UNRESOLVED

Case summary

3 months ago

The player from Japan had used the welcome bonus and met the wagering requirements. However, when he tried to withdraw funds, the casino had confiscated the entire amount, citing a violation of terms of use, which he denied. The player had insisted that he did not breach any maximum bet rule while completing the bonus wagering. Upon request, he had provided his game history and other relevant details. We had reached out to the casino multiple times for clarification but received no response. Despite our efforts, the issue had remained unresolved due to the casino's lack of cooperation. We had advised the player to contact the Curaçao Antillephone N.V. for further assistance. The complaint was reopened at the request of the casino. It was determined that the player's winnings were confiscated due to rules that we consider to be against our fair gambling policies. As the casino would not reconsider its decision, the complaint was eventually closed as unresolved.

I used the welcome bonus and tried to withdraw my funds once I met the wagering requirements, but they were entirely confiscated!


I was told I violated the terms of use, even though I didn't.

Dear hirokann0525,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I'm sorry to hear about the issue you encountered with the online casino.

To assist you further, could you please provide additional information regarding the welcome bonus you utilized?

  • Specifically, do you have any documentation or screenshots of the terms and conditions associated with the welcome bonus?
  • Additionally, can you clarify the actions you took once you met the wagering requirements?
  • Did you attempt to initiate a withdrawal immediately after meeting the requirements, or did you encounter any specific error messages or notifications when attempting to withdraw your funds?
  • Which games you’ve been playing (live casino games, slots, or sports betting)?

Furthermore, if you have any relevant communication or correspondence with the casino regarding this matter, we encourage you to forward it to petronela.k@casino.guru.

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

Hi hirokann0525,

I have checked the general bonus rules and this is what I found (here):


- A player making large bets (over 5 USD/EUR/NZD or equivalent in other currencies) to quickly increase the bonus balance and then sharply reducing the bet size without a visible reason and with a sufficient balance may be suspected of using a system that gives an advantage in the game and abusing the bonus. Each such case will be considered individually, and the casino administration may take the measures described below. The casino strongly disapproves of such gaming behavior.


You previously stated: "I kept betting bonus buys for $600-1000". Do I understand correctly that you placed greater bets than allowed while completing the bonus wagering?

Thank you.

Hi hirokann0525,

I understand that general bonus terms and conditions may have been updated since your last play. However, it's common in most online casinos to have restrictions on maximum bets while fulfilling bonus wagering requirements.

  • Have you knowingly placed bets exceeding the limits outlined in the rules?

Thank you.

Hi hirokann0525,

I have previously requested your complete game history twice, especially if you believe you did not violate the maximum bet rule. Please understand that a few screenshots may not capture all your bets made during the bonus wagering, and without the comprehensive game history, we are unable to provide assistance.

This is the final request to provide it. Otherwise, I will be compelled to reject your complaint.

Thank you for your assistance and understanding.

I have tried to contact the casino repeatedly but had no success. I’m afraid there is not much that can be achieved without cooperation from its side. I will mark the complaint as "unresolved" in our system. I understand this isn't a satisfactory solution to your issue. However, the decrease in the rating caused by unresolved complaints might help to change the casino's approach. If the casino decides to react, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. In the meantime, I recommend you contact the Curaçao Antillephone N.V. (complaints@gaminglicences.com) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know if you need help with submitting the complaint or how they responded if you can do it on your own (peter.c@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter

Greetings! 


The player made a deposit of 2000 EUR and received a 100% bonus of 2000 EUR from the project.


  • After receiving the bonus, the player started betting very large amounts (around 4000 EUR and 7800 EUR in Speed Baccarat), thereby rapidly increasing the balance in a low-volatility game.
  • After a large win, the player immediately lowered the bet to 600 EUR (more than 10 times less) and switched to play the bonus in the game Blood Suckers MegaWays.
  • As a result, the majority of the wagering was done in the game Blood Suckers MegaWays, but through the purchase of bonus games with an RTP of 97.68%.
  • Immediately after completing the bonus wagering, the player stopped placing bets.


According to our investigation, the gameplay strategy followed by the user is described in clause 30.1.7 and is considered by the project as high-risk and aimed solely at gaining an advantage and abusing the bonuses issued by the project.


Moreover, this user triggered the automatic protection system designed to prevent unfair bonus wagering twice. However, the project administration accommodated the player, and the funds were manually restored to the client twice.


Considering the facts provided above, a decision has been made to exclude the player's account from the project's promotional policy and to restore the full amount of their deposit.


Sincerely,

Ramenbet

No matter how many times I asked support, I was told that the amount could be freely adjusted.


