Case summary

The player from Germany activated a €54 deposit bonus at Betwarts and completed the wagering requirements, resulting in a balance of €1,339.35. However, the balance was automatically reduced to €162 due to a payout limit not clearly stated in the bonus terms or general conditions. The player requests a review of the case and support in resolving the matter.

Hello CasinoGuru team,


At Betwarts ( https://betwarts1.com ) I activated a €54 deposit bonus on May 16, 2026, and subsequently fulfilled all wagering requirements. After completing the requirements, my account balance was €1,339.35.

Immediately after the last qualifying game, my balance was automatically reduced to just €162. When I inquired via live chat, the provider simply informed me that the "maximum payout amount is 300% of the bonus amount".

Despite repeated requests, I was unable to obtain a specific bonus rule or clause that clearly stipulates such a limitation. The bonus terms and conditions linked at the time of the promotion also contained no such restriction. The link at that time only referred to the general terms and conditions, in which I likewise could not find a clear provision on this matter.

In my view, all conditions and restrictions that apply to players must be clearly and transparently published in the general terms and conditions or the respective bonus conditions.


I documented the entire live chat via screenshot and also secured evidence that such a limitation was not explicitly stated in the terms and conditions in effect at the time.

Therefore, I request that my case be reviewed and that support be provided in clarifying the matter with the provider.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Attila,


Thank you for your reply.


I have already forwarded the entire conversation with the live chat as well as the email regarding the bonus to the email address you mentioned.

It is particularly important to note that the bonus email explicitly stated that the general terms and conditions applied. However, nowhere in the email was there any mention of a so-called 300% rule or any corresponding limit.

Even while using the bonus, clicking on "Bonus conditions" only referred to the general terms and conditions.

Furthermore, I have a screenshot that clearly shows that there is no mention of this alleged 300% rule in the terms and conditions.

From my perspective, it is therefore unacceptable that the casino retrospectively invokes a rule that was neither clearly stated in the bonus offer nor in the applicable terms and conditions. Players cannot comply with conditions that are not communicated transparently anywhere.


I therefore request that this case be assessed fairly and that the casino be held accountable, as the alleged rule was neither visible nor comprehensible to me before, during and after the use of the bonus.

If further evidence is required, I will of course be happy to provide it.


Best regards

Dear Honk555,


Following a thorough review of your account with the relevant department, we can confirm that an issue occurred during the calculation of your maximum bonus release.


As a result, an additional €378.00 should have been credited to your account. We sincerely apologize for this error and any inconvenience it may have caused.


To proceed with crediting these funds directly to you, please reply to the separate email we recently sent requesting your bank details. Once we receive your confirmation and details, we will process the payment promptly.


Thank you for your patience and understanding. Should you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to reach out to us.

Dear Betwarts Casino Team,


I do not agree with the proposed additional credit of €378.00.

At the time of my participation, no limit was specified for the maximum bonus payout. This is evident from both the available images and the terms and conditions in effect at the time. Therefore, I see no basis for retroactively limiting my payout.


I also have proof that Betwarts is generally capable of explicitly and transparently communicating bonus limits in promotional emails. As further evidence, I am submitting a promotional email from Betwarts which clearly states:

"Maximum payout amount: 5x the bonus amount."


This email is relevant to my complaint because it shows that maximum payouts in promotional campaigns can be communicated clearly and directly.

The offer that led to my disputed withdrawal, however, made no mention of a maximum cashout limit. Had such a significant restriction been clearly stated, I would have assessed my deposit and participation differently.


This shows that transparent disclosure would have been possible, but did not occur in my case. I therefore ask you to take this inconsistency and lack of transparency into account when you re-examine my complaint.

I request that the process be reviewed again in full and that the payment be credited to me in accordance with the conditions communicated at the time of participation.


Best regards


Honk

Hello everyone,

thank you both for your latest updates.

Dear Betwarts Casino,

first of all, thank you for your thorough review of this case and for acknowledging that an error occurred in the calculation of the player's maximum bonus release. I appreciate your willingness to correct the mistake and compensate the player accordingly.

However, before I can draw my final conclusion, I would like to ask for one additional clarification.

