Case summary

The player from Portugal reported that his winnings had been confiscated after he completed the bonus wagering requirement and cleared the bonus balance. Although he believed the bonus terms were ambiguous regarding subsequent winnings, the casino maintained their stance. He sought an independent review and the return of his confiscated winnings. The complaint was resolved after the casino returned the previously confiscated winnings to the player with a 1x wagering requirement. The player confirmed receipt of the funds, and the case was closed by the Complaints Team.

Complaint:


I am submitting this complaint regarding the confiscation of my winnings after completing a bonus wagering requirement.


I accepted a bonus and fully completed the wagering requirements. After completion, the bonus balance became €0 and my account balance was already adjusted to the €525 maximum cashout limit.


After the bonus wagering was finished and the balance converted to real funds, I continued playing and generated additional winnings using what appeared to be real money.


Later, the casino confiscated the amount exceeding the bonus cap, claiming that Section 16 of the Bonus Terms applies to all winnings regardless of subsequent gameplay.


My position is that:


The wagering requirements were fully completed


The bonus balance was already cleared


The cap had already been applied


Subsequent winnings were generated after the bonus cycle ended


The wording of the bonus terms is ambiguous regarding winnings obtained after full wagering completion and balance conversion.


I have contacted support multiple times, but they maintain their position without addressing the timeline shown in my account history.


I am requesting an independent review of this case and a fair reassessment of the confiscated winnings.


I can provide full screenshots and account history upon request.


Desired resolution: Payment of the confiscated winnings

Dear Danko,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience with Ignibet. Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.

Were you informed at any point that the bonus terms and conditions remain applicable even after the wagering requirement has been completed?

Could you please confirm whether your casino account balance was divided into real money and bonus money balances?

Did the balance you continued playing with appear as "withdrawable"/"real money", or were your winnings still displayed in the bonus balance?

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,

Attila

Dear Attila,


Thank you for your reply and for looking into my case.


To answer your questions:


1 - No, I was never informed that the bonus terms would continue to apply after the wagering requirement had been fully completed. At no point did the system notify me that the 5x withdrawal limit would still apply after the wagering was finished.


2- After completing the wagering requirement, the bonus balance was reduced to €0 and my balance had already been adjusted to the maximum allowed amount (€525), which corresponds to 5x the €105 bonus.

From that point onward, the balance appeared to me as normal playable funds, and the wagering progress had already been completed at 100%. The bonus was no longer active in the bonus section of the account.

Because of this, I reasonably understood that I was playing with real money funds after the wagering had ended.


3- Only after I later requested a withdrawal did the casino remove additional funds from my balance and state that the 5x bonus cap still applied, even to winnings obtained after the wagering had already been completed.

My concern is that the bonus terms only refer to winnings obtained while wagering the bonus, and they do not clearly state that the withdrawal cap continues to apply after the wagering requirement is finished and the bonus balance is already cleared.


For this reason, I believe the rule was applied in a way that is at least ambiguous and potentially misleading for players.


I also previously provided screenshots showing that the balance moved from the bonus balance to the real balance, which further reinforced my understanding that the bonus cycle had ended and that I was playing with real money funds.


Please let me know if you need any additional information or screenshots from my account history.

Thank you again for your assistance.


Best regards,

Dear Attila,

Thank you for your reply.


I have attached the requested screenshots for your review.


The wagering requirement for the bonus was completed on 27/02. At the moment the wagering was completed, the bonus balance was reduced to €0 and my account balance was adjusted to €525, which appeared in my account as real/withdrawable balance.


From that point onward, I continued playing with what was displayed as real funds in my account. The screenshots I provided show that the balance moved from the bonus balance to the real balance after the wagering was completed.


I was not informed at any time that the maximum cashout rule would continue to apply after the wagering requirement had already been completed and the bonus balance had reached €0.


The link/screenshot of the bonus and the relevant bonus terms have also been included in the attachments for your reference.


Please let me know if you need any additional information from my side.


Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

Dear Danko,

Thank you for your response. I would appreciate it if you could confirm the amount of your winnings before the application of the second max cash out cap. Were they subsequently reduced to €525 again?

Thank you in advance for your response.

Dear Attila,


Thank you for your message.

Yes, I can confirm that before the second application of the maximum cashout limit, my account balance had reached approximately €2200.


After I attempted to withdraw, the balance was reduced again to €525 due to the maximum cashout rule.

As mentioned previously, this happened after the wagering requirement had already been fully completed and the bonus balance had been reduced to €0, with the remaining €525 displayed as real/withdrawable balance.

Please let me know if you need any further information.


Best regards,