Also, the old terms of use did not include the provisions listed in 30, 1, and 7.

Hello Ramenbet Casino,


The term in question is as follows:


"- A player making multiple different bets, each with minimal expected winnings, to achieve increased bet volume with minimal balance losses, will be suspected of bonus abuse and immediately excluded from current and future bonuses. One example of such a strategy may include betting on all numbers in roulette or simultaneously betting on red and black.

- A player making large bets (over 5 USD/EUR/NZD or equivalent in other currencies) to quickly increase the bonus balance and then sharply reducing the bet size without a visible reason and with a sufficient balance may be suspected of using a system that gives an advantage in the game and abusing the bonus. Each such case will be considered individually, and the casino administration may take the measures described below. The casino strongly disapproves of such gaming behavior.

- Combinations of the above-described gaming methods: any player using a strategy where they first make large bets in low contribution games and then switch to high contribution games and make smaller bets (smaller than the average bet in the previous low contribution game) will be instantly excluded from current and future bonuses and subjected to all measures described below."


We strongly disagree with these terms as a reason for confiscating winnings, and indeed we already apply a penalty to the casino's Safety Index for this. I have a couple of additional questions:

Has the player breached a maximum bet rule?

Is there a rule that states that the purchase of bonus games with an RTP of 97.68% is not allowed?


Kind regards,

Adam

Greetings, dear Adam!


There is no prohibition from the casino on purchasing the bonus feature within the game. Additionally, there are no restrictions on the maximum allowable bet when wagering a bonus.


We understand your position regarding the current rules and have been previously made aware of it. At the same time, as we have communicated, the project has the right to audit the user’s gaming session. Such behavior clearly indicates an abuse of the company’s bonus policy and an obvious strategy to gain an advantage when wagering the bonus.


We are fully confident that this case is not isolated from the player, and the gaming behavior was intentional.


Due to these facts, the winnings were deemed invalid in accordance with the existing rules, and the player was excluded from participating in further casino promotions. We also want to emphasize that the player's deposit amount was not affected.


Sincerely,  

Ramenbet.

Hello Ramenbet,


Thank you for your response.


While the gaming behavior may have been intentional, we think that players should be able to play in whatever way they wish, as long as they follow other bonus rules, such as maximum bet. Additionally, this rule is meant to deter bonus hunters, but it actually influences recreational players the most. These are the ones who are worried that they might lose their winnings, so they often decrease their bets after a win. True bonus hunters do not mind an increased variance. They focus mostly on their expected value, which is not affected by this betting pattern.


Instead of rules like these, casinos should focus on setting the wagering requirements, maximum bet, game contribution and other bonus rules in a way that makes it more difficult or even impossible for players to abuse their bonuses. These types of strategies are exactly the reason why limiting the maximum bet amount for bonus play has become standard in the industry (one of the ways to decrease profitability of a bonus is lowering the maximum allowed bet amount).


Consequently, I once more ask the casino to reconsider its decision to confiscate the player's winnings on this occasion. If the casino wishes to maintain its position, we will have no choice but to close the complaint as 'unresolved' in accordance with our policies on fair gambling.


Kind regards,

Adam

While the gaming behaviour may have been deliberate, we believe players should be able to play however they like as long as they follow other bonus rules such as the maximum bet.


As you know, I always check with a live support agent before making any changes to my behavior.


This time too, I checked it 3 or 4 times and was told there was no problem, so I played.

I play after making sure that going all-in on baccarat and then buying a slot machine bonus of $600 is okay (not a violation of the rules).



According to our investigations, the gameplay strategy followed by the User is described in clause 30.1.7 and is considered high risk by the Project and has the sole purpose of gaining an advantage and exploiting the bonuses issued by the Project.


Also, this rule did not even exist when the casino first opened!!


So I played without thinking I would have to save my interactions with online supporters!!

Because the rules didn't even exist! When I was playing

Even if it is our policy, it is because we are violating the rules.

Dear Casino Guru Team,


We appreciate your efforts in resolving this matter. However, the casino administration has made a final decision, which is not subject to review.


We would like to reiterate that despite several accommodations made for the player, our security department considers the player's gaming behavior to be highly malicious and aimed at abusing the project’s bonuses. We also have internal information that supports this intent.


Additionally, we want to emphasize that the deposit amount (i.e., the player’s actual funds) was not affected despite the bets made during the game. Therefore, the issue concerns only the winnings, which were annulled according to our rules.


As you know, we continuously work towards improving our existing rules. However, this does not imply resolving such cases in favor of the player when the bets are made with the intention of exploitation.


Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.


Sincerely,

Ramenbet
