Hello Patrick11w34,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case, and I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter and to see if I can help somehow.

We would like to invite Koru Casino to join the conversation.

Dear Koru Casino,

Kindly provide me with any evidence supporting the alleged violations of your terms and conditions, of which the player is being accused. You can send the information and evidence to me via email at michal.k@casino.guru for an independent review.

Thank you in advance.

Hello Michal,

Thank you for taking over this case.

We have provided the relevant information and supporting documentation by email and will await your review.

Please let us know if anything further is required from our side.

Dear Patrick11w34,

I have received information and supporting evidence indicating that the disputed winnings indeed originated from a previously claimed bonus.

I am currently awaiting the casino’s response to clarify the full course of events, which should also help provide you with a better understanding of the matter.

Dear Koru Casino,

Thank you for your email. I have replied and am now awaiting your response.

Ok orginal win no bonus at all..

Hello Patrick11w34 and Michal,

We would like to provide a brief overview of this case to clarify the circumstances behind the balance correction.

First of all, we would like to emphasize that this case does not involve any violation of the Terms and Conditions by the player. The balance was not corrected due to misconduct or any breach of the rules. Instead, the correction resulted solely from the application of the applicable Bonus Terms governing the maximum withdrawal.

The player received winnings originating from the VIP Spins Ladder 50 FS Result bonus in the amount of 21.20 AUD. Under the applicable Bonus Terms, the standard maximum withdrawal for this bonus was 212 AUD (10x the bonus amount).

However, after reviewing the player's activity, a discretionary decision was made to allow the player to withdraw 750 AUD, which significantly exceeded the maximum withdrawal that would normally have applied under the Bonus Terms.

We hope this clarifies how the balance correction was determined. Should any further clarification be required, we will be happy to provide it.

Yes but prior to activating 50 spins my balance was already over 1000 aud.

Throughout the session my balance increased to over 3000 aud 50 spins was taken while balance was around 1400 aud.

Are you saying that if i had 10k in funds and i took a bonus you would take the entire 10k doesnt make sense.

Dear Koru Casino,

Thank you for your response.

Could you please confirm and provide supporting evidence regarding the player’s account balance prior to the activation of the VIP Spins Ladder 50 FS bonus?

As the player has stated that they held real-money funds at that time, I would like to verify whether the balance consisted of genuine real-money funds, or whether it was derived from or connected to an active or previous bonus (either directly or indirectly).

Dear Michal,

The requested information has been provided to you via internal communication for review. We are awaiting your feedback and decision on the matter.

Dear Koru Casino,

Thank you for your email and for providing the evidence. However, it did not include the specific evidence I previously requested.

I have once again specified the evidence I need to review in order to verify the course of events. I would appreciate it if you could provide the requested information at your earliest convenience.

Dear Patrick11w34,

To answer your question, there is a reason why mixing funds can be an important factor in bonus-related disputes.

In general, if a player already has a real-money balance before activating a bonus, those funds should not be affected by the bonus terms, provided they have not been used in connection with the bonus gameplay.

However, many casinos prohibit mixing real-money and bonus funds because it can make it difficult to distinguish which funds were used during bonus play. In some cases, if a player uses an existing real-money balance to complete the bonus wagering requirements after claiming a bonus, the casino may consider this to be a breach of the bonus terms, as the wagering was not completed solely with the bonus funds. Depending on the casino's terms and conditions, this may result in the bonus winnings being voided or capped.

I'm not saying this was your case, as the casino team mentioned the adjustment of the winnings was not due to any rule violation, but solely based on the maximum win limit associated with the specific bonus.

I trust that once I receive the requested evidence from the casino, I will be able to provide more detailed information.

Thanks i understand this. that being said max to confiscate should be the 212 as a result of bonus, i would also like to add it happened very fast like within minutes. 🤔

Thank you for providing all the information and evidence related to this case, Koru Casino.

Dear Patrick11w34,

I have now received your complete game log and reviewed the sequence of events, including when the bonuses were credited, your account balances before claiming the bonuses and after the bonus wagering was completed, and the winnings you accumulated.

Based on the evidence provided, the facts differ from what you previously described. Specifically, before the VIP Spins Ladder 50 FS bonus (AUD 21.20) and the Level 4 FS Result (AUD 3.12) were credited to your account, your non-bonus (real money) balance was only AUD 2.06, rather than, as you stated, that "prior to activating 50 spins my balance was already over 1000 AUD."

This is supported by the recorded total account balance of AUD 26.38 on 2026-05-10 at 11:14:44, which corresponds to the combined value of your real-money balance and the subsequently credited bonus funds.

Based on this evidence, it is quite evident that the winnings in dispute originated from the VIP Spins Ladder 50 FS Result bonus, because even your first bet that you placed at that time was in the amount of AUD 4, which would not be possible if you had used only the remaining real money funds. Consequently, the applicable bonus terms, including the maximum withdrawal limit for winnings derived from bonus play, were fully applicable in this case.

As previously explained by the casino, under the applicable Bonus Terms, the standard maximum withdrawal from this bonus was AUD 212 (10× the bonus amount).

However, after reviewing your gameplay, the casino exercised its discretion and allowed you to withdraw AUD 750, which substantially exceeded the maximum withdrawal that would normally have been permitted under the Bonus Terms. This was purely a gesture of goodwill on the casino's part, as you were not entitled to receive any amount exceeding the maximum withdrawal limit set out in the applicable bonus terms, which you accepted upon registering your account and claiming the bonus.

As an independent entity, I have reviewed all the gathered information and evidence from both sides thoroughly. I have not identified any grounds to consider the casino’s actions in violation of their applicable rules, industry-standard or fair practices.

Please let me know if I can consider this matter sufficiently clarified/resolved or if you need assistance with anything else.

Please fwd me the details provided as i beleive its untrue.. not what happened at all..

Koru is treating me like a fool i can gaurantee i am not..

Casino guru is a paid website dont be prepared to get any help here

Dear Patrick11w34,

While you are certainly entitled to your opinion regarding this situation, this does not necessarily mean that it reflects the correct interpretation of the facts or the outcome supported by the available evidence.

As explained above, I have provided you with the outcome of our investigation in our capacity as an independent dispute mediator, and at this stage, there is little more I can add.

As an independent entity, we have thoroughly reviewed all available information and evidence provided by both parties. Based on this review, we have not identified any grounds to conclude that the casino acted in breach of its applicable rules, industry standards, or fair practices.

On the contrary, the evidence confirms that the casino exercised its discretion by allowing you to withdraw AUD 750, which was significantly higher than the maximum withdrawal amount that would normally have applied under the applicable Bonus Terms.

Consequently, I have no alternative but to close this case as Rejected.

You certainly have the right to disagree with this conclusion and can reach out to the casino licensing authority or the appropriate authority in your jurisdiction if you still feel justified in your position, but we are unable to offer any additional assistance regarding this issue. Feel free to let me know of the authorities' decision, should you opt for this route at michal.k@casino.guru.

Should you encounter any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please feel free to reach out to us, and we will try our best to help.

Best regards,

Michal
