Case closed

Case summary

The player received free spins, won approximately $10, and through subsequent betting grew their balance to $300. The casino capped the winnings at $100 per bonus terms, which we initially supported after reviewing the game logs. However, we identified that the cap was incorrectly applied and should have been $120, as the player's $20 deposit was not accounted for. Following our intervention, the casino compensated the player with an additional $100, and the complaint was closed as resolved.

Good day,

I received 250 free spins as part of a promotion and won approximately €12-18 from them.

After the free spins ended, I continued playing normally and then placed sports bets. At no point was an active bonus visible, there were no displayed wagering requirements, and no restrictions on betting or submitting a withdrawal request.


With these funds I made further profits through sports betting and reached a balance of approximately €300, which I have requested to be paid out.


After submitting a withdrawal request, the casino manually deducted €300 from my account, stating that it was entirely free spin winnings and that a withdrawal limit of €100 applied.


My position is:


Only about €12–18 comes directly from the free spins.

There was no active bonus stored in the system.

Sports betting was fully possible, which is usually not allowed with bonus money.

The balance was treated as real money until the withdrawal request was submitted; only after that was a manual correction made.



Even according to the casino's own rules, I did not receive the allowed €100 from the free spins, as the payout was made from my deposit.


I consider the deduction of €300 to be unlawful and opaque and demand the repayment of this amount.


I can gladly provide you with further evidence, including screenshots.

Dear Freemen123,

  • Did the bonus require you to complete wagering requirements?
  • Did you complete verification of your identity in the casino?

Please let me know.

I sent them the screenshot of the bonus via email.

I won almost 18 euros from the free spins, which were immediately declared as real money.

Then I had a win that increased my account to €100. Afterwards, I reached €300 through sports betting (see PDF) email.

As required by the casino, I made a deposit and verified my identity before the withdrawal.

Dear team and player,


Thank you for your patience.


We would like to clarify the situation regarding the free spins bonus used by the player. According to our Bonus Terms & Conditions, the maximum withdrawable winnings from free spins are limited to €100.


Additionally, in order to withdraw any winnings obtained from free spins, the player must make a minimum qualifying deposit of €20. This requirement is mandatory and clearly stated in the bonus rules.


In this case, the player’s winnings exceeded the allowed maximum from free spins. Therefore, the balance was adjusted in accordance with our terms, leaving the maximum allowable amount of €100, which can be withdrawn after completing the minimum deposit requirement.


We believe the actions taken were fully compliant with our published rules and were applied fairly.

Should the player complete the required €20 deposit, they will be able to request a withdrawal of the remaining eligible balance.

Kind regards,

CasinOK Casino Team

That's complete nonsense! I have screenshots and proof that you wrongfully withheld €300 from me! And after my €20 deposit, you paid me €100, which was earned from that €20 deposit! So you didn't even pay me the €100! Ridiculous. I have everything in writing, including your terms and conditions. No casino is allowed to declare bonus money as real money, which you have made perfectly clear in this case.

I would like to add that the winnings from the free spins amounted to 18 euros.

I then achieved these large sums through sports betting.

And according to gambling law, it's not permitted to use casino bonuses for sports betting. So, this already involved real money. You're completely contradicting yourselves. This was also evident in the email correspondence.

Dear Freemen123 and the Casino Team,


I have reviewed the logs provided by the casino. Please correct me if I am mistaken, but according to the terms, all free bonus spins come with a 35x wagering requirement. Is that correct?

If so, Freemen123 finished the free spins with winnings of USD 10.7146. After playing slots and later placing several sports bets, the same pattern continued the following day.

The key point here is that the wagering requirement was completed during the sports bets on the second day. At that time, the balance was 268.5, and five additional bets were placed after the wagering had already been fulfilled.


The €20 deposit was made after the wagering requirement had been completed and before the application of the winnings cap.

Based on this information, it appears that the casino is correct in this case.

This is all complete nonsense. The casino's terms and conditions state that casino bonuses cannot be used for sports betting. So why was it possible?

But let's leave it at that.

I'll accept it then, and that's that. I know I'm in the right. How could I have requested multiple withdrawals with bonus money?

You're all faking everything here to make it fit.

Dear Freemen123,

I verified whether casino bonuses can be used for sports betting, and the support team confirmed that they can.

I also reviewed the game logs and the applicable terms. When you won $10 from the free spins, you were required to meet a 35x wagering requirement before being eligible to withdraw. This means you needed to place bets totaling $350.

Once the wagering requirement was completed, you became eligible to request a withdrawal. However, the maximum winnings rule always applies after the wagering is fulfilled. In some cases, the cap is applied automatically immediately after the wagering is completed, and in other cases, it is applied at the time of the withdrawal request.

In your situation, this timing would not have made a significant difference, as your balance was similar both at the moment the wagering was completed and when the casino applied the winnings cap.

I’m very sorry, but based on the information available, there is not much that can be done in this case.

Dear Freemen123,

I apologize for not mentioning one important detail earlier. The casino incorrectly capped your balance at $100, even though it already included your $20 deposit.

The correct capped amount should therefore have been $120.

Dear Freemen123,

The casino has provided evidence that on 19.11.2025, after several unsuccessful withdrawal attempts, you successfully withdrew 0.00127978 BTC, which was equivalent to approximately 120 USD at that time.

Dear Freemen123,

Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your case. After carefully going through the game log, here is a summary of what happened:

17 November 2025 — You claimed a free spins bonus and won $10. This triggered a 35x wagering requirement that needed to be completed before any withdrawal could be processed.

18 November 2025 — Your balance grew to approximately $300. During this time, you made four withdrawal attempts, all of which were unsuccessful — three before your deposit and one after.

18 November 2025 at 23:19 — The casino adjusted your balance to $120, as the funds were traced back to the original free spins win and the associated wagering requirement.

19 November 2025 — You successfully withdrew the $120.

The key issue here is the origin of your winnings. The balance you accumulated can be traced back to the $10 win from the free spins bonus, which carried a 35x wagering requirement. While you did make a deposit and place additional bets, this did not change the origin of the funds or remove the bonus conditions attached to them.

We understand this may not be the outcome you were hoping for, but based on our review of the game log, the casino acted within the terms of the bonus. We are therefore unable to support your complaint in this instance.

We are sorry we could not bring you a more favourable result this time.

NO!

The casino has completely frozen the 300 euros.

The 120 euros come from my 20 euro deposit and the sports betting.

They have nothing to do with it!

Dear Casino Team,

Could you please review the activity on Freemen123's account on 18 November 2025, specifically between 21:54 and midnight?

The player has indicated that funds were deducted from their account during this period, and I would like to investigate this further. I should also mention that I have noticed what appears to be a potential time shift between the transaction logs and the game logs, which is making it difficult to piece together an accurate timeline of events. Could you please clarify whether the timestamps in both logs are recorded in the same time zone, and if not, what the offset is?

Thank you for your assistance.

I already sent them all of that by email as a PDF attachment. It contains my log and details of how the amounts were accumulated, including the fact that the €300 were completely frozen and that I won the €120 on my own with the €20 sports bets. The €300 was not adjusted. As mentioned above, it was completely withheld and frozen.
