Player stopped responding

Amount: €5,200

Safety Index:Above average

Case summary

The player from Germany had won €5,200 after wagering a €50 no-deposit bonus at Casino Bello, but only €73 was allowed to be withdrawn due to a maximum cashout rule. Despite the bonus terms stating a max cashout of €10,000, her winnings were mostly confiscated. The Complaints Team had contacted the casino to clarify the maximum win limits for her VIP bonus but had received no response despite multiple attempts. The casino later stated that the bonus in question was a "Special RG" no-deposit offer, not a VIP bonus, and therefore the maximum cashout of €50 applied. The casino team clarified the situation to the player. The player became unresponsive to the messages if the situation had been clarified or if they needed assistance with anything else; consequently, the case was closed due to the player's lack of response.

Hello,

Yesterday I received a €50 no-deposit bonus from Casino Bello and won €5,200. After completing and successfully wagering the bonus, I was able to withdraw €5,200. The next day, everything except €73 was confiscated on the grounds that the maximum cashout was €50. But why €73? Normally, winnings are immediately confiscated after the bonus has been wagered, without me being able to withdraw anything. The bonus terms and conditions state a maximum cashout of €10,000 for no-deposit bonuses. I have played a lot in this casino.

Dear Jessidi85,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. I have checked the bonus policy, and this is what I found regarding the maximum cashout from no-deposit bonuses:

The maximum you will ever be able to withdraw from play with funds associated with a no-deposit bonus or free spins (i.e. Registration 5 EUR Bonus) is 50 EUR/USD; 80 CAD/AUD; 100 NZD; 500 NOK; 0.001 BTC; 0.025 ETH; 50 USDT; 0.8 LTC; 0.2 BCH.

Please note that according to the Terms and Conditions, in case of a discrepancy between any terms and conditions in English and any other language, the English version prevails.

I would like to emphasize that according to our Fair Gambling Codex https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#win-limits, we consider imposed win limits to be unfair and predatory only when they are applied to a real money game, however, we accept bonus T&Cs that restrict the maximum cash out from a 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,

Veronika

But why does it say €50 max cash out once and €10,000 once? I've played at this casino many times, and have had bonuses with max cash out before, but the money was confiscated immediately after successful implementation, leaving me with no way to withdraw any more. This time, it wasn't confiscated immediately, but only after I wanted to withdraw. I find it very questionable why my remaining balance of around €24 was still in my account even though the withdrawal had been canceled. I'm used to the fact that the entire amount is then confiscated. Can you answer this for me? It's really irritating and questionable. Kind regards.

I also understand the €50 maximum cashout to be for the €5 registration bonus. I didn't have that. I had a special bonus.

To clarify, not all bonuses are capped immediately after the wagering is completed. In many cases, the system doesn't enforce the maximum cash-out limit until a player actually requests a withdrawal. While this might seem inconsistent, it's a technical setup used by some casinos. The funds may still appear in the balance after the wagering is completed, but the limit only takes effect during the withdrawal process.

We agree that this isn’t ideal from a user experience perspective—it can feel misleading. However, as long as the terms and conditions clearly explain how the maximum cash-out rule works, it’s not considered unfair. That said, it’s always important to review the current bonus rules carefully, as they can differ even within the same casino depending on the specific promotion.

Could you please send me a link or a screenshot of the bonus you activated and played with?

Thank you for your response. However, there might have been a misunderstanding.

I was hoping you could send me a link, a screenshot, or forward the email related to the special bonus you activated and played with. This would allow me to check whether there were any additional win limits attached to this specific offer, beyond those stated in the general bonus terms.

Thank you for the screenshot. However, the chat support agent mentioned a 20 CAD bonus, while you mentioned a 50€ bonus in your initial comment. Please note that various bonuses might have various cashout limits.

Apparently, the information from chat support was incorrect. I was surprised about the 20 CAD; I didn't know what that meant. I definitely had a 50 Euro bonus. I wrote to chat support again and received the following information: I received a VIP bonus on April 1st and April 2nd, 2025. April 1st, 2025 = 50 Euros, April 2nd, 2025 = 100 Euros. I'm sending you the screenshot from the chat.

Do you have the possibility to contact the casino?

Hello Jessidi85,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case, and just so you know, it is absolutely common that there is a maximum win limit from no deposit bonuses, even for VIP bonuses. This is quite an industry standard, but it is expected that this limit is communicated to the players. I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite Casino Bello to join the conversation.



Dear Casino Bello,

Can you please provide us with the VIP bonus rules, particularly the maximum win rules for the specific bonus based on which the players' winnings were capped? If there are any factors influencing this situation that can't be shared publicly, please forward them to me at michal.k@casino.guru

We would like to ask the 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, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Jessidi85,

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from their side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might 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.

Should you want to pursue your complaint further, you can submit it to the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) via this contact form. Although the GCB does not officially handle disputes between players and gaming operators, they still might be able to help, so it is worth a try.

Please let me know if and how they responded at michal.k@casino.guru if you try this option.

I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.



Best regards,

Michal

Dear Casino Bello,

As our goal is to reach a resolution whenever possible, I will extend the timer for another week. Despite having somewhat expected that a resolution would be presented at the time of the reopening request, I remain hopeful that we will be able to find a satisfactory outcome for this case soon.

Hello!


So, we double-checked the point of whole complaint and we must admit that we do not quite understand what exactly was wrong from our side. The only incorrect thing we can currently see is that online chat agent mistakenly told the client that she received VIP bonuses on April 1st and 2nd which is not true - client indeed received VIP bonus on April 2nd but there was no bonuses on April 1st and the bonus for which client refers in this complaint was called "Special RG" bonus and was credited on March 31th. Client can easily check this information in her profile by going into "Promo" section and clicking on "See bonuses history". As it is not a VIP bonus and just retention nodeposit offer this point from Terms and Conditions was applied: "The maximum you will ever be able to withdraw from play with funds associated with a no-deposit bonus or free spins (i.e. Registration 5 EUR Bonus) is 50 EUR/USD; 80 CAD/AUD; 100 NZD; 500 NOK; 0.001 BTC; 0.025 ETH; 50 USDT; 0.8 LTC; 0.2 BCH.". In her statement in the complaint client says that she was offered VIP bonus - that statement is not true and it can be checked in here profile as it mentioned above.


Even more - the message that was sent to the user was next one:


Hallo, Jessica!

Für Sie ist einen 100% Einzahlungsbonus (Code: ABC4)+ €50 verfügbar.

Unter https://www.casinobello2.com/ können Sie es aktivieren! Viel Spaß!


Max.cashout is not mentioned in this message as well as it is not mentioned that this is a VIP offer - just 50 EUR no-deposit bonus - that's why the point from T&C regarding max.win from no-deposit offer was applied.


It would be great if you can tell us what exactly in your opinion we did wrong as we not quite sure how else we can work towards this complaint resolution 🙂 Thank you very much!

While it appears that the situation has been elucidated, the absence of the player's response to our communications, enquiries, and reminders diminishes the justification for keeping this case open any longer. Consequently, we must classify this complaint as Rejected for the time being.

We remain available and ready to assist further if needed, should the player decide to contact us again.


Thank you for your understanding.

Michal
