The player from Switzerland, a Gold-2 VIP at BetOnRed, faced an issue with a bonus that had a misleading maximum win limit. Despite being assured by a support agent that there was no cap on the bonus, the casino enforced a 46 CHF limit after he won a significant amount. The player demanded the full amount of 1,051 CHF to be credited to his balance. We reviewed the case and found that the maximum winnings limit was clearly stated in the bonus terms and conditions displayed to the player. Although the player provided evidence of contradictory information from casino agents, we determined that the chatbot's assurances did not override the established bonus rules. Consequently, the complaint was rejected as the imposed win limit on bonus play was accepted under our Fair Gambling Codex.

Subject: Misleading information by support agent regarding Bonus Max Win
Description:
I am a Gold-2 VIP player at BetOnRed. After significant losses (4,000 CHF), I received a bonus from the chatbot.245 free spins or 166 cash balance wich i choose.The automated bonus didn't came along with any explanation of the conditions.I thought it was normal bonus.I hit a very big multiplier 10.000 x on the Sea of sports.
While playing, I noticed a 46CHF max win limit in the system. I immediately contacted Live Chat to clarify this. The agent explicitly told me: "Keep playing, there is no max win for this bonus".
But I asked her again because it was saying under the bonus 46 max win
Based on this professional assurance, Now the casino is trying to enforce the 46 CHF limit. This is a clear case of misleading information and negligent misrepresentation. If I had been told the truth, I would have stopped playing. I have screenshots of the conversation where the agent gave me the wrong information. I request the full amount of 1051 CHF to be credited to my real balance.

Dear Maurolouki07, thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I am sorry to hear about your issues at BetOnRed Casino.
I have read the casino's Bonus Terms and this is what I have found:
3.28. The maximum winnings resulting from any no-deposit offer are capped at 50 EUR or an equal amount of the respective currency if not stated otherwise. This includes, but is not limited to, the winnings from no-deposit bonuses, no-deposit free spins, and cash rewards.
Could you please clarify whether I understand correctly that the max win rule was already included in the bonus rules displayed in your account?
I would like to emphasize that, according to our Fair Gambling Codex https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#win-limits, we consider an imposed win limit to be unfair and predatory only when applied to a real money game. However, we accept bonus T&Cs that restrict the maximum cash out from bonus play.
If there is any additional information that would support your case, please do not hesitate to contact us, otherwise I will be forced to reject your complaint.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Attila
Dear Attila,
I would like to provide additional context that proves the unfair treatment in my case.
I am a Gold VIP Level 2 member. Just in the last 3 days before receiving this bonus, I deposited and wagered over 20,000 CHF of my own real money. After losing my balance, I contacted live chat to request a bonus reflecting my VIP status.
The automated chatbot offered me a choice between 245 free spins or a 166.14 CHF Goodwill Credit. I chose the credit. It is logically inconsistent and predatory for a casino to grant a 166 CHF bonus to a high-turnover VIP player, requiring a massive wager (4,500+ CHF), only to cap the winnings at a humiliating 46.44 CHF.
Most importantly:
I specifically asked support about this limit before finishing the wager.
The agent 'Phoebe' explicitly confirmed: 'Your GoodWill Credit bonus... has NO any maximum win amount'.
The agent 'Mario' also confirmed that the 46.44 CHF limit did not apply to my active bonus.
I acted in good faith based on the direct instructions and confirmations from the casino's official representatives. A general term (3.28) cannot override a specific, written confirmation given to a VIP customer by the support team during active play.
I request that you reconsider the rejection, as this is a clear case of misleading information provided by the casino
The general terms do not waive casinos responsibility to provide transparent information during a specific direct offer. A bonus of 166 CHF with a 44 CHF cap is a mathematical paradox that the casino have been explicitly stated by the chatbot. As a VIP player, I expect clarity, not hidden traps in the chat history.
Dear Attila,
I would like to add one more crucial technical point that proves this was not a standard no-deposit bonus subject to term 3.28.
While playing with this bonus, the casino's system allowed me to perform a 'Bonus Buy' for 50 CHF. As you can see in the attached screenshots, I wagered 50 CHF of the bonus balance in a single transaction to buy a feature.
This creates a massive logical and technical contradiction: If the maximum win (cash-out) was indeed capped at 44.46 CHF, why would the system allow a player to wager 50 CHF? It is mathematically impossible for a player to intentionally wager more than the maximum possible return.
