Nordicasino - Player’s winnings have been reduced.

The casino does not agree to pay the full amount but offers 500e. The reason they say that I am rikkonot something about their user-face condition. I haven’t played with bonus money or free spins. From there, an account manager called me and explained some of the betting issues. I didn’t quite understand what it was about. I lähettänänyt all the requested documents to them. The mobile version of the casino doesn't even get to the point where they could read it.

Dear Anton,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. I have checked general terms and conditions (no bonus terms), and this is what I found https://www.nordicasino.com/general-terms-conditions/?lang=en:

"If a player's accumulated deposit amount does not exceed €200, players will be entitled only up to X10 last deposit. This maximum payout will be enforced also in cases where the player made additional deposits which were deemed at the sole discretion of the Casino to have been made in order to exceed the €200 accumulated deposit amount."

Could this be a reason why your winnings have been capped/reduced?

I would like to emphasize, that according to our Fair Gambling Codex https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#win-limits, we consider this rule to be unfair and predatory when it’s applied to a real money game.

Please, could you confirm, that you have accumulated winnings without any active bonus and clarify how much was your last and lifetime accumulative deposits? Ideally, you could forward your "cashier" history to petronela.k@casino.guru. Looking forward to hearing from you. I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this unpleasant situation as soon as possible.

Best regards,

Petronela

Thank you very much, Anton, for forwarding your cashier’s history. It is clear that you have deposited more than €200. Have you received any explanation , other than over a phone, why your winnings have been reduced? Looking forward to hearing from you. 

Hey. I have not received any other answer.

Thank you very much, Anton, for providing all the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Martin who will be at your assistance. I wish you best of luck and hope to see your problem being resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.

Hello Anton!

From now on, I will take care of your complaint. I would like to invite Nordicasino to the discussion to resolve this case. Could you please clarify this situation to us?

Thanks for bringing this matter to our attention.

Here is what happened in here.

Anton made a deposit of 300EUR on 18 November 2020 - won with irregular play.

11/18/2020 12:56:32 AM (casino time) made a withdrawal of 1,000 Euro but was cancelled immediately and proceeded to play and lost.

11/18/2020 6:27:47 PM (casino time) Anton was given a Cash Back Bonus of 110 EUR as part of the VIP program and the player was informed of the details and conditions of the bonus by email.

11/19/2020 7:15:05 PM (casino time) Anton request a withdrawal of €1,999.00 from the winnings coming from the CashBack Bonus.

The gameplay involved was audited against the betting rules of the casino for Cash Back Bonus which states "10.4. When a player receives a bonus, a cashback or redeemed the Comp Points, a maximum bet limit applies. This bet limit shall not be equal or exceeding 30% of the value of the bonus or cashback or Comp Points currently in play. If multiple bonuses are in play, the limit will be calculated against the smallest bonus. This limit also includes acquiring or purchasing an in-game bonus feature."

Anton placed bets from 40 EUR to 200 EUR on games of Buffalo Rising MEGAWAYS, Great Rhino Megaways and Sweet Bonanza.

The casino does not need to approve the withdrawal due to the irregular play, and has the rights to void the winnings. However, Anton is a valued customer at the casino and thus his Account Manager had approved a withdrawal of 500 EUR as goodwill gesture.
