Dear Samuel, Dear Player,
Thank you for the detailed information provided. We have reviewed the case, including the bonus history, transaction history and relevant game records.
We understand the player's concerns regarding the later deposits, gameplay and timestamps. However, our review does not support the claim that the confiscation resulted from a technical error or manipulation of the player's account.
Please find our position below:
1. Bonus play and maximum stake violation
The player activated a PLN 4,000 (EUR 1,000) bonus on August 7, 2026.
According to our system records, the bonus play started at 15:58 UTC (17:58 Polish time) and the wagering requirement was completed at 16:31 UTC (18:31 Polish time).
During the bonus wagering period, the player placed multiple bets on Sizzling Hot Deluxe exceeding the applicable PLN 8 maximum stake, including:
20 bets of PLN 20, 46 bets of PLN 50, 163 bets of PLN 100, 245 bets of PLN 200, 104 bets of PLN 500
These bets were made using bonus funds and constituted the relevant violation of the promotional terms.
Importantly, later bets placed using real-money funds were not themselves classified as maximum-stake violations. The decision was based on the bets exceeding the limit while bonus funds were being used.
2. Subsequent gameplay and deposits (What happened to the funds afterwards)
The player's later gameplay is an important part of understanding the outcome.
We acknowledge that the player continued playing after the bonus wagering was completed and made additional real-money deposits.
These subsequent deposits were not themselves treated as bonus funds, nor were the subsequent high-value bets classified as additional maximum-stake violations.
The relevant issue is the origin of the funds used for the subsequent gameplay.
The player had generated funds during the bonus cycle in which the maximum-stake restriction was breached. Those funds were subsequently used for further gameplay, resulting in the disputed winnings of PLN 36,986.51.
Therefore, the fact that the player subsequently continued playing or made additional deposits does not reverse the earlier violation or make the winnings generated through the continued use of the affected funds independently valid.
3. Clarification regarding timestamps
We would also like to clarify the player's allegation concerning different timestamps.
Our operational system records are stored in UTC, while the corresponding times displayed or understood by the player may reflect the local time on his device.
The relevant timestamps are:
15:58 UTC = 17:58 Polish time — bonus play started
16:31 UTC = 18:31 Polish time — bonus wagering was completed
Therefore, the apparent difference between the times referred to by the player and those contained in our records can be explained by the UTC vs. Polish local-time presentation, rather than by any alteration of the records.
Our assessment of the disputed bets is based on the operational timestamps recorded by the system and
the decision was based on the recorded bonus activity, transaction history and game logs.
Conclusion
In summary, the case is not about whether the player made subsequent deposits or whether he later played with what he understood to be cash funds.
The later real-money deposits and gameplay were not themselves classified as maximum-stake violations.
The basis of the decision was the earlier breach of the maximum-stake restriction while bonus funds were being used, and the subsequent use of funds generated through that non-compliant bonus gameplay.
Applicable Terms & Conditions:
19. Regulations regarding bonuses:
Point 4. (...) Bonuses are awarded as part of the conditions contained in the Regulations of individual Lemon Casino promotions.
Point 6. If a Player violates any of these restrictions, Lemon Casino reserves the right to suspend payments and confiscate all winnings.
Point 10. Before processing any withdrawal, gameplay will be reviewed for irregular patterns. Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the promotional terms and conditions, the maximum stake allowed (including features such as bonus buy, gamble options, or mini-games) cannot exceed 2 € in total stake of a single spin and/or 0.20 € per line, while wagering requirements are active. If you place a stake higher than the allowed limit during this time, Lemon Casino reserves the right to confiscate all winnings and bonus funds related to that bonus, including any winnings generated from compliant bets. This means any winnings from the bonus will be forfeited, and you will not be able to withdraw those funds(...)"
We hope this answered all questions sufficiently. We remain fully cooperative with the Casino Guru team and are happy to provide the relevant records needed to independently verify the bonus timeline and the disputed gameplay.
Kind regards,
Casino Representative
