The player from Germany reported that after utilizing a deposit bonus code with a 150% bonus, his withdrawal was declined due to exceeding the maximum bet limit. Despite betting 8 NZD, which was accepted during gameplay, he learned that the casino claimed the maximum bet was actually 7.5 NZD, a detail that had not been clearly stated in the bonus terms. As a result, his winnings were confiscated, and his balance was reset to his initial deposit. The issue was resolved when the casino re-evaluated the situation and returned the previously confiscated winnings to the player, considering it a fair outcome.

Hey CasinoGuru Team,
I had a relatively bad experience with Slotmafia today.
I used your deposit bonus code "WED150" for a 150% deposit bonus. I deposited 89 NZD (~45€), wagered my funds, and ended up with 660 NZD. I submitted a withdrawal, uploaded the required documents for my KYC, and decided to wait. A few minutes later, I received an email stating that my withdrawal was declined because I exceeded the maximum bet. My bonus winnings were then confiscated, and my balance was reset to my deposit amount.
Some information about the maximum bet:
- The bonus terms and conditions state that the maximum bet is €5 (or the equivalent in another available currency).
The equivalent of €5 in NZD is 1:2, so €5 = 10 NZD. The highest bet I made was 8 NZD, which also went through in the slot and wasn't blocked. However, the casino subsequently told me that the maximum allowed bet was 7.5 NZD. Support also told me that this is stated in the terms and conditions and that I could have contacted support at any time, but this number is nowhere to be found in the bonus terms and conditions.
In short, my winnings were confiscated because I exceeded a maximum bet of 7.5 NZD, which is supposedly specified in the bonus terms and conditions, but is only very roughly stated and completely incomprehensible in the bonus terms and conditions.
Best regards
Kaan

Hello,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with StoneVegas Casino.
Please allow me to ask you a few questions so I can better understand the situation.
- Have you previously deposited and redeemed bonuses in this casino?
- Was the decision to play in New Zealand dollars your deliberate decision?
- Have you passed verification in the casino? Were you asked to submit documents to complete verification?
- Could you please send the email where you were accused of breaching the maximum bet? Send the email to me at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here
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.

TranslationHey Thomas,
Thank you for your reply! To answer your questions:
- Yes, I have made several deposits and redeemed several bonuses, but I have never received any withdrawals.
- Yes, it was my conscious decision because I personally get more play money out of it if I deposit in euros but play in New Zealand dollars.
- I wasn't asked to upload my verification documents, but I do so at every casino as a precaution in case I request a withdrawal. My identity and address have been verified by the casino, but the payment method documents haven't been reviewed yet.
- I'm uploading the screenshots of the emails here.
Best regards
