RoyalistPlay Casino - Player’s winnings have been confiscated.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €225

RoyalistPlay Casino
Safety Index:Low

Case summary

The player from Germany was denied the withdrawal of his winnings from Royalistplay after he met the wagering requirements for a welcome bonus, with the casino citing alleged bonus manipulation. He was unable to receive a response from customer service and questioned the vague terms and conditions that led to this denial. The complaint was resolved by verifying that the player had repeatedly violated the casino's maximum bet rule during the bonus wagering, which was a standard industry practice clearly stated in the terms and conditions. The casino's actions to reject the withdrawal and void the winnings were found to be in accordance with their rules, leading to the rejection of the player's complaint.

Ladies and Gentlemen


Last week I played at Royalistplay using the Welcome Bonus, met the wagering requirements, and now I want to withdraw it as real money credit.

This was denied due to alleged bonus manipulation.

Since then, I've been referred from the live chat to customer service via email, who don't reply to me (!)

I don't even know which clause in the terms and conditions I violated...

I played normally, just as I would in any other online casino.


This is not an isolated error, but a standard blocking clause used by many Curacao casinos (including the RoyalistPlay cluster) when bonus terms and conditions have been technically violated – or when they have no intention of paying out.

Very vague terms and conditions wording such as:

"Low-risk or progressive strategies are prohibited."

This will be interpreted retrospectively, not explained beforehand.

Royalistplay Casino as a white-label + rotating domains, payout > internal threshold, bonus involved

= automatic escalation → bonus manipulation

This is systemic...


I look forward to your feedback and wish you a Merry Christmas!


Best regards

Hello,

Thank you for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced. May I ask a few questions to better understand the situation?

  • Could you please tell me which games you were focused on — slots, live casino, sports betting, etc.?
  • Do I understand correctly that the casino has confiscated €225 (dispute value)?
  • Do you currently have access to your casino account?

I hope we can help resolve this issue promptly. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Hello and thank you for your message 🙂


- I only played slot machines / slots

- The amount in dispute is €225; €25 of my initial deposit is still in the casino account.

- I still have access to the casino account.


Furthermore, I have now received a response via email from Royalistplay, but again a very general reference to the suspicion of bonus manipulation without any specific reference to a rule I am alleged to have violated, with a list of all betting activities "prohibited" by the online casino.


Best regards

Eric

We would like to update you that due to Kristina, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Kristina has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Kristina will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Dear Peter,


As the customer has already mentioned, they participated in a campaign and activated a Welcome Bonus in the amount of 25 EUR. The applicable Terms and Conditions are available here: https://royalistplay.com/pages/terms-and-conditions.


After receiving the bonus amount, the player met wagering requirements, and successfully converted the bonus. Later on, they submit withdrawal request.


Our team reviewed the withdrawal along with their betting activity and identified a violation of the Terms and Conditions related to participation in bonus campaigns. Specifically, the customer breached article 26.8.3(d) on multiple occasions by placing bets exceeding the maximum permitted stake of 1.25 EUR. Several hundred bets were placed above the permitted limit.


Based on these findings, their withdrawal request was rejected and the associated winnings were voided. The player’s account balance was reverted to the original deposit used to activate the bonus campaign, and the customer was promptly informed of this outcome. 


Please note that the bonus rules apply equally to all players, and it is each player’s responsibility to familiarize themselves with the applicable Terms and Conditions prior to participating in promotional campaigns. In light of the current correspondence, the player’s position appears to constitute an attempt to obtain an undue advantage or to re-claim amounts that were initially accrued in breach of the applicable rules.


At this stage, we maintain that all actions taken in relation to the player’s account were fully aligned with the Terms and Conditions, and that the matter has been sufficiently clarified to all parties involved.


Best Regards,

RoyalistPlay Casino

Dear Peter,


We understand the concerns and would like to assure all parties that the matter has been reviewed in detail. The relevant explanations and supporting information have already been provided directly to them, clearly outlining the actions taken on the account and the reasons behind them.


Due to our obligations to protect player privacy, we are unable to share any account-specific details. As the player has full access to their own betting history and records, they may review or disclose any information from the account at their own discretion. 


We remain available for constructive cooperation within these limits and are committed to addressing all such issues in a transparent and fair manner, in accordance with our obligations.


Best Regards,

Thank you for providing the information, RoyalistPlay Casino representative.

Dear HAMMER94, the maximum bet rule is a standard practice within the industry, so we try not to go against it. However, we appreciate the opportunity to review each case on an individual basis to ensure that the rule has not been consistently violated or exploited for an unfair advantage. Therefore, I kindly request that you share your betting history with us. If you are unable to export the history directly from the website, a screenshot of the bets that you believe may have violated the max bet rule would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to send any information to my email. (peter.c@casino.guru) Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Hello Peter,


Thank you very much for your feedback and for continuing to process the case.


I am currently identifying the affected bets and will provide you with the relevant information and screenshots via email as soon as possible.


RoyalistPlay's explanation regarding the maximum bet rule is now understandable to me.


At the same time, I'd like to point out that it's a shame it took more than a month – including the involvement of Casino Guru – to receive a concrete explanation specific to my case. However, I find Casino Guru's work all the more impressive, as such transparent feedback would likely never have been provided without their support.


Thank you so much for your commitment and professional approach!


I will get back to you today with the requested details.


Best regards

Eric

Thank you for providing me with the evidence HAMMER94.

While we understand your frustration regarding the review of the betting history and the applicable rules, you have repeatedly broken the maximum bet, so it has unfortunately had an effect on the advantage you gained during wagering. The casino has acted in accordance with its terms and conditions, which were accepted prior to the activation of the bonus. Casinos are entitled to define the structure and conditions of their promotional offers at their own discretion, and in this case, the actions taken were consistent with those terms.

As such, we have to reject your complaint. Thank you for your understanding.

We are genuinely sorry that we were not able to assist you more effectively in this particular situation, as our goal is always to help players resolve their issues whenever possible. Please be assured that you are welcome to contact us again should you encounter any problems with this or any other casino in the future. Whether you have a question, a concern, or a new issue that requires review, our team remains available and ready to support you.

Kind regards,

Peter
