Case summary

The player from Spain had a problem with the casino confiscating his winnings of €64.35, citing a minor violation of exceeding the allowed bet limit by 50 cents. Despite having used his own funds and returned the bonus in full, the casino only refunded his last deposit of €30.00 and refused to return his winnings. The player claimed a technical platform error had forced the bonus onto his account without consent. We were unable to resolve the complaint due to the casino's lack of cooperation and failure to respond to mediation attempts. Consequently, the complaint was closed as unresolved, and the casino's rating was negatively affected.

I made a deposit of €30.00 in real money and the casino awarded me a €6.00 ​​wager-free bonus (no wagering requirements) (20%). Hours earlier I had already made another deposit of €15.00 of my own real money, so my total investment on the site was €45.00.

Throughout the entire gaming session, my accumulated balance never fell below €20.00, mathematically proving that I never used a single cent of the €6.00 ​​bonus. When I requested a withdrawal of my legitimate winnings of €64.35, the system automatically and fully withdrew the €6.00 ​​bonus, confirming that it remained intact.

However, the casino has confiscated all my winnings, claiming that I placed a €5.50 bet on May 22, 2026, exceeding the allowed limit of €5.00 by a mere 50 cents. Upon voiding my winnings, the casino only refunded my last deposit of €30.00, effectively stealing both my winnings and my previous deposit of €15.00.

I believe that confiscating a player's real money for a 50-cent error in a bet, when I played with my own funds and returned the bonus in full, is an abusive, disproportionate, and completely unfair measure. I request the return of my €64.35.

Dear Pendragones,

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

Our position on breaching the maximum bet rule is closely explained in Fair Gambling Codex https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#max-bets:

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 together with a link to the specific bonus that you redeemed and played. My email address is tomas@casino.guru.

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

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Dear Tomas,

​Thank you for your response. I believe there has been a misunderstanding regarding the nature of my complaint. I am not disputing a "max bet" rule; I am reporting a technical platform error (a bug) that forced a bonus onto my account against my will.

​To clarify:

​No voluntary acceptance: I explicitly deselected the bonus during the deposit process. The platform interface confirmed it was deselected. Despite this, the system forced the bonus onto my account immediately after the transaction.

​Lack of consent: Since I never chose to accept the bonus, I never legally agreed to its terms (including wagering requirements or max bet rules) for this specific deposit.

​Evidence of bug: I have provided screenshots of my chat with their support team, where they admitted the bonus was active but refused to investigate the technical bug of the "deselection" button failing.

​Fair play: I played exclusively with my €30.00 real-money deposit. The bonus funds were never touched. Confiscating my real-money winnings due to an involuntary bonus is not a violation of terms; it is a system-induced theft of funds.

​Please find attached my game history and the screenshots of my interaction with their support, where they dismissively close the chat to avoid investigating the technical error.

​I kindly ask you to review this as a technical failure of the casino's interface, not as a standard bonus dispute.

Dear Pendragones,

Thank you for the provided explanation and evidence thus far.

Unfortunately, I would like to inform you that since this casino has 10+ cases closed as "No Reaction Policy", we are forced to close your complaint as "unresolved". This will affect the overall rating of the casino. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue; however, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could change the casino's approach.

Regrettably, it seems to be a common practice of Simsinos Casino to ignore us completely in our attempts to mediate any kind of issue. Please see all our previous failed attempts to negotiate.

We have sent numerous emails and tried to communicate with live chat representatives as well as with affiliate team members. Unfortunately, all efforts to resolve any kind of issue have died as the complaints grew in number. We strictly recommend staying away from Simsinos Casino. I wish I could be of more help.

I would recommend you complete the casino's dispute process first, outlined in https://simsinos.com/en/terms-and-conditions point 10

If you are not successful, I would recommend you contact the casino's regulator: https://casino.guru/licensing-authorities/kahnawake-license

Feel free to take advantage of the advice on how to proceed in our article on the topic. https://casino.guru/submitting-complaints-to-regulators

The casino can reopen this complaint at any time.

Best regards,

Tomas
