Case summary

7 months ago

The player from Spain had deposited 500 euros and bet 200 of it. However, when he had attempted to withdraw the remaining 300 euros, the casino had required him to bet his entire deposit amount. The player's account had not been verified, and he had claimed and then canceled a bonus. The player had been confused about the betting requirements and whether they applied to his total deposit or his winnings. We had clarified that the sum of his bets must have equaled his deposited amount and that wagering was only required when making a new deposit. However, the player had not responded to further communication, leading us to reject the complaint due to lack of information.

My issue is that I have deposited 500 euros- I first deposited 100, then 200, and another 200 after that- and out of all that, I bet 200. Now, I want to withdraw the remaining money. The problem is, it's asking me to bet all of my deposit x1, as if I hadn't already bet money and now they want me to bet everything. I've tried starting chats on the platform to see if they can clarify things for me but to no avail. Could someone help me? I'd like to be able to withdraw the 300 euros I have left.

Hello jesdr2,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint and I'm really sorry to hear about your issue with Powbet Casino. Please allow me to ask you a few more question before we would move forward.

Could you please advise if your account is already verified and if yes, since when exactly? Did you claim any bonuses? When was the last time you spoke to the casino and what was it about?

Please note that the wagering of the deposit is common in every single online casino and serves to prevent anti-money laundering so the player has to wager all of his deposit at least once.

Looking forward to your answer.

Regards,

Nick

My account is not yet verified but because the page itself tells me that I do not need to verify it yet. There was a bonus that I did claim but I canceled it. The last time I spoke to the casino was the day before yesterday to ask about the withdrawal issue. The thing is that anyway, as for betting my entire deposit, I don't understand what exactly you mean. Do I have to bet everything on one bet? Or can I bet everything on various bets?

And if I still try to bet my entire deposit on a single bet that is very safe and that I am convinced of winning, they won't let me bet it all either, they reduce it by like 100 euros or so, then I don't understand how they want me to bet my entire deposit. If, for example, I ended up doubling the money I have in the deposit with bets, to later withdraw it would I have to bet my entire deposit, with the new benefits? Or just the initial deposit amount you had? Because it would not make sense that after having won money they forced me to also bet it in order to withdraw it.

Hello jesdr2,

You do not have to bet the entire deposit in one but but the sum of bets must be equal to the deposited amount. For example if you deposit 100€ you can make 20 bets for 5€ and so on as the point of it is to wager the full amount 1x.

Perfect. One last doubt. If, for example, I ended up doubling the money I have in the deposit with bets, or I had simply made profits, to later withdraw it, would I have to bet my entire deposit, with the new profits? Or just the initial deposit amount you had? I understand that once I have bet the initial deposit amount, if I make profits I could withdraw them, right? Because it would not make sense that after having won money they forced me to also bet it in order to withdraw it.

Hello jesdr2,

The wagering is required when making a new deposit so if you just keep accumulating winnings from the previous deposits and they have been wager, you should be able to withdraw. As we deal with only casino related complaints, we are not entirely sure how the wagering works while playing sports betting.

Is there anything else we could assist you with?
