LetsLucky Casino - Player's winnings have been confiscated after bonus expiration.

Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: NZ$4,700

Safety Index:Above average

Case summary

The player from New Zealand filed a complaint against Let's Lucky Casino regarding the confiscation of her real-money winnings after her bonus had ended. She acknowledged exceeding the maximum bet limit during the bonus but asserted that her winnings following the bonus completion should not have been confiscated. Multiple withdrawal requests totaling NZD 4,700 were rejected, despite her confirming that the bonus terms had been fulfilled. We reviewed the game history provided and found that the maximum bet rule had been breached in a non-accidental manner, justifying the casino's enforcement of its bonus terms. The reversed withdrawals originated from winnings affected by the rule breach, and subsequent deposits and gameplay did not alter the legitimacy of the confiscation. Consequently, we rejected the complaint.

I am submitting a complaint against Let’s Lucky Casino regarding the confiscation of my real-money winnings after a bonus had already ended.


I acknowledge that I exceeded the NZD 8 maximum bet limit while the "First Deposit Bonus 150%" was active. I accept that winnings generated during bonus-active play may be forfeited under the bonus terms, and I am not disputing the forfeiture of bonus winnings.


However, after the bonus was completed, I continued playing using real funds only. My account transaction history and bonus page confirm that the "First Deposit Bonus 150%" shows "Wager done", with 1,895.25 / 1,800 NZD wagered, indicating the bonus had ended.


Following the bonus completion, I requested the following withdrawals, all of which were rejected:


• NZD 1,200 on 01 January 2026

• NZD 2,000 on 02 January 2026

• NZD 1,500 on 02 January 2026


These winnings were earned after the bonus had ended, with no active bonus and no wagering requirements.

Despite this, the casino confiscated all winnings without separating bonus-active winnings from post-bonus real-money winnings. The casino has repeatedly confirmed this as their final internal decision and refused to explain under which term post-bonus real-money winnings may be confiscated due to a prior bonus breach.


I respectfully request Casino Guru’s assistance in reviewing whether the confiscation of post-bonus real-money winnings is justified under the casino’s terms and fair gambling practices.


I have attached screenshots showing the bonus completion status, rejected withdrawals, and correspondence with the casino.

  • Could you please clarify whether there was any balance on your account when you made the deposit of 30 NZD? How much?

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

Dear Tomas,

Thank you for your response and for reviewing my complaint. I appreciate your assistance. Please find my answers below, addressing each of your questions clearly.


1. Maximum bet rule breach while wagering the bonus

I acknowledge that there may have been instances where a bet exceeded the €5 (or NZD equivalent) maximum while the First Deposit Bonus 150% was active. However, my concern is that all winnings were confiscated, including winnings that were generated after the bonus wagering had already ended and when no bonus was active on my account.

Specifically:


Approximately NZD 5,600 was won while the bonus was active (31 December).


Additional winnings were generated without any bonus active, including:


Around NZD 1,200 on 1 January


Further winnings on 2 January (approx. NZD 1,500–2,000)


Despite this, the casino removed the entire balance (approx. NZD 10,300), not only the bonus-related winnings.


2. Balance on my account at the time of the NZD 30 deposit

At the time I made the NZD 30 deposit, there was no active bonus balance remaining. My understanding was that the wagering requirements had already been completed, and subsequent play was conducted using real funds only. I did not intentionally wager above the maximum limit while believing a bonus was active.


3. Communication with the casino

I will forward all relevant email communications and screenshots of live chat conversations with LetsLucky Casino to your email address (tomas@casino.guru). These include:

The casino’s explanation citing the bonus maximum bet rule

Confirmation that the decision was marked as "final"

Evidence that winnings not related to the bonus were also confiscated

Please let me know if you require any additional clarification or documentation. I am confident that the confiscation of non-bonus winnings is unfair and not clearly supported by the Terms and Conditions.


Thank you again for your time and support. I look forward to your guidance on the next steps.


Kind regards,

Chalace ****

Thanks for the explanation.

Please note that breaching the maximum bet during the bonus wagering voids your balance or your winnings, depending on the policy of the casino.

If you continued to play with the balance that would have been voided in the first place, you played and won with money that didn't belong to you.

For us to investigate the incident further, we'll require game history from the time you accepted the bonus up to the point your balance was confiscated.

I would kindly ask you to request your game history from the relevant time period from casino support in Excel format.

Send it to me so we may review it. My email address is tomas@casino.guru

Hi


Thank you for your message and for explaining what you need to investigate the case.


I understand. I will provide my game history covering the full period from when I accepted the "First Deposit Bonus 150%" up to the point my balance was confiscated/adjusted.


