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.

Hello,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Gamblezen Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

  • Could you please clarify how the information about the expiration of the bonus was displayed in the bonus section of your account tab from your point of view?
  • Is there any active bonus on your account that would allow us to view the visible information about an active bonus?
  • Could you please specify whether it was necessary for you to make a deposit in order to activate the bonus?
  • Send the information to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

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.

Best regards,

Tomas
