Dear Mandy,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem.


I would like to emphasize, that according to our Fair Gambling Codex https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#win-limits, we consider imposed win limit to be unfair and predator, only when it’s applied to a real money game, however, we accept bonus T&Cs that restrict the maximum cash out from a bonus play.

Do I understand correctly that your winnings have been accumulated from a free bonus entirely? Could you please advise if the entire amount was cancelled or reduced only?

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

Best regards,

Petronela

Hi,

Yes, bonus accruals


Rejected the withdrawal claiming they didn't have enough winnings (email from pokerstars attached)


Again, I spoke to several agents who assured me that the money raised with the bonus was real and could be withdrawn.


For that reason, they asked me for documentation so that I could withdraw the winnings.


With the 10 € bonus I got the amount of +/-683 € (68 times more than the bonus)

Thank you, Mandy, for your replies. I have checked the bonus terms and conditions, and this is what I found (here):


"To convert your €10 bonus and the winnings you earn from it into cash you can withdraw, you must earn 50 exchange points (5 for every €1 of the bonus) before the bonus period expires. Contributions vary by game.


Only slot games contribute to the wagering requirement."


Could you please confirm that you have earned 50 exchanged points? Please forward any supporting evidence to petronela.k@casino.guru? Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Petronell,


Yes, when I started playing the bonus, a progress bar appeared that went up to 50 points, as you say. As soon as I got the 50 points (I was watching the progress of this one, from time to time), that bar was no longer visible, I can't find it anywhere anymore.

Hi Nick,


Nick says "Please note that if we don't get a response within the next 7 days, the complaint will be closed as unresolved, which could affect the casino's rating."


Does this solve my case? No!


It seems to me that you use customer complaints, not to help them, but to evaluate casinos.


They could say it right from the start and I wouldn't waste my time.
