I am reaching out to Casino Guru because you are widely recognized as one of the most reputable and effective platforms for resolving disputes between players and online casinos.
Summary of dispute: The casino confiscated €500.72 from my balance after I cancelled a bonus that I was required to cancel in order to request a withdrawal. I believe the confiscation is unjustified because my winnings were generated using real money, not bonus funds, and the bonus cancellation was not voluntary.
Timeline and facts
Dec 16: I deposited €200 and received a €100 sports bonus with a x10 wagering requirement.
I placed several sports bets. According to the casino’s rules, real money is used first when playing with an active bonus.
After betting, my bankroll reached approximately €400 total, composed of €300 real money + €100 bonus. No bonus winnings were generated (my winnings came from real money stakes).
I requested a withdrawal of €300. The casino system required me to cancel my active bonus before allowing the withdrawal to proceed. I cancelled the bonus only because withdrawal was otherwise impossible.
The €300 real money remained/was returned to my account balance.
My withdrawal was then cancelled twice: first due to payment method issues, then for KYC verification. I complied with all requests, and my identity and payment method were fully verified.
After completing KYC, I continued playing with real money and increased my balance to approximately €700.
I submitted a new withdrawal request for €700.
The casino then cancelled this withdrawal, removed €500.72 from my balance citing clause 58.3.11 (forfeiture upon bonus cancellation), and returned only my last deposit of €200.
My position
My winnings were generated with real money, not bonus funds.
Bonus cancellation was forced by the casino’s withdrawal flow, not a voluntary choice, and should not justify confiscating real-money winnings.
The casino did not address these points and only replied that "the decision is final."
Requested resolution
I request the restoration of the €500.72 removed from my balance.
Evidence available
Best regards
