The player from Germany had won approximately €1,300 after meeting wagering requirements with a deposit bonus. However, the winnings were canceled as he had supposedly played a game that didn't contribute to the wager, which he had not been informed of. The player had provided all necessary information and screenshots to support his case. Despite our attempts to contact the casino and resolve the issue, there was no response from the casino's side. Therefore, we had marked the complaint as 'unresolved'. We recommended the player to contact the Curacao Gaming Authority for further assistance.

I have previously won in this casino using a deposited bonus and received the winnings.
I made another deposit, received a bonus, won approximately €1300, and met the wagering requirements. There was a progress bar showing the required wager and the progress I'd made. In the cashier section, the bonus was listed as wagered and I was able to request a payout ... now everything has been cancelled because I supposedly played a game that doesn't contribute to the wager. However, I was never informed about this and was able to play the game and apply the bonus. On other platforms, at least you are informed in this case or can't play the corresponding games.
It roughly borders on fraud and is at least deliberate deception in order not to have to pay out such winnings and I hope you can help me with this.
Thank you,
Moses

Dear Mophet,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. We think that restricted games for bonus play should be blocked, and this rule enforced at the software level, i.e., that the casino's software or website shouldn't let players place bets on the games that are not allowed to be played while completing the bonus wagering. That would be an ideal scenario. Another acceptable practice would be to at least alert the players when they access a restricted game that this game is not allowed to be played while they have an active bonus.
Could you please advise if you have been warned by the software when accessing any of the restricted games?
If you wish to forward any relevant communication you can do so at petronela.k@casino.guru.
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve your problem as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Petronela

Hello
many thanks for the answer.
Unfortunately, I was never informed about any applicable restrictions. On the contrary, a bar was displayed which showed the sales progress. Here all bets in all games were counted so that I could meet the conditions and the credit was converted into real money. I was then able to request a payout which was then canceled. With reference to the list found in the terms and conditions. This is so confusing that it is hardly possible to recognize individual games. Even after a thorough search, I couldn't find the game Money Train 3 I was playing in the list. In my opinion, the player was deliberately deceived in order not to have to pay out large winnings in case of doubt... so it borders on fraud. And it's very frustrating so I really hope for insight from the operator...
Thank you for your commitment

Hi Mophet,
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 Curacao Gaming Authority (certria@gaminglicences.com) and submit a complaint to them. The Gaming Authority has more options and tools to help players. Please let me know how they responded (peter.m@casino.guru). I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.
Best regards,
Peter
