white lion bets gave me a 10 euro bonus. I rolled it up to 1000 euros and in the end the balance was 190 euros that I could have withdrawn. then I forward the withdrawal and after two days they tell me that I would have violated the casino terms by betting more than 30% of the balance. I have always played for amounts less than 1 euro per slot, 2 euro per bj. I'm tired of losing always and now even when I win. I had to choose another site in the window because this is missing from the options but I saw on your forum that in December you helped another user with my same problem. thank you in advance

Hello Vipintrip, 
Are you still in contact with the casino manager? Would you be so kind and send us a screenshot of your conversation or forward to us the email from White Lion Casino support, please? 

I found this in the Bonus T&Cs: The casino reserves the right to remove winnings and withhold withdrawals where irregular play is evident. Irregular play is defined by the casino as one of the following.  Placing single bets equal to or greater than 30% of the value of the smallest bonus credited to the player account, prior to the total wager requirement for that balance having been met. Placing single bets equal to or higher than 30% of the most recent deposit in play, if it is smaller than the bonus. This max bet limit applies to all players even if no bonus is received, or if the Total Wager Requirement has been cleared.
I would really like to help you, but I would need a proof that you didn’t breach this term. This could be, for example, a screenshot of your gaming history. Is it possible for you to see your game history? If you do not have this option, you can try to ask the White Lion Casino support to send it to you. You can forward it here: yullia.k@casio.guru

Best regards, 

Juli

what the hell is that as a rule? then I can't pay € 100 and play them all at once because any winnings would be canceled and I would lose the 100 in any case? Are we joking ?

Anyway I sent a video of the "game history" because it cannot be downloaded. I also saw on your forum that in December you solved an identical problem to another user who had canceled 6000 € of balance

We consider this rule to be unfair, especially when it is used against players as a reason to decline withdrawals. But not when it comes to bonus. Hopefully I will be able to help you. Could  you please, forward the video one more time? yullia.k@casino.guru

So since mine was a bonus I wouldn't be entitled to winnings? so what is the point of the bonuses if in the moment in which you win you cannot withdraw or even cancel you completely?

I apologize in advance, but unfortunately, it doesn’t show me attachments in your e-mail.  Maybe could you try to send me your game history to another e-mail? For example: yuliia.k@guruadmins.com

Hi Vipintrip, 
First of all I would like to apologize.  
Unfortunately, I have not received your e-mail. Perhaps you could try to send me screenshots only?

Hello Vipintrip, 
Thank you very much for your quick reply. Well, I checked your game history. And now I have some questions. Did you receive the bonus on top of your real cash balance? Did you have any real cash balance in your casino account before you received the bonus? Looking forward to hearing from you.

I had no balance. They gave me the bonus and I played it

 I am afraid that if you won those €190 playing with the bonus and as I can see from your game history, you really placed a bet higher than 30% of the active bonus, there is nothing we can do for you. It is clearly stated in the casino’s Bonus T&Cs.  

You placed a bet of €4 and €8 on blackjack while playing with a bonus, and the maximum allowed bet in your case was €3.  And look what I found in casino's Bonus T&Cs:

 The following games are not eligible to play with the bonus and do not count towards wagering requirements: Blackjack in all forms, Roulette in all forms, and Poker in all forms.

I would really like to help you, but first I need to contact casino. Maybe they will try help you.  

 

Please note that we would like all casinos to technologically enforce the maximum bet rule, as we mention in our fair gambling codex (https://casino.guru/fair-gambling-codex-for-casinos#max-bets), but most casinos don’t do that yet.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

We will now try to get in touch with the casino and find more information case. 
Could you write your opinion on this situation?

Blackjack bets do not count towards wagering requirements, so theoretically the player did not break the rules.

bj and roulette were in the special bonus game section where there were all the games on which you could take advantage of the bonus. as for the bets of 4 and 8 euros if I remember correctly I had bet on several positions (which at the bj table were 3).

Dear Vipintrip

We read one more time White Lion Casino’s T&Cs carefully and in the Bonus T&Cs it’s written:

In order to withdraw winnings from a no deposit bonus, the player has to verify the account by depositing a minimum amount of €20 via credit card.

€70 can be cashed out (€50 in winnings plus €20 deposited). Any amount over the maximum cashout will be automatically removed upon cashout.  

So firstly, as you told me before, you get the 10€ free bonus. In this case the maximum amount you can withdraw is 50€.  

Secondly,  the casino’s  Bonus T&Cs clearly state that betting more than 30% while having an active bonus can lead to exaction of all wins. The casino can form their own T&Cs and set their own rules for the game play, especially when it comes to bonuses.  

I apologize, but I am rejecting your complaint, because you breached the casino's terms and in this case, there is nothing we can do. The only thing I can do for you now is to recommend you to be more careful in the future and if you don't understand any point of T&Cs or you aren't sure, please ask the support.

I hope you won't come across similar problems again.
Best regards, 

Juli
