Case summary

3 months ago

The player from Mexico had won $2000 MXN from free spins and continued to win more after meeting all betting requirements. After requesting a withdrawal, the casino removed the winnings, citing a violation of the 10% betting rule, which the player was unaware of, and received no response when asked for details. The Complaints Team reviewed the situation and found that the casino was within its rights to enforce the maximum bet rule as per industry standards. However, the player did not respond to requests for further information, which led to the rejection of the complaint.

I received an email with an offer for seven free spins on a slot game—though I don't remember the name. After playing, I won $600 MXN and met the betting requirements of 40x. Upon fulfilling these requirements, I earned the maximum win of $2000 MXN. After this, I continued playing, verified my account, earned more winnings, and made a deposit. My winnings kept increasing, so I requested a withdrawal. My account was verified, and I waited the three-day processing period. However, once it was over, I received an email saying my withdrawal couldn't be processed due to a violation of the 10% betting rule, which I am unfamiliar with. I replied asking for specific details about which game or term was violated, but I didn't get any response, and my winnings were removed from my account. I hope you can help me.

Dear hioj9511,


Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience. I checked the bonus T&Cs and I found this:

3. Betting more than €4.00 per spin or 10% of the received bonus amount (the smaller of the two). For a received bonus amount of less than €2.00, the allowed maximum bet is €0.20.


Our position is closely explained in Fair Gambling Codex:

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 together with a link to the specific bonus that you redeemed and played. My email address is kristina.s@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,

Kristina
