UNRESOLVED

Case summary

9 months ago

The player from Austria was unable to wager their bonus winnings. The casino claimed this was due to the player using bonuses too frequently. The player usually deposited 10€ every few months and believed the casino was trying to cheat them. After a thorough investigation, we found the casino's decision to be unfair, but they maintained their stance. As a result, the complaint was closed as Unresolved - Against fair gambling. We suggested the player contact eCOGRA and the Malta Gaming Authority for further assistance.

The casino is not allowing me to wager my bonus winnings without a valid reason, claiming I have used bonuses too frequently or something similar.


As I can demonstrate with the attachment.

I usually deposit 10 euros without a bonus, and do this every few months.

In my view, the casino is attempting to cheat me out of my money.

When was the last time you played with an active bonus? What type of bonus was it?

Could you please confirm if you passed the KYC verification?

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

Hello, I didn't receive any warning about my last deposit.

Otherwise I would certainly have deposited without a bonus.

I think the last time I played with an active deposit bonus was over half a year ago.

Maybe a while ago too.

Unfortunately, this is not visible on the netbet website.

I have a screenshot of my deposits and I can forward you the conversation with Netbet by email that I had this morning.

Greetings David F.

Because of KYC, I uploaded the documents again yesterday evening because the netbet site requires this every 6 months.

I also wanted to say that my winnings of 350 euros, which were then counted towards the bonus money, were earned from my real money.


I told netbet support that if they didn't allow me to gamble my winnings, they would have to transfer my deposit back to me.

Because I didn't gamble it away but it was counted towards the bonus.


I would be happy to send you my deposit list at the casino. Yesterday I deposited 20 euros for the first time with a bonus and when I reached 350 euros I was suddenly no longer allowed to gamble on the bonus.

Before that, I last deposited 10 euros in July 2023, as far as I know without a bonus back then.

Strangely enough, I was only told that I would be a bonus hamster when I was about to win a good amount.

I'm certainly not a bonus hoarder, I always like to deposit and play in reputable casinos.

Yesterday's bonus that I had selected from Netbet was sent to me via SMS even though I had set promos to off in the marketing settings for a long time.


If I had been interested in promoting this casino I wouldn't have turned it off, why they still send me promo SMS and suddenly don't let me gamble on these bonuses even though I first asked in the chat before I deposited is very obvious in my opinion.

This casino simply doesn't want to pay me the amount that I was ready to gamble.


I hope you can do something about it, it's not about the money for me.

But I would like to have my deposit back and for people to think more carefully about depositing into the casino.

thank you in advance

I don't think I'll ever see the money.

Hello Dude30,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case, and although I understand your dissatisfaction with the situation and I can agree with you that the casino team could have informed you much better on why you can't finish the wagering of the bonus you lastly claimed, I would like you to know that the casino has this rule mentioned in its terms and conditions:

14.4 NetBet behält sich das Recht vor, jeden Bonus, jede Sonderaktion oder jede Aktion jederzeit zu widerrufen.


I will still try to contact the casino to shed more light on this.

We would like to invite NetBet Casino AT to join the conversation.


Dear NetBet Casino AT,

Can you please provide information on why is the player not allowed to finish the wagering of the bonus they have previously received from you?

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.

As I said, I'm afraid the casino won't take a position on this.


You know exactly that it wasn't legal to simply withdraw my winnings.


I often play in different casinos, but at NetBet I deposited for the third time, and twice without a bonus, then withdrawing my winnings and calling myself a bonus hunter is simply fraud.

Dear Dude30,

I apologize for the slightly delayed response. I have contacted a representative from NetBet Casino, and they have shared some information regarding your player activity at Netbet. We recognize that bonuses and special offers are significant marketing features in most casinos, and many players actively seek the best bonuses. However, it's important to note that casinos can impose limits on the number of bonuses each player can receive. Could you please confirm how many bonuses you have claimed in NetBet Casino?

I've only used the Christmas stocking promo more often where you get a gift every day.

I'm sure enough others have done that too.


Otherwise I didn't claim any bonuses there.

Dear Dude30,

As mentioned earlier, the casino has the discretion to limit a player from receiving bonuses. However, I've endeavored to convey to the NetBet Casino representative our belief that once a player has been freely awarded a bonus and has not violated any rules, they should be allowed to complete the wagering process. Unfortunately, the casino team has maintained their decision, asserting that you took advantage of multiple bonuses, leading them to restrict further bonuses, including the one you began wagering. Regrettably, we find this decision unfair, and as we couldn't reach a consensus with the casino, we are compelled to close this complaint as Unresolved - Against fair gambling.

 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 the eCOGRA – an alternative dispute resolution service (Contact Us - eCogra) 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 (Lodge a Complaint - Malta Gaming Authority (mga.org.mt)). Please let me know if you need help with filling out the form or how the ADR responded if you can do this on your own (michal.k@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.


Best regards,

Michal
