Spinbara Casino - Player’s winnings have been capped.

Closed
Our verdict

Unjustified complaint

Amount: €900

Spinbara Casino
Safety Index 8.3 High

Case summary

The player from Germany reported that over €900 had been deleted from his account after he used a 100% bonus he received via SMS. He stated that he had €1,400 in real money after wagering the bonus, but was informed that he could only withdraw ten times the deposited amount, which had not been mentioned in the bonus offer. He sought assistance to recover his funds. We resolved the complaint by confirming that the casino provided direct evidence showing the maximum bonus release limit had been displayed within the bonus details at the time of activation, though not in the SMS. The winnings cap was applied in line with the bonus terms, so a refund of the capped amount was not requested. The player was informed about the licensing authority for further complaints if desired.

Hello dear Casino Guru Team,


Unfortunately, over €900 was deleted from my account. I had been playing with a 100% bonus that I received via SMS. After fully wagering the bonus, I had €1,400 in real money in my account. However, €900 of that was deleted.


I then went to the live chat to ask why the €900 had been removed. There, I was told that I was only allowed to receive ten times the deposited amount. However, the text message regarding the 100% bonus made no mention of a tenfold limit.


Please help me get my 900 euros back.



I'll upload a photo of the text message.

It's the text message from 5:02 PM.

I only received the text message about the 100% bonus, and there was no mention of x10 or anything like that. Even during the wagering process, there was no mention of x10; only after I had completed the wagering requirements did she tell me in the live chat that it was stated in the terms and conditions.

I played several games. The live chat told me I'd only receive 10 times my deposited amount. I deposited €50 and was only allowed to keep €500 of the €1400 bonus; the remaining €900 was deleted. But as you can see, the bonus terms don't mention anything about a 10x bonus. And I've never seen anything like that with a 100% bonus, where you only get 10 times your deposit.

Hello everyone!


Dear Blumenkind82,

 

Thank you for your patience. We really sorry for this technical issue occured. We kindly inform you that we have reviewed your concern regarding the maximum release limit on your recent bonus.

 

Upon investigation with our CRM team, we can confirm that the specific terms governing this offer were available directly under the promotion details at the time of activation.

 

To clarify, the Terms and Conditions explicitly stated the following regarding the payout limits:

 

"Max bonus release is x10 from the bonus amount awarded."

 

As these terms were displayed prior to the bonus being claimed and used, the limit has been applied to your balance in accordance with these rules. You can find the full breakdown of the Reload Bonus terms below:

 

-Offer Availability: 24 hours from the time stated in 'My Bonuses'.

 

-Bonus Value: 100% up to 300 €.

 

-Minimum Deposit: 30 €.

 

-Wagering Requirements: x35 (Deposit + Bonus).

 

-Maximum Bet: 5 €.

 

We hope this clarifies the matter. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

 

Best regards,

Spinbara Team

Dear casino representative,


thank you very much for your response. Would it be possible for you to provide us with a screenshot of the offer you mention? I have checked the terms and conditions of other reload bonuses and there truly are mentions of a x10 maximum cashout - but only for players from Thailand, Brazil, Chile and Peru. Please specify whether this could be the source of any misunderstanding.

Hello Martina, as you can see in my photo, there's no mention of x10, and there was no mention of x10 during activation either. What's also new to me is that with a 100% bonus, only x10 is paid out. If I don't receive my money this time, please give me the address of the licensing authority. I'm getting fed up; I played fairly and won, and then they just say it's only x10, even though there was no mention of x10.

Dear Blumenkind82,


After once again evaluating all the information, I can confirm that the casino has provided us with direct evidence showing that the maximum bonus release limit was displayed within the bonus details at the time of activation. While this condition may not have been included in the SMS itself, it was available in the promotion terms inside the casino interface before the bonus was used.

Based on this, we must conclude that the winnings cap was applied in line with the bonus terms, and unfortunately, we are unable to request a refund of the capped amount in this instance.

Thank you for your cooperation and for sharing all relevant materials with us. We truly appreciate the time and effort you invested, and we wish you the best in your future gaming experience.

You have mentioned you would like to contact the licensing authority as well. For this particular casino, that would be Anjouan Gaming Licensing Authority and you can submit a complaint through the website validator you can find in the footer of the casino's website or at https://anjouangaming.com/submit-dispute/.


However, I must tell you that I believe the outcome will most likely be the same.


Kind regards,

Martin
