Unfairly confiscating a huge chunk of a wagered bonus


So i registered at Bingo.com, i noticed there was a 500% Bonus there, i deposited 1000 NOK and got 6000 NOK to play for, i eventually wagered the bonus, using maximum 5€ stake, i was overjoyed and about to withdraw a huge amount of 70.000, Sounds nice yes?

well...it soon went south because The so called security team said this:

[17:32:46] Benjamin: Looks from the security department here that your bonus and winnings with this are canceled according to our Terms & Conditions point 7.1.3 which reads the following: An account holder is only eligible for one bonus per Account, which does not involve more than one bonus per user, IP address, computer device, family, home address, phone number, credit or debit card and / or e-payment account, email address and environments where computers are shared (university, pool, school, public library, workplace, etc.).
As well as point 7.3.2:
If there is reasonable suspicion that the Account Holder has attempted or attempted to exercise a bonus abuse either on its own or as part of a group, Unibet reserves the right to: remove in its sole discretion the bonus allocated to the Account Holder and any gains from it the bonus and / or cancel, refuse or withdraw a bonus offer to the Account Holder and / or block access to special products and / or key Account Holder from future promotional offers and / or immediate effect to terminate the Account Holder's account.

I imediatly contacted support, i also noticed that i had 1100€ in balance, not 100€ as i deposited, i also notified support about this.

So i kept 1000€ that is "fraud" money?

And here is where it get's interesting, i started playing for the 1000€ balance wich was Note: fraud money in their eye.

Well guess what? I worked myself up to 3500€ and put a withdrawal, and guess what? they actually paid me, they actually paid me 3500€ wich 1000€ of them was "fraud money", Doesnt wound very much fraud to me but a casino refusing to allow big winners their withdraw.

Please explain to me how they can pay me Fraud money and still claim it to be a fraud?

The bottom point here is, If it really was fraud, they would not paid a single Dime to me, they would not give me 1000€ Extra cash from wagered bonus and then let me withdraw 3500€


So where is my missing 5800€ wich i wagered before you took my money and gave me 1000€ Extra? and THEN allowed me to withdraw 3500€ wich was , Let me repeat myself, Money from what security team called "fraud money".

Hi EMREKYU,

To clarify, the money that remained in your account after the bonus amount and winnings were confiscated, not 'unfairly', but due to clear bonus abuse via multiple accounts, relates to your original deposit amount and winnings from game play with this original deposit amount.

This money is not 'fraud money' and we have never suggested that it is, hence why your withdrawal was processed.

We believe we have been exceedingly fair in how we have handled this situation.

Refusing to follow their refund policy, still owe me 100 NOK
I was blocked from entering my account so I contacted customer service. They quoted these two paragraphs from the terms of the bonus:

7.3.3 Where there is a reasonable suspicion that a series of bets has been placed by a customer or group of customers which, due to a bonus, free bet or any other promotional offer, result in guaranteed customer profits irrespective of the outcome, Unibet reserves the right to reclaim the bonus and in its absolute discretion to settle bets at the correct odds, void the free bets and/or void any bet funded by the bonus or bonus winnings.

7.4.3 Unibet reserves the right to withhold the bonus from the Referrer and to discount bets made by one or more Referees where Unibet suspects that the Referrer/Referee(s) has abused the spirit of the bonus offer including, but not limited to, instances where Referees make identical or very similar deposit and betting patterns.

I don't know what my friends have done to get me blocked. One might have played just like I did in order to win like I had, and another signed up with a madeup name. Either way, bingo.com has the right to block my account and they have the right to withhold my 1500 NOK referrer bonus without giving a reason. The problem is that I had 1600 NOK on my acount, 100 of which where deposited from my Neteller account. They are refusing to give me back my 100 NOK deposit even though their own refund policy states:

"Upon making any real deposits, players are able to request a withdrawal (cash out) of any amount of funds which have not yet been wagered. There are no limitations or restrictions to this policy"

That 100 NOK had not yet been wagered and should be returned to me.
