Unjustified complaint

REJECTED

Case summary

2 weeks ago

The player from Germany had won around 5000€ after using a free spins bonus but faced issues with withdrawal as the casino claimed that the maximum win of 100€ applied in his situation. The player disputed this decision. The Complaints Team reviewed the case and communicated with the casino, which explained the application of its bonus terms and the mixing of funds due to the player's subsequent deposit and bonus usage. After considering all information, the Complaints Team concluded that the casino's actions were justified under its bonus terms, leading to the rejection of the player's complaint.

I started with a free spins bonus for registering at the casino, and then I won a few hundred euros. I completed the KYC verification and deposited 20 € (because without a deposit, you can't make a withdrawal) and afterwards I won about 5000 € - requested withdrawals, and now after several days, they're saying the max win is 100 €, obviously from the free spins. The winnings were achieved long after the wagering requirements and partly with my own deposited money.

Dear Knaebel,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Richard Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

  • Could you please advise when have you completed the wagering of the bonus?
  • Could you please explain what your balance was immediately after you completed the wagering of the bonus and why you decided to deposit more funds?
  • Could you please share your communication with the casino justifying its decision to apply the win limit? Send emails or chat transcripts to my email at tomas@casino.guru, or post screenshots here

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

Best regards,

Tomas

I start with Registering around 21 Okt 2024, 15:58 - be curse i got an Signup 55FS Bonus code in a Newsletter from Wettformat.com - I got the 55FS and win 9,91€ from them with a play try of 381,40€


21 Okt 2024, 18:19 i Disposit 20 Euro and got a Bonus of 100% and 25FS

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

On the screenshot, the deposit bonus you received doesn't appear wagered through.

  • Do I understand correctly you requested a withdrawal of winnings (650€) before the wagering was complete?

About your question in the email, the 120€ appears to include the maximum winnings of your first free spins bonus along with the amount you deposited (100€ winnings+ 20€ deposit)

the deposit bonus was lost.

I only requested a withdrawal after €0.00 was blocked by bonuses.


and the process was:

  1. 55FS upon registration 9.81€ won 384 € Play Try completed (my account balance was around 80-90 euros)
  2. KYC performed
  3. Deposited €20 with bonus - lost this play try - and then won and initiated withdrawals


why should I be paid out €120 out of €3000? 100 max bonus win and then get back €20 that I deposited, then the rest €2880 must be linked to the €20 - with the deposit bonus there is no max €100


and only on 3.11 I was informed by email "

9.81 EUR BETTING FORMAT50 wagered

max cashout FS - 100 EUR

exceeding winnings subtracted - 2880 EUR"


However, I only requested the withdrawal of the 3000 after completing the turnover requirement and depositing - if the casino tells me that the bonus has been played through - then I'm done with it - and especially if I deposit money afterwards - otherwise, when the requirements are met, the withdrawal must be made immediately and not just the account balance adjusted

Thanks for your patience,

If you deposited and received a bonus on top of the balance that wasn't yet capped according to the maximum win condition, your funds were mixed.

In such circumstances any balance you accrued was achieved with funds that didn't belong to you, leading you to gain an unfair advantage. If only your previous winnings and the deposit were returned in such a situation, we would consider the actions of the casino justifiable.

Could you please clarify whether you deposited the 20€ on top of the 381,40€?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I won €9.81 with the free spins - then I had to make a turnover of €381.40, after which I could reach a maximum profit of €100. I met the turnover requirement = €100 profit, in order to get this winnings paid out you first have to make a deposit of €20 (because the 1st deposit is a 100% bonus) so I have €140 in my account, with this money I made my winnings - if I can't win anything with the deposit, why waste time in a casino??


The casino corrected my account to €100 after I had completed the turnover requirement. My withdrawal requests were only processed after all bonus requirements had been met. Before you have met these, it is not possible to request a withdrawal!

Hello Knaebel,

I'm Michal, and I have taken over your complaint. I have reviewed your case and I will contact the casino to shed more light on this matter.

We would like to invite Richard Casino to join the conversation.


Dear Richard Casino,  

I acknowledge that each no deposit bonus comes with a maximum win limit as outlined in your bonus terms. However, the player has successfully completed the wagering requirements associated with the bonus, and the resulting winnings appear to be included in the player's "real money balance." This suggests that the restrictions of the bonus should no longer be applicable to subsequent gameplay. Additionally, the player has also made a real money deposit, albeit with a deposit bonus attached. I would be grateful for your clarification regarding the reason for capping the player's winnings at only €100.

Dear Casino Guru representatives,


We wish to extend our most sincere apologies for the circumstances that occurred with the player's withdrawal process.

We acknowledge that this experience may have resulted in frustration and inconvenience, and we sincerely regret any distress it may have caused.


We would like to explain the situation from our side.

First of all, let us point out our Bonus Terms: All Deposit Bonuses have the max cashout limit - the bonus amount x10 and the maximum winnings that will be paid out resulting from any free spins bonus will be 100 EUR.

Please note that until the withdrawal of the relevant balance is processed, funds on the balance will be considered subject to the maximum winnings rule.


In addition, as it was winning from the registration no deposit bonus, we asked the player to make a minimum deposit of 20 EUR with a payment system the player wanted to make a withdrawal with. In this case, the x3 deposit wager requirement does not apply and both winnings and the deposit can be withdrawn without any play-through.


The player made the deposit, however, received a first deposit bonus and continued to play.

Unfortunately, the first deposit bonus was not wagered and the bonus was lost.


To sum up, unfortunately, the player's balance was corrected to the amount which is indicated in the maximum cashout rule.

We hope for your understanding regarding this matter.


Kind Regards,

Richard Casino Team

I have played a little in your casino since the incident, and as you can see from the screenshot - your financial software has bonuses and FS winnings under control at all times. As long as you still have to meet the turnover requirements, no withdrawal is possible.


When I requested my withdrawals, all of my requirements were met.


You just need to look at my play history - then you can see that I am in the right - and you have my bank details. I am still missing €2880.00 - because I don't think you want to tell me that your financial software cannot be trusted??

Thank you for the clarification, Richard Casino Team.


Dear Knaebel,

As per the casino team's explanation, although you did make the deposit, however, you made it alongside another bonus, and since you decided to continue playing, the funds became mixed, thus the casino team correctly adjusted the winnings to the amount that is indicated in the maximum cashout rule.

If you had chosen just to deposit and consequently withdraw the winnings from the free spins and then deposit again, this would be the correct procedure. Since you had (even though most likely unintentionally) mixed the funds, unfortunately, the bonus rules, including the maximum withdrawal limit from the initial sign-up bonus, are still in place as mentioned in the casino bonus terms and conditions you had agreed to when registering your account.

Unfortunately, after gathering all the necessary information and evidence, we are forced to reject this complaint. We strongly recommend that you carefully review the bonus terms and conditions before activating any bonuses to ensure full compliance with the rules.

We are sorry we could not be of more help on this occasion. Should you encounter any issues with this or any other casino in the future, please feel free to reach out to us, and we will try our best to help.


Best regards,

Michal
