The player from Germany had his winnings cancelled due to placing a single bet greater than 30% of the last credited bonus. We rejected the complaint because the player didn't respond to our messages and questions.

Thank you in advance .... daniele
Dear Daniele,
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Could you please clarify which exact bonus you have received? I have checked general bonus terms and conditions, and this is what I found https://www.whitelionbets.com/bonus-terms-conditions/?lang=en:
"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. i. Using double up strategies like Martingale etc. ii. Placing zero, low margin or hedge betting are all defined as irregular betting for bonus play through requirements.
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."
Could you please confirm that the last credited bonus to your account had a value of €10?
Are you aware of placing single bet higher than the maximum allowed one (if the bonus were €10 then the maximum allowed bet would be €2,90)?
If you are aware of placing higher bets then the allowed ones, sadly, there is not much we can do to support your case at this time. I would strongly recommend reading all the T&Cs carefully before you start playing to avoid any misunderstandings in the future. Casinos try to design their bonuses to be as attractive as possible, but the rules must always be followed.
However, please do not hesitate to contact me if you feel that you’ve been accused mistakenly. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
Petronela
Additional comments from the player:
Yes, the bonus was 10 euros and I initially played with bets equal to 1 euro 25 cents then arrived at a certain point I increased the bet to 3.60 euros I came to unlock the terms to be able to withdraw initially they gave me a transaction number of the withdrawal ... but the next day they told me I was not entitled to that money .. if you have the opportunity please help me get this money thanks in advance for your help
Unfortunately, Daniele, there is nothing we can do for you regarding confiscated winnings. If you are aware of placing higher than allowed bets while wagering a bonus, casino has the right to cancel all the winnings associated with promotional offer.
We would like to see casinos implementing systems that would prevent players from placing higher than allowed bets, but, unfortunately, this is not a standard practice yet. You were not stopped or blocked when you decided to increase your bet, and, as a result, you breached the maximum bet rule.
Please let me know if there is any additional information that I have overlooked otherwise, I will be forced to reject your complaint. Thank you.
