Our verdict

Player stopped responding

Lucky Circus Casino
Safety Index:Very high

Case summary

The player from Germany received a €200 deposit bonus and won nearly €2,000, but the casino confiscated €1,600, stating a maximum winning limit of €365, which contradicted the bonus terms and conditions. After an investigation, a technical issue with the bonus engine was identified, and the casino re-added the deducted amount of €1,147.30 to her account. She was informed that she could continue playing or withdraw the funds. However, the complaint was ultimately closed due to a lack of response from her regarding the status of the funds.

I received a €200 deposit bonus and won almost €2,000. The bonus terms and conditions stated a maximum winning limit of 10 times the bonus amount. Nevertheless, the casino deleted €1,600, arguing that the maximum winnings were €365. This was clearly stated differently in the bonus's terms and conditions.

Hello,

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

In the general bonus terms, the payout limits from a bonus are the following:

1.5. Deposit Bonuses – Unless otherwise specified, deposit bonuses carry a 45x wagering requirement.Maximum win and withdrawal are capped at 10x the bonus amount.

Free Spins – Unless otherwise stated, all winnings from free spins are credited as a bonus balance. This bonus carries a 30x wagering requirement. After wagering is completed, the maximum withdrawable win is limited to 3x the bonus amount credited from the free spins.

No Deposit Bonuses – Unless stated otherwise, these come with a 50x wagering requirement and a maximum win/withdrawal of 2x the bonus amount.

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

  • Could you please share a link or a screenshot of the bonus you accepted and played? Were any free spins part of the promotion offer?
  • How did the casino justify the decision to cap your winnings to 365€?
  • What games did you play to accumulate your current balance in the casino? (slots, live games, betting on sports)
  • Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the issue? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at [email protected], or post screenshots here

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

Hello,


I'm attaching a screenshot of the offer I received via email. I didn't play any free spins, and the email explicitly stated that the maximum payout was 10x the bonus amount.


Unfortunately, the casino didn't provide any justification for the €365; they simply stated that it was correct. This contradicts their own terms and conditions.


I only played slots. I can't forward the communication because, unfortunately, I never received a reply via email. Live chat told me that their decision to reduce it to €365 was correct. There's been no further communication.


I deposited €50 and received a €200 bonus.

Thanks for sharing the evidence.

Could you please share evidence that the casino confiscated the 1600€ from your account, or that they only left 365 €?

From the description of the bonus, the contribution of the bonus money from the casino might have been 150€ only. Could you please confirm that the casino credited an extra 200€ in the beginning?

Was the deduction recorded in your transaction history?

Was the bonus contribution recorded in the transaction history?

I apologize for the inconvenience or for any misunderstanding.

Hello,




No, the deduction isn't noted in the transaction history. Here's a screenshot showing that only €365 remains.




Yes, I definitely received a €200 bonus. The bonus was also advertised as a 400% bonus.