The player argues that, at the time the disputed promotion was offered and accepted, no maximum cashout limitation was communicated. Furthermore, the player has provided an example of another promotional email where such a restriction was explicitly stated, suggesting that the casino is technically capable of presenting this information clearly when intended.

Could you therefore please provide the exact promotional materials and Bonus Terms that were applicable to this specific bonus at the time it was claimed, clearly indicating where the maximum cashout limitation was communicated to the player? If possible, please also provide a screenshot or copy of the promotion as it was displayed to the player when the bonus was activated.

This point is important for me, as I need to determine whether the relevant restriction was communicated sufficiently clearly before the player accepted the promotion.

Dear Honk555,

thank you for providing your additional comments and supporting evidence. I understand the point you are making regarding the transparency of the promotion, and I believe it is appropriate to allow the casino an opportunity to clarify exactly what information was presented to players at the time this specific bonus was claimed.

I will await the casino's response before reaching my final conclusion.

Thank you both for your cooperation.

Dear Samuel,


Please find the Terms & Conditions applicable to the bonus offer at the time it was issued (Please note that these specific terms can be found within our general Terms & Conditions on our website) :


7.16 Unless specified otherwise by the specific promotion rules, any bonus is subject to the following requirements:


Any no-deposit casino bonus has wagering requirements of x40 (forty). Any such bonus has a maximum withdrawal limit of x5 (five) the bonus amount received. For example, a 20 EUR (twenty) no-deposit bonus will have a maximum withdrawal limit of 100 EUR (one hundred). Any winnings above 100 EUR (one hundred) will not be eligible for withdrawal and will be voided and removed from the account balance at the withdrawal stage.

       

Any deposit casino bonus has wagering requirements of x35(thirty-five) times the initial amount of the deposit and bonus received. Any such bonus has a maximum withdrawal limit of x10 (ten) the bonus amount received. For example, a 10 EUR (ten) deposit bonus will have a maximum withdrawal limit of 100 EUR (one hundred). Any winnings above 100 EUR (one hundred) will not be eligible for withdrawal and will be voided and removed from the account balance at the withdrawal stage.


Thank you for your assistance, and we look forward to your update.

Hello esteemed Betwarts Casino Team,

Thank you very much for your statement.


However, I would like to point out that the casino is citing terms and conditions that were not present on the website in this form at the time I won the bonus.

Immediately after completing the bonus, I documented the then-current terms and conditions by taking a screenshot. Clause 7.16 of the terms and conditions valid at that time contained only a regulation for no-deposit casino bonuses with a maximum payout of five times the bonus amount.

The second paragraph, now quoted by the casino, which states that deposit bonuses are subject to a maximum payout of ten times the bonus amount, was not included in the terms and conditions at the time. I am attaching a screenshot of the then-current terms and conditions from my screen recording as proof.


From my point of view, the casino cannot subsequently invoke a condition that was not part of the published terms and conditions at the time of bonus acceptance and completion.

Should further evidence be required, I will of course be happy to provide it.


Kind regards

Honk

Hello everyone,

thank you both for your updates.

Dear Betwarts Casino,

thank you for providing the relevant Terms & Conditions.

However, the player has now raised a serious concern and submitted evidence suggesting that the version of Clause 7.16 available at the time of the promotion differed from the version you have quoted.

To clarify this point, could you please provide evidence showing that the quoted version of Clause 7.16, including the maximum cashout limitation for deposit bonuses, was indeed published and available to players at the time this specific bonus was accepted? For example, a dated copy of the applicable Terms & Conditions, an internal record, or any other evidence confirming that these terms were in effect at the relevant time.

This clarification is essential for determining whether the player was properly informed of the applicable bonus restrictions before participating in the promotion.

I will await your response before reaching my final conclusion.

Thank you both for your cooperation.

Dear Betwarts Casino Team,


Thank you for your feedback.


I would like to reiterate that I possess all the evidence that documents the content of the terms and conditions in effect at the time I concluded my bonus agreement.


Immediately after completing the bonus, I recorded the bonus terms and conditions and the general terms and conditions on video. These recordings clearly show that the general terms and conditions at that time corresponded exactly to the screenshot I had already submitted.


I therefore ask you to consider this evidence in your review together with the relevant authority. Should this be necessary, I will of course be happy to provide you with the complete video recordings.


Best regards
