Hello,
via your link on the 28.9. 200 euros paid. There was 400 euros as a bonus.
I hit high in real money and didn't need any bonus money during the entire 14,000 euro wager.
Both in the bonus terms and conditions as well as from the live support I was informed that Max Bet is 4 euros / 50 cents per line or 15% of the bonus amount.
On 9/29 I have completed the wager and requested a payout of EUR 3103. Since I wanted to continue playing, I canceled it and asked for a payout of 2500 euros.
With the remaining 616.84 I then played higher stakes while the payout was being checked.
Today I received a rejection because I should have violated the Max Bet rule. According to the game log, that was AFTER the withdrawal request, i.e. after the finished wager, where I then played Legacy of Dead for 6 euros.
I feel cheated out of 2500 euros

Dear Knubbellttv,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m very sorry to hear about your negative experience. I have checked promotional terms, and this is what I found:
"When a bet abuses the betting system – regardless of which game it was placed on – it will not count towards a player’s wagering requirements. If the player placed single bets equal to or greater than €4 or €0.50 per line or 15 percent of the bonus amount before the wagering requirements for the bonus have been met, we reserve the right to withhold any amount in excess of the player’s original deposit from a player’s withdrawal."
This means, that even bets equal to €4 and 15% of the bonus amount counts as breaching the maximum allowed bet.
Mathias, do I understand correctly that you redeemed the special offer 200% up to €450 + 100 free spins? Please could you forward your whole game history from the bonus play together with any relevant communication between you and the casino? My email address is kristina.s@casino.guru. Thank you in advance for your reply.
Best regards,
Kristína

Additional information from Knubbellttv:
" Hello,
I played with the 200% bonus in the Play Club and wagered the 14,400 euros. Then I requested a withdrawal of EUR 3103. I canceled this after my work and only had 2500 euros paid out. I left 600.84 to play on the account. Then I redeemed my loyalty points and received 16 euros in bonus money. With this money I violated the bonus conditions (while the other payout was already submitted but not approved). Two days later, the casino canceled the withdrawal and collected all winnings. I was only credited with the EUR 200 deposit. But I would like to have my profit of 2500 euros, which I have demonstrably won with a successful wager and a maximum of 4 euros stakes!
Despite calling support, the finance department did not contact us for clarification. I have now received another email that my complaint has been rejected.

Knubbellttv, we went through all the game history and your notes and we found a lot of bets in the amount of €4. Unfortunately, the maximum bet must be less then €4, as I mentioned in my previous message. The important words in the rule are here:
"...single bets equal to or greater than €4 or €0.50 per line or 15 percent of the bonus amount..."
(Which basically means, that bets of €4 and higher are not allowed.)
We would like to see casinos implementing systems that would prevent players from placing higher than allowed bets, but, unfortunately, this is not a standard practice yet. You were not stopped or blocked when you decided to increase your bet, and, as a result, you breached the maximum bet rule.
Sadly, there is not much I can do to support your case at this time. I would strongly recommend reading all the T&Cs carefully before you start playing to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. Casinos try to design their bonuses to be as attractive as possible, but the rules must always be followed. Please do not hesitate to contact me if there is anything else, I could do for you in this matter. Thank you for your understanding.

The live chat has confirmed several times that 4 euros is okay. Even on the phone, and the casino must have a record of this, the support told me that I only violated the bonus when I wagered OVER 4 euros. Claims were made for stakes from 6 euros.

I can not do that. The casino's chat does not appear to be recorded. At least I didn't get a log, as is common in other casinos.
Of course, I did not record the phone calls with the support on the number (040 ...). The casino should do that, right? My contact person was MilanP last Friday.
I also think it's unfair that I don't get any details from the casino. The time stamps show exactly when I played with the bonus and which winnings are therefore invalid. And finally, a lack of goodwill.

Please understand, that it is very difficult for us to proceed with this case without supporting evidence. Unfortunately, because you breached the maximum allowed bet mentioned in the Bonus T&Cs, and have no proof that the casino allowed this, we have no other choice than to reject this complaint. We would like to help you, but it’s impossible for us at this time.
Sorry we were not able to help you with this one, but please, do not hesitate to contact us in the future, if you run into any issues with this or any other casino and we will try our best to help.
