Dear roonie,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue and understand your frustration.

I carefully checked the Bonus Terms on the website, and this is what I found https://www.pokiemate239.com/en/terms-and-conditions:


Players are allowed to place single bets lower than 20% of the total value of the Active Bonus credited and should not exceed 8 EUR, 8 USD, 8 AUD, 8 CAD, 8 NZD, 80 SEK, 80 NOK (as applicable). Therefore, placing a bet of 8 EUR while there's an Active Bonus of 100 EUR in effect is considered acceptable practice. VIP players are allowed to place single bets lower than 30% of the total value of the Active Bonus credited and should not exceed 15 EUR, 15 USD, 15 AUD, 15 CAD, 15 NZD, 150 SEK, 150 NOK (as applicable). Please note that your VIP level is defined by the casino's own discretion."


We would like to see casinos implementing systems that would prevent players from placing higher than allowed bets, but, unfortunately, this is not 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.

Are you aware of placing single bets greater than the maximum allowed ones?

If you are aware of placing higher bets than the allowed ones, sadly, there is not much we 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.

However, please do not hesitate to contact me if you feel that you’ve been accused mistakenly. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Petronela

Hi Petronela,

Thankyou for your correspondence, I am not aware of placing bets higher than the max allowed and because all of my history in bets has been deleted by the casino i have no way of checking, I just feel that these online casinos are not doing the right thing.

Since we haven’t received any response from the casino regarding the issue, we are forced to close the complaint as ‘unresolved’.


The casino can reopen this complaint anytime.


I am sorry, Roonie, that we couldn't help you more.


Normally, we would recommend you contact the licensing authority, but Pokie Mate Casino operates without a license. 

In such a case, you can try to get at least your deposits back.

Please contact: https://mychargeback.com/ and explain the situation. I hope they can help you.
