Dudespin Casino - Player's withdrawal is delayed due to bonus terms.

I had a real money balance at this casino and tried to withdraw it.

The casino did not allow me to withdraw my real money balance unless I accepted a bonus. At no point was I clearly, visibly, or explicitly informed that accepting the bonus would result in my entire real money balance being converted into bonus funds, nor that such a high wagering requirement would apply.

After accepting the bonus solely for the purpose of unlocking the withdrawal option, my entire real money balance was automatically converted into bonus balance, with an approximate wagering requirement of €2,500.

I immediately contacted live support requesting the removal of the bonus and the restoration of my original real money balance so I could proceed with the withdrawal. The support agent informed me that if I canceled the bonus, I would lose my entire balance, including any winnings that were originally from real money.

After this communication, the support chat was closed by the casino without any solution being offered to me.

I consider this practice to be deceptive and contrary to the principles of fair play, as I was forced to accept a bonus to withdraw my own funds without clear prior information about the consequences.

I request the removal of the bonus and the restoration of my original real money balance so that I can proceed with the withdrawal.
