Hello I hope your well, they give you the option to click on different options when depositing money, I normally never select them because I know your held into turning over such amount but I did for 85 free spins.

Have you been notified when $5 bonus was added to your account?

It must of been added when I deposited the last $30, I just wanted the free spins and didn't think about the bonus. There's no history in my transaction list on the website saying anything about me trying to withdrawal any money, I've been had and it's cost me

Hello Peedee78.


Unfortunatelly beaching the max bet rule is a legitime reason for not paying the winnings. I would like to know; the winnings were from the deposit of $30 + $5 bonus? This casino has a terrible rating, and in the past, they use dodgy and unfair practises to take away the winnings from the players, so I would like to know all the details.


Can you please check the deposit and bonus history in your account?

Hello I've just gone on and had a look at the history, the last deposit I made of $30NZD at 15.46 on the 24th and I received a bonus of $5 with this deposit. I continued to play as I had to turn over at least $3000NZD to be able to withdrawal any winnings. I had already accumulated my winnings and then at 19.02 on the 24th the $5 bonus was released into my account. as far as I'm concerned the winnings had nothing to do with the $5 bonus I received after the fact. I have saved the pages from my history list if you'd like me to send them to check the time etc let me know


thank you

Please send me your game history to matej@casino.guru


Unfortunatelly this casino is not answering to players complaints in the past few months. And because they are operating without the license, there is no jurisdiction where you can seek help.

I'm aware that I wont get anything out of this but these guys cant continue to take money and when they're meant to pay out just void the withdrawal on a bullshit reason

Thank you. If the casino answers to you, then you can ask the support agent to send you the game history in excel file. That's much better than doing screenshots.

Unfortunatelly Paul from your screenshot is not possible to determine if the last $5 promo was why the casino void your winnings. I also saw other promo bonuses what you took. I am afraid that I need to check your game log.


I would like to invite the casino representative into the case. Please provide me with Paul's game log on matej@casino.guru, and I'll check it.


Paul: Did you receive some email from the casino about what happened and why they void your winnings?

Hello I'm guessing the casino hasn't made contact like every other person that's had their winnings taken away

Unfortunatelly the casino is non-responsive. From Paul's email, it looks like the casino cancelled his winnings because he received a $5 bonus and therefore the max bet was only $1. Unfortunatelly we do not know if his winnings were from this bonus or real deposit what Paul made.

Because the casino didn't respond, we are closing this complaint as "unresolved."
