Case summary

The player from Norway faced issues with a withdrawal after converting comp points, which led to a dramatic reduction of his balance from 500 NZD to 60 NZD. Despite several attempts to resolve the matter with casino support, they claimed this action aligned with their rules, which he believed was fraudulent and unclear. The complaint was resolved after the casino acknowledged the balance deduction was due to a technical error and restored the full 500 NZD to the player's account without wagering requirements. Additionally, a compensation bonus of free spins was credited to the player. The casino committed to improving their procedures to prevent similar errors, and the player confirmed the issue was resolved.

I made several real money deposits(no bonus/promo) to the casino. On last deposit, I spun my balance up to 600 NZD. At this point I converted 300 comppoints for 6 NZD (making my balance 606 NZD approximately.

I then played on, lost a little, making my balance 500 NZD in the end (100 less than when I exchanged the comp points).

I requested withdrawal. Withdrawal was cancelled and casino reduced my balance to 60 NZD. From 500 NZD.

I immediately contacted live support, and explained what had happened. After several live chat sessions and emails, the casino emailed me that what they had done is in line with casino rules (which of course it isnt). Nowhere in their rules it is stated that by accepting a promo (exchanging comppoints) one forefeits ones real money balance.

What they are essentially now claiming is that by exchanging these comp points, I forefeited my real money balance of 600 NZD, for a max withdrawal of 60 NZD. Even though I did not win on these 6 NZD from the comp points and lost 100 from my real money.

A pure scam without any doubt.

I ask for casino.gurus help to have casino re-instate my real money balance, or please act upon the casino to reflect their fraudulent nature.

Any documentation from my account, or communication with casino, can be provided.


Best regards

Hi Tomas, and thank you for assisting me in this case.


1. My account is open and accessible.


2. I can show with screenshots that my balance was reduced from 500 NZD to 60 NZD. The Softswiss software doesnt allow game history more than recent 50 spins, so I cant show evidence that I had 600 NZD real money when exchanging comp points.

However, the casino, as you will see from email communication, dont dispute the facts. It appears they are of the opinion that I by exchanging comp points for 6 NZD, forefeited my real money balance of 600 NZD, for a potential max win/withdrawal of 60 NZD.

They also, mistakenly, are of the opinion their terms support this.


3. I will immediately screenshot my email thread with them and send you.


Best regards

Player: Kurt Andre Skimmeland

Dear Casino Guru Team,

Thank you for forwarding this complaint and for your patience while we investigated.

Following an internal review, we confirmed that the deduction applied to the player's winnings was the result of a technical error: a partial deduction was intended, but due to a system malfunction the full amount was mistakenly deducted from the player's balance instead.

We take full responsibility for this error and have already taken the following corrective steps:

The full amount of 500 NZD has been credited back to the player's real balance, free of any wagering requirements.

An additional Loyalty Free Spins bonus has been credited to the player's account as compensation for the inconvenience caused.

The player is now free to play with these funds or submit a withdrawal request at his convenience.

We have already carried out internal work within the team to improve our procedures and ensure that similar errors do not recur in the future.

We kindly ask the player to log into his account to confirm that everything is now in order, and to let us know if there is anything else we can help him with.

Thank you for your assistance in facilitating a fair resolution.

Best regards,
