Case summary

The player from Germany faced difficulties withdrawing funds from the casino after mistakenly activating a bonus during his deposit. Despite fulfilling the bonus wagering requirements and achieving a win of approximately €290, the casino confiscated around €180 from his account and only refunded €107, claiming that the bonus and deposit had become one. He disputed this arbitrary enforcement of unclear rules and requested assistance in resolving the situation. The Complaints Team intervened, and after further discussions, the casino credited a refund of $150 to the player's account as a gesture of goodwill, resolving the issue.

Summary of Facts:


· Date of Incident: August 28, 2025.

· Actions Taken: I made two deposits of €20 each (total €40). I inadvertently activated a bonus during the deposit process due to the ambiguity of the English texts and the platform's interface.

· Initial Contact: I immediately contacted customer service to request the cancellation of the bonus, a request that was denied. The agent claimed, without citing any public terms, that "the deposit and the bonus become one at the moment of accepting the bonus."


The Core Problem:


· I fulfilled the bonus wagering requirements and achieved a win of approximately €290.

· Upon requesting a withdrawal, the casino denied my request and proceeded to confiscate a portion of my funds.

· The Casino's Action: They removed approximately €180 from my balance and refunded only €107 to me—a figure that does not correspond with any explicit clause in their Terms and Conditions.


Grounds for My Dispute:


· Lack of Transparency: Nowhere in the casino's general "Terms and Conditions" or the specific "Bonus Terms" does it state that once accepted, the bonus and deposit are considered "one" in an irrevocable manner, nor is an impossible cancellation policy detailed.

· Arbitrary Enforcement of Rules: The casino invented a rule after the fact to justify withholding funds. Their only response was: "We are informing you of this right now," which is profoundly unprofessional.

· Incorrect and Unexplained Calculation: Even if their flawed logic is applied, their calculations do not add up:

· My deposits total €40.

· The bonus for that deposit (assuming 100%) would be €40, creating a total bonus balance of €80.

· The term they mention establishes a "max win" of 5x the bonus amount. 5 x €80 = €400. My winnings of €290 are below this hypothetical limit.

· The amount they refunded (€107) has no logical or mathematical relation to my deposits (€40) or the win limit they themselves allege.


Additional Information:


· My account has not been verified beyond the email address, as this was my first time using this casino. They also didn't ask for it.

· This was my first and only deposit on the platform.


In conclusion, I believe Casinok.com has acted in bad faith, withholding my winnings arbitrarily and applying rules that were not published or clear to the user. I trust that GuruCasino can help me resolve this situation fairly.


I remain at your full disposal to provide any screenshots of the chat conversations, deposit receipts, bonus terms, or any other information required for my case.


Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.


Sincerely, Edwliet.

Dear player,  

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem with Casinok Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely:  

  • Do I understand correctly that the bonus you activated was a first deposit bonus 100% up to $2,000?
  • Was your first deposit €20? Is it right that you made two separate deposits? To my understanding, 100% bonus you received should be €20. If the casino has a term that limits maximum cashout to 5x the bonus received, it calculates as €20 x 5 = €100.
  • Can you please share the screenshots of your deposit and bonus history from your casino account?
  • Do you have access to your betting history? I'd appreciate it if you could share it as well. You can send all the relevant evidence to my email [email protected].
  • Please specify if you were able to withdraw €107.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.  

Best regards,

Natalia

Dear Natalia,

Thank you for your patience. I'm writing to provide crucial clarification based on the information you requested and a detailed analysis of my account history.


1. Clarification on Deposits and the Bonus:

Deposits: Indeed, I made two deposits. Yes, I made two deposits. Due to the LTC conversion, they were approximately €20 each (with a slight variation in cents). The total deposited was approximately €40.


Bonus Activation: It's crucial to note that the 100% bonus was activated only with the second deposit of ~€20. Therefore, the bonus received was ~€20, not €40. The first deposit of €20 wasn't subject to any bonus.


2. The Casino Calculation Error and My Analysis:

The casino claims a withdrawal limit of 5 times the bonus value. If we apply this correctly, the calculation would be:

Voucher Value: ~20 €

Winnings Limit (5x): 5 x €20 = €100


However, this logic is deeply flawed and detrimental to the player, as it completely ignores the actual money deposited. A fair calculation should consider both the capital invested and the profits generated under the rules.

A fair breakdown of my final balance should have been:


Real Money Deposited (the ~40 €): This is my capital, and it should not be confiscated.

Bonus winnings (up to a limit of €100): This is the profit subject to the promotion.


