Case summary

The player from Finland reported that the casino confiscated €530 in bonus winnings, citing "reasonable suspicion of bonus abuse" without providing specific details. Despite multiple requests for individualized explanations about the alleged violations, he received only general references to the terms of service. The player clarified that the issue concerned a 100% sports betting bonus, where he deposited €50, received a €50 bonus, and won about €500 that was subsequently confiscated. The complaint was rejected by the Complaints Team because the case involved sports betting, an area outside their expertise and scope for resolution. The player was informed that the team could not assist with sports betting disputes.

The casino confiscated around €530 in bonus winnings from me, even though I had met the wagering requirements for the bonus. The operator has justified the decision with the general reference of "reasonable suspicion of bonus abuse".

The problem is that I have not been given any individualized or condition-based explanation, even though I have requested it several times via email and live chat.

The operator has not told:

What specific terms of service do they think I have violated?

What specific bets or actions are considered bonus abuse?

What period or events are the suspicion based on?

In live chat, I was told that I had "already received a response," but the email I received only contained a general reference to the terms of service, without any detailed or case-specific information.

I understand that bonus funds are subject to terms and conditions, but I find it a serious problem that the player is not given the opportunity to understand or respond to the allegations when funds are confiscated.

It was a 100% bonus for betting and I only played betting.


I deposited real money 50e and got a 50e bonus. I won about 500e with that money and the winnings were confiscated from me.

Thank you, Kake95, for your response. Unfortunately, since you have clarified that the issue solely pertains to sports betting, we regret to inform you that we are unable to assist you in this matter. We sincerely apologize for our inability to resolve your case. However, please feel free to reach out to us if you encounter any issues with other casinos in the future. Since we currently do not have a department specifically dedicated to sports betting disputes and lack sufficient expertise in handling such cases, we are regrettably unable to proceed with your complaint. I genuinely wish I could have been of more assistance.

Thank you for your understanding, and please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any further questions or concerns. Meanwhile, I'm forced to reject your complaint at this time.

Best regards

Attila
