I deposited 67 euros with a 75 percent bonus.

after the end of the wagon I was able to pay 1650 euros.

After a short time, I received an email with the message that my payment of 1650 euros had been canceled and that it had been returned to my player account.


Then the shock on my player account was only 67 euros, so the deposit that I got back although the email said that 1650 euros were returned to my player account.


I immediately contacted the live chat to get more information. They claim I had violated the bonus conditions but could not give me any more detailed information about what exactly I should have violated.


I played 2 slots on 2-3 euro bet during the entire bonus and these were also allowed with a bonus and I cannot explain what exactly I should have violated.


It was not my first withdrawal and I am fully verified in this casino and I have never had any problems with withdrawals there.

Dear fowi30 and Casino Guru Team,


Based on the internal processes and procedures on fraud prevention and bonus abuse detection, the team reviewed the gameplay patterns of the customer and concluded that they are against the fair play. The checks performed have clearly shown that the player is taking advantage of the offers. We are not able to provide further information to the public as this will be a breach of the internal policies and considered as tipping off.

As per the site's TnC, posted here https://shangrilalive.com/help/casinobonusterms:

16. If there is a suspicion of abuse, we reserve the right to cancel the respective bonus, to retract any costs that may have resulted in conjunction therewith and to close your account indefinitely. In such instances, we further reserve the right to request and obtain satisfactory proof of deposit and additional copies of personal identification prior to processing any withdrawal request, and the processing of such a request shall be entirely at our discretion.


17. ShagriLaLive reserves the right to void any bonuses and/or winnings obtained by fraudulent behavior or abuse of the bonus offer. We also reserve the right to apply a 10% withdrawal fee to cover our own costs (including the cost of the deposits) for withdrawals of funds that have been put to use for such activities.


19. In case of any dispute, the decision by Shagri La management is final."


Kind Regards,


Shangri La Live Casino

Dear Shangri La Live Casino team,

Could you please elaborate on the statement and provide some evidence (my email address is peter.m@casino.guru)? Should GDPR be an issue, we can have the player sign a Power of Attorney.

received the following email today

1650 euros are now back on my game account and I will request a payout.

apparently the casino cannot provide any evidence of bonus abuse.

But they tried not to pay me my money even though I didn't violate anything, just for that there should be black points.

Dear Casino Guru Team,


We have reviewed the players account. Our Fraud team regard the gameplay as bonus abuse, We do not reveal our sources or methodology for investigations. However we recognize our terms could have been clearer, so have decided to offer the player the full amount back into his account, which is available for him to withdraw as a gesture to be seen as a brand that is fair and wants to be transparent. 


Kind Regards,


Shangri La Live Casino

I will no longer be able to use one-off bonuses with you in the future or will my account be excluded from bonus offers from now on?
