The player from Germany had deposited €200 and met the wagering requirements, reaching a balance of €2,307. Despite completing the verification process, the casino revoked his winnings, citing non-recreational play patterns and alleged abuse of bonus terms. All games played were allowed according to the bonus terms. The issue was resolved when the casino later agreed to allow him to withdraw his winnings. The player confirmed the successful withdrawal, and the complaint was marked as resolved.

Hello,
I deposited 200€ on 04-08-2024 for the first Welcome Bonus (100% up to 200€)
https://www.mondcasino.com/de/promotions/welcome-offer
After I had fulfilled the wagering requirements, I reached a balance of €2307 and requested a withdrawal.
After that I verified myself successfully.
Today on August 7, 2024 I received the following email:
Hello there,
Please note that upon reviewing your recent gameplay, we have concluded that your gaming pattern does not fall into a category of true recreational players, therefore we must act in accordance with our Terms and Conditions.
Terms and conditions applied to your account:
15.1 Our bonuses and games are created with the purpose of entertainment. If deposits matched with a bonus or clean deposits are not used with the same purpose, the Casino will consider such actions as a breach of the Terms and Conditions. If the player uses such strategies, and if the Casino has reasonable grounds to believe that the player's actions are solely aimed at gaining unfair financial advantage (may also be considered fraudulent activities) using the bonus advantage or unfair advantage over casino with clean deposits, then we reserve the right to investigate, terminate, suspend or block any account at any time. Winnings and subsequent gaming activity and winnings will be revoked and cancelled and the deposit refunded in this case.
Your gaming pattern of changing slot games based on their volatility and RTP (in your case; after your big win on a high volatility slot, you changed for a low volatile slot with even higher RTP (99%), is absolutely sufficient reason for us to believe that your purpose was solely to gain financial advantage through the bonus advantage over the casino.
We have decided to revoke your bonus eligibility and withdraw your winnings generated with the help of our bonuses. We have left your initial deposits intact in your balance.
You will no longer be eligible to claim any corresponding bonuses from now on, but you can still continue playing with your clean deposits at our casino or our sister casino (under the same license).
Best regards,
Moon Casino Security
I think the casino's justification is inadequate. All the games I played were allowed to play according to the bonus terms and conditions.
I first played Bananaz 10K Ways with the bonus and was able to win around €1000. Then I played Fairytale Fortune and was able to win there too, and ended up with a total balance of €2300
After that, I played Fairy Dust Extreme and initially had a balance of around €3000. In the end, I was able to request a withdrawal of €2307 after I had met the wagering requirements.
All of these games were allowed to be played according to the bonus terms and conditions.
Fairy Dust Extreme also has medium volatility and not low as the casino claims.
If the casino does not want these games to be played, then it must be listed in the bonus terms and conditions in the list of blocked games!
This was not the case, which is why I decided to play this game.
Since I cannot understand the casino's decision to cancel my winnings, I ask you to help me.
I am fully verified and this is my first withdrawal at this casino.
Thank you,
Michael G***

Hello, Popy71,
I am sorry to hear about your unpleasant experience, and apologize for the delay. I will contact the casino and try my best to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Now I would like to invite the casino representative to join this conversation and participate in resolving this complaint.
Dear Mondcasino team,
Could you please explain the player's situation in more detail? Do I understand correctly that the reason for winnings confiscation was that the player basically played within the casino's bonus rules, met all the requirements, and successfully requested a withdrawal?
If the casino allows players to play games in question with an active bonus, why should such a play fall under the applied rule at all?
Or, is there please anything else the casino did not share with the player in the email communication or anything important that was overlooked?
Feel free to send the necessary details and supporting evidence to my email address (branislav.b@casino.guru).

Hi there,
We have sent email to player. He will be able to withdraw all his funds as an exception although his playing behaviour can be consider, without a doubt, as a bonus abusing one. Choice of slot games & bet sizing are common things such players do.

Dear Popy71,
Can you please confirm you were allowed to withdraw your disputed winnings, and the issue was resolved? Can you inform us as soon as you receive the winnings?
As for the list of casinos where you are restricted from bonuses (if Mondcasino restricted you from them and it applies to all their sister casinos), I think for now you can simply search for casinos belonging to Versus Odds B.V. It should be public information available on the internet.
However, to be sure, let's ask the casino about it.
Dear Mondcasino Team,
Thank you for your response and the update.
Can you please provide the user with a list of casinos where he is restricted from bonuses - all the Mondcasino's sister casinos where the restriction applies or any place where he can check current information about all casinos where it should apply? Is there any trustworthy source to which we can trust and which state up-to-date information about it?
I would not ask about it, but by giving the user complete and correct information, we can prevent further complaints regarding the same.

Do not hesitate to contact us in the future if you run into any issues with this or any other casino. We are here to help.
As you know, we do not charge for our services, nor do we accept any gratuities.

Your feedback could prove helpful to others who are considering contacting us about any online casino-related issues. Thank you in advance for your time.
