The player from Spain had had an issue with a bonus offer at an online casino. After depositing €50 and using a 100% deposit match worth €50, his casino balance had dropped to zero. This had indicated that the bonus had expired during his play, despite there being no specified expiration date for bonus use. The player had communicated with the casino through chat and sent screenshots to the Complaints Team. The casino had not initially responded to the complaint, but eventually re-credited the €50 bonus back to the player's account as a goodwill gesture. The player had accepted this resolution and the complaint had been marked as 'resolved'.

Well, it's quite simple to explain. I received an SMS with a bonus from this casino, which I duly claimed on the last day that the offer was valid. After depositing 50 euros, I began to play. The offer was for a 100% deposit match, requiring a 30x wager. I had around 100 euros after about 30 minutes of play... suddenly, my balance dropped to zero, and I was informed that the bonus had expired. Excuse me? While the offer validity period may have expired, there was no mentioned expiration on gameplay or wagering. Yet, my funds were withdrawn, just like that. It feels like a scam. They argue that since the offer validity was expiring, if you claim it one minute beforehand, they can simply take your money, even though this rule is nowhere to be found. I’m attaching a screenshot showing today's deposit and the activation of the bonus.

Good afternoon again. Communication with the casino was through chat. There was no communication by mail. If because of this error you have to close the complaint, do so and I will tell you sincerely. The same reason I told you and it is in the email I sent you (which I don't know if you received) that the financial amount was withdrawn 30 minutes after starting the bonus, something unprecedented, at least for me. You cannot offer a 50x bonus with 30 minutes. When I acquire it I understand that the remaining bonus time is to use it, not to fulfill the wager. Normally it is 48 hours at least. If you have not received my emails, tell me and we will establish another communication and shipping system. But I repeat, if the fact of not having spoken by email with the casino since the chat made it very clear to me what was happening is an error for which I should withdraw my complaint, then tell me and that's it, although I may or may not agree . Thank you anyway for your interest and I sincerely hope to continue with the complaint because other players could fall into this error or "trap" of accessing a bonus with a literally impossible time to meet the wager.

Well, it is not my intention to keep this contentious because I am not one of those stories. If the casino becomes aware that it should not offer a bonus that ends in minutes (which was my only intention) I can close the complaint as it turns out. Thanks to Casino Guru, as always for coming forward, and in this case to Frumzi because I am sure that together we will have reached a positive conclusion for the user. Good afternoon and sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
