The player from Bulgaria received misleading information regarding the wagering requirements of a €25 cash bonus after a €15 deposit at the online casino. Despite multiple attempts to clarify the conditions through live chat, email, and phone, she discovered that the actual wager requirement was €875, not the previously stated amount. The player was informed by the Complaints Team to contact the casino to request cancellation of the bonus or to proceed with the bonus if she wished. The complaint was ultimately closed due to the player's lack of response to further inquiries, with the option to reopen it in the future remaining available.

Hello, today I made a deposit of €15 at the online casino, where a wheel opened for me and from it I won a €25 cash bonus. I tried to carefully read the terms and conditions for this bonus, but I only found general explanations and examples. For more detailed information, I decided to contact the live chat. There I received a misleading answer that the bonus amount must be wagered once in order for the money in my account to become withdrawable. After activating the bonus, it turned out that I had to wager €875. I tried to contact the chat again, I also wrote an email, but I received unrelated answers or none at all. Then I called the phone number provided on their page. After a long discussion, they explained to me that the colleague had made a mistake by failing to mention 35, for which they apologized, and only after I asked what to do after she made a mistake. This was the information they could provide me at this stage. The conversation was recorded on both their side and mine.

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

TranslationI asked them what we were doing, since my colleague was wrong and if they would apologize to me. I got answers like: "This is the information and if you have any other questions, we will be happy to help you." I changed this slightly and on the 3rd or 4th time, asking the question: "Will they at least apologize to me?", I literally only got an "sorry" on the phone.
I don't think I need to ask for anything, given that he said it himself, that the colleague only forgot to mention 35 and made a mistake.

TranslationThe problem arose because of the possibility of choosing between two bonuses. Due to misleading information that was provided to me, I chose one bonus, which resulted in missing the opportunity to take advantage of the other, which offered a specific number of free spins on a specific game without the requirement to roll over the winnings. I believe that this is not just a mistake, but rather a targeted strategy. It is unrealistic to expect that 875 euros can be rolled over with 15 euros. Such an assumption would be extremely optimistic. The fact that I had to insist on even an apology does not dispel my doubts about the correctness of the situation.

Thanks for sharing your point of view and for your patience.
- Have you decided to play with the bonus after it was activated?
- Were the specific bonus terms for the bonuses not available to you before you chose between them?
- Was wagering information missing from either the bonus terms and conditions?
- Was the live chat your only source of information about the particulars of each bonus?
Please let me know.

TranslationNo further information was provided regarding the wagering requirements. It was only noted that the wagering requirement must be met before the bonus winnings can be withdrawn. As a result, I contacted customer service via live chat, where I was initially given misleading information and then ignored.

TranslationSo what should I do? Anyway, I had no other option after it was accepted, and the problem is more that they themselves admitted their mistake during the conversation, but it all ended there – they had nothing else to do. Which I don't think is right, given that you are obliging me with €15 to spin some cosmic amount before I can make a possible withdrawal. I could have at least gotten an apology.

TranslationIt cannot be withdrawn because they require you to wager the deposit you made at least once before you can make a withdrawal, and in my case I obliged myself to wager the deposit + bonus 35 times but because I was misled.

Thanks for your reply.
I would recommend you contact the casino and ask them to cancel the bonus. If you wish to play, I recommend you enjoy the bonus you were given.
We are unable to ask the casino to issue an apology on your behalf.
I wish we could be of more help.
Looking forward to your reply.
