Good day.

Recently I bought a few bonus games with real money at this casino (Goldenbet) and then redeemed them one after the other. At first things didn't go so well, but then I was very lucky in the game "Sweet Bonanza" where I won about €1650. In total I then had €2250 with the other small winnings. I wanted to pay them out, but the application was declined.

The bad thing is that the application was not only rejected, but 2050€ were simply withdrawn and I was only given back the last deposit of 200€.

Questions as to why my winnings were confiscated go unanswered and I just can't let it go.

I am aware that casinos are not legally required to provide accurate information about such decisions, however it is of great concern that this is being exploited as soon as one makes a major win, it seems.

my trust in this casino and the operators has dropped a lot and I hope for an explanation about this decision!

Dear Simonb92,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely. Do I understand correctly that you accumulated these winnings with bonus features? Could you please clarify in which games you bought bonus games except for Sweet Bonanza?

Additionally, if there is any existing communication between you and the casino, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru. Alternatively, you can post it here. 

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Kristina

Thank you for taking my case.

Inspired by a YouTube channel, I bought various bonus games with real money and then redeemed them one after the other afterwards. I am aware that this is forbidden with bonus credit, which is why I took extra care not to have any active bonus credit while making these bonus purchases.


I don't remember all the games by heart, but besides winning Sweet Bonanza there were: Money Train 2/3, Frutz, Gates of Olympus, Treasure Wild, Stack 'Em, Muertos Megaways, Gladiator legends (I think), Sugar Rush, Great Rhino Megaways and some more that I might research as I go along if needed.


However, the main profit came from the game "Sweet Bonanza" in which I had a profit of around €1600 with a stake of €160.


The casino has processed my request and refrains from explaining why.


Yours sincerely, Simon B***
