Spinoloco Casino - Player’s winnings have been confiscated.

Title: Spinoloco confiscated €278.47 winnings due to delayed bonus activation and technical error.

I am filing a formal complaint against Spinoloco regarding the unfair confiscation of my winnings (€278.47).

Exact Timeline of Events (February 22, 2026):

02:10 – I deposited €20 for the first time. The welcome bonus was NOT credited to my account.

02:50 – After waiting and seeing no bonus, I made a SECOND deposit of €20. This was a "Raw Cash" (real money) deposit.

02:56 – Just 6 minutes later, I won €278.47 in "Gates of Olympus" after purchasing a bonus feature.

The Problem:

During my session with the second deposit, the Spinoloco support manually activated the missing bonus from my FIRST deposit. They did this without any notification while I was already playing. They then used this "active bonus" as an excuse to void my winnings, claiming I violated the "no bonus buy" rule.

My Arguments:

The winnings were generated using funds from my second deposit (Real Money), not the delayed bonus.

It is mathematically impossible to have spent the second €20 deposit and started using bonus funds in just 6 minutes.

Spinoloco failed to credit the bonus on time and then "forced" it onto my account during an active real-money session to avoid paying out my win.

I request the restoration of my winnings (€278.47) as the breach of terms was a direct result of the casino's technical delay and manual intervention.

Dear Zaczek0405,

Thank you for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re experiencing and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. To help me fully understand the situation and assist you as quickly as possible, could you please answer a few brief questions?

• When was the bonus credited? Could you please post a screenshot of your bonus history here in this thread?
• Have you attempted to contact the casino regarding the missing bonus amount before you deposited for the second time?

We will do our best to resolve this issue promptly. Thank you in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

dear Kristina Thank you for your assistance. Below are the answers to your questions based on my account records:

​When was the bonus credited? The bonus (noted as "Goodwill Bonus" in my account) was manually activated by the casino after a long delay. Crucially, it was added while I was already in the middle of a session funded by my second real-money deposit.

​Bonus History: I am attaching a screenshot of my bonus section. It shows the "Goodwill Bonus" which was used as the pretext to void my winnings, even though my play was funded by a separate cash deposit.

​Contact regarding the missing bonus: Yes, I contacted Live Chat immediately after my first deposit of €20 at 02:10 because the expected bonus was missing. After waiting 40 minutes without a resolution, I made a second deposit of €20 at 02:50 to play with my own cash.

​The Timeline of Evidence:​02:10 – First deposit (€20), bonus failed to credit.

​02:50 – Second deposit (€20), played as "Raw Cash".

​02:56 – Win of €278.47.

​As the win occurred only 6 minutes after my second cash deposit, it is clear I was not playing with bonus funds. I believe the casino retroactively applied bonus restrictions to my cash session to avoid paying my winnings.

​Best regards,

Thank you very much for your reply, Zaczek0405. Could you please forward all relevant correspondence between you and the casino to kristina.s@casino.guru? If it’s more convenient, you may also post screenshots here. I understand this may take time, so I appreciate your assistance.

Hello, unfortunately I don't have screenshots of the conversation with live chat, I was looking for it, I was sure I had done it and I only found the last message, I was nervous at the time

Hello Zaczek0405,

We would like to update you that due to Kristina, your designated resolver, being on vacation, we have opted to extend the timeline by an additional 7 days. Since Kristina has an in-depth understanding of your situation and maintains direct communication with the casino, we find this extension justified. Your patience is sincerely appreciated, and I assure you that Kristina will contact you at the earliest opportunity.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing patience.

Best regards, Casino Guru

I am confident that we can resolve this matter positively as well, even though it is much more complex than the Mostbet case."

Hello Zaczek0405,

I am sorry to hear about your troubles.

I would like to invite the casino representative into the case:

Dear casino representative, could you please check the case and explain to us what happened?

Hello Matej, I hope this problem will be solved. It's been a month now and I'm slowly losing hope that Spinloco will finally admit their mistake and return my winnings.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused and thank you for reaching out to us. We are here to clarify the situation in the best possible way.

We would like to inform you that the "Goodwill Added" refers to a bonus granted on your first deposit, which was applied by a customer support agent during your interaction, with the aim of assisting in resolving the issue you experienced.

However, it is important to note that, according to our Terms and Conditions, in order to make a withdrawal using bonus funds, it is necessary to fully meet the wagering requirements. Additionally, as shown in our records, this bonus was subsequently canceled by you when you requested its withdrawal.

If you have any further questions or need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us. We remain at your disposal to assist you.

about a situation that occurred during my last session.

