Case summary

The player from Spain experienced difficulties withdrawing winnings after utilizing a promotional bonus that he believed was misleading. He won over €6,000 but was informed by support that the bonus could only be released at 1x the bonus value, contradicting the advertised terms of 10x. Despite attempts to resolve the issue, the casino remained uncooperative and operated without a valid gaming license or an alternative dispute resolution service. Despite the initial lack of casino response, the casino later cooperated in clarifying the situation. It turned out that the bonus indeed had a maximum win of €500 attached. While we acknowledge the player's disappointment that depositing €250 may have led him to expect a higher maximum win, a maximum win of €500 on a minimum qualifying deposit of €20 is, objectively, a good offer – representing a potential return of 25 times the minimum required deposit. The amount the player ultimately chose to deposit does not affect or alter the applicable rule. We have not identified any wrongdoing on the casino's part in this case. The player was advised to refer to Section 13 – Complaints Resolution Procedure in Lunubet Casino's Terms & Conditions should he wish to pursue the matter further.

Recently, I had the luckiest moment of my life, and the biggest misfortune, or rather, the biggest rip-off, by a casino. I received a text message with a 200% bonus up to 500, which I took advantage of and deposited 250. I received a 500 bonus, started playing, and suddenly had a huge win. I rushed to check the terms and conditions of the bonus, but it didn't say anything except that I still had over 27,000 to play for (250 + 500 * 40x wagering requirement = 30,000 total). I clicked on the bonus conditions, and this link leads directly to the casino's general terms and conditions. Then I understood that since I had a 40x wagering requirement (even higher than the 35x bonus offered by deposit bonuses in their terms and conditions), I kept playing until I finally managed to win over 6,000. To my surprise, when I made the last spin, they left 500 in my real money account. My incredulous reaction was to immediately contact support, where they assured me that this bonus was a specific bonus that could only be released at x1 the bonus value. After doing some research, I found that no casino of this type (those with the infamous crab bonus) offers such a massive x40 wagering requirement for withdrawing a deposit bonus with only x1. Instead, the casino's terms and conditions clearly state that it's x10 on all deposit bonuses. They contradict themselves. The problem is that after days of trying to make them see the error, they still won't budge. So I want to know the next step, since that money is worth going all in on. Thank you very much.

This is the message received via SMS

Exactly. After doing a 40x deposit + bonus wager (rounding up to €30,000), I ended up with €6,819. And they left me with €500 in profit (only x1 the bonus value received).

Here are the general terms and conditions of their website.

I should have received a 35x wagering bonus, since it was a deposit bonus. Instead, they applied a 40x bonus, which is even worse. Now they're refusing to pay me my winnings.

I have a video showing how, when you click on any of their bonuses, including mine after I received the bonus, clicking on "terms and conditions" takes you directly to their main terms and conditions page. The email doesn't include any specific conditions, and I have a screenshot of another specific bonus where the specific terms are included in the email. They're contradicting themselves constantly. I don't know where to upload the video; it tells me to insert a URL. Just let me know what's needed, and I'll provide it.

Hello Tunnio,

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.

I would like to invite LunuBet Casino to join the conversation.




Dear LunuBet Casino,

I kindly ask you to provide a detailed outline of the sequence of events relating to this matter.

In particular, I would appreciate clarification regarding which publicly available Terms and Conditions were associated with and applicable to the bonus at the time it was claimed, as well as the reasoning behind the apparent winnings cap applied to the player’s winnings, especially if such a limitation was not clearly and transparently communicated to the player prior to the activation of the bonus.

As the player has stated, the bonus terms indicate that the maximum withdrawal limit from deposit bonuses is outlined as follows:

file

Based on this, the player should theoretically be eligible to withdraw up to 10x (ten times) the bonus amount received, rather than only 1x, as appears to have been applied in this case.

We look forward to your detailed clarification.

If there are any additional factors relevant to this case that cannot be shared publicly, please feel free to forward them directly to me at michal.k@casino.guru for an independent review.

Thank you in advance.

I suppose when they say they're going to investigate, they already know my username, otherwise they won't be able to do much research. However, it doesn't take much investigating; it's clearly an internal casino error. They make the player deposit an amount to play with, but then can't withdraw until they've played €30,000, only allowing them to withdraw double their deposit. The main reason is that no one would use bonuses; nobody deposits €250 if their maximum withdrawal option is €500. It's not that the bonus isn't attractive, it's that nobody would use it. Use a little common sense and see if you finally agree with the user.

Dear LunuBet Casino team,

Thank you for your email and the evidence provided.



Dear Tunnio,

As I informed you via email, there was indeed a maximum win limit attached to the bonus you claimed and played with. Consequently, the amount you ultimately chose to deposit does not affect or alter the applicable rule. It is always the player's responsibility to review the terms and conditions of any promotion before claiming it.

I appreciate that depositing €250 may have led you to expect a higher maximum win, and I understand why the outcome feels disappointing. However, a maximum win of €500 on a minimum qualifying deposit of €20 is, objectively, a good offer, representing a potential return of 25 times the minimum required deposit.

The decision to deposit €250 was entirely yours, and it is in every player's own interest to familiarise themselves with the applicable bonus rules and determine whether the promotion is worthwhile based on their intended deposit. Even if you had deposited €1,000, the same maximum win restriction would still have applied.

As an independent dispute mediator, I have not identified any wrongdoing on the casino's part in this case. Casinos are free to structure their promotions and bonuses, provided the applicable terms are clearly disclosed, reflect the industry standards, and are consistently applied. By claiming a bonus, a player accepts and agrees to be bound by those terms.

I understand this is not the outcome you were hoping for. However, as the casino seems to have acted in accordance with its bonus rules and we have not identified any practices that we would consider unfair, there is unfortunately nothing further we can do in this matter.

If you nevertheless believe the casino has acted unlawfully, you are, of course, free to seek independent legal advice. However, we are unable to provide any further assistance with this complaint.

Should you wish to pursue the matter further, you may refer to Section 13 – Complaints Resolution Procedure in Lunubet Casino's Terms & Conditions. From Casino Guru's perspective, however, we have reached the end of our review.

For future play, I strongly recommend carefully reviewing the actual bonus terms and conditions before claiming any promotion. If you ever find any part of the rules unclear, or if you notice that some important conditions aren't clearly laid out, I would always recommend checking with the casino's support team beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings. Doing so can help avoid misunderstandings and disappointment in situations like this.

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
