Case summary

1 year ago

The player from Germany had his withdrawal request denied by StickyWilds Casino due to alleged bonus abuse. The casino had claimed the player moved from large bets on high variance games to smaller bets on low variance games after a win. However, the player had contested this, stating the game played was not listed among the restricted games for bonus usage. We had invited the casino to the conversation, but they had stood by their decision, citing a breach of their terms and conditions. We disagreed with the casino's stance, arguing that the player's strategy did not provide an unfair advantage. Despite our position, the casino did not change its decision, leading us to mark the complaint as 'unresolved'.

Hello,


I am a player from Germany.


The aforementioned Casino denied my withdrawal request, alleging bonus abuse on the grounds that I played a low variance game (Jack Hammer) to meet the turnover requirements.

However, this game is not listed in the restricted games for bonus money.

I am a verified user within the Casino and I find their decision to be unfair.

Dear Player, 


We understand this was not the outcome you would have been hoping for, as mentioned in our communication the terms and conditions were breached and the winnings were rightly confiscated due to this. 


In this instance, the term that was breached was 1.18 H which states the following - 


H. Moving from large bets that are placed on high variance outcomes, and after a large win switching to normal variance outcomes with smaller bets with the purpose of clearing Wagering Requirements. 


While you were playing with the active bonus you originally started making the maximum bet allowed of €5 on a higher volatility game and once you won you changed your gameplay to lower volatility games and you also lowered your stake down to €2. 


You can also find our full bonus terms and conditions here: General Bonus Terms


We hope this clears things up and thank you for your time.


Regards, 

StickyWilds Casino

Thank you StickyWilds Casino team for your response. We don’t consider using the strategy above to be an unfair advantage on the side of a player if the max bet rule wasn't breached. You can read more about our position here: https://casino.guru/our-position-on-banning-betting-patterns. Unless there is a software block for this or a clear warning in the form of a popup window, I'm afraid, we are convinced that the player should get paid in full.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Good morning,


We understand it is not the desired outcome for the player but we will be standing by our original decision.


This is stated in our terms and conditions which the player did accept when creating an account with us. Since there has been a clear breach of term 1.18 H we feel the decision is justified.


Regards,

StickyWilds Casino

Dear StickyWilds Casino team,

As stated above, I'm afraid we can't accept your decision. The mentioned strategy doesn't give players any unfair advantage over the casino. The complaint will become unresolved.


Dear Rubeng93,

I'm afraid the casino doesn't seem to be willing to change its decision. 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 respond and change its position, we will reopen the complaint, and you will be notified by email. I am sorry I could not be of more help on this occasion.

Best regards,

Peter
