The player from Austria reported that after fulfilling the wagering requirements for a deposit bonus at Winrolla, his balance of €1,480 was unexpectedly reduced to €80 without prior notice. He asserted that there were no clear payout limits specified in the bonus conditions and requested a full restoration of his balance. After reviewing the evidence and communications, including the casino's provision of an email detailing the bonus terms with a maximum profit limit of 5x, it was concluded that the casino had reasonably communicated the bonus restrictions. Although the player raised concerns about the transparency and prominence of these terms, the casino acted in accordance with the agreed terms, and no misrepresentation or withholding of information was identified. Therefore, the complaint was closed as unjustified.
Winrolla Casino - Player's bonus profits have been reduced.
Unjustified complaint
Amount: €1,400
Winrolla Casino
Safety Index:HighCase summary
Translation
**Casino:** Winrolla
**License:** Anjouan
**Type of complaint:** Bonus / Profit reduction
**Disputed amount:** €1,400 (reduced from €1,480 to €80)
I used a **deposit bonus** at this casino and properly fulfilled the full **wagering requirement of approximately €2,600**.
After fulfilling the bonus conditions, my balance was **€1,480**.
Subsequently, my credit balance was **unilaterally and without prior notice** reduced to **€80**.
### Important points:
* This was explicitly a **deposit bonus**, not free spins or a no deposit bonus.
* **In the bonus menu and in the displayed bonus conditions**, **no maximum payout limit**, **no 5x limit** and **no €80 cap** were specified.
* I have thoroughly reviewed the **entire terms and conditions**.
The payout limits mentioned there (e.g. for free spins or no deposit bonuses) are **clearly regulated separately** and **not applicable to deposit bonuses**.
* Despite repeated requests, support was unable to provide me with any specific terms and conditions or bonus clause that justifies this reduction.
### Why I am filing the complaint:
In my view, the reduction of my credit balance constitutes a **subsequent, non-transparent contract amendment**.
Without a clearly communicated limit in advance, there is **no legal or contractual basis** to cap profits retrospectively.
### Desired solution:
I demand the **full restoration of my balance (€1,480)
### Proofs:
* Screenshots of the bonus menu
* Screenshots of the relevant terms and conditions
* Balance before and after the reduction
* Communication with support

Hello,
Thank you very much for submitting this complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the problem you’re experiencing. Please allow me to ask you a few questions to clarify your situation.
- Could you please send me a link to the bonus you activated and played with? If you only have screenshots, would it be possible to include screenshots of the rules for this specific bonus as well?
- Have you contacted the casino’s customer support after your winnings were reduced? If so, what explanation were you given?
- Have you previously accumulated winnings using bonuses at this casino? If yes, were your winnings ever capped in a similar way?
- Could you please send me a screenshot of your bonus history so we can verify that no other bonuses were active apart from the 33% bonus up to €777?
I hope we will be able to help you resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards
Veronika
TranslationI sent them an email with all the information.
TranslationHere you can see the bonus without limit, the terms and conditions, and the progress.
This is fraud if it is not resolved.
Could you please open the Bonus Terms directly under the 33% bonus and send me a screenshot of them? This will help us verify the exact conditions that applied to your bonus.
TranslationI want to clarify that I can no longer provide a screenshot of the bonus terms and conditions, as the bonus in question has already been fully completed. The bonus is no longer active, which is why the original bonus terms and conditions are no longer accessible.
At the time I took the screenshot, the "Bonus Conditions" field simply led to the general terms and conditions (GTC). Even now, clicking this field only redirects to the GTC. However, these GTC **do not clearly and unambiguously** state that a *deposit bonus* is subject to a maximum winnings limit of 5x. Such a limit is only mentioned for **no-deposit bonuses**.
At no point was there any clear, transparent, and easily visible information about a maximum payout of 5x for deposit bonuses. Had this restriction been displayed clearly and unambiguously – as is common practice at many partner casinos that state the maximum payout directly and clearly in the bonus details – I would not have complained.
From my point of view, there is therefore a lack of transparency, since such a significant restriction as a profit limit should have been communicated clearly, unambiguously and directly in the bonus information and not indirectly or not at all apparent.

