Dear Craig,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I fully understand how difficult the whole situation must be for you. I carefully checked the Bonus Terms on the website, and this is what I found https://www.houseofpokies.com/en/terms-and-conditions:

„Players are allowed to place single bets lower than 20% of the total value of the Active Bonus credited and should not exceed 8 EUR, 8 USD, 8 AUD, 8 CAD, 80 SEK, 80 NOK (as applicable). Therefore, placing a bet of 8 EUR while there's an Active Bonus of 100 EUR in effect is considered acceptable practice. VIP players are allowed to place single bets lower than 30% of the total value of the Active Bonus credited and should not exceed 15 EUR, 15 USD, 15 AUD, 15 CAD, 150 SEK, 150 NOK (as applicable). Please note that your VIP level is defined by the casino's own discretion."

Unfortunately, if the casino shares all the relevant information on its website, there is not much I can do for you in this matter. I understand that it would be easier for the players if the maximum bets were controlled and enforced by the casino during the bonus play, but, unfortunately, that is not a common practice yet. It is not unusual for casinos, to put restrictions on the bonus play (restricted games, game providers, maximum bet etc.)

Please, understand that breaching the terms led to confiscating the bonus winnings and it is an irreversible process.

Please let me know if there is any additional information that I have overlooked, but I’m afraid I will be forced to reject your complaint. Thank you in advance for your reply and understanding.

Best regards,

Petronela

Dear Craig,

Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do for you in this case. Please understand, as long as your bonus was active you were not permitted to bet more than the allowed maximum bet was. Sorry we were not able to help you with this case, but please, do not hesitate to contact us in the future, if you run into any issues with this or any other casino. We are here to help. Now I will reject your complaint. Thank you for your understanding.
