The player from Germany is dissatisfied that his casino capped his winnings to 15x of his last deposit. We ended up closing the complaint as ‘unresolved’ because the casino failed to reply.
€ 8,000 profit was reduced to € 1,500 after I requested my first payout. The reason is that I only made one deposit with 100 euros and won with it
Dear kalbon,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. I have checked the T&Cs, and I found the rule which the casino uses against players:
„63.4 A player with 1 deposit only will be eligible to cashout a maximum of 15x the initial deposit amount. All further winnings will be removed from the account upon withdrawal request."
I would like to emphasize, that according to our Fair Gambling Codex, we consider this rule to be unfair and predatory, only when it’s applied to a real money game, however, we accept bonus T&Cs that restrict the maximum cash out from a bonus play. Please, could you clarify, whether you accumulated winnings with or without an active bonus?
Additionally, is there any other communication between you and the casino that hasn’t been included in the attachments? If yes, please forward it to kristina.s@casino.guru (or you can post it here).
Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Kristina
Hi.
It was a real money game. I won it mainly at Evolution live casino playing Crazy Time and Lightning Baccarat.
I have emailed you all the chat history with Lapilanders.
First the verification took forever, then my first payout was rejected because I wanted to pay out 5x1000 euros and then after the next payout request the profit was reduced to 1500 euros. So 6500 euros were stolen from me just because I didn't deposit 2x 50 euros but 1x 100 euros. Sorry but that doesn't work at all
Thank you very much kalbon for your reply. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter (peter.m@casino.guru) who will be at your assistance. I wish you the best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction soon.
Hi kalbon,
I have looked at your case and understand the situation. I will contact the casino and see if I can help. I would like to invite Lapilanders Casino to the conversation to participate in the resolution of this complaint.
We would like to ask Lapilanders Casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, the complaint will become ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.
Dear kalbon,
I tried to get in touch with the casino repeatedly but without success. I’m afraid, there is not much that can be done without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in rating caused by unresolved complaints could help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you to contact the MADRE ADR, an MGA approved Alternative Dispute Resolution service provider, by completing their online form available at this website http://www.madre-online.eu/ and if necessary also the Malta Gaming Authority itself (https://www.mga.org.mt/support/online-gaming-support/). It's a good licensing authority and has better options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with filling out the form or how the MADRE and the MGA responded if you can manage to do this on your own (peter.m@casino.guru). I wish I could be of more help.
Best regards,
Peter
