The player from Germany had her bonus winnings cancelled due to irregular play. We ended up rejecting the complaint because it was not justified.
I used real money and received a bonus. I made a profit from this money and applied for 4000 euros for payment. The payment was refused because I had made an irregular game (300 carat roulette) but I also had real money. To date, I have not received any of my winnings.

Dear Helga,
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 https://www.lafiestacasino.com/general-terms-conditions/?lang=en :
"Betting Rules
16.1. The casino expects you to follow the rules of each game while playing at the casino.
16.2. If a player attempts to gain an unfair advantage over the casino by using gaming strategies such as ‘Martingale’ and it is reasonably evident, then the casino will take action including the confiscation of winnings and bonuses.
16.3. When a player receives a bonus, additional betting rules may be applied. These are defined in the Bonus and Promotion Terms and Conditions or are defined in the specific terms and conditions of that promotion.
16.4. A maximum bet of €5 applies when playing with bonus balance.
16.5. Placing total bets equal to or greater than 30% of the value of the deposit currently in play is prohibited.
16.6 Acquiring an in-game Buy Feature to trigger free spins for a buy-in cost equal to or over the 30% max bet limit is considered as irregular play."
Could you please forward any relevant communication petronela.k@casino.guru. Which exact rule has been breached? I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Petronela

In my eyes, this is bordering on fraud because what the agents say to the players is outrageous.
I hope to get my profit at least 2500 euros as a comparison.
I thank you in advance for your efforts
Sincerely
Thank you very much Helga for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter who will be at your assistance. I wish you best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.
Hi Helga,
I'm taking over your complaint. I will contact the casino and see if I can help.
Thank you for reaching out to us.
We see that the winnings were confiscated as the gameplay broke the bonus terms and conditions:
https://www.lafiestacasino.com/bonus-terms-and-conditions/?lang=en
On 1 July 2020, Helga started her gaming session with a deposit of 25 Euro and bonus of 100 Euro. At 5:39:13 PM (casino recorded time) she commenced her gameplay and placed bets on 300 Carat Roulette - a table games. Those bets are prohibited as the wagering is active on the account. At 5:49:37 PM (recorded time) she switched to a video slots.
In addition, significant bets over the limits ranging from 6 euro to 45 euro were made while playing with bonus funds.
These are the reason why the withdrawal was declined and winnings were confiscated. Evidence to support our claims can be provided.
This is a completely new reason for the casino la fiesta. No matter which page you go to
Casino LA FIESTA always has the same excuses and it is always the players. The main thing for the casino is not to have to pay out the winnings. For me it is fraudulent intentions. You lure with the offers and then the player is guilty, even though the casino disguises the games.

Thank you La Fiesta Casino for the reply. Helga, I looked at your game history you sent. Unfortunately, it confirms the casino's claims. You did play the 300 Carat Roulette and your bets were much larger than the maximum allowed bet while the bonus was active. I admit, it would be much easier for everybody if the casinos enforced this automatically and the player wouldn't have to be that careful with their bets. However, it's not an industry standard yet. I'm afraid, there is nothing I can do to help you with this one.
Best regards,
Peter