At present, my account only shows a limited number of recent transactions, so I have already contacted Let’s Lucky support and requested the complete game/bet history for the relevant period in Excel (CSV/XLSX) format, including:


the exact timestamp the bonus was accepted/activated, and

the exact timestamp and entry showing the balance correction/confiscation.


As soon as I receive the Excel export from the casino, I will forward it to you immediately for review. In the meantime, if it helps, I can also send the transaction history I currently have access to as supporting information.


Kind regards,

Chalace

The casino has only provided game history for 30 December. My second deposit was made on 1 January, and no game history has been provided for this period or for post-bonus gameplay. I have formally requested full records from 1 January onward, as this period is critical to determining whether confiscated winnings were generated with or without bonus funds.

Thanks for your patience.

I went over the records you provided and must conclude the maximum bet rule was breached in a manner we can't conclude was accidental, and we believe the casino is justified in enforcing its bonus terms and conditions. We are unable to ask the casino to disregard purely bets where the bet amounts were higher.

We are unable to ask the casino to restore any of approximately 5900 NZD of your winnings visible in the records as a result, since any subsequent winnings appear to originate from the first deposit bonus, where the bonus terms and conditions were breached in the first place.

If there are any winnings as a result of your subsequent deposits, these are indeed not found in the records you provided already.

Please let me know whether any balance accrued after your 30 NZD deposit or any undisclosed deposit was affected.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Tomas,


Thank you for taking the time to review the records and for explaining your conclusion.


I would like to clarify an important point regarding the statement that no winnings resulting from subsequent deposits are found in the records I provided.


The reason these winnings are not visible is not because they did not occur, but because the casino has only supplied partial game history, starting from 30 December, despite my request for the full game history from the moment the first bonus was accepted through to the balance confiscation.


To clarify the timeline:

The First Deposit Bonus (150%) was accepted and wagered on 30–31 December.


A second deposit of NZD 30 was made on 1 January, after the bonus wagering had already been completed.


Additional gameplay and winnings occurred after this second deposit, without any active bonus.


These sessions are not included in the records provided by the casino so far.

As such, any conclusion that all subsequent winnings originate from the first deposit bonus is based on incomplete data, not on a full transactional record of my account activity.


I have repeatedly requested:

Full game history in Excel format

Deposit and withdrawal timestamps

Confirmation of bonus status at the time of each session


However, the casino has not yet supplied records covering gameplay after 1 January, which is precisely the period in question.


Please let me know:

Whether you can request or consider complete records directly from the casino, or

Whether I should first obtain the missing history from the casino and submit it for further review.


I am happy to cooperate fully and provide any additional documentation required, but I respectfully note that the absence of post-deposit winnings in the current records is due to missing data, not the absence of such winnings.


Thank you again for your time and consideration. I look forward to your guidance on the next steps.


Kind regards,

Chalace

Hello C.Ranginui,

We would like to update you that due to Tomas, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Tomas has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Tomas will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

Thanks for your patience.

I went over the file you shared with me.

I can see that on page 15, your 30 NZD deposit is credited and you continue to play with said balance.

However, on page 20, the balance is spent, and an additional 600 NZD is credited, which doesn't originate from winnings made that day.

Could you please explain whether this is a new deposit or whether any previous withdrawal requests from previous days were canceled?

Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Tomas,

Thank you for reviewing the file and for your message.

Regarding the balance shown in the records, the additional 600 NZD and 800 NZD both come from reversed withdrawals.

To clarify:

On page 15, I made a 30 NZD deposit and continued playing with that balance.

I had previously requested withdrawals, which were later reversed/canceled.

When those withdrawals were reversed, the funds (600 NZD and 800 NZD) were returned to my account.

These amounts were not new deposits and were not winnings made on those days.

I did not make any new deposits at that time.

If needed, I can provide screenshots of my withdrawal history to confirm this.

Please let me know if you require any further information.

Kind regards,

Chalace

Hi Tomas,

Just to add to my previous message, I would also like to clarify that I made another 30 NZD deposit on 1 January.

This deposit is separate from the reversed withdrawals (600 NZD and 800 NZD) and is shown in my transaction history.

I have included this in the screenshots provided for clarity.

Please let me know if you need any further information from me.

Kind regards,

Chalace

Thanks for the confirmation.

Sadly, reversed withdrawals coming from winnings affected by the previously broken rules mean we can't support your case further. Kindly recognize that these reversed withdrawals would have been confiscated. With your new deposit, you played and lost and were forced to reverse withdrawals. With all circumstances regarding your gameplay known, there is no room for us to argue that the winnings achieved before the confiscation are legitimate.

Thanks for your understanding.

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.