​After my first deposit, I contacted you because I didn't receive the bonus. It was still missing after my second deposit of €20. With that balance, I opened the game "Gates of Olympus" and used my funds to purchase a "Bonus Buy" (free spins). This is a feature I use frequently.

​During the bonus round, I hit a win, but I noticed that the winnings were not credited to my account. Instead, my balance suddenly reset to €20—exactly as if I had never purchased the spins in the first place.

​I immediately left the game to contact support, and only then was I told that a bonus had been activated. I feel cheated because:

​The bonus was activated by you manually while I was already in the middle of a game session.

​I should be the one to decide when to activate a bonus, not the support team.

​The activation interfered with my active game, causing my winnings to disappear.

​This is unacceptable. I expect a full investigation into why my winnings were not recorded and why the bonus was forced onto my account during active play.

​I am an experienced player with accounts at dozens of casinos, and I will not be misled regarding how slot mechanics work. Please address the following points:

​Evidence of Winning: I have a photo of the winning screen. While I didn't expect to be cheated on my first day, this evidence clearly shows the result of the round.

​Order of Funds: In almost every casino, "Real Money" is used first before "Bonus Money." My €20 was a cash deposit. Even if you manually activated a bonus, it should not have cancelled a win generated from my real funds.

​Technical Proof (The "Max Bet" Rule): This is the most important point. We were playing a Pragmatic Play slot. If a bonus had been active on my account, the system would have blocked me from purchasing the "Bonus Buy" feature, as the cost (€20) far exceeds the standard €5 maximum bet limit allowed during wagering.

​The Contradiction: Since the game allowed me to purchase the feature, it confirms that no bonus was active at the time of the transaction. The fact that the winnings vanished and the balance reset to exactly €20 after the round proves a technical intervention or a synchronization error on your end.

​I demand that my winnings be restored. Your logs will clearly show that the "Bonus Buy" was initiated with cash, and your manual activation of a bonus mid-session interfered with my gameplay. I chose your casino based on recommendations, but this experience has been highly unprofessional.

Dear Spinoloco Casino Representative,

Could you please provide us with the game log from this session? (matej@casino.guru)

Thank you.

I would like to inform you that we are already working on resolving this complaint; however, I am waiting for a response from Casino Guru to provide all the necessary information to complete this complaint.

Dear Spinoloco Casino Representative,

I apologize for the delayed reply — I was attending a conference. Could you please let me know how you contacted me? I am unable to locate your email.

Matej i sent you a direct message on Teams.

I’m sorry, but I can’t find your message. Could you please send it again?

Dear Matej,

​I believe that Spinoloco Casino is intentionally prolonging this process, hoping that I will eventually give up. They are deeply mistaken. I am prepared to wait a little longer, but if this continues, I will take the same steps I took with the scammers from Mostbet: I will escalate the matter further and file official complaints on every available platform until justice is served.

​This has been dragging on for over two months now. I am convinced that Spinoloco’s dishonest support team has no intention of resolving this. They keep claiming their "team is working on it," which is frankly laughable. What kind of professional team is unable to resolve a simple issue for over two months? It is embarrassing that a casino making millions is making a fool of itself over a mere €278. The whole situation is simply pathetic

Dear Player, I understand that you are disappointed; however, as I previously mentioned, I have already contacted Mr. Matej directly to clarify exactly what information is required from Spinoloco.

Please rest assured that we are here to assist you and to resolve this matter in the best possible way, so you can remain calm.

At this moment, I am only waiting for Matej’s response so that we can close this case as quickly as possible.

Spinoloco Team

Dear Spinoloco Casino Representative and Zaczek0405,

I believe the delay in this case was caused by a miscommunication at the beginning. The important thing is that we have now established email communication and can move forward with resolving the case.

As mentioned in my email, it is important to create a clear timeline of events so we can review what happened, determine when the bonus was activated, and track the balance accordingly.

To proceed, we will need both the game log and the deposit log.

Dear Casino Guru Team,

I would like to request a response to the emails and messages sent so that we can close this case.

I remain at your disposal for anything you may need.

Dear Spinoloco Casino Representative,

I have already requested the player’s game log via email twice. If you would like to proceed with closing the case, please provide this information so I can verify what happened during the player’s session with the second deposit (without a bonus).

Thank you.

I have sent via email the information currently available in our system while I am still arranging the additional information requested.

I am prioritizing this case so that we can resolve it as quickly as possible.

Spinoloco Team

Please let me know in the complaint when the game log will be available, or if you have already sent it to my email.

Matej,

After a further review with our technology department regarding this case, we received confirmation that the player was using an active bonus at the time the bet was placed. As a result of using this bonus, the winnings obtained were associated with the bonus balance.

