Hello, used the $120 Free Welcome Bonus and wagered it completely, after that I had $100 normal balance. When I tried to get a withdrawal, I see that BTC can withdraw from $100. However, Kats Casino suddenly charges a $30 withdrawal fee though at https://katscasino.com/banking
the following is written:
Bitcoin
State Restrictions: None
Min: $100 Max: 1,500 No Fee!
Withdrawals are FAST, FREE and EASY using Bitcoin! With Bitcoin, there is no FEE!
Payouts take 1 to 3 business days to be processed and approved. Sending can take 4 - 7 business days to reach your wallet after approval.
Due to the $30 fee, I get the error message that my amount is too low.
When I then wrote to support, they told me that the bonus does not apply to German customers and German customers will not be paid out. I made extra screenshots of the entire chat process, see attachment.
I checked everywhere myself to see if there was anything about it but couldn't find anything.
Even the support could not tell me where the mentioned rule is that German customers are not paid out.
Therefore, the casino simply does not want to pay out the winnings.

Dear neiliyoo,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. I have checked terms and conditions, and this is what I found (here):
"The management reserves the right to disqualify certain countries or individual players from promotional offers."
However, I would like to emphasize that in case the restricted countries are not mentioned in the terms and conditions or are hidden somewhere, the casino should pay the player. Our position is closely explained in Fair Gambling Codex."
Please, could you advise how did you learn about the bonus? Was it available on the website for all the players to see, or inside your account?
We will contact the casino right after your confirmation. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Petronela

The bonus is visible to all players right on the home page. I had found the bonus via Casino Guru at Boni's. See image.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attach all screenshots, feel free to attach more. After I asked support, my account was immediately blocked for no reason.
I was told by support that the bonus is only withdrawable for customers from the USA and Canada. The information was not communicated anywhere on their website -> see picture.
Here is another picture of the fact that my account was simply blocked minutes after the support ticket.
I have also read through their terms several times since I was told that this is explicitly stated there, but this is not the case.

Same game with incorrect information is also here :
There it is clearly communicated that BTC is free of charge. For BTC, however, a fee of $30 is charged when withdrawing.

Hello neiliyoo.
I am sorry, but it looks like the casino is non-responsive. In a situation like this, I recommend contacting the licensing authority. Unfortunately, this casino works without a license. All we can do is close this complaint as unresolved - the complaint will be published negatively impacting the casino's rating.
I am sorry that we were unable to help you more.
