UNRESOLVED

Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Germany activated a bonus just to be told after completing the wagering that he was not entitled to any withdrawal from the promotional offer. We ended up closing the complaint as ‘unresolved’ because we consider the casino's decision to be against fair gambling.

Hello, it came when you made a deposit activate a bonus, now after you have won it says the bonus is only valid if you have deposited €150 without a bonus in the week Wiso the bonus can then be activated if I shouldn’t have been allowed to play with it, clearly a scam wins deleted because i was able to activate a bonus that was not for me how ridiculous such a scam casino unbelievable!!!

Dear Niklasplay24,

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. Have you activated any promotional offers in this casino in the past? Could you please forward the exact link for the bonus that you activated? Was it available inside your player's account or was it advertised on the main page for all the players?

If there's any relevant communication, please forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.

Thank you in advance for your reply and I hope we will be able to help you as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Petronela

So hey the offer is advertised on the website as per the photos attached apart from that the bonus was shown as available so on the casino deposit page you could just activate the bonus before depositing there was nothing about that €150 rule file

Here on the main page it only says that you can use the offer every Sunday and Saturday and not in a word that you have to deposit €150 real money a week !! And it's also cheeky that the bonus is displayed on the deposit page and can be activated without any problems and then credited after the deposit?! That's a joke, that's clearly intentional fraud as a player, you would have zero chance of noticing that the bonus may not be used! Something like that didn't have to happen and you just wouldn't have let unavailable bonuses be displayed to players who aren't allowed to use them anyway!! The casino is only concerned with deleting the winnings if someone wins and saying that you should have deposited €150 in real money in the week in which you want to use the bonus, but the bonus was available without activating it and it went without any problems just ridiculous! !

As you can see here in the photo just made, the Sunday bonus is still displayed with today and can also be activated although I already used the Saturday bonus yesterday, which was not actually intended for me and now the Sunday bonus is displayed to me today where I also have to have deposited 150€ real money in the week but is shown as available again?! That's cheating !!! would i use the bonus again and win exactly the same would happen the casino wants the player to use the bonus and then delete winnings!!

Hello Niklasplay24,


thank you for your comments.


Kindly know that when creating an account at Horus Casino players have to accept that they have read and understood the casino’s Terms and Conditions. The player is solely responsible for reading and accepting the casino's Terms and Conditions.


In Bonus Terms and Conditions, clause 10.4.6 states that "To ensure proper use of bonuses and fair play, HorusCasino.com considers claiming Weekend Party bonuses without any other clean deposit (i.e. deposit which is not matched with any bonus) during the week as irregular gameplay to take advantage of bonuses. Players must deposit at least 150€ during the week in order to be eligible for winnings generated with Weekend Party Bonuses if they later decide to play slot games with mentioned deposit and 300€ in case of table games play. In case of irregular play mentioned above, winnings generated with Weekend Party Bonuses will be forfeited and deposit returned."


There’s no intentional fraud or anything cheeky going on. Everything is stated in the Terms and Conditions which you read and accepted when you made an account in Horus Casino. All the bonuses shown in Cashier are there for all the players that have an account in Horus Casino.


The finance department based their decision to retract the winnings and return your deposit solely on the casino’s Terms and Conditions.


Best regards,


Anton

Hi all,

Thank you for your replies. I made some investigation and I have some notes for both parties.


Dear Horus Casino team,

There was a similar case seven months ago in a partner casino. The player received a weekend bonus that he wasn't eligible for because he didn't make enough "clean deposits" during the week. The complaint was closed as unresolved because the casino granted the bonus to the player even though he wasn't eligible for it and the most important condition wasn't present in the specific bonus terms. This means that the casino knew about the problem but still didn't bother to put the condition to the specific terms or display any sort of warning to the players and happily sends the offer to players by email but the most important condition is missing. The argument that this condition is present in the bonus terms is quite weak. The whole situation looks like a trap for casual players. If you want the players to know about this, why don't you display the condition in the specific bonus terms, especially when you know it caused problems in the past?


Dear Niklasplay24,

It was pointed out that you already submitted practically an identical complaint regarding a different casino in the past. It was the very same problem with a weekend bonus and you not making clean deposits during the week. My question is if you already had a problem with an identical bonus in the past, why weren't you more careful with the bonus conditions and didn't follow them? I can imagine that new players can easily make this mistake but it's hard to believe that it would happen twice without intention.


Based on the arguments above, we will have to discuss the issue internally and I will get back to you with a conclusion.

Hey so in my defense they are different websites and I didn't know until the problem after the win that it was one and the same casino group!!!

I didn't assume that there were more casinos from the group that awarded bonuses like this.... Had I known that beforehand, I would never have registered there after I had the same problem in another casino in the same group they have already mentioned but I was not aware that it is the same group and as I said in the specific bonus conditions there was nothing about the rule and as can be seen in the e-mail they send me this again even after something like this happened Offer on Friday where not clearly informed I think it's really a shame it's also about a bigger win and as I said I didn't realize that I wasn't aware that it's the same group and that the offers at the casino Group apparently gear and give is !! I am really disappointed !

And seriously, the incident was also erased from the head after the casino showed zero insight and the complaint brought nothing !! So why should I consciously make the same mistake??? That really doesn't make any sense!! As mentioned, I didn't realize that it was one and the same group!

Hello everyone. We discussed the issue and here's a conclusion: Since the crucial term isn't displayed in the email offer or in the specific bonus terms (especially if there were similar complaints about the partner casino), the player should get paid in full.

Dear Niklasplay24,

Please keep in mind that if an identical situation appears in the future (for the third time), our decision might be different. It is highly recommended that you read full bonus terms before you activate a bonus. We try to create a fair and safe environment for the players but it doesn't mean that the players can simply ignore the rules.

Hello thank you for the answer. I won't make a mistake like that three times, I'm sure! Since this incident, I now read all the bonus terms and conditions on the site completely before I use any bonus again! (only play with real money since the incident!) I hope that the casino will show insight and pay me the winnings! I also hope that in the future you will include something like this in the e-mail so that something like this doesn't happen to anyone again!

Greetings Nicholas

Moin Moin so I just think it's sad nothing has changed and the casino isn't even trying I got an email again today!!? Again with the weekend offer and again without mentioning the conditions in one sentence !! So despite the incident, they continue to send ME the offer which I am not allowed to use? Tell me I'm in the wrong movie? The casino won't pay out the winnings anyway, I have the feeling that Casino Guru can please help me to report myself to the supervisory authority ?!!

Kind regards Nicholas

Dear Horus Casino team,

I'm sorry to hear about your decision. I'm afraid the complaint will become unresolved in favor of the player. Even though the casino is well aware of the fact that this crucial bonus condition for the bonus offer should be present in the promotion email as well as in the specific bonus terms, it is continuously ignored. This makes the impression of a trap for casual players.


Dear Niklasplay24,

I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this one. Unfortunately, it seems that the casino made its decision. I will mark the complaint "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to reconsider, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Curacao Gaming Authority (certria@gaminglicences.com) and submit a complaint there. Even though there's no guarantee it will help you, it is worth a try. Let me know how they responded (peter.m@casino.guru). I wish I could be of more help.

Best regards,

Peter

Okay, thank you very much, I will lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority, I clearly feel cheated and not properly informed, and that apparently on purpose, no insight from the casino, it is a pity, but it shows how dubious the casino is!!! People watch out and don't lose your money prefer to gamble elsewhere than in the Hourscasino
