Case summary

The player from the United Kingdom faced issues with withdrawing winnings after he had reduced a payout from 640 euros to 300 euros, despite having played as a VIP. He had canceled a pending withdrawal to deposit more but felt that the reduction of his payout was not in line with the casino's terms and conditions. We reviewed the case and concluded that the casino's application of bonus terms to funds that had become real money winnings was unfair. Consequently, the complaint was marked as "unresolved." Later, the casino refunded the player's winnings, and upon request, the complaint was reopened for confirmation of the balance restoration. The player confirmed that the funds had been received, and the complaint was marked as "resolved."

Hello, I got free spins at the casino after making a deposit.

I was able to use the free spins and was reduced from 780 euros to the max win of 300 after the wagering.

So far everything is ok-

Of these, 60 were lost and 240 were paid out.

At some point later I wanted to deposit another 20 and was asked if I would rather cancel the pending withdrawal.

I did this and played through the night, and at some point I wanted to withdraw 640. They then simply reduced this to 300 again, for the second time, which can't be right. I read the terms and conditions. This isn't legal.

Even though I'm a VIP, I can't talk to support.

Dear kokatroll,

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

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

  • Were you informed at any point that bonus terms and conditions persist after the wagering of the bonus is complete?
  • Could you please advise if the balance in your casino account is divided into real and bonus money balances?
  • Has the balance you continued to play with appeared as 'withdrawable'/ 'real money', or were your winnings displayed in your bonus balance?

I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Hello

To

Were you informed at any time that the bonus terms and conditions continue to apply even after the bonus turnover has been completed?


No, unfortunately I wouldn't.


The free spins winnings were bonus money which, after wagering, was 780 and then converted into 300 real money. Of this real money, 260 remained. When the game was canceled, there was neither bonus credit nor bonus money in the account.


With these 260 real money from the withdrawal request I then earned 654 real money, which was reduced again to 300 when withdrawing.

Kind regards

Dear Casino Guru Team and Kokatroll,

 

Thank you for your patience while we reviewed your complaint regarding the reduction of your withdrawal amount.

 

After a thorough investigation of your account history and communication logs, we would like to clarify the situation:

 

1. Initial Winnings from Free Spins

Your original balance of €780, won using bonus free spins, was capped to €300 in accordance with the casino’s maximum win rule for bonus offers. This rule was clearly outlined in the Terms & Conditions, and we appreciate that you acknowledged this limitation.

2. Subsequent Gameplay and Withdrawal Reduction

Following your decision to cancel the pending withdrawal and deposit additional funds, you continued playing and achieved further winnings. However, this gameplay session was still tied to the original Saturday Fat Spins bonus. As a result, the maximum win cap remained applicable under our bonus policy.

Our support team informed you of this during your chat session, and a detailed explanation was provided. The reduction was implemented by our financial department following internal review and was fully compliant with our Terms & Conditions.

 

We understand how frustrating this may feel. Please know that our intention is always to uphold a fair and transparent gaming environment for all players. We appreciate your feedback, and we are always working to improve the clarity of our promotions and bonus terms.

 

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team or reply to this message.

 

Kind regards,

Run4Win Casino Team

Dear Run4Win Casino Team,

To sum up the situation here: the player won from the bonus free spins €780. The winnings were capped at €300 and became real money available for withdrawal. First of all, we see absolutely no reason why the bonus conditions should be applied to the winnings that have become real money. Secondly, the player wanted to withdraw these funds and make another deposit, but was asked to rather cancel the withdrawal. After he did, you keep applying the same bonus conditions that were already applied. It is unreasonable for restrictions to be applied if the bonus is finished. This creates a trap for players, because they are able to gamble with no possibility of claiming any further winnings. We believe that once the wagering requirements of the bonus have been completed, the bonus winnings shouldn't have any win limits applied immediately and then be added to the player’s real money balance. At this point, the bonus should be considered finished, and any related restrictions should no longer apply. The player should be able to withdraw the winnings or continue to play as they choose.

Dear Peter,

 

Thank you for your message and for taking the time to share your perspective on this case.

 

We would like to clarify the situation further from our side, particularly regarding the application of our bonus rules and the sequence of events related to the player’s withdrawal.

 

Maximum Win Cap from Free Spins Bonus

Our Terms & Conditions clearly state that winnings from free spins bonuses are subject to a maximum win cap - in this case, €300. This limitation is part of our bonus policy and is in place to ensure fair and consistent promotional practices. Once a player wins from a free spins bonus, they are absolutely welcome to cash out the maximum allowed winnings, which would be credited to their wallet accordingly. After that payout, the player is free to deposit additional funds, and at that point, no maximum win restrictions from the original bonus apply anymore.