During the round already mentioned, the player had an active bonus and obtained winnings related to this bonus. Once the bonus was cancelled, the associated winnings were automatically removed in accordance with the rules established in our Terms and Conditions.

We understand that this situation may have been confusing for the player, especially since they stated that they did not want the bonus. However, this is an automatic system procedure that applies equally to all players, as stipulated in our rules.

Nevertheless, as a gesture of goodwill and empathy, if the player wishes, we can add a €20 bonus corresponding to the amount of the deposit made and 20 free spins on Gates of Olympus 1000.

Spinoloco Team

Dear Spinoloco Casino Representative and Zaczek0405,

Thanks to the Spinoloco team, we were able to reconstruct the timeline of the incident.

Here is what happened:

• On 22 February 2026 at 1:09, Zaczek0405 made the first deposit and noticed that the bonus had not been credited to the account.
• The player then contacted customer support and requested the bonus to be added manually.
• According to the logs, the bonus was credited at 1:45.
• At 1:48, the second deposit was made.
• At 1:52, Zaczek0405 started playing, and the first completed round resulted in winnings.
• Immediately after that round, the bonus was cancelled, which also resulted in the cancellation of the associated winnings.

Based on the timeline of events, we must conclude that the casino acted correctly in this case.

Our decision is based on the following facts:

• The bonus was not credited during the winning round, as initially described by the player.
• The bonus was manually requested by the player and subsequently credited following that request.
• Although there may not have been a pop-up notification confirming the bonus activation, the updated balance reflected the credited bonus.
• There was a 7-minute gap between the moment the bonus was credited and the winning round took place.

We understand that the overall experience was frustrating and resulted from an unfortunate sequence of events, and we are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

As a gesture of goodwill, the casino representative has offered compensation in the form of a new bonus consisting of free spins worth the original bonus value (€20).

This is ridiculous, let him keep his bonus, I will never play there again, luckily there are still honest casinos like Vavada and they are usually thieves

Dear Zaczek0405,

I genuinely want to help you with this case and make sure that all relevant facts are properly considered.

If you disagree with the reconstructed timeline of events or believe that any part of it is inaccurate, please let us know and provide your comments or arguments regarding the specific points in question.

Likewise, if there is any additional evidence, screenshots, communication with support, or other details that you believe may be relevant, please feel free to share them with us. We are still open to reviewing any new information you may provide.

It's hard, and I won't prove my point anyway. Let my complaint be a warning to others that Spinoloco doesn't deserve a high rating. I have accounts in over 100 casinos and nothing like this has ever happened to me. Even if this bonus was active, it doesn't matter, it was for the first deposit. Why am I bound by the terms and conditions of the first deposit bonus? This is nonsense. Bonuses in other casinos are simply non-whistleblowing, and their bonus is a scam, a trap, not a bonus. I fell for it. It's a thieves' den. I will never deposit a cent there, and I advise everyone to steer clear of this casino. There are plenty of cool, honest casinos. The matter is unresolved and will remain so. I disagree with them, but I have no way to prove it. It's hard.

​"It’s clear that proving my point here is an uphill battle, so let my complaint simply serve as a warning to others. SpinoLoco does not deserve its high rating. I have accounts in over 100 different casinos and I have never encountered anything like this before.

​Even if a bonus was active, it was tied to my first deposit. It makes no sense for those restrictive conditions to still apply to my subsequent play – it's complete nonsense. In reputable casinos, bonuses are typically 'non-sticky,' meaning they don't lock your real cash. Their bonus system is nothing but a trap designed to catch players off guard, and unfortunately, I fell for it.

​I'm writing this off as a loss, but they won't see another cent from me. My advice to everyone: stay far away from this casino. There are plenty of great, honest casinos out there that actually value their players. Avoid this place at all costs."

I would like to thank both parties for their cooperation.

Despite the negative comment from Zaczek0405, I would like to highlight the timeline of events once again and point out that we spent a significant amount of time reconstructing the full sequence of events.

Here is what happened:

• On 22 February 2026 at 1:09, Zaczek0405 made the first deposit and noticed that the bonus had not been credited to the account.
• The player then contacted customer support and requested the bonus to be added manually.
• According to the logs, the bonus was credited at 1:45.
• At 1:48, the second deposit was made.
• At 1:52, Zaczek0405 started playing, and the first completed round resulted in winnings.
• Immediately after that round, the bonus was cancelled, which also resulted in the cancellation of the associated winnings.

Based on the timeline of events, we must conclude that the casino acted correctly in this case and therefore we are rejecting the case.
