Hi,
I recently received a $300 bonus from City Club Casino, after depositing several thousand dollars to their City Club and City Tower branded casinos. Upon meeting the conditions for wagering, I withdrew my maximum payout (20xbonus) of $6000. The bonus amount was removed and no longer appeared in the bonuses table in their cashier section. Upon a reverse withdrawal of this money I proceeded to win and withdraw $55,000.
City Club are now saying that my max entitled payout is $6000.- they are saying that the bonus (despite wagering conditions being met and the withdrawal being approved) is perpetual as "my winnings were derived from a bonus" and applies to my reverse withdrawal. I reason that if $6000 were my winnings and on my way to my bank account, and the bonus conditions had been met, and the bonus had been removed, that i am entitled to reverse the withdrawal and bet unrestricted.
Their Terms and Conditions do not deal with this at all. Please Help.

Hi, I received notification that this had been reopened. nothing has changed since my last comment, City Club stopped responding to my complaint. Unless there has been a change in management over there, I don't see this ever changing. I have nothing new to add but to say that their refusal to pay has caused many hardships. On seeking legal advice, I was told that the compay has positioned itself in a jurisdiction which has no accountability or regulation.
Hi AskGamblers,
Thanks for your reposnse to this issue (i can't see your response on here for some reason) and for asking the questions that you have of City Club. They are no longer answering my e-mails.
You are right in assuming that there is nothing in the terms and conditions regarding max winning son reverse withdrawals (after bonus removed). City Club need to confess to taking one of the following stances -
When a player reverses a withdrawl of max winnings (after bonus conditions met and bonus removed), either
a) The player is in a Win/Loss situation whereby the player can gamble to either lose their reverse withdrawal or increase their winnings. - In which case, I should be paid.
b) The player is in a No Win/No Loss situation, whereby they cannot increase their winnings or lose their reverse withdrawal - in which case they should pay back EVERY player who has lost their "max winnings" in this manner.
c) The player is in a Loss/Loss situation, whereby the player cannot increase their winnings and can lose their deposit - this would put City Club in breach of most gambling licences worldwide. I have had my lawyers contact CIGA to ascertain as to whether or not this is allowed in a Curucao licence.
I don't expect much from these guys as they are typically evasive and occasionally aggressive. What I would like to do is hold them to account. I intended to utilise that money to help a disabled family member and feel like City Club have not only robbed me, but him also. they shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.
Please, can you as a casino representative, tell us where can we find in your T&C such a rule and restriction? I can find only this - " While there is NO LIMIT to the amount a Player can cash out in the casino, there is a maximum amount that can be Withdrawn in one time. For receiving any Withdrawal which is higher than $10,000, an amount of $10,000 will be paid to you once a month, upon your Withdrawal request, until the full amount of your Withdrawal is paid. The foregoing applies also to Withdrawals of progressive jackpots" - Part 6, point 6.5.3
Absolute lies. Will pass on all correspondence to Ask Gamblers if you'd like. Have not dealt with my City Tower jackpot wins, put players in "lose only" situations, provide no reasoning or justification. Crooks. And crooks for 10 years apparently.
