Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

5 months ago

The player from Finland experienced an issue with Fun Casino when, after using a deposit bonus of 200 free spins for the Super Joker game, the stake increased automatically from €0.05 to €5, causing a loss of €15. The player received an unsatisfactory response from customer service. We concluded that the player was responsible for managing their active balance and bets. Since no casino rules were breached, we were unable to argue in the player's favor or seek compensation. The complaint was therefore rejected.

The Fun Casino offered a deposit bonus of 200 free spins for the Super Joker game. The stake for the free spins was €0.05. When the free spins ended, the game's stake automatically increased to €5 and the turbo spins continued. Before I could react, this €15 had already been spent. The sum is small, but the operation is really unfair. I contacted customer service about this and received a unkind response that I should be more careful next time. So, it's the customer's fault for not being prepared for the game to change the stake size and continue with turbo spins on its own.

Dear Carol0007,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Lysti Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

  • Was there any balance remaining on your account after the incident?
  • Is there any record of your last bets you might share with us?
  • Could you please share your communication with the casino? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

I apologize for not replying sooner.

We discussed the situation, but I am sorry but we won't be able to help in this situation.

First, we believe the player is the one ultimately responsible for their active balance, player's account, and all bets taking place.

Additionally, the fact remains that each bet you placed could have accrued a win. Lastly, by changing a bet to a higher amount you weren't trapped into breaching any casino rules, such as a maximum bet rule, which is usually associated with an active bonus.

Taking these points into consideration we won't be able to argue in your favor and ask for compensation on your behalf.

Please let me know if there are any circumstances I overlooked, otherwise I'll close your complaint.