 

Regarding the Cancellation of Withdrawal

It is important to highlight that the player was not instructed or encouraged by our support team to cancel their pending withdrawal. Instead, an automated system notification was displayed - this is a standard message shown to all users who attempt to deposit while having a pending withdrawal. Its purpose is to inform players that they must cancel their withdrawal to proceed with a new deposit. This is a system-generated reminder and not an intervention or recommendation by our staff.

 

In this specific case, the player chose to cancel the withdrawal and continue playing. However, because the bonus session (from the Saturday Fat Spins bonus) was not considered closed- meaning the winnings were never cashed out - the maximum win cap still applied as per the bonus terms. To remove any further bonus restrictions, the player would have needed to successfully withdraw the winnings first, thereby ending the bonus session formally.

 

We do appreciate your concern regarding the transparency of these rules, and we are continuously reviewing and improving how this information is communicated to ensure all players are well-informed before making their decisions.

 

Should you have any further questions or require additional clarification, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

 

Kind regards,

Run4Win Casino Team

Dear Run4Win Casino Team,

Even though we understand your point of view, our position remains. Once the bonus funds become real money, there is absolutely no reason to apply bonus rules to the player's winnings. Secondly, blocking deposits while there is a pending withdrawal doesn't create a very good user experience; however, it doesn't make much difference in this case. Please let us know if the player will get paid in full, and we will close the complaint accordingly. In a case of non-payment, the complaint will be closed as unresolved and will have negative impact on the casino's safety index.

Dear Peter,

 

Thank you for your response and for taking the time to review this case.

 

We would like to offer some clarification, as we believe certain aspects may have been misunderstood. Our bonus Terms & Conditions clearly outline a maximum win cap from bonus funds. This is a standard industry practice, and in this case, it was applied fairly and transparently. Importantly, the player has not raised any objections regarding this part of the process, as we followed the published T&Cs.

 

Secondly, we would like to clarify that our platform does not block deposits after a withdrawal has been requested. Instead, the system notifies players that if they proceed with a deposit while a withdrawal is pending, they have the option to cancel the withdrawal. This is simply an informative prompt and not a restriction.

 

Lastly, the player was advised by our support team to withdraw their winnings in order to remove the bonus-related win cap on the earlier €300 balance. Had the player not canceled the withdrawal and subsequently won using newly deposited funds, those winnings would not have been subject to any bonus terms.

 

We kindly ask that you re-evaluate the case in light of this explanation and share your final thoughts on how you believe we should proceed.

 

Kind regards,

Run4Win Casino Team

Dear Run4Win Casino Team,

Thank you for your reply. I agree that some aspects may have been misunderstood. Regarding the following: "Terms & Conditions clearly outline a maximum win cap from bonus funds." It is alright to have a max win cap, and it is great that it was applied automatically. However, it should be applied once at the exact moment when the wagering of the bonus is finished. This action closes the bonus play, the winnings are transferred to the real money balance and the bonus conditions shouldn't apply anymore. You can't apply bonus rules to real money funds. We would like to see the system notification and the conversation with the support. You can send it to my email address (peter.m@casino.guru).

Dear Run4Win Casino Team,

Thank you for your email, even though I'm not sure what you are trying to prove. The conversations confirm that the player's winnings were capped twice, which we can't consider to be fair. If the player doesn't get paid their winnings, I'm afraid, the complaint will be closed as unresolved, which will affect the casino's safety index.

Dear Peter,


Thank you for your continued correspondence.


We would like to clarify, once again, that the maximum win restriction persists after the completion of the wagering requirement, as clearly stated in our Bonus Terms and Conditions. The player in question had already lost their deposit prior to using the bonus spins; therefore, all winnings derived from the bonus play fall under the maximum win restriction outlined in our Terms.


While we understand Casino Guru's perspective on what is considered "fair," we must respectfully emphasize that Casino Guru is not a regulatory authority and is not in a position to redefine fairness or compel the casino to override its Terms and Conditions.


The decision to adjust the player's balance was fully compliant with our established bonus rules and the current regulatory framework. There has been no mistake or misconduct from our side.


We trust this clarifies the situation.


Best regards,

Run4Win Casino Team

Dear kokatroll,

I’m afraid I won't be able to persuade the casino to pay you your winnings. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to reconsider, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Curacao Gaming Authority (https://casino.guru/licensing-authorities/curacao-license) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players, even though I'm afraid double-capping winnings is a standard in many casinos and the authority may tolerate this. I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
