Case summary

The player from Switzerland is facing issues with withdrawing CHF 459 after canceling a non-sticky bonus at Jokery casino, which he claims violated no terms. Despite successfully completing the KYC process, the casino alleges he breached bonus terms and has canceled his withdrawal, leaving only his initial deposit in his account.

Hello, I made my first deposit at Jokery using the 200% non-sticky bonus with no maximum cashout. The terms and conditions clearly stated that it was a non-sticky bonus, explaining that real money would be deducted first, followed by the bonus money. When I deposited, the bonus was activated immediately, so I had no option to activate it after using up my real money balance. I won with my real money and never accessed the bonus funds. After winning CHF 459, I canceled the bonus and withdrew the CHF 459 after successfully completing the tedious KYC process. Now the casino has emailed me claiming I violated the bonus terms because I canceled the bonus and then withdrew without fulfilling the wagering requirements. They have canceled my withdrawal, and only my initial deposit of CHF 55 remains in my account. The bonus was advertised as a non-sticky bonus. I've always done it this way at countless casinos when I've won with real money, and there have never been any problems (at partner casinos and crab casinos from the same brand as Jokery). Screenshots are attached. Thank you for your help. I have more screenshots I could upload, but I've reached the maximum number.

Hello,

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

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

  • Is your player's account accessible to you?
  • Is there any evidence that you achieved the winnings without the help of bonus money? Was the wagering progress of the bonus 0%
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, betting on sports)

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

Good day


I submitted a request to the casino a few days ago asking them to send me my gaming history, but unfortunately, I haven't received a response yet. I find it a bit odd that the history isn't directly accessible on the website and that you have to request it first. However, as you can see in my screenshot, I canceled the bonus and submitted a withdrawal request with my real money balance, which was then rejected. I still have access to my account, but it only shows my initial deposit of 55 CHF. I only played slots like Great Game Rockies, Club Tropicana Happy Hour, and Le Hooligan. I also saw on your website that other players had the exact same problem with Jokery as I did, and in their cases, their winnings were eventually restored and paid out. Thank you, and please feel free to contact me if you have any further questions. You will find more screenshots attached. Regards.

12/23 In the case the Player has real money and bonus money in their account, real money gets exhausted first. As soon as bonus money is lost, the bonus is also lost.

Guten Tag


Hier wäre sonst noch die Mail die ich an das Support Team geschrieben habe. Leider habe ich diesbezüglich auch keine Antwort erhalten.



Dear Support Team,

I would like to request a review of my withdrawal, as I believe there has been a misunderstanding regarding the application of the 200% non-sticky bonus.

I deposited CHF 55 and received the 200% non-sticky bonus immediately after making the deposit. The bonus was activated automatically, and I was never given the option to activate it later.

My understanding of a non-sticky bonus is that I should be able to play with my own deposited funds first. Any winnings generated while playing with my real money should remain withdrawable, regardless of whether I have completed the bonus wagering requirements, as long as I have not yet started using the bonus balance.

This understanding is also supported by your Terms and Conditions, which state that the real money balance is used before the bonus balance. Since I had not even reached the bonus funds, all of my winnings were generated exclusively from my deposited money.

I requested a withdrawal of CHF 459, but it was rejected because I had not completed the bonus wagering requirements. This does not make sense in the context of a non-sticky bonus.

Furthermore, if the bonus is activated automatically immediately after the deposit, it is impossible for the player to avoid having an active bonus while playing with their own money. If players had the option to activate the bonus later, then this rule would make sense, because they could first finish playing with their real balance before choosing to activate the bonus. However, since the bonus is activated instantly and automatically, the player has no control over this.

I have played at many other partner casinos that offer the exact same type of non-sticky bonus. In every single case, I was able to withdraw winnings made from my real money without completing the bonus wagering requirements, provided I had not yet started using the bonus funds. This is standard behavior for a non-sticky bonus and is exactly why I chose to play under this promotion.

For these reasons, I kindly ask you to review my case again and reconsider your decision. Rejecting my withdrawal under these circumstances contradicts both the expected functionality of a non-sticky bonus and the rule that real money is used before bonus funds.

I appreciate your time and look forward to your response.

Kind regards,

Hello,


Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this matter.


After reviewing the customer's account activity, we can confirm that the customer successfully claimed and received the First Deposit Bonus.


Upon activation of the promotion, the customer began the wagering process, which requires both the deposited funds and the bonus funds to be wagered in accordance with the bonus terms and conditions.


However, before completing the wagering requirements, the customer chose to cancel the active bonus. A pop-up notification was displayed to inform the customer about the active bonus and provide an opportunity to confirm their decision before proceeding. As per the agreed Terms and Conditions states: "The Player can request a withdrawal of their deposit before meeting the requirements for bonus wagering. In this case, the amount of the bonus winnings are void, and the remaining funds, if any, are paid to the player."


By cancelling the active bonus before completing the wagering requirements, the customer forfeited the promotion. Consequently, all bonus funds, together with any winnings generated while the bonus was active, were voided in accordance with the Terms and Conditions in place.


We would also like to clarify that there are currently no pending withdrawals on the account, only the returned deposit.


Should be any questions, we remain open for further clarifications and information if necessary.


Kind regards,

Jokery Team

Good day


Thank you for your clarification, but as I already stated, I won my winnings with real money, not bonus money. If it were a sticky bonus, I wouldn't be able to submit a withdrawal request at all. However, I won real money with my 55 CHF deposit, giving me 459 CHF in real money. I submitted a withdrawal request, which you canceled, and only my deposit amount is back in my account. Your explanation doesn't make sense. If I don't reach the bonus amount and cancel the bonus, it's logical that my bonus money would be deducted, but why should my real money winnings be deducted? That makes absolutely no sense. Furthermore, several players have had the same problem as me. For example, one player here on Casino Guru had the same issue with your casino, and you restored his winnings. I request that you clarify this again, as I am certain I am in the right. The screenshots are attached from the player who had the exact same problem as me.

Here you can see the exact same problem from another player; you eventually transferred the money to him.

Thank you
