PlayMojo Casino - Player’s winnings have been confiscated.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €700

PlayMojo Casino
Safety Index:High

Case summary

The player from Germany had won nearly €700 using real money converted from a bonus after playing 10 free spins but faced withdrawal denial and confiscation of winnings. Despite confirming the validity of the withdrawal with customer service, the casino claimed he had violated betting rules, which he felt were not clearly specified. The Complaints Team reviewed the case and determined that the player's violation of the maximum bet rule resulted in an unfair advantage, justifying the casino's actions in confiscating the winnings. Consequently, the complaint was rejected.

I received an email stating that I had been credited with 10 free spins from Playmojo.com on my account.


I played through them, which converted the bonus credit into real money.


With this real money balance, I won a total of nearly €700 and wanted to withdraw it.


I specifically contacted customer service via live chat beforehand to ensure everything was correct. I was assured multiple times that it was.

However, when I checked the transaction status again today, all withdrawal requests were denied, and the winnings were confiscated, citing that I allegedly violated betting rules, which, in my opinion, are not clearly outlined in the terms and conditions.

Thank you for your reply, kingfestletsplay. I checked the Bonus T&Cs and I found this:

2.2. The maximum bet while wagering is 5 EUR, 5 USD, 7.5 CAD, 7.5 AUD, 7.5 NZD, 50 NOK, 400 RUB, 100 ZAR, 500 INR, 30 BRL, 0.00005 BTC, 0.0015 ETH, 0.055 LTC, 0.01 BCH, 30.94 DOG, 5 USDT, 3.8 XRP, 0.0075 BNB, 5.5 ADA, 27 TRX or currency equivalent, unless otherwise specified. The maximum bet limit includes bets doubling after a game round has been completed and bonus rounds (purchased within the game). Breaching the maximum bet rule leads to all winnings from the bonus confiscated.


Our position is closely explained in Fair Gambling Codex:

The max bet rule is, in fact, an industry standard, just as the fact that a casino has the right to seize the player's winnings from bonus play after breaking this rule. We prefer not to go against industry standards by penalizing casinos that use the maximum bet rule against players from time to time.

However, if you feel like you have been accused mistakenly, feel free to forward me your game history. My email address is [email protected].

If there is any relevant communication between you and the casino, please send it as well.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Dear Peter,


Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention.


After thoroughly reviewing the player's account, we can confirm that while the verification process was completed successfully, it was evident that the maximum bet rule was violated while playing with an active bonus and information was provided to this effect.


Additionally just to clarify, the maximum win from free spins is capped at €50, as per our promotional rules. Any winnings exceeding this amount would have been adjusted accordingly if the bet hadn't anyway breached our terms.   


We always strive to ensure fairness and transparency in our gaming environment, and we encourage players to familiarize themselves with our terms before playing. Should you require further clarification, we remain available to assist.


Best Regards,


The Play Mojo Team

Thank you for providing me with the information PlayMojo Casino representative.

Dear kingfestletsplay, I have requested the game history again as the format it was in previously made it difficult to review. While we try not to go against the max bet rule as it is an industry standard we look at each case individually to try to determine if the player gained an unfair advantage by violating the rule. I have received the game history and was able to review it and determine that the max bet rule violation caused you to gain an advantage as without it you would not be able to finish the wagering requirements and receive the real money funds you used to win the disputed amount. With that in mind, we believe the steps the casino has taken to be justified and we will subsequently reject your complaint. Thank you for your understanding and I'm sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future.

Kind regards,

Peter
