The player from Germany experiences issues after claiming a 200% Welcome Bonus and attempting to withdraw 500 euros. The casino cancels the withdrawal, stating a maximum payout limit from bonus funds, resulting in a loss of 1850 euros.
I claimed the 200% Welcome Bonus and deposited 95 euros with a wagering requirement of 35x. I deposited on Saturday and met the requirements by Sunday morning. I then requested the maximum payout of 500 euros on Sunday morning. Later, I successfully placed a football bet and accepted a cashout of 369 euros. The verification was successfully done on Sunday and the documents related to the payment proof were sent via email.
On Sunday and Monday, I inquired about the payout via live chat. I was told several times that it was being processed. Since the processing wasn’t completed, I couldn't request another withdrawal, which is against their Terms and Conditions that say one withdrawal per day is allowed. If they always take 48 hours to process withdrawals, it’s impossible to withdraw 500 euros daily. By Tuesday morning at 6 AM, I had around 2300 euros in real money balance and a pending withdrawal of 500 euros. Later around 1:30 PM, I logged in and saw a balance of 950 euros, and the withdrawal was cancelled. In the live chat, I was told that an amount of around 1850 euros was canceled because only a maximum of 5x the bonus amount can be paid out from bonus funds. This is absolutely outrageous as I am experiencing this kind of situation for the first time at online casinos.
But why was the withdrawal then canceled? If I could only withdraw a maximum of 95 euros x 5, which is 950 euros, the initial withdrawal of 500 euros was legitimate and should have been processed, with the remaining 450 credited to my balance. But no, I had to request the withdrawal again and wait another 48 hours. This is a tactic by the casino, hoping I would lose the money. First, they cancelled my withdrawal, took 1850 euros, and obviously, the 369 euros from the bet are also gone. Now, something completely new to me has occurred. In my 13 years of sports betting, I have never experienced this. On Tuesday evening during UCL games, I placed a live bet of 25 euros. The total odds were 7.377, so a win of approximately 185 euros. About 5 minutes before the end of the game, cashout was not available even though results suggested success. After the game ended, to my surprise, when I checked the ticket, the total odds were around 5, and the winnings suddenly dropped to 126 euros. About 58 euros were missing. Suddenly one game showed as refunded even though I did not request any CASHOUT or similar. In live chat, I was told one game was refunded. I have never experienced anything like this; I didn’t receive any refund at all and ended up with 58 euros less. This is by far the worst casino I’ve ever played at. Such a Welcome Bonus is meaningless, and even if it wasn’t, they should have credited the 950 euros + 369 euros from sports. Cancelling the withdrawal itself is also a blatant act.

I already had 4000 euros on it after the turnover conditions had been met, and I had already requested a withdrawal of 500 on Sunday morning at 8 a.m. As soon as I deposited, I received a lot of winnings. I can say that I won a lot right from the start with my 95 euros. First of all, the bonus money is deducted. With my real money, I placed a successful football bet for a win of 369 euros.
If the terms and conditions do not allow more than 5x bonus money withdrawal, then mine on Sunday morning was legitimate. They should not have cancelled my withdrawal on Tuesday, 48 hours later. Everything was verified. They should have paid out the 500 and credited the remaining 450 euros + 369 from the football bet.
And yesterday they even changed my total odds on the sports bet just before I was able to win 58 euros less.
Dear Cata1992
According to your own conclusion, the casino should have credited to your account 950€ plus 369€ winnings from a real money bet.
Could you please clarify how much was credited back to your account instead?
So after I had completed the sales conditions, I requested a 500 payout. When 1850 euros were deducted from me and the requested payout was cancelled, I only had 950 euros left with the reason that I had won too much and the maximum payout was 5x bonus money. That was no reason to cancel the payout after 3 days. The 500 euro payout was legitimate. And yes, I had also won a football bet 369, which also disappeared due to the 1850 euros. In the end I had 950 euros, I sent you all the screenshots
Thank you very much, Cata1992, for providing the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Branislav (branislav.b@casino.guru) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.
Hello, Cata1992,
I am sorry to hear about your trouble. I will contact the casino and try my best to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Please note we do not have sufficient insight into sportsbook issues, and we currently do not deal with sports betting-related issues. Therefore, I would like to inform you about the following:
Now I would like to invite the casino representative to join this conversation and participate in resolving this complaint.
Dear Jettbet Casino team,
Could you please explain the player's situation in more detail? Can you provide us with the information on when exactly were the bonus wagering requirements met and the balance was converted to real money/withdrawable balance, and/or specify a reason for the confiscation of €369?
If the ticket was made from the balance after the bonus WRs were met, why would the casino confiscate winnings from these bets? Or, is there any other reason why winnings from the successful ticket were confiscated?
If it suits you better, feel free to send the necessary details and/or supporting evidence to my email address (branislav.b@casino.guru).
Even if the casino did everything correctly according to the terms and conditions, they are not allowed to refuse my withdrawal of 500 euros. They should have processed the withdrawal after 3 days and credited me with the rest up to 950, i.e. 450 euros. This is all independent of the 369 euros that were won on sports bets. With the sports bet I should normally have successfully received a legitimate withdrawal and been credited with 450+369. There is nothing more to say.
Dear all,
The relevant information has been relayed to Casino Guru.
Best regards,
JettBet Casino
Dear Cata1992,
According to the data, although it looks like you made sportsbook bets after the wagering requirements for the bonus were met, you made them before the balance was corrected to the maximum cashout limit for the bonus, which was done upon requesting a withdrawal. It means that you made sportsbook bets at the time your balance contained invalid winnings over the maximum cashout limit, and they were later completely voided. Therefore, I will need more details from the casino, and I will be likely forced to discuss the matter internally with the team. Once I know more, I will inform you.
However, I could see that after your withdrawal request of €500, the balance was finally reduced to the maximum cashout amount from the bonus - €950 (the withdrawal was cancelled but the amount included in those €950). From this amount, you requested a new withdrawal, which was deducted from your balance, and I could not find any point where it was denied/cancelled or credited back to your balance, which indicates it was likely successfully processed on the casino's side. Then, the remaining balance of €450 was used for further play, while I could see your balance was decreased to something around €133. Then the data ended.
Can you please inform me about the second withdrawal of €500? Did the casino process it and did you receive the payment of €500? Then - what other €450 are we talking about if you simply used most of this amount for further play? What happened with the €450 that was left on your account balance?
Dear JettBet Casino Team,
Thank you for your email and the details provided.
Can you please look at my last email regarding the matter and provide me with the requested?
Thank you.
