Unfair confiscation of legitimate winnings
Dear Askgamblers.com,
I recently (31.07.20) made a deposit of 100€ with a 100% bonus at casinoplanet.com. I managed to get ~400€ out of the bonus and then played afterwards till I requested a withdrawal of 1000€. A day later my withdrawal got refused and my money confiscated because of a violation of bonus terms, specifically betting over 5€ single bet two times. They told me in 2 e-mails that it had been 2x 50€ bets.
I have to say that, every time I use a bonus in online casinos, I read the terms very carefully. Not betting over a specified betting size is normal and I didnt do that. What they referring to is the game "hot shots 2", with the function getting 50 spins of your bet size which I did twice. Its not a bonus buy and not a single bet. Its just 50 spins of your bet size, in my case 50x 1€, you see the spins and you dont get any guarantee of winning a bonus. Your RTP just moves from 95% to 95,5%. In addition none of my winnings resulted from that bets.
Casinoplanet.com has a complaint department with 2 steps which I all followed. First getting in touch with support. The live support told me that the decision is final and they cant do a thing. The second step is an e-mail adressing the complaint department, which I also did. They state in their policy that it may take up to 10 days getting an answer, now its 11 days without an answer.
I have a copy of the live chat transcript and 3 e-mails from support, if you need them.
Thank you in advance for having a look into my case.
