Case summary

The player from Italy requested a withdrawal of €800 after winning on Hacksaw and Pragmatic slots, but his account was blocked and the withdrawal was canceled. He felt this treatment was unfair and requested payment of his remaining balance in full. The casino investigated and found that the player had breached multiple terms related to bonus abuse, which resulted in the cancellation of winnings and account closure. However, the casino agreed to refund the player's original deposits and initiated the refund process after communication through the Complaints Team. The player confirmed receipt of the refund instructions, and the casino processed the refund, leading to the complaint being marked as resolved.

Hi, I had some substantial wins on Hacksaw and Pragmatic slots and requested a withdrawal of €800 two days ago. Today, all of a sudden, my account was blocked. I can no longer log in, and they also cancelled my withdrawal.

Dear Spaffle,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

  • Did you pass the verification before you lost access to the account?
  • Did you accumulate your winnings with or without an active bonus?
  • Are there any terms and conditions that you believe might apply to your situation?

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

Good morning Petra,


  • On the casino website it was written that it was not necessary to upload documents
  • I accumulated winnings without bonuses
  • I don't think I violated any casino rules; I just played the slots, nothing else. I assume this is a random check, and I hope the casino helps me by letting me withdraw my funds.

Hi Petra, the casino didn't give me any reason for blocking my account. They simply reversed my withdrawal request without any explanation.


I contacted them via chat to understand better and these were their responses:

Dear player,

My name is Barbora, and I will be assisting you in solving this case. Now I would like to invite Slim King Casino representative to join this conversation.


Dear Slim King Casino,

Could you please provide clarification regarding this case?


Thank you in advance.

Dear Barbora,


Thank you for reaching out and for the opportunity to clarify the circumstances surrounding this case.


Following a thorough investigation conducted by our Risk and Compliance team, we have determined that the player's account was found to be in breach of multiple sections of our Terms and Conditions, as outlined below.


Section 7.18 – Our bonuses are intended for entertainment purposes only. If the bonus or deposit are not used as intended (for casual betting and playing), we deem such actions a violation of the Terms.


Section 7.19 – It is strictly prohibited to engage in any form of promotion abuse. More specifically, our team identified that the player engaged in the following prohibited conduct:

"Playing games with an active bonus to build up value, converting the bonus and then cashing out the accumulated value afterwards – for example by starting and delaying a game round, bonus feature, and completing this after meeting bonus wagering requirements, losing a bonus or with a subsequent deposit."


This type of behavior constitutes bonus abuse under our Terms and Conditions, regardless of whether the player believes they were simply playing slots in a standard manner. Our system flagged the account due to clear patterns consistent with this specific prohibited strategy, which our team reviewed and confirmed.


Section 7.20 – Engaging in any promotion abuse, fraud, or manipulation is a breach of the Terms, entitling us to void all promotions participated in, confiscate all winnings derived therefrom, and prevent future participation in promotions.


Section 9.1 – Using unfair betting patterns or strategies, including hedge betting, low margin bets, or any structured betting behaviour inconsistent with normal recreational play and designed to manipulate gameplay dynamics or promotional conditions, is strictly prohibited and constitutes a material breach of our Terms.


Section 9.3 – Following our gameplay review, the activity was deemed abusive, giving us the right to revoke promotion entitlements, void winnings, and close the account.


Section 9.4 – Upon reasonable suspicion of improper activity or breach of Terms, we reserve the right — at our sole and absolute discretion — to immediately block the account, cancel pending withdrawals, void winnings, and confiscate the real money balance.


In accordance with our Terms and Conditions, the following actions were taken:

  • All pending withdrawal requests were cancelled
  • The account was permanently closed

We have screenshot on hand that directly evidence the bonus abusive behaviour detected on this account and are happy to share them with Casino Guru internally.

We are confident that all actions taken are fully consistent with our Terms and Conditions and firmly stand by our decision, which we consider to be conclusive and not subject to further review or reversal.


Best regards,

Slim King Casino Support Team

I consider the bonus and the balance resulting from my deposits to be two separate entities. I understand that if the bonus has been used in violation of the casino's terms and conditions, you may forfeit the bonus and any associated winnings.


However, regarding the actual balance resulting exclusively from my personal deposits, I would like to kindly request a refund of the approximately 1000 euros I paid, in order to resolve the matter peacefully and fairly for both parties.

Dear Barbora,

Thank you for your follow-up.


After a thorough review of the account activity, we can confirm that the player has breached Clause 7.20 of our Terms and Conditions, which prohibits promotional abuse, including the intentional postponement of unfinished game rounds, bonus features, free spins, or similar mechanics while an active bonus is present.


In the case of this player he claims a bonus, having real money and bonus balance he goes to place a sports bet with his real money, keeping his real balance safe. Then he goes on to use the bonus balance. Once he uses the bonus, he will go to cash out the sports bets previously placed and get his real money back, playing with no risk of losing them, just taking advantage of the bonus.


In the 2nd scenario, he used the bonus to play slots, and whenever he activates a bonus round within a game, he will exit the game only to come back to it later when there are no longer bonus wagering requirements in place, only to collect the winnings, which will go directly to his real balance as real cash.


The behavior described above is clearly illustrated in the screenshot previously submitted and constitutes a recognized pattern of bonus abuse designed to gain an unfair advantage from promotional offers.

We are unable to provide further supporting examples. The activity in question spans a substantial period and includes a lot of betting transactions, together with numerous gaming sessions and bonus features.

In addition, the underlying logs and monitoring records contain sensitive security and operational data that cannot be disclosed to third parties.


The screenshot already provided serves as a representative example of the player's conduct and demonstrates the prohibited activity that led to our decision.


For ease of reference, Clause 7.20 of our Terms and Conditions prohibits, among other things:

• Any and all minimum risk strategies, for example, low risk roulette betting, including any bet spread combination on roulette games covering 24 or more of the 37 unique spots on the table;

• Moving from low weighted or un-weighted games to a high weighted game after large wins for the purpose of clearing wagering requirements;

• Moving from high risk betting to low risk betting after a big win, for the purposes of clearing wagering requirements;

• Delaying, postponing or intentionally leaving any game round, free spin, bonus feature, gamble feature or similar in-game feature unfinished while having an active bonus;

• Completing such rounds or features after the wagering requirements have been met, after the bonus has expired, after the bonus has been forfeited, or after making a subsequent deposit;

• Playing games with an active bonus to build up value, converting the bonus and then cashing out the accumulated value afterwards;

• Any other strategies or activities that we, in our sole and absolute discretion, deem to be abusive.

Based on the evidence available and in accordance with Clause 7.20, together with Clauses 9.3 and 9.4 of our Terms and Conditions, the actions taken on this account were applied in line with our established rules and procedures.


As a result of the confirmed breach, the winnings generated through the abusive activity were removed from the account. However, as a gesture of good faith, we will refund the player's deposited funds. Please note that only the original deposits will be returned, while all winnings and gains generated through the abusive activity will remain confiscated in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.

We believe the matter has been fully reviewed, the relevant evidence has been presented, and our decision remains unchanged.

Should any additional clarification be required, we remain available to assist.


Best regards,

Slim King Casino Support Team
