Hi,
I took a 100% match bonus from this casino that was offered to me via email. I made a deposit of $45 and ended up winning $1407. I successfully completed the wagering requirements and tried to withdrawal but it was rejected. They said the bonus comes with a max win limit of 5x deposit so I'm only allowed to withdrawal $226. Nowhere in the email does it tell you there is a max win limit. I always read the bonus terms and conditions before taking a bonus and I did not find this term anywhere in their T&C. If I had been properly informed of this term I would have never taken their bonus. I am well aware of this 5x deposit max win that some casino imposes on their bonuses and I always stay away from them.
Do I have a case here if they this max win term have not been clearly stated in either their T&C or their marketing material?
For your reference. I've attached a screenshot of the email I received with the bonus offer. Also a copy of their bonus T&C extracted from their website. I can't find this 5x max win limit anywhere in this email or their website. If it does exist, then it's very well hidden.
Thanks,
Ninja8
Dear Ninja8,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and forwarding the relevant communication:
I’m sorry to hear about your problem.
I have checked the general bonus terms and conditions and this is what I found (here):
I would like to emphasize, that according to our Fair Gambling Codex, we consider imposed win limit to be unfair and predatory, only when it’s applied to a real money game, however, we accept bonus T&Cs that restrict the maximum cash out from a bonus play.
Nevertheless, in your case, a different restriction was applied and you haven't been informed properly about it beforehand.
Do I understand correctly that your winnings have been accumulated from a loyalty bonus? Have you received any bonus from this casino in the past?
Thank you in advance for your reply and I hope we will be able to help you as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Petronela
Hi Petronela,
Thanks for your prompt response and reviewing my case.
This was not a loyalty bonus. This was a regular weekly deposit match bonus of 100% available every Friday to exisiting players. I receive an email offering me this bonus every week and I've taken it a few times but this is the first time I've won using this bonus.
Yes I have received bonuses from this casino in the past, including their welcome bonuses and other regular weekly bonuses. I succesfully cashed out around $600 in February 2023 from another one of their weekly bonuses, in which I deposited around $50. I received my full winnings so it didn't seem like the max win limit was applied here.
Please see attached screenshot of the email I received notifying that my withdrawal was rejected. They stated very specifically that the bonus is subjected to a 5x deposit max win, but I can't find this specific term anywhere on the website.
Thank you very much, Ninja8, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Michal (michal.k@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.
Hello Ninja8,
I'm Michal and I have taken over this complaint. I have reviewed this case. Can you please forward me the bonus email as you have received it? I have not found the Friday reload bonus under the promotion tab in the casino, so I can't confirm if the 5x deposit or the 10x deposit maximum win limit is applicable.
I will contact the casino to see if I can help.
We would like to invite CasinoJAX to join the conversation.
Dear CasinoJAX,
Can you please provide clarify the information about the maximum win limit from the deposit bonus the player has claimed? Was this mentioned in the specific bonus T&Cs or how was the player informed about this limit?
Hi,
Please allow me a few hours to investigate this case with our customer support team.
Will update you asap.
thx