The fact that the system permitted a 50 CHF bet proves that:
The software itself did not have a technical cap applied to this specific 'Goodwill' balance.
The casino effectively encouraged me to wager amounts higher than their 'hidden' limit, which is predatory.
This further confirms the manual confirmation I received from agents Phoebe and Mario: this specific VIP Goodwill Credit had NO maximum win limit
1. Specific Confirmation Overrides General Terms:
I did not simply find this bonus in my account; I contacted Live Chat specifically due to my Gold VIP Level 2 status after wagering 20,000 CHF. Two different human agents, 'Phoebe' and 'Mario', explicitly confirmed—after reviewing my active session—that this "Goodwill Credit" had NO maximum win limit. In any regulated industry, a specific, written confirmation from an official representative overrides a general term, especially when that confirmation induces the customer to continue playing.
2. The Technical Proof (The 50 CHF Bonus Buy):
The casino’s system allowed me to wager 50 CHF in a single transaction (Bonus Buy). If the casino's claim that a 44.46 CHF cap existed were true, the software would be mathematically paradoxical: it would allow a player to wager more than the maximum possible return. The fact that the system permitted a 50 CHF bet proves that, technically and logically, no cap was applied to this specific VIP balance at the time of play.
3. Misleading Conduct and Induced Play:
By telling me there was no limit, the casino induced me to take higher risks (like the 50 CHF Bonus Buy). Had I been told there was a 44 CHF cap, I would never have placed a 50 CHF bet. This is a clear case of misleading information that resulted in financial loss of potential winnings.
4. VIP Status vs. Standard Terms:
A "Goodwill Credit" for a high-turnover VIP player is a bespoke retention offer. Applying standard "no-deposit" terms (designed for free sign-up bonuses) to a VIP player who has just wagered 20,000 CHF is predatory and inconsistent with the industry's standards for VIP treatment.
I expect Casino Guru to hold the casino accountable for the explicit promises made by their staff and the technical reality of their software, rather than allowing them to hide behind a general term that their own team told me did not apply.

The casino contacted me via email stating that my request has been forwarded to a manager. I am waiting for their official response.
I just received an email from my VIP manager (Sonya) stating that the max win for my bonus is 4153 CHF, contrary to what the system shows (46.15 CHF). This is very confusing and misleading. I am attaching the screenshot of her email as evidence.
I am updating my complaint because the casino's representatives continue to provide contradictory and misleading information for the 4th time.
The Contradiction: My VIP Manager (Sonya) explicitly confirmed via email that my Max Win is 4153 CHF. Now, the support agent (Amelie) is trying to change this, claiming that 4153 CHF was actually the wagering requirement. This is a clear "bait and switch" tactic.
The Mathematical Proof: I have also provided a screenshot showing that the casino allowed me to buy a bonus feature for 50 CHF. This would be mathematically impossible if the Max Win was truly capped at 46 CHF, as the system would be allowing a bet higher than the potential payout.
Terms 3.28: As you mentioned, the 50 EUR cap applies "if not stated otherwise". The email from the VIP Manager is the official statement that "stated otherwise" for my account.
It is clear that I am being misled. I request your intervention to ensure that the casino honors the terms explicitly provided to me by their VIP department.
Dear Attila,
I am contacting you regarding a serious issue with Bet On Red. I find their current bonus policy and account restrictions to be deceptive and predatory.
The core of my complaint:
The casino has imposed a "Max Win" limit that is actually lower than the bonus amount itself. This is logically impossible and deceptive; it essentially prevents any real chance of completing the wagering requirements fairly.
Crucial Evidence:
I have even received an admission from their representative, Sonia, who explicitly stated in an email that I am "absolutely right" regarding this contradiction. I am attaching the screenshot of this email as proof that even the casino's own staff recognizes the unfairness of this rule.
My Demand:
I am not asking for a favor, I am demanding transparency. I want my account to be fully reinstated so I can continue my wagering without this ridiculous "max win" restriction that was unfairly applied. Their current terms act as a trap for the player rather than a legitimate promotion.
I am a fair player and I expect the same from the casino. I look forward to your mediation in resolving this absurdity.
I attached here the file of Vip manager saying that my account is temporarily suspended
To be 100% transparent: The bonus was activated automatically when I chose it in the live chat with the chat bot.I expected a bonus for my significant losses. I deposited around 1500 and I won 4-5 thousand wagering almost 20.000.
