The player from Australia reports that spinjo1.com confiscated his winnings of $4800 AUD, claiming he exceeded the maximum bet for a bonus, although he denies this and has not received any proof. He believes he has been scammed.

After trying to withdraw my winnings they confiscated my winnings with a made up excuse that my bet exceeds they maximum bet for the bonus that I've received nor that I've made a bet that exceed anything nor they show me any proof of that either

Dear Shmikmik,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. I checked the Bonus Policy and I found this:
2.2. The maximum bet while wagering is 5 EUR, 5 USD, 7.5 CAD, 7.5 AUD, 7.5 NZD, 50 NOK, 100 ZAR, or the equivalent in other currencies, unless otherwise specified. For cryptocurrency bets, the maximum bet is determined by the crypto equivalent of 5 EUR at the time the bet is placed, based on the exchange rate provided by Coinbase Converter. Players are advised to check the exchange rate at the time of betting for accuracy. The maximum bet limit applies to all wagers, including those placed after doubling a bet following a completed game round or during bonus rounds purchased within a game. Violating this rule will result in the forfeiture of all winnings derived from the bonus.
Our position is explained in the 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 in Excel format, together with a link to the specific bonus that you redeemed and played. My email address is veronika.f@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,
Veronika
