Unfair max win from a bonus
1 year ago
Hello!
I've played in 24Casino and one day I joined their Telegram channel where sometimes these "bonus drops" (5e vouchers without deposit to the fastest ones) and special deposit bonuses are given. I used their 200% deposit bonus with a code "20PLAY60" and started to wager the bonus. In the message where this bonus was offered, the only thing regarding any terms was a line "Bonus T&Cs apply" and I thought that in the terms section line "Unless otherwise stated in specific Promotion Terms and Conditions, all winnings obtained from any deposit bonuses are capped at €/$5,000 or currency equivalent." matches to my case.
I played games and eventually got my first ever max win. My balance were close to 7000 euros and right begore the wagering requirement was completed, my balance were 6800 euros. But then, after the wagering requirement was done, by balance dropped to 200 euros. I was shocked of course and asked about this from a live chat, because I had earlier checked the information from live chat that is there cap win in this bonus, and I was told that that there isn't and that the 5000e normal bonus terms condition is used (I have a screenshot of this conversation). Then later when contacting the live chat, I was told that previous customer servicer had made a human error and I was told with a screenshot of a section "Telegram Bonus Drop" that this rule applies to my bonus where a line "Unless otherwise stated, all Bonus Drops are subjected to a Max Win of 2x value of the bonus drop" was highlighted.
I tried to tell the customer servicer that bonus drops and deposit bonus offers are two different things, as bonus drops are free vouchers whereas deposit bonuses require a deposit to be made. The terms they used in my case also stated that all bonus drops are subjected to 50x wagering requirement but my 200% bonus had a wagering requirement of 40x. Lastly, the Telegram Bonus Drop section says that Bonus Drops are subjected to max win of 2x of the value of Bonus Drop. So, if these rules had been followed in my case, the balance should been dropped to 80 euros, as 40 euros were the bonus amount of the bonus multiplied by 2, but my balance was reduced to 200 euros. The outcome was that the management is clear of this case and I cannot do anything.
So the way I see this case is that the Telegram Bonus Drop section from the terms page is used in my case, but the terms stated in that section doesn't match to my case. Then again, no additional or deviating information was given about the 200% deposit bonus so that I could knew the actual terms of the bonus. Lastly, if the live chat even confirms that there are no specified max win for the bonus I used and that general bonus terms are used, how could I know the terms of this bonus if the live chat doesn't even know any special terms to this bonus?
I feel bad and mislead as this is my first time ever writing this kind of complaint. I would have been happy with the 5000e cap win which can be found from the terms, but I cannot accept the 200 maximum win because I couldn't see or know this kind of restriction beforehand. And also the decision to use Telegram Bonus Drop terms with different conditions than explained in the site is not fine for me, as in this case I can't check the actual and correct terms of the bonus anywhere.
Lastly, I took screenshots of both bonus drop message as well as deposit bonus offer messages from the Telegram channel to show the difference within these two (because bonus drops are clearly advertised beforehand with a bonus drop alert message whereas deposit
bonuses are advertised just like a normal bonus offer) and also showing that no special conditions was given to the deposit bonus. I will attach these pictures as well as the conversations with the live chat hoping those give additional value for this case. After loosing the 6600 euros, I feel myself heartbroken as no compensation was even offered to understand my feelings, but I still hope this case progresses forward in a good will.
Sincerely,
Alex Heikkinen
