Against fair gambling

UNRESOLVED

Case summary

6 months ago

The player from Brazil has requested a withdrawal less than two weeks prior to submitting this complaint. The payment hasn’t been processed yet. The casino informed the player that they were in breach of the bonus maximum bet rule and confiscated the player's winnings. According to the evidence supplied by the player, we could see that there were only 5 bets made that were in breach of the rule, and that they provided no unfair advantage to the player. As it seems it could have been a genuine misunderstanding, we asked the casino to reconsider their decision, but they stated the decision was final. Consequently, the complaint was closed as 'unresolved'.

Dear buiaramos5287,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. We are sorry to hear about the issue with your withdrawal and understand your concern. However, please bear in mind that it’s quite usual for withdrawals to take a couple of days or even weeks to get fully processed. This means that it may take some time before your money appears in your account. This delay may be caused by unfinished KYC verification or a high volume of withdrawal requests.
That’s why we advise players to be patient, cooperate fully with casino, and wait at least 14 days after requesting their withdrawals before submitting a complaint.

If your account has been successfully verified, your game history checked, your withdrawal approved by the casino, and you still haven't received your winnings by 14 days since requesting the withdrawal, we will intervene and do our best to help you.
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
Complaints Resolution Center

I see that the casino accused you of breaching the maximum allowed bet while the bonus was still active. Our position is closely explained in Fair Gambling Codex https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#max-bets: The max bet rule is, in fact, an industry standard, just as the fact that a casino has the right to seize the player's winnings from bonus play after breaking this rule. We prefer not to go against industry standards by penalizing casinos that use the maximum bet rule against players from time to time.

However, if you feel like you have been accused mistakenly, feel free to forward me your game history starting from the moment you activated the bonus. My email address is kristina.s@casino.guru.

For you to see how they are acting in bad faith they excluded I can't see my history! And another thing, I didn't bet any higher amount, you already see that they are wrong that came with the excuse that they forgave me 516 reais if I had bet a higher amount on the bonus they wouldn't have given me anything else by the way I've seen that you guys won't either nothing because a scammer casino like them has a good reputation with you? If it's really going to help, get in touch with them and ask for the game history so you can see that I'm telling the truth

Hello buiaramos5287,


I have made contact with the casino and they are unable to provide us with further information directly. I would therefore like to ask you to contact casino support and ask them to provide you with the relevant game logs showing the wagering of the bonus.


Once received, I would then ask you to forward this to my e-mail for review (adam.m@casino.guru).

Hello buiaramos5287,


I thank you for your e-mail of the screenshots but please be advised we will need to review the entire history, every bet made using the bonus, and when the wagering was completed. It seems that the screenshots provided do not show all of the bets made.


As the casino will not provide this information to us directly, we need this information to see which bets are apparently being contested and if the casino is acting fairly.


Kind regards,

Dear buiaramos5287,


I have once more spoken to the casino, and they have informed me that the bonus you received consisted of 85 Free Spins. Your winnings from this bonus were 41.09 BRL which then needed to be wagered. During this wagering, the maximum bet would be 10% of this amount (4.1) and this, therefore, is the rule that has been broken.


The casino also stated that they have sent you the session IDs and shown where you can see the offending bets in your account.


Can you please clarify if this information is correct?


Kind regards,

Adam

Every time they come up with a different excuse I didn't break any rules if I had broken the rule they wouldn't let me play do you agree with me? If you bet a value that couldn't be bet they took it away the other day but they kept letting me play there when I win a value considered high they come every hour with a story!!!! Mr Adam, please charge them to give me at least a significant amount, not just what they gave me, at least 5 thousand reais and we close this matter or I'm going to go to court because I'm keeping everything they say that each time is a sorry

Dear all,


Having now received clarification from both parties, I can now share a conclusion on this situation.


The player has played using a bonus of 85 Free Spins. The winnings from this bonus were 41.09 BRL which then needed to be wagered.


I have checked the terms and conditions and found the following:


When placing bets to wager any deposit bonus/offer (free or deposit) or bonus credited towards free spins prizes, the maximum bet allowed is 10% (minimum 0.10) of the original/credited bonus amount or 5 ( e.g. 5 EUR, 5 GBP, 500 INR; lower amount applies). Failure to comply with this rule is a breach of the deposit bonus/offer terms and we reserve the right to void and remove any prizes. A bet includes any special wager feature, any wager function or any other type of wager activity (regardless of its nomenclature).


The casino has stated that the player has breached this rule by making bets of 5 BRL on what seems to be a total of 5 occasions.


In this case, the maximum bet would be 4.1 (10% of 41.09, as this was the initial amount of bonus credited to the player to be wagered).


Our views regarding maximum bet rules are made clear in our Fair Gambling Codex (https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#max-bets):


we think that this rule should be enforced at software level, i.e., that the casino's software or website shouldn't let players place higher bets than the limit. This is one of our requirements for 'fair and safe casinos'.
If software enforcement is not possible, each case should be judged separately, so that only players who have broken the rule knowingly and systematically to gain an advantage are punished.
Additionally, the max bet sizes should be clearly displayed, ideally in the casino lobby or directly in the games (if possible) or on a prominent part of the page or advertisement informing them about the bonus, and not just "hidden" in the rules for bonus play. It is a common practice to only list the max bet in Bonus T&Cs, but we appreciate when casinos make them more visible and easier to follow.


Therefore, I would like to ask the casino to reconsider its position in this case, as there were not many instances of the rule being breached, and none of the bets made seem to have resulted in a win. It is easy to understand the player's mistake, and may not be fair to confiscate the entirety of their winnings in this situation.


Kind regards,

Adam

Dear buiaramos5287,


In accordance with our fair gambling codex, we think that cases such as this should be assessed individually. It seems that only a few bets were made that broke the rule, so it is entirely possible that this was a genuine misunderstanding on your part, and there was no unfair advantage gained from this. Therefore, it may not be entirely fair to confiscate the entire balance from you in this case.


The casino has stated that it wishes to maintain its position regarding this matter, and so the complaint will be closed as 'unresolved'. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might 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 contact eCOGRA – an alternative dispute resolution service (https://ecogra.org/contact-us/), and submit a complaint to them. It collaborates with the Malta Gaming Authority and has better options and tools to help players. The next step would be contacting the Malta Gaming Authority itself (https://www.mga.org.mt/player-hub/lodge-a-complaint/). Please let me know how the ADR responded (adam.m@casino.guru).


I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best regards,

Adam
