Slot Mafia Casino - Player’s winnings are confiscated.

• I had an account balance of approximately $2,000 AUD of my own deposited funds before activating a fixed-value bonus.

• I accepted a $20 AUD fixed-value bonus with a 12.5x wagering requirement, requiring approximately $250 AUD in wagering.

• The bonus was activated at approximately 11:21 AM and was fully wagered and completed by approximately 11:44 AM, after which the bonus was no longer active.

• During the bonus wagering period, I purchased a feature, which caused me to exceed the maximum bet limit applicable while a bonus is active. I acknowledge that this may justify the confiscation of bonus winnings only, as per clause 2.2.

Important distinction:

• After the wagering requirement was completed and the bonus ended, I continued playing exclusively with my own funds, not bonus funds.

• I subsequently won approximately $14,300 AUD using real money, after the bonus was no longer active.

• No bonus funds were active or in use at the time these winnings were generated.

Casino action in dispute:

The casino claims that the $14,300 was derived from the $250 bonus wagering balance.

This is factually incorrect, as:

• I already had $2,000 AUD of my own funds in my balance prior to the bonus.

• The bonus wagering was completed earlier and the bonus had ended before the winning session occurred.

• Clause 2.2 explicitly states that breaching the maximum bet rule results in confiscation of bonus winnings, not real-money winnings obtained after the bonus has ended.

Relevant Terms:

• Clause 2.2 limits penalties to bonus winnings only.

• Clauses 7.6–7.8 apply only where there is intentional bonus exploitation, which did not occur.

• Clause 1.13 confirms that bonuses are canceled separately from other real-money balances.

I am requesting:

• Full payment of my real-money winnings ($14,300 AUD)

• Acceptance of forfeiture of any bonus-related winnings if deemed necessary

I am not disputing the casino’s right to cancel the bonus.

I am disputing the confiscation of real-money winnings earned after the bonus was completed.

I am happy to provide:

• Game history

• Timestamps

• Video evidence showing the bonus balance being lost and play continuing with real funds

Dear Browny16,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue regarding your winnings being confiscated, especially considering your explanation about the bonus being completed prior to the winning session.

To better understand the situation and verify the timeline, could you please clarify or provide the following details?

• Were any funds marked as "bonus balance" at any point during the session in which you won the $14,300 AUD?
• Have the casino representatives specifically confirmed in writing that the winnings were confiscated due to exceeding the maximum bet rule, or did they list any additional reasons?

You already provided some screenshots, which is helpful — thank you. To proceed, could you also share the full game history and transaction history that covers:

• The deposits and balance before activating the bonus
• The entire bonus wagering period
• The session/wins after the bonus ended

If the casino offers a downloadable history file or activity log, please send that too. You can forward any files or screenshots to petronela.k@casino.guru.

Your cooperation in providing these details will help us investigate and work towards a resolution.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Petronela

Hi Browny16,

Thank you very much for forwarding your detailed game history and timestamps — I confirm that I have received them via email, and they will be very helpful for our review.

Before we proceed further, I would like to clarify one more important detail regarding the moment when the bonus ended:

• After completing the wagering requirement on the $20 fixed-value bonus, did you lose the entire remaining balance that originated from this bonus, or did the casino confiscate the remaining bonus-related funds?
• Once the bonus balance was gone, did you continue to play directly from your existing real-money balance of approximately $2,000 AUD, or did you make any additional deposits at that point before the winning session took place?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hi,

Thank you for your message and for the opportunity to clarify.

To address your questions:

• After completing the wagering requirement on the $20 fixed-value bonus, the remaining balance associated with the bonus was lost through gameplay and the bonus balance was fully exhausted. At that point, the bonus was no longer active.

• After the bonus funds were gone, I had an existing real-money balance of approximately $2,000 AUD. I initially requested a withdrawal of this balance; however, the withdrawal was declined / cancelled, and the funds were returned to my account. I then continued playing using this same existing real-money balance. No additional deposits were made before the winning session took place. You should be able to see this in the gameplay history where it states balance.

All wagering and winnings that occurred after the bonus balance was exhausted were therefore made using my own real funds.

Please let me know if you require any further information.

Kind regards,

Jack

Hello,

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention and for your patience while we reviewed the case once again.

After a thorough re-check, we can confirm that the confiscation in question was applied in error. The issue has now been fully resolved, and the previously confiscated funds have been returned to the player’s balance.

We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Should there be any further questions or clarifications needed, we remain available.

Thank you for confirming the issue was resolved and for returning the funds.

Given that the balance was unavailable to me for over a month due to an error, I’d like to kindly request whether the full amount can be paid out to my bank account without weekly withdrawal limits, or otherwise prioritised for immediate withdrawal. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in closing this matter fully.

We'd like to inform everyone following this case that the player has marked this complaint as resolved using the dedicated button.
