I requested a turnover-free bonus and won a total of €1500.
I cancelled the bonus (the €200 were deducted from the bonus), withdrew €1000, and continued playing with the remaining money.
Now, the payout of the €1000 legitimate winnings has been cancelled. The reason given is that the remaining "real money" violated the bonus terms and conditions, even though the bonus had been cancelled. (There was no second payout)
If there had been a second withdrawal, I can perhaps understand to some extent. However, since the only withdrawal was completely legitimate, this rejection of payout is a joke to me.
The live chat did not help me much. Instead, the young "lady" tried throwing around some rules that are not listed anywhere in the bonus terms and conditions.

The game was played with a 100% bonus without wagering requirements.
The specified game San Quentin was only played after the bonus was cancelled and a withdrawal was made.
For any inquiries, I'm willing to help.

Thank you for your reply, dnL1337. It seems that the casino accused you of breaching the maximum allowed bet of €4 and playing restricted games.
Our position regarding maximum allowed bets is closely explained in Fair Gambling Codex:
The max bet rule is, in fact, an industry standard, just as the fact that a casino has the right to seize the player's winnings from bonus play after breaking this rule. We prefer not to go against industry standards by penalizing casinos that use the maximum bet rule against players from time to time.
However, if you feel like you have been accused mistakenly, feel free to forward me your game history together with a link to the specific bonus that you redeemed and played. My email address is kristina.s@casino.guru.
If there is any other relevant communication between you and the casino, please send it as well.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

I activated a bonus, won and then canceled the bonus.
then I paid out part of the winnings and continued playing with the remaining winnings (bonus buys etc.) After that, no further payouts were made.
The casino is now accusing me of having exceeded the maximum bet because I continued playing with higher stakes after cancelling the bonus.
