Good evening, on 12/08, I received a no deposit bonus of 30 euros from the casino. The terms and conditions provided by the casino were in general terms and didn't specify anywhere that this bonus had a withdrawal limit of 30 euros, which they gave me. The only constant clarification in the bonus money area was that a turnover of 1200 euros was required, which I achieved and my winnings totaled 588 euros. However, after requesting a withdrawal of this amount, my entire balance was lost except for the initial 30 euros. Following this, I communicated with their chat support, which gave inconsistent explanations about the terms of another bonus, and later admitted that there were no terms for the specific bonus, even though they should have had the bonus terms. I am attaching screenshots of the moment my winnings were cancelled and from the chat with the casino, which admits that there are no terms, apologizes, and claims that they can't do anything and that they sent the wrong terms. Also, the chat agent made up a revised term when I asked for a reference from their site for the term he himself formed, and then ignored me.

The forum does not allow me to upload any attached files here, so please contact me via email so that I can send you the evidence there. As a player who was misled by the casino, I demand either my winnings or a percentage of the winnings, 50%, as they admitted that there are no terms for the promotion that was applied to me.

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can understand the whole situation completely.

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve your problem as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Good evening I am attaching my entire conversation from start to finish with the casino as of course I have nothing to hide and I want to find a solution as I am a person who always reads the rules. It was a no deposit bonus worth 30 euros which appeared on my casino profile and activated it .Inside the terms button there were the general bonus terms of the casino so as is completely normal I activated it and started the turnover Until the turnover was completed and pressing the button to get the money .all the winnings were lost. they tried to fool me by sending me the wrong rules from the site while at the beginning as you will see they said themselves sorry there are no rules for this bonus then they falsified in writing themselves without referring me to an official paragraph on the site as in the original rule addressed to another bonus which actually related to depositing while I hadn't even done it and they apologized, a small paragraph from the original wrong rule that related to bonuses and when I asked them for the official paragraph that exists, the agent said that he made it at that time in writing chat gt talking about bonuses said This is illegal That's when I realized it was a scam and contacted you

In the initial screenshots there are also the lost profits.


I have emailed you all the evidence that clearly shows that the casino was at fault and that the agent because he lost it tried to logically cheat me in cooperation with his superior via chat for anything else you need I am at your disposal

Thank you, mpoumpou, for forwarding all the relevant communication. After reviewing the general bonus terms and conditions, I wasn't able to locate any specified maximum cashout. Although a live chat agent indicated that bonus rules can be provided upon request, this procedure doesn't seem ideal. Fundamental regulations like maximum bets, cashout limits, restricted games, and allowed countries should be readily accessible, just a click away from any promotional offer.

Can you kindly confirm whether this was your first redeemed free bonus from this particular casino?

Good evening yes this is the first free money bonus given by this casino. Previously there were two activations from public codes provided by the casino on social media for free spins on a specific slot, where the rules were posted on the offer. Cash bonus without deposit is the first time I have been given

Hello. All the rules are on our website, of course. In the rules of this offer you can withdraw at the end of the bonus bet amount of 30 euros maximum.

If our clerk had a hard time explaining, we apologize, but he said about the maximum withdrawal bonus.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

We look forward to seeing you again!

We would like to ask the 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, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Hi Casino Guru team,


We've conducted a thorough investigation and can confirm that the player had access to the link containing the promotion rules within their profile, specifically under the "Participate" button. I've provided screenshots of the promotion menu for your reference.

file

The confusion and the unfortunate handling by our support operators stemmed from our introduction of a new promotion format. Recognizing our shortcomings in this instance, we've taken several corrective actions:


  1. We've conducted training for our support operators to ensure they are well-versed in the new promotion format.
  2. We are in the process of reviewing our internal procedures to improve communication between our promotions design team and the customer support team.
  3. We are implementing measures to make the promotion rules clearer and more easily accessible for our players.


We sincerely apologize for the miscommunication and inconvenience we caused. As a gesture of goodwill, we have offered the player a bonus of 50 EUR as compensation for the oversight.


We appreciate your assistance and value your feedback.


Best regards,

Alexander

LeonGaming Compliance Officer

Is the bonus you gave me in my email valid that its withdrawal limit is 150 euros as stated? file

Isn't it a shame since it was an unfortunate event that I should not be compensated with a part of the profits? Eg 50%?

Dear mpoumpou, as the casino representative has specified, you had access to the link containing the promotion rules within your profile. It is unfortunate how it was handled by the support operator but the rules still apply nonetheless. We also believe that the gesture of goodwill from the casino is a fair resolution to the situation, as the original bonus you received was non-deposit, therefore you haven't lost any real funds. Let me know if you can withdraw the max win of €30 and I will change the disputed amount.

Thank you for your understanding!

As my complaint started and after research you did there was no rule and the link referred to different terms. The casino admitted that due to a technical translation issue, the rules did not exist in Greek, which is my language. Yes, I had taken the 30 euros. When you say that you can change it, what do you mean?

Dear mpoumpou,

I'm glad to hear that you were able to withdraw your bonus winnings. I will now mark the complaint as 'resolved' in our system and change the disputed amount to 30€.

Thank you for your cooperation, and please do not hesitate to contact our Complaint Resolution Center if you run into any issues with this or any other casino in the future. We are here to help.

Best regards,

Peter