When i received the cash bonus i just played as i thought that it was a normal bonus for my Level that can i wager normally with a logical max win cap.I have again received these type off bonuses with some high max wins.
This was not a normal no deposit bonus.
As soon as hit the 10.000x i waked up and thought of checking the max win because I won a good amount considering the bet
Then i saw 46.15 Max win i was shocked
I immediately stopped playing to seek clarification.
I did not ignore the rule; I challenged it because it contradicted logic and the information I was given. I contacted support specifically about this, and Phoebe explicitly told me to disregard it, confirming there is NO maximum win limit for this credit.
Furthermore, the system allowed me to place a 50 CHF bet, which technically shouldn't be possible if a 46 CHF total win limit was strictly active. I relied on the written word of the VIP support and the technical behavior of the platform. I believe a VIP player should be able to trust the direct instructions of their account manager over a potentially flawed UI display."
The casino has kept my account suspended for over 20 hours now. I issued a 24-hour deadline last night, but they continue to use delay tactics instead of fixing the technical paradox (50 CHF bet vs 46 CHF max win). They are intentionally running down the clock until my bonus expires on February 3rd
Update regarding communication with the casino representatives
I would like to provide a critical update on my case. I have repeatedly attempted to contact the casino representatives and VIP managers via their official Telegram channel to get a clear explanation as to why my account has been suspended, but they have failed to provide any justification. I have also specifically requested a Ticket Number for my issue, which they have completely ignored.
Furthermore, I requested a written assurance that the bonus expiration timer would be paused while my account is suspended and under investigation. They have failed to provide this confirmation as well. It is now clear that they are intentionally stalling and ignoring my points to gain time, so that the bonus automatically expires on its deadline, February 3rd. Their refusal to cooperate or provide transparency regarding the bonus status during this suspension is a clear act of bad faith
Dear Attila,
I would like to provide a final, comprehensive summary of my case, supported by the evidence I have uploaded. This case is not just about a bonus; it is about the systemic manipulation of a Gold 2 VIP player.
1. The VIP Status and Intentional Manipulation:
The casino officially recognized me as a high-tier player, setting a maintenance bar of 2,700 CHF for me to complete within 30 days to keep my Gold level. I didn’t just meet this. I wagered 20,000 CHF in only 2 days. Despite this massive activity, my VIP Telegram support was hidden, forcing me to use a chatbot that the casino now claims has a generic 50€ limit. Curiously, the VIP Telegram support magically reappeared only after I filed this complaint.
2. The Technical Paradox (The 50 CHF Bonus Buy):
The system allowed me to place a 50 CHF Bonus Buy in a single transaction. It is mathematically and logically impossible for a player to wager 50 CHF if the total return is strictly capped at 46.15 CHF. This proves the 'Max Win' was either a technical error or a predatory trap.
3. Direct Professional Assurance and Conflicting Information:
When I noticed the 46.15 CHF display, I immediately stopped playing to seek clarification. VIP agents Phoebe and Mario explicitly told me to disregard the limit, confirming there was NO maximum win for this credit. Furthermore, the VIP Manager, Sonya, later stated in an email that my limit was 4,153 CHF, directly contradicting the casino's current claim of a 50€ chatbot limit.
4. Admission of Error and Insulting "Crumbs" Offers:
The casino has already approached me with a settlement offer that can only be described as "insulting crumbs." I naturally rejected it. By making any offer, they explicitly admit their staff provided wrong instructions. They have kept my account suspended for 3 days as leverage to force me into an unfair deal. Crucially, this bonus expires on February 3rd; by freezing my account, they are intentionally running down the clock so I lose the winnings due to expiration.
Conclusion:
With a total turnover of nearly 300,000€ (58,723 points x 5€/point) over two years, I expect to be treated with fairness. Offering "pennies" after inducing me to wager 20,000 CHF is a total disregard for a loyal customer. I demand the full 1,051 CHF to be credited to my real balance and my account to be reinstated.
(I have attached photos of the vip managers saying that these channels was for vip customers 15 days ago?!!meaning i wasn't one.I am 2 years member and almost one year vip.they clearly trapped me sending me to chat bots.
and photos of the emails that casino offers me another bonus saying that this specific cannot change)
Hello Atilla, I am writing to you because my balance will be voided in less than 9 hours. I need to emphasize the following:
After making a turnover of 20,000 CHF within two days (starting from a 1,000 CHF deposit and reaching 5000+ CHF balance), the VIP Managers ignored me and directed me to the Chatbot.
