Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €10,000

Koru Casino
Safety Index:Above average

Case summary

The player from Germany had successfully verified his account but faced issues when attempting to withdraw €3,000, which was declined. The casino then withdrew his entire €10,000 balance, claiming a maximum win limit, which he could not find in their terms and conditions. Despite contacting support for clarification, he was left with only €250 and received no resolution. We reviewed the casino's bonus terms and conditions and determined that the maximum win limit of 10 times the bonus amount had been correctly applied after wagering was completed. The casino's actions were considered compliant with their bonus rules and not unfair. Consequently, the complaint was rejected.

I successfully verified my account at this casino as required. I then attempted to withdraw €3,000 initially, as support stated there was a weekly limit of €3,000. However, this withdrawal was subsequently declined, and they also withdrew my entire €10,000 balance, leaving me with only €250. The casino claimed there was a maximum win limit mentioned in their terms and conditions. I read these terms, but there was no mention of a maximum win limit. I repeatedly contacted support requesting a copy of the section detailing this limit, but it doesn't exist. In the end, they simply withheld €10,000, even though it was real money. Support repeatedly assured me that nothing was preventing the withdrawal, yet they still took everything.


I need help 😓🙏

Good day


I had an active bonus, but it worked like this: after I deposited €25, bonus money was immediately credited to my account. In the top right corner of the casino, there was a display showing how much real money and bonus money I had. I had to wager this amount to withdraw it, which I managed very successfully. I then verified my account because they required it. After submitting everything, my withdrawal was repeatedly rejected because they kept asking for something new. In the end, they simply withdrew all my money, leaving me with only €250 instead of €10,000. And no, I didn't receive any free spins from the casino without making a deposit, nor did I use any free spins. I simply deposited my €25 and played with that amount. I complained to support several times, and they said I had exceeded a bonus maximum win limit. I then read the terms and conditions myself and found something about that as well.


1.8. The maximum withdrawal limit from no deposit free spins is 50 EUR/USD/CHF, 500 NOK, and 75 CAD/NZD/AUD. The maximum withdrawal from a no deposit bonus is limited to 10 times the bonus amount (x10), unless otherwise stated in the bonus offer. An exception may be made for loyal players; in the event of a win, the maximum win amount may be increased. To request a withdrawal, you must fully verify your account and make a minimum deposit. The maximum win is limited to 10 times the bonus amount (x10), unless otherwise stated in the bonus offer. This means that the maximum win from a deposit bonus is calculated as the bonus amount credited to the player multiplied by the maximum win multiplier (x10 by default). Maximum winnings from deposit free spins may not exceed 10 times (x10) the bonus amount received during the free spins game.


If I understand this text correctly, I could be completely wrong, but I understand it to mean that if you activate free spins and then use them, the casino can only pay out a maximum of 10 times the winnings. But I didn't have any free spins, so that should be completely irrelevant for me.


My only concern is that I feel cheated and that 10,000 euros have been stolen from me. It's extremely upsetting to lose such a large sum of money after such an incident.


I hope something can be done about it.

Dear SwordartOnline,

Thank you for your reply and for providing the additional information. We truly understand how disappointing this situation must feel, especially after completing the full wagering requirement.

After carefully reviewing all the information you shared, we unfortunately have to conclude that the casino appears to have acted in line with its Bonus Terms and Conditions:

1.8. The maximum withdrawal limit from no deposit free spins is 50 EUR/USD/CHF, 500 NOK, 75 CAD/NZD/AUD. The maximum withdrawal from a no deposit bonus is limited to x10 the bonus amount unless otherwise stated in the bonus offer. An exception can be made for loyal players, and in case of winning, the maximum win amount can be increased. To request a withdrawal, you must fully verify your account and make a minimum deposit. The maximum win is limited to 10x the bonus amount, unless otherwise stated in the bonus offer. It means that the maximum win of a deposit bonus is calculated as the bonus money the player receives multiplied by a maximum win coefficient (x10 by default). The maximum winnings from deposit Free Spins cannot exceed x10 of the bonus amount received as a result of the Free Spins play.


I would like to emphasize that, according to our Fair Gambling Codex https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#win-limits, win limits are considered unfair and predatory only when applied to real money games. We do, however, accept bonus terms and conditions that restrict the maximum cash out from bonus play.


When you completed the wagering requirements of your bonus, the cap was not applied immediately. Some casinos apply the maximum winnings cap only when a withdrawal is requested. At the time you finished wagering, you should have been left with a maximum of €250. Continuing to play with a higher sum meant that any additional balance was effectively virtual and not real money. Consequently, all subsequent winnings generated from this bonus are also subject to the bonus cap.

Since the casino applied the correct maximum win cap when you requested the withdrawal, we cannot consider their actions to be unfair.


Due to the aforementioned reasons, we will now proceed to reject this complaint. Thank you for your understanding. I am genuinely sorry that we were not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as we always aim to help players resolve their issues whenever possible.

Please remember that you are welcome to contact us again if you run into any problems with this or any other casino in the future. Whether it is a question, a concern or a new issue that needs to be looked into, our team is here and ready to support you.

Best regards,

Attila