Thank you in advance.

TranslationLadies and Gentlemen
They state that I was notified of the bonus limit via email. However, I did not receive such an email. I therefore request that it be sent again, along with specific details of the date it was sent and the email address used.
Regardless, it is crucial that the limitation you mentioned is not clearly and unambiguously displayed on your website, either when activating the bonus or during the deposit process. Such a significant restriction constitutes a core contractual condition and must be transparent and unambiguously identifiable before the contract is concluded.
According to Section 305 Paragraph 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB), standard business terms and conditions are only effectively incorporated into a contract if the user expressly refers to them at the time of contract conclusion and provides the customer with a reasonable opportunity to become aware of their content. Furthermore, contractual clauses are subject to the transparency requirement pursuant to Section 307 Paragraph 1 Sentence 2 of the German Civil Code (BGB). Accordingly, provisions are invalid if they are not clearly and comprehensibly formulated or are not sufficiently recognizable for the other party to the contract.
If a bonus limit is not clearly displayed during the activation process or when making a deposit, and is instead only to be listed in separate terms and conditions or an (unreceived) email, there are significant doubts about the effective inclusion of this clause.
I therefore request a comprehensible legal justification as to the basis on which you nevertheless consider this limitation to be binding.
With friendly
Greet

TranslationHere's an example from a partner casino, or at least one with a similar structure. Bonuses and limitations must be displayed there, not hidden.
Dear Justininsel,
Following our previous correspondence, we are writing to confirm that all requested information and supporting documentation have been submitted for your review.
We kindly await the professional judgment and formal assessment regarding the details provided to the CasinoGuru forum representative.
We remain confident that this information clarifies our position and assists in reaching a fair resolution.
Kind Regards,
Winrolla Casino Team
Dear Winrolla Casino Team,
I am uncertain whether you have also sent the evidence to my email at michal.k@casino.guru, as I have not seen any recent correspondence from your side. I would appreciate it if I could examine the evidence as an independent party as well.
Dear Justininsel,
Has the situation been clarified for you now? If there’s still anything that remains unclear, please let us know.
Translation(Bonus conditions):
* Deposit: **€50**
* Bonus: **€16**
Total balance: **€66**
* According to the terms and conditions, I had to wager the **deposit + bonus 35 times**.
* This already corresponds to a minimum turnover of **€2310**.
* My actual sales were even higher.
* After I had fulfilled all the wagering requirements, I was informed that there is a **win limit of only 5 times the bonus amount**.
* In my case, this meant a maximum payout of **€80**.
Problems from my point of view:
* This profit limit was not clearly displayed in the **bonus offer itself**.
* Only a limit for **no deposit bonuses** is mentioned there.
* The limitation was apparently **only mentioned hidden in an email or in the fine print**.
Additionally, it was argued in the discussion that the casino sent out a **promotional email with this bonus** in which this limitation was mentioned.
I would like to add the following:
* This email ended up in my **spam folder** because I regularly receive many casino advertising emails.
* The prize limit is **not directly visible**, but only becomes apparent if you **scroll far down** in the email.
* In the **bonus offer on the website** that was actually displayed to me, this limitation was **not clearly visible**.
I also posted **screenshots** showing that this restriction was not clearly displayed in the bonus itself.
In my understanding, and also according to common **consumer protection principles**, essential contractual terms – especially those that severely limit profits – must be **clearly, transparently and directly displayed with the offer** before a user accepts that offer.
A **hidden mention in a promotional email or in the small print is not sufficient in my view**, as such restrictions are crucial for the decision to accept a bonus.
Therefore, I honestly **cannot understand** the decision that such an email is considered sufficient evidence.
I still find this design **very opaque and potentially misleading for players**.
@Casinoguru
I don't understand why they didn't address these issues with Winrolla.
Dear Michal,
We would like to ask you to check the response provided by mail.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Winrolla Casino Team
Thank you for the information and evidence provided, Winrolla Casino Team.
Dear Justininsel,
After reviewing all the information and evidence related to this matter, I have come to the following conclusion.
