I am a resident of Cyprus and my username on the platform is shellypop. I am filing a formal complaint against GambleZen Casino for the unfair and deceptive confiscation of €89.05 in my active bonus funds.
According to Section 6 of GambleZen's general public Bonus Terms, all bonuses are valid for 10 days after activation 'unless otherwise specified'. I was actively playing with this bonus, but after precisely 24 hours, my entire remaining balance of €89.05 was automatically wiped out and set to zero by the system.
When I contacted customer support, the agent informed me that the funds expired because this specific offer fell under the 'MAP DAY' promotion rules, which carry a strict 24-hour validity window. Crucially, the support team explicitly admitted in writing during our chat session that the casino 'does not have a separate clause in the general rules' stating this 24-hour limit. Instead, they claimed the limit is only visible inside the private 'Bonuses' account sub-menu after the bonus has already been activated.
Hiding a critical time restriction and only making it visible post-activation completely violates basic player protection and consumer transparency guidelines. A player cannot give informed consent if the rules are hidden until after their money is committed. Because the casino's own support team confirmed this 24-hour restriction is entirely absent from their public written terms, I request that GambleZen management honor their general framework, restore the €89.05 to my balance, and grant me a fair window to complete the wagering. I have full emailed chat transcripts and profile balance screenshots ready to provide to the mediator.
