasing an in-game bonus feature."
We would like to see casinos implementing systems that would prevent players from placing higher than allowed bets, but, unfortunately, this is not a standard practice yet. You were not stopped or blocked when you decided to increase your bet, and, as a result, you breached the maximum bet rule.
If you are aware of placing higher bets then the allowed ones, sadly, there is not much we can do to support your case at this time. I would strongly recommend reading all the T&Cs carefully before you start playing to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. Casinos try to design their bonuses to be as attractive as possible, but the rules must always be followed.
Please do not hesitate to forward your game history along with any relevant communication to petronela.k@casino.guru if you feel that you’ve been accused mistakenly, otherwise, I will be forced to reject your complaint. Thank you in advance for your reply and understanding.
Best regards,
Petronela
