Richard Casino’s cancelled a pending withdrawal and re-credited me during an active bonus session, mixing real and bonus funds in breach of its own Terms & Conditions, which led to the wrongful forfeiture of $1,400 AUD in legitimate real-money winnings.


On 10 October 2025, Richard Casino’s system automatically cancelled my $600 AUD withdrawal and re-credited it to my account while I was completing a small bonus.


This merged my real funds (which were already withdrawn from balance) with the closing bonus credit ($3.54) and caused my subsequent $1,400 AUD in real-money winnings to be wrongly treated as "bonus winnings" and removed under a cash-out cap.


Timeline:


21:18 AEST: Withdrawal request for $600 AUD submitted. While a withdrawal request is being processed, those funds are removed from the playable account balance.


21:22: Bonus "Level 12 [11] Loyalty Reward" completed – "Wager done 88.8 / 88.5." Final bonus win = $3.54.


21:23: System email: "Your cashout has been canceled. Funds have been credited back to your balance." (Re-credit occurred automatically from the casino’s end.)


Gameplay after 21:23 generated $1,400 AUD in real-fund winnings.


VIP Manager Eugene later stated my "maximum cash-out for this bonus" was raised to $600 and that funds were "transferred to [my] real balance."


Support agent Riley later said "no mistakes found."

Richard Casino’s Bonus Terms clearly state:

"This term only applies to balance tied to a bonus, and doesn’t apply to funds on player’s balance gained from other deposits or bonuses."

By re-crediting a pending withdrawal, the casino mixed segregated real funds with bonus funds, breaching its own rules and unfairly voiding $1,400 AUD in legitimate winnings.


Requested resolution:

– Full payment of $1,400 AUD winnings

– Written acknowledgment of system error and policy breach

– Confirmation of corrective measures to prevent future fund-mixing


Amount: $1,400 AUD

Hello,

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

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

  • Could you please clarify whether 21:22 was the moment the free bonus was credited, or when you completed the wagering of said bonus?
  • Could you please share any supporting evidence about the timeline of events from your point of view?
  • Could you please share with me your communication with the casino regarding the issue? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

Hi Tomas,

Thanks for the quick response.

Answers:

21:22 AEST was when the bonus wagering completed.

The on-screen message reads: "Wager done 88.8 / 88.5 AUD wagered." The bonus result was $3.54 AUD.


I will send you supporting screenshots showing the exact timestamps.


I will also send my communications with the casino, including the VIP manager’s email.

Timeline (AEST):

21:18 Withdrawal request submitted for $600 AUD. Funds left the playable balance.


21:22 Bonus completed. Message: "Wager done 88.8 / 88.5 AUD wagered." Bonus win: $3.54 AUD.


21:23 System email received: "Your cashout has been canceled. Funds have been credited back to your balance." This is the automatic re-credit of the $600 withdrawal.


After 21:23 I continued playing with re-credited real funds and reached $1,400 AUD.


Later, VIP manager Eugene emailed: "We’ll be processing your payout for 600 AUD — above the usual limit," and also referred to funds being "transferred to your real balance."


Support then said "no mistakes found."

Key clause in their Bonus Terms:


"This term only applies to balance tied to a bonus, and doesn’t apply to funds on player’s balance gained from other deposits or bonuses."

I will email you 5 exhibits now:

A) Withdrawal request 21:18.

B) Bonus completion 21:22 with "Wager done 88.8 / 88.5."

C) System email 21:23 "cashout canceled / funds credited back."

D) Chat and email with Eugene and support.

E) Balance showing $1,400 AUD after re-credit.

Best,

Henoke

Hello Helvis,


I am sorry to hear about your troubles. I am Martin and I will be taking care of your complaint from now on. As the first order of business, I would like to invite the Richard Casino representative to enter the discussion.


Dear casino representative,


could you please check the case and explain the matter to us? Why was the initial withdrawal of 600 AUD rejected? Were these funds later classified as Bonus funds? What was the reason for the application of the bonus cap? If you want to provide us with any screenshots from your system or other evidence which could be relevant to the case, please send it to me at martin.l@casino.guru


Thank you in advance for providing us with your view of the issue.
