The player from Germany had scored significant winnings at iWildCasino, increasing his balance to 2400€. However, the casino had limited him to withdraw only 5 times the bonus amount which was 750€, deleting the rest from his account and citing a clause from their terms. The player's account had been verified, and the bonus money had been converted into real money credit. We had contacted the casino about the player's additional winnings and asked for clarification. After our intervention, the casino had agreed to credit the player's winnings back to his account. The player confirmed that he had received the funds and the issue had been successfully resolved.

Hello,
I am having an issue with iWildCasino. After losing thousands of Euros over time, I managed to convert accumulated points into 150€ cash.
This 150€ then became subject to a 50x wager. Meaning, I had to bet 7500€ to turn this bonus money into real cash.
After two long days, I succeeded and had approximately 1400€ in my account, which was designated as real money. I continued to play the following day and turned that into 2400€.
Now, here lies the problem.
The maximum one can withdraw per day is 1200€ in 400€ increments. So, I requested three withdrawals of 400€. The next day, I received an email from iWildCasino stating that according to §1.4, one can only payout 5x the bonus, regardless of the actual winnings. Thus, I could only withdraw 750€ (150€x5).
The rest of the money was just erased from my account...!!! So, 1650€ of winnings were simply deleted from my account, even though it was previously designated as real money. Now, when I inquire, they keep referencing the aforementioned $1.4 from the bonus, which restricts payout to only x5. In my opinion, this is a clear scam!! 1. It was advertised as real money 2. They allowed me to continue playing 3. I had to put in a wager of 7500€... 4. The bonus period had ended.
Can someone please help me recoup this money?

Hello Nilsg1,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with iWild Casino DE . Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.
Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly? Was your balance converted from bonus balance to real money balance after you finished the wagering? Was the balance reduced to 750€ (as maximum you could withdraw from the bonus) after the wagering was finished? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?
Looking forward to your answer.
Regards,
Nick

Hello Nick,
yes, my account has been verified for a long time. Since August 17, 2023.
Exactly, the bonus money was converted into real money credit (see picture) at exactly 01:06:09 on 11/25/23.
I then increased this to €2400 as I said.
No, I had €2400 on it and wanted to pay it out. Only then did the email come that the money would be deleted from the account and I would only have the €750 left (see picture).
Thanks & LG,
Nils

Hello Nilsg1,
As long as the wagering was finished, it should either convert your balance to the maximum allowed limit or do not convert it to bonus money otherwise we believe the player has no way to know that his balance still has active bonus conditions. I will now forward your complaint to my colleague Michal (michal.k@casino.guru) who will be assisting you from now on.
Wish you best luck resolving it.
Regards,
Nick

Dear Nilsg1,
I'm Michal and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed this case and from the information and screenshots, it indeed looks like your winnings from the bonus were capped according to the max win rule and they were later shown in the "real " balance, not the bonus balance. I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.
We would like to invite iWildcasino to join the conversation.
Dear iWildcasino,
Could you kindly share some details explaining your perspective on why you believe the additional winnings of the player are still subject to the maximum win rule for bonuses, especially considering that the funds were previously capped and reflected in the real balance? Please forward the player's full game history and any other relevant evidence to me at michal.k@casino.guru