The casino was pressuring me with a status downgrade, forcing me to play high volumes.
The Chatbot gave me a bonus that was not suitable for my VIP level (Gold 2), with a massive 4,153 CHF wagering.
I have more evidence that The system allowed me to place Bonus Buys of 50 CHF and 100 CHF. It is predatory to accept 100 CHF bets and then claim a 50 CHF max win limit.
Please intervene immediately before the timer runs out. This is a clear case of VIP negligence and misleading information
Dear Atilla,
The bonus has officially expired and my winnings are gone. The casino deliberately kept my account locked for 6 days now under 'Security Review' just to let the timer run out and confiscate my balance.
Evidence of the Wipe: A final screenshot at 01:35 AM shows my balance was wiped to 0.00 CHF the moment the timer hit zero. I have a video proving I was still blocked from playing just minutes before expiry.
The 300k Turnover Trap: I am a loyal player with a 300,000 CHF total turnover. The system allowed me to place 50 CHF 100CHF bets, which is normal for my stakes, only to later trap me with a ridiculous 46 CHF 'Max Win' and a downgrade of my account's value.
VIP Deception & Intentional Neglect: My VIP managers, completely ignored my status. They stripped me of my VIP privileges and repeatedly redirected me to a generic Chat Bot, effectively cutting off any real communication. Despite my constant efforts via Telegram and Live Chat to warn them that the bonus was expiring, they chose to stay silent until the money vanished. Furthermore, agent Phoebe and Mario had explicitly assured me there was NO Max Win limit.When Sonya stated that the max win was the same amount as the wagering of this bonus??!?coincidence
Most importantly, I acted with total integrity. My last action was the 50 CHF Bonus Buy that won 1,015.24 CHF. Even though my account was still open at that moment and I had every opportunity to continue playing and potentially win much more, I chose to stop immediately. I went straight to support to clarify the 'Max Win' contradiction. I didn't try to hide anything.I sought the truth, and in return, they froze my account to let the clock run out.
I demand the full restoration of my 1,051.21 CHF as real money, as I was unfairly and deliberately prevented from completing my play.
Hello Atilla
The casino stated today in an email will not engage in further discussions on this matter.
They claim that I haven't lost 'my own money' because it was a bonus, but this is completely false. Over the last 2 days, I have deposited 1,000CHF of my own money, reached a balance of 5000+ and generated a turnover of over 20.000 CHF
These are not just 'gift' funds they represent my actual play and investment.
The most critical point is that the casino intentionally blocked me.
I have video evidence showing that my account was under 'suspension' exactly 30 minutes before the bonus expired.
I also have a second video of today morning showing that despite my account reached 0 CHF after the expiration of the bonus my account is still Suspended.
They are using the 'bonus' excuse to avoid paying out the 1051CHF I am entitled to. Here is the video proof of the technical block they imposed on me:
I refuse to accept a new bonus as a solution. After this treatment the 1051CHF IS THE MINIMUM THAT CASINO CAN DO TO RESTORE OUR RELATIONSHIP.

Dear Maurolouki07,
First and foremost, let me mention that sometimes, less is more. You have provided a very large amount of screenshots, as well as tens of back-to-back messages in the thread, even if you were not asked to, and it was our turn to answer. It is always best to clearly state the point that you want to make, and support it with relevant evidence, without unnecessary information in between. This helps everyone involved get a clear picture and also helps with a faster resolution of the complaint. You can not expect an answer in a timely manner after spamming the thread like this.
Further, I would like to address the contradictions in the information provided. Initially, you indicated that the bonus was activated at your discretion during your conversation with the chatbot; however, you later mentioned that it was activated automatically. This inconsistency makes it challenging to evaluate the situation effectively.
I would like to clarify that, according to our Fair Gambling Codex, we consider a win limit to be viewed as unfair and predatory only when it pertains to real money games. We do, however, accept bonus terms and conditions that impose a maximum cash-out limit from bonus play. In this particular instance, the maximum winnings were clearly outlined in the bonus rules displayed in the screenshot you provided. Unfortunately, the information given by the chatbot does not supersede the established bonus rules. As a result, we regret to inform you that we must reject this complaint. I apologize that we could not assist you further in this matter. Should you encounter any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
