LuckyWins! Casino - Die Gewinne des Spielers wurden konfisziert.

I received 5 free spins at this casino with a bonus code and won just over €1 with them. I then played another game where I initially won €80 and continued playing for a while. After fulfilling the wagering requirements for the bonus, I increased my bet to €1 and eventually won €800. I immediately withdrew €500 and left the remaining amount in my account. Suddenly, while playing, my account was closed, and I could no longer log in. I contacted customer service to find out why my account was closed and what would happen to my withdrawn funds. Later, after they reopened my account, I received a reply saying that the maximum win with that bonus was €100, so they canceled my withdrawal request and returned €100 to my account. Can they really do this? I won the larger €800 after completing the wagering requirements, not during, so surely they can't deny my winnings? But that's what they did. In my opinion, if I've completed the wagering requirements for the bonus and then won €800, that entire amount should rightfully be mine, shouldn't it? I did withdraw the €100 they returned to my account. But dear Casino Guru, can you help me retrieve the missing €500 to my bank account?

Sain kyseiselle kasinolle 5 ilmaiskierrosta bonus koodilla ja voitin niillä kierroksilla jotain vähän päälle 1€. Menin yhteen peliin josta aluksi voitin 80€ ja pelailin sitä aikani siinä. Kun olin saanut kierrätettyä tuon bonuksen nostin panosta 1€ jolla lopulta voitin 800€. Laitoin heti kotiutukseen 500€ ja loput jätin pelitililleni. Yhtäkkiä kesken pelin tilini suljettiin enkä päässyt enään kirjautumaan. Otin asiakaspalveluun yhteyttä että miksi tilini on suljettu ja miten kotiuttamani varat? Noh sain sieltä sellaisen vastauksen myöhemmin kun he aluksi avasivat tilini että tuolla bonuksella maximi voitto on 100€ joten he ovat peruneet nosto pyyntöni ja palauttaneet tililleni 100€. Eihän tämä oikeasti voi näin mennä? Sain tuon isomman 800€ voiton vasta sitten kun olin jo saanut kierrätettyä tuon bonuksen en siis kierrätyksen aikana niin eiväthän he voi perua minun saamiani voittoja? Niin he kuitenkin tekivät. Minun mielestäni jos olen saanut kierrätettyä kyseisen bonuksen ja voitan vasta sen jälkeen tuon 800€ niin minun mielestäni ainakin tuo koko raha kuuluu minulle vai mitä? Laitoin kuitenkin sen 100€ kotiutukseen minkä sieltä sain. Mutta hyvä casinoguru voitteko te auttaa minua saamaan tuon puuttuvan 500€ pankkitililleni?

I used the code XMAS02 which gave me 5 free spins. With those free spins, I won about €1 and when I was able to recycle that, I had about €70-80 in my game account. There are screenshots of the conversation we had.

Käytin koodia XMAS02 jolla sai 5 ilmaiskierrosta. Noilla ilmaiskierroksilla voitin noin 1€ ja kun sain kierrätettyä tuon niin minulla oli pelitililläni noin 70-80€ rahaa. Tuossa on kuvakaappauksia meidän käymästä keskustelusta.

Here's a screenshot of the withdrawal request.

Tuossa vielä kuvakaappaus siitä nosto pyynnöstä.

Thank you for your reply, Jarski88. Do you see in your user profile that the real money and bonus money balance are divided? Were your initial bonus winnings transferred to the real money balance after you completed the wagering requirements?

Yes, it shows the bonus and real money separately. Yes, those winnings were transferred to the real money balance when I had fulfilled the recycling requirement.

Joo kyllä siinä näkyy erikseen bonus ja oikea raha. Kyllä ne voitot siirrettiin oikean rahan saldoon kun olin täyttänyt kierrätysvaatimuksen.

Thank you very much, Jarski88, for your cooperation. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter ([email protected]) who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.  

Hello there,

I would now like to ask LuckyWins! Casino for their help in resolving this complaint. We would like to know why were the player's winnings confiscated and what can we do to help resolve this issue.

Hi, 

We understand and sympathise with the player’s frustration about this situation. 

However, after a careful review of this complaint, our own records and the timeline of events, we are sorry to say that the decision to adjust the player’s balance was applied correctly. We also have to acknowledge that we overlooked an important detail when the player contacted us for the first time and the player’s eligibility for this promotion was not checked thoroughly. 

The player took part in the Lucky Xmas Wins promotion. For the full text of Terms and Conditions that apply to this promotion, please see the bottom part of the linked page:

The adjustment to the player's winnings was made entirely in line with the Terms and Conditions of this promotion, specifically this point: 

"5. Maximum winning from no-deposit bonuses (including no-deposit FS bonuses) is 100 EUR/USD/AUD/CAD/NZD, 1000 NOK, 0.004 BTC, 1.4 LTC, 0.06 ETH, 0.8 BCH, 1478 DOG, 100 USDT.

The Terms and Conditions also clearly state that the promotion is not available for players from Finland. 

"10. This promotion is not available to players from Finland."

To ensure accuracy, we verified that no promotional messages related to this offer were sent to this player or any other players from Finland.
