Luckygem Casino - Player's withdrawal has been delayed and winnings confiscated.

Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €5,000

Luckygem Casino
Safety Index 6.2 Below average

Case summary

The player from the Netherlands had won a total of €5,300 after using a €25 bonus but had his withdrawal requests of €5,000 and €300 rejected due to reaching a maximum limit. He was waiting for a new withdrawal request after winning again, but he was frustrated that the previous winnings of €4,050 had not been paid out despite completing the wagering requirements. We reviewed the evidence provided by the casino and confirmed that the player's winnings had been capped at 50 times the bonus amount (€1,250) once, in accordance with the casino's terms and conditions. The player’s balance was adjusted accordingly, and subsequent withdrawals were processed without issue. Therefore, the complaint was rejected as the casino acted within its stated rules.

I received a €25 bonus cash from the VIP department. With that, I won between €200 and €350. The wagering requirements were also completed. After that, the bonus amount was converted into real money. I continued playing and won a total of €5,300. I submitted a withdrawal request for €5,000 and then €300.


The next day when I checked, the €300 withdrawal was rejected, and two hours later the €5,000 was also rejected. I checked my balance and saw that there was only €1,250 left. I contacted the VIP department. They told me that I had reached the maximum limit and that this was the amount I was allowed to withdraw.


I told them that I did not agree. I also asked if, in case I win again, I would then be able to withdraw everything. They said yes, that I could decide myself what to do with the remaining €1,250.


I continued playing and won €5,000 in total again. I submitted a new withdrawal request and I am now waiting for the money. However, they did not give me the remaining €4,050 from before, even though the bonus wagering requirements had been completed. They do credit the amounts to the latest winnings, but they do not pay them out.



thank you in advance

Dear Xreflexion,

Thank you for reaching out to us with your complaint. I sincerely apologize for the difficulties you are experiencing. In order to assist you effectively, I would appreciate it if you could answer a few questions to help me gain a better understanding of your situation.

  • Have you reviewed the specific terms and conditions regarding the bonus and withdrawal limits that you agreed to, especially concerning the maximum payout limits of the casino before your withdrawal? It is stated:

3.6 The maximum withdrawal amount is limited to 1,000 EUR per day, 4,000 EUR per week, and 10,000 EUR per month, unless otherwise specified in the Terms & Conditions of a specific promotion. Exceptions may be granted to players with a higher VIP level, if applicable, at the Casino’s sole discretion.

3.7. Withdrawal limits for non-jackpot winnings are capped at 10,000 EUR per month, with corresponding weekly and daily limits applied.

  • Could you please clarify what information you received from the VIP department regarding the maximum withdrawal limits?
  • Have you faced any similar issues with your withdrawals in the past?
  • Additionally, have you completed the KYC verification process?

I hope we can resolve this issue for you as quickly as possible. Thank you very much for your cooperation, and I look forward to your response.

Thank you for your reply and for providing the previous details, Xreflexion.

I would like to emphasize that, according to our Fair Gambling Codex https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#win-limits, we consider an imposed win limit to be unfair and predatory only when applied to a real money game. However, we accept bonus T&Cs that restrict the maximum cash out from bonus play.

To clarify your case:

  • Could you please provide any additional evidence, such as a link or screenshot of the Bonus, that may help support your case?
  • Could you please clarify if there is a maximum win limit mentioned in the specific Terms and Conditions related to this bonus?
  • Could you provide any additional communication you had with the casino? This can include screenshots, emails, or chat records. You can send me all the documents to: petra.h@casino.guru or post your screenshots to the thread.

Thank you again for your cooperation.

There was no maximum winnings limit stated. Even if there had been such a limit, I completed the wagering requirement at €131.50, as you can see. It was then transferred to real money. After that, I won €5,300.


Thank you in advance for your help in trying to resolve this matter.

Dear Casino Guru Team and Player,


Thank you for the opportunity to clarify this matter.

After a full review of account ID 1508***, we can confirm the following:


All withdrawal requests submitted by the player were processed correctly.

The amount of €4,050.34 referenced in the complaint was not related to a withdrawal issue, but to a balance adjustment performed on 22.01.2026.

This adjustment was made in accordance with the Terms & Conditions that were valid and active at that time (attached as screenshot).


Specifically, the deduction was applied under Bonus Policy - Rule 12 of the Terms & Conditions, which stated that winnings exceeding 50x the bonus amount could be removed in accordance with the bonus limitation rule.

At the time of the adjustment (22.01.2026), the previous version of the Terms & Conditions - including Rule 12 - was fully valid and in force. The updated Terms & Conditions that came into effect on 01.02.2026 do not retroactively apply to gameplay, bonuses, or winnings obtained before that date.


All players agree to the Terms & Conditions upon registration and each time a bonus is claimed. Bonus limitations are clearly defined within those terms and are applied automatically or manually where applicable.

We understand that the rule is no longer present in the updated Terms & Conditions; however, regulatory and contractual standards require that cases are assessed based on the rules that were active at the time the activity occurred. The removal of a rule in a later update does not invalidate actions taken correctly under the previous, valid version.


Regarding communication, while we acknowledge there is no separate VIP email record referencing this adjustment, the transaction is reflected in the account history and was applied strictly in line with the applicable bonus policy at the time.


To conclude:

  • No withdrawal was withheld improperly.
  • The balance adjustment was applied correctly under the valid Terms & Conditions in force on 22.01.2026.
  • The updated Terms & Conditions (01.02.2026) do not apply retroactively.


We therefore confirm that the actions taken were compliant with the rules accepted by the player at the time of the bonus activity.

We remain available should Casino Guru require any supporting documentation privately.


Kind regards,

LuckyGem Team

It is not clearly stated that you can withdraw a maximum of 50x the cash bonus. I believe that if there is a maximum payout, you should receive a notification saying that you have reached the maximum amount. That way, the player knows they have reached the maximum limit.


When I submitted the withdrawal request for the total amount, there was no indication of this either. This gives players false hope. Then it gets canceled and corrected, while the terms and conditions are not clear.


If another player reaches higher amounts, for example 100k, that would apparently also be corrected, even though this is not clearly communicated. The player becomes happy at that moment and then disappointed because only around 1000 euros remain out of the 100k.


I find this absolutely unclear. I also don’t think I am the only one. I saw on Guru another complaint about LuckyGem from a Greek player who experienced something similar. In the end, it was decided that the player was right. The player’s name is sakiz48.


Thank you in advance for your response.

Dear Xreflexion,


After review of evidence provided by the casino, we can confirm the following:

Before you activated the 25€ VIP bonus, your real money was zero, so by continuing playing, you were using bonus money. Since after completing the wagering requirements your balance was lower than the maximum withdrawal limit (50x25€ in this case), it has not been capped at the point of reaching the wagering requirements. That is why your winnings have been capped when you requested withdrawal. After the balance has been adjusted to 1250€, you were abele to complete the following withdrawals without adjustments - so your bonus winnings have been capped on one occasion.


You previously mentioned, there are cases where winnings are capped twice, which we consider unfair, however in this case, they have been reduced to the maximum withdrawal amount (50x the bonus amount) only once. And the casino acted according to their Terms and conditions by restricting the amount from 5000€ to 1250€ in the first withdrawal request after the bonus activation and usage. I can only recommend you to keep track of your balance, when you use bonuses like this one in the future. When you notice, you met your wagering requirements, and you reached your maximum bonus amount, you can request withdrawal of your balance right away, so you avoid disappointment.


Due to the aforementioned reason, 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,

Mirka