Fair withdrawal total: ~€40 (my funds) + €100 (maximum allowed earnings) = ~€140


The casino, on the other hand, allowed me to withdraw only €107, a figure that violates its own policy (€100 profit), and it also unfairly confiscated a portion of my original deposit (~€40). Its action amounts to saying that "the deposit money was lost in gambling," which is absurd, since according to its own policy, once the bonus is activated, the bonus balance and real money are combined and used for betting. If a net profit was generated, my real money is necessarily included in the final balance.


3. Additional Problem: Partial Withdrawal Not Permitted:

To complete the withdrawal, the casino imposed another unpublished condition: they forced me to withdraw my entire balance (€107), rejecting my initial request to withdraw only €100 and leave €7 for further play. They claimed that "partial withdrawals are not possible," a rule that doesn't appear in any of their public Terms and Conditions.


4. Information Sent:

As a request, I have forwarded it to your email ( [email protected] ) the deposit and bonus history, which supports these clarifications. The betting history is extremely extensive (around 400 pages). I'm prepared to send it in full if strictly necessary for the resolution, but I would appreciate it if you could proceed with the information already provided.


In short, the casino has committed two serious irregularities in my understanding of its terms:

Incorrect and harmful application of your Terms, confiscating part of my original deposit.

Imposition of an unpublished rule (prohibition of partial withdrawal).

I fully trust that Casino Guru will mediate to get me the amount that, even under the casino's strictest logic, would be due to me: my full deposit (~€40) plus the maximum bonus winnings limit (€100).

I look forward to your prompt response.


Sincerely,

Edwliet

Dear player, can you please specify if the real money balance and the bonus money balance are separated in your account? When wagering the bonus, have you used solely bonus money, or have you used your real deposited money as well?


Please, specify in which format you have access to your betting history? Can it be downloaded in PDF or XLSX?

Dear Natalia, as I mentioned before, the casino chat has told me, without any basis in their terms and conditions of use, that the bonus balance and the deposit balance become one when a bonus is activated. They also prohibit canceling bonuses, and if you do, they eliminate all deposit money along with the bonus. So, to answer your question: No, it's only possible to see one balance on the casino display; it's not possible to view them separately. When the bonus and deposit money are "merged," nowhere in their terms and conditions, or in the bonus's terms, does it say anything about the deposit balance being played before or afterward, since in theory this "deposit balance" ceases to exist.


About the betting history: There is no way to download it, I made the request through the support chat and they told me quite rudely that the only thing I can do with the betting history is view it, so the only way I could share it with you would be to take 400 screenshots and send it by email, which I am willing to do only if absolutely necessary to resolve the case.


I've left a couple of logs of the support chat via email, it was only 2 or 3 conversations, since the support is quite rude and when they don't like a question, they just close the chat.

Hello !


We have carefully reviewed all your transactions. You had a bonus amount of 0.21668 LTC, and according to our bonus rules, the maximum withdrawal limit is 5x the bonus amount. Therefore, the withdrawal you received is correct and fully in line with the terms and conditions.

Dear Casinok Casino, please, let us know if the maximum win cap was applied right after the wagering was fulfilled or at the withdrawal stage. The thing is, we consider all wagered funds to be real money, and request casinos to apply maximum win cap only once right after WR is fulfilled. Otherwise, in cases when the player had won more from the wagered bonus after the WR is fulfilled, we consider such winnings to be free of any restrictions. Please, let us know the details!

At the time of your withdrawal request, you had an active bonus balance of 0.21668 LTC. According to the terms, this amount multiplied by x5 equals the maximum cash-out allowed from that bonus. The remaining balance above this limit was therefore automatically deducted, as per the agreed bonus policy.

The deduction was not excessive or arbitrary but a standard procedure applied fairly to all players to ensure compliance with the promotion’s terms and conditions. The remaining funds within the x5 limit were credited to your account and made available for withdrawal.

We understand that such rules can sometimes cause confusion, but they are clearly outlined in the bonus terms, which all players agree to upon activation of a promotion. We always recommend reviewing these conditions beforehand to avoid misunderstandings.

Dear Casinok Casino,

I have double-checked the information we have, and player's screenshots show that they have received bonus of 0.43336 LTC. I do not know where have you got the 0.21668 LTC amount from, but this is not the bonus amount. I doubt that we would have agreed on the issue of application of maximum win amount and its fairness, so it is easier for all sides here to agree that the maximum win amount is higher than the disputed amount. Therefore, I request for player's winnings to be reinstated to their account.
