Case summary

2 years ago

The player from Germany has been accused of breaching the bonus T&Cs by playing a restricted game while having an active bonus. Even though the circumstances of the issue legitimize the player's complaint, unfortunately, we ended up rejecting it since the casino acted in accordance with their rules. We are convinced that casinos should enforce the restricted games for bonus play automatically on a software level, however, due to the nature of this special bonus, we have to accept the rules as they are written.

Hello everyone, the casino is accusing me of playing a wrong game during an active bonus. Xmas sweet bonanza. This is not true, I even took photos in my history that refute that!!!! Unfortunately, no one responds to it in any way and my payout was canceled. But what is totally wrong is that the discussions have been going on for a month now and no one responds or they want to talk their way out of it somehow. I don't know anymore please help me because it's a lot of money

OK. My conversations with them were pointless. The first 2 weeks I always got the same standard answer and then something different but on my pictures you can see the time of the first payout. Half an hour later I played the xmas game. But the bonus was already over there.

Dear vegadream.com team.

However, my photos show that I made the first payment, so the bonus was over. And half an hour later I played what I wanted, that's not forbidden. I have already explained it to you 30 times and sent it to you several times. But unfortunately I don't get any other answer than this one. But this is wrong

Hello Bretter666,


Thanks for your reply. As we have checked that you had claimed wager free bonus that's why the bonus terms applies until you withdrawal all your winnings at once. Please read our following bonus terms for more clarity.


2.7.1. When playing with a wager free bonus offered by the casino, through a promotion/campaign or as a goodwill gesture from any member of the team, you are allowed a one-time withdrawal request (which will void the current bonus).In the case where funds remain in the balance, it will be considered as a win generated by your bonus and the bonus terms & conditions continue to apply.


We request you to read our bonus terms carefully to avoid the situation like this in the future.


Best Regards,

Vegadream Casino.

Dear Vegadream Casino,

I would like to ask some additional questions regarding the bonus because after reading the terms, we are not sure how exactly it works:

1. How exactly is the bonus activated? Do the players activate it themselves?

2. Are the specific terms for the bonus available to the player at the time of activating the bonus?

3. Could you please forward the specific terms (screenshot, email) of the bonus to my email address (peter.m@casino.guru)?

4. regarding this part: " you are allowed a one-time withdrawal request (which will void the current bonus). In the case where funds remain in the balance, it will be considered as a win generated by your bonus and the bonus terms & conditions continue to apply." What happens to the bonus after the one-time withdrawal is made? Is there a max-cashout applied? If so, how would it be possible for funds "to remain in the balance"? When will the bonus funds be cleared if not after the withdrawal?

5. Did the player play the restricted game before or after he made the withdrawal?

Hello Peter,


We apologies for the delay in reply. I have sent you the details on email to you as requested.

Dear Vegadream Casino team,

Thank you for the email but you didn't really answer my questions. Firstly, I would like to see the specific terms for the bonus in the exact form you offer them to the players. Secondly, how does a player know how much money they can withdraw? How much is the max cashout? And most importantly, if only a one-time withdrawal is allowed, how can a player make a partial withdrawal and play with the remaining money (with active bonus terms) and apply for a withdrawal of all the money? That makes absolutely no sense to me and can imagine that the players get pretty confused too.

Unfortunately, this is just a real letdown. you have so much money And then something like that. I've already made a good deposit myself. You tried exactly the same thing with a friend, but you saw your mistake with him. The question is why it didn't just happen to me. And my profit, which I am entitled to, is not paid out.

Hello Peter,


Please see the answer below as requested.


1) Firstly, I would like to see the specific terms for the bonus in the exact form you offer them to the players.


The player had claimed the wager free bonus. When player generate any winnings from the wager free bonus then player is allowed to make one time withdrawal according to the bonus term 2.7.1. But If the player wish to do a partial withdrawal then it's fine but player has to make sure to follow the bonus terms until player withdraw all the winnings.

2) Secondly, how does a player know how much money they can withdraw? How much is the max cashout? 


Player can withdrawal all the winnings except bonus money when player claim a wager free bonus with deposit. Player can check with our live chat support if they have any issue regarding the bonuses or maximum withdrawal.


3) And most importantly, if only a one-time withdrawal is allowed, how can a player make a partial withdrawal and play with the remaining money (with active bonus terms) and apply for a withdrawal of all the money?


According to the bonus terms 2.7.1, the player has to make a one time withdraw but if the player wish to make a partial withdraw then it's upon player but player has to follow the bonus terms with the reaming winnings as well. The finance department takes up to 48 hours to review the winnings once player make a withdrawal request and if player break any bonus terms then all the winnings gets forfeited and player get initial deposit back to the casino's account.


Best Regards,

Vegadream Casino.

However, the bonus ended at the time of the first payout. Nothing was displayed to me anymore. So you've just explained to yourself that you're talking nonsense

Dear Vegadream Casino team,

Why exactly were all the winnings confiscated? Since the player made the winnings without breaking the rules and requested a withdrawal, he should get paid. If the rules were broken after the withdrawal was made, there's no reason to confiscate all the winnings, especially if the bonus terms are this messy.

Hello Peter,


The player broken the bonus terms by placing bets on restricted games (Sweet Bonanza Xmas) during bonus rollover and also player broken the bonus term before making a withdrawal as well that's why we have confiscated the winnings. Let me explain you in brief.


The player claimed 100% wager free bonus with 25euro deposit on 15.04.2022 16:02 & the bonus was during the period 15.04.2022 16:02 & finished on 15.04.2022 22:15.


The player played "Temple tumble" on15.04.22 at 22.08 until 15.04.22 - 22.12 and the bet amount was 5€ when the bonus was active (Screenshot attached).

Thank you Vegadream Casino team for your reply and supporting evidence.

Dear Bretter666,

Even though we aren't very fond of this type of bonus, especially the fact that the bonus terms aren't completely transparent and clear and the restricted games aren't automatically enforced by the system, since the bonus is wager-free and therefore it can be quite profitable, there aren't many tools to limit the winnings and for the casino to protect itself against bonus abusers (not you). If you made a withdrawal prior to playing the restricted game, we would try to persuade the casino to at least pay you that part of the winnings, however, this is not the case. Unfortunately, we have to reject your complaint. I suggest you contact EADR Ltd, an MGA-approved Alternative Dispute Resolution service provider, by completing their online form available at this website https://eadr.org/eadr-form/ for a second opinion but I'm not sure if they will be able to help you either. I wish I could be of more help.

Best regards,

Peter
