Hello dear CasinoGuru team,


On 07.10.2024, I registered as a new customer at LuckyWins! Casino and made a deposit of €30.33 via DOGE. Upon making the deposit, I received a 100% bonus and free spins as a welcome gift.


Immediately after depositing, I played the slot "Sweet Bonanza 1000" and with a balance of €35.61 in real money and €30.33 in bonus funds, I won €298.31 (Bet ID: 71149043493027).

To meet the required 3x wagering requirements necessary for withdrawal, I continued playing and ended with a total account balance of €356.24.


According to the general bonus terms, bonuses are non-binding (non-sticky) and real money is separate from bonus money. As mentioned above, the win was achieved with real money, yet it showed the entire balance of €356.24 as a bonus.


I immediately contacted support, and they confirmed to me that I am correct and the system mistakenly locked the entire amount as a bonus.

A manager was supposed to fix the issue, and they promised to contact me via email.


Unfortunately, nothing has happened since, and today, because the bonus expired, I only have the deposit amount of €30.33 left on my account.

Specifically, I am missing €295.58 in real money (€356.24 - €30.33 bonus = €325.91 --> €325.91 - €30.33 current balance = €295.58).


I kindly ask for your support in this matter. I have uploaded all necessary evidence; if anything is missing, I will, of course, provide it immediately.

Thank you very much in advance for your efforts!

Hello,


First of all, thank you very much for the quick processing!


The last contact with the casino regarding this issue was on October 7, 2024.

I did not receive any further explanation on this matter. I was only told that the normal support cannot help with this matter and that a manager has to deal with it. Unfortunately, the promised response did not come, and I have no way of contacting a manager directly.


If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for your patience.

Please understand that even if the funds are separate the wagering of the bonus wasn't completed. Therefore according to the terms and conditions you are entitled to your deposits, but any winnings are forfeited.

While not entirely customer friendly we earlier determined we don't deem the practice and accompanying bonus terms unfair.

Please let me know if there is any information I might have overlooked, otherwise, I'll close the complaint

Hello Tomas,


Thank you for your feedback, unfortunately you misunderstood something.


I did not make multiple deposits, just a single one. A 100% welcome bonus was credited to this deposit.

The welcome bonus is non -sticky and separate from the real money . The real money is always wagered before the bonus money , which is why I have never used this bonus.


As I wrote, my bet was made with real money and not with bonus money . The winnings are not a win linked to the bonus money, but real money .


A casino employee even confirmed to me in writing (I have uploaded the chat transcript for you) that I was absolutely right and that there was a system error.

The system has mistakenly recorded the deposit (30.33 € Dogecoin + 100% welcome bonus) not separated into €30.33 real money and €30.33 bonus money , but simply everything counted as a bonus .


It would therefore be very nice if you could contact a representative of the casino to clarify this problem.


Thank you in advance for your effort!

Dear eigene-willkommen.0j,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over this complaint. I have reviewed this case, and I must express my sympathy for your situation. I understand your perspective regarding the use of real money in your gameplay, which led you to believe that the remaining bonus wagering requirements were no longer applicable, especially since the winnings were (most likely by mistake) reflected in your real money balance. While I acknowledge that the bonus terms may not have been entirely clear in this context, it is a common practice in the industry that once a bonus is claimed, any associated wagering conditions must be met, regardless of whether the gameplay involves real money or bonus funds while the bonus is active.

The casino has this mentioned in its Bonus T&Cs

Furthermore, the livechat operator mentioned this:

So although I can agree with you that from a user experience point of view, the situation is not ideal; however, since you have not fulfilled the bonus wagering requirement to withdraw your winnings, your balance was adjusted to your real money deposit only. I hope this explains the situation to you. If you prefer to enjoy games with minimal restrictions, I suggest not claiming bonuses in the future. Had you chosen not to claim the bonus, your winnings would have been processed after the standard 3x deposit wagering requirement without any issues.

Please let me know if I have missed anything, if you require any further clarification, or if I can consider the situation sufficiently explained.