The information about the maximum win was reasonably clearly displayed in the bonus description prior to activation, and players can freely decide if they consider this bonus attractive or not.
You voluntarily claimed the bonus and, in doing so, agreed to the terms and conditions associated with it. While I can agree with your point that a more prominent or clearer presentation of the maximum win limit could be helpful, overlooking or perhaps ignoring the rules does not mean they are not in place.
From my review, the casino has provided the standard bonus restrictions information, and I have not identified anything to suggest that these were misrepresented or withheld. Additionally, if you were unsure about any rules, it is always a good step to check this with the casino support prior to claiming the bonus. This option was certainly available to you
With all this being said, as an independent entity, I have not identified any actions by the casino that fall outside of, or conflict with, their stated rules and procedures in this instance.
Please let me know if the matter has now been clarified or if you need assistance with anything else.
Dear Justininsel,
We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.
TranslationI didn't receive this bonus via email and can't find it, and this explanation is sufficient for me. One should clearly stay away from this casino, especially since the wagering requirements for this amount are simply a rip-off.
I mentioned several points that were completely ignored; I am not satisfied.
Dear Justininsel,
You certainly are fully entitled to your own opinion. I have provided our point of view on the situation as an independent dispute mediator. Additionally, you are free to pursue your case with the appropriate authorities if you still believe you are justified in your stance.
Regarding this: "I mentioned several points that were completely ignored; I am not satisfied."
Please clarify which points have been ignored.
TranslationYou can see this in the course of events. What bothers me most is how casinos can get away with things like this so easily. No transparency, not fair, absolutely not recommended.
Dear Justininsel,
Thank you for your response; however, I feel you have not addressed my previous question regarding this: "I mentioned several points that were completely ignored; I am not satisfied."
Please clarify which points have been ignored.
TranslationI acknowledge the result, but frankly, I'm not satisfied with it. From my perspective, I presented my points clearly and comprehensibly – especially regarding transparency in website discounts and what I consider to be disproportionately high sales requirements.
Instead, the focus here was essentially solely on this one aspect of the alleged email, which I neither consciously received nor noticed. The fact that such crucial information would be hidden somewhere at the end of an email strikes me as anything but transparent or customer-friendly.
Regardless, my overall impression remains that the casino's actions in this situation were unfair. Even if others here apparently see it differently, that doesn't change the fact that I find it unacceptable.
I have explained my point of view in detail – I can't add anything more at this point.
t do.
Dear Justininsel,
Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective.
After carefully reviewing all the information and evidence provided by both sides, our conclusion is based on the available evidence and the applicable terms and conditions. In this case, particular importance had to be given to the email communication, as it contained the relevant details regarding the bonus offer with which you gained the winnings and its requirements. While I understand your concerns about how prominently this information was presented, and agree that there is always room for improvement in terms of clarity and transparency, however, the bonus rules or restrictions themselves appear to have been communicated in a standard manner. As such, players are given the opportunity to decide whether they wish to proceed with an offer based on those terms or not.
I have not identified any indication that the bonus terms were misrepresented or withheld. While you mentioned that you did not consciously receive or notice the email, as proved above, we were provided with evidence confirming that it was sent to you, which we must take into consideration in our assessment.
As noted previously, not noticing, overlooking, or perhaps ignoring specific terms does not negate their applicability. If any part of an offer is unclear, contacting customer support beforehand is always a helpful step, and this option was certainly available in this case.
I understand that this is not the outcome you were hoping for. However, based on the information and evidence reviewed, we have concluded that the casino acted in accordance with the agreed terms. For this reason, the case will now be closed as Unjustified.
Going forward, I would recommend reviewing bonus terms carefully prior to activation and reaching out to support if anything is unclear, to help avoid similar situations.
Should you face any casino-related issues or concerns regarding casino games in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us, and we will try our best to assist you.

Michal
