Unfair confiscation of legitimate winnings


user_avatar

I took the 4th welcome bonus on locowin (50% match deposit for a deposit up to 400€).

I deposited €20 and received €10 bonus.

After completing the bonus i withdrew €320 but they canceled the withdraw without informing me about it, no explanation, nothing. They just put only €150 back into my account, so they confiscated €170 of my winnings. After informing in the chat about the reason, they told me it was because of the following bonus term:

“The maximum withdrawal for winnings from the welcome bonus is fifteen times (x15) the amount of the bonus generating deposit”.

But before i took the bonus I read the terms and found this line suspicious, because it is vague and unclear. I am not good at english, it's not my native language, so for this reasons I asked two times for an explicit explanation in the chat, the same guy gave me the same answer – twice - after inquiring.

I asked him what is meant by: “the amount of the bonus generating deposit” is it the amount of the bonus only or the amount of the deposit + the bonus?

He explained to me that it was the deposit + the bonus, he even gave the following example: I cite: “if you deposit 20€ you will recieve 20€ bonus so its 20+20 x 15 = 600”

He could not send me the history of that chat to my email, but he guaranteed me that if there were problems they had the chats loaded in their system, so i took screenshots of it just to make sure.

Now they confescated €170 of my winnings and they told me that the line of the terms (above) means 15x the amount of the bonus only, so i cant cash out more than €150 (10x15 makes 150). I lost €170 because one of their employers gave me wrong information!

Coincidentally I spoke to the same person yesterday in the chat and he acknowledges his mistake, but I don't get more than excuses from him and from Locowin. Not even a compensation, nothing at all!

I have received an email stating: We are acting in your favor to avoid further unpleasant situations like this.

But its not a favor, its my right. They should have said: you were right, we apologize. Even when they continued to deny, the chat still indicated it was 15x the deposit amount.

I don't like the fact that they call it a favor. But at the end I have received my right and they changed the bonus term correctly into:

“The maximum withdrawal for winnings from the welcome bonus is fifteen times (x15) the deposit amount.”

So it's resolved now, with thanks to the Askgamblers team.

The withdrawal has not been received

Day 1: I made a deposit and won some money, then requested a withdrawal.


Day 2: I received an email saying that I had to verify my identity, so I sent in all the documents they required.


Day 3: My account is fully verified.


Day 4: My withdrawal was approved according to an email sent at 03:11:33. I will attach files showing this.

Later that day, I checked my bank account and no amount of €200 had been received. I did receive another SEPA withdrawal from another casino that same day, which was approved around the same time as this one. Not the same amount as this one ofc.


Day 5: I checked my bank again and still no money. It has never taken this long before, and I have made hundreds of SEPA withdrawals over the past 10+ years.

So I logged into my Locowin account, and there it says that my €200.00 withdrawal is cancelled on my transaction page. I contacted live chat to ask what was going on with my withdrawal.

At first, they told me that my withdrawal was cancelled at 2025-12-22 03:11, which is the exact time my withdrawal was approved according to the email.

I then sent them a screenshot of that email, and after that the agent told me she was wrong and that the withdrawal was approved, not cancelled — probably because she saw that it was marked as cancelled in my transaction history.


Day 6: Live chat told me to wait and that I would receive the money. They also said that if I had not received it within 7 days, they would start an investigation. However, they did not start one and just kept telling me to wait more days.


Day 12 (Today): I still have not received any money in my bank account. While searching online, I found a case very similar to mine on AskGamblers that also involves Locowin and was resolved. I am pretty sure this is the exact issue I am experiencing right now, as the withdrawal cannot be fully approved when it is shown as cancelled in my transaction history.


I have made withdrawls from this site and it's sister sites before without any problem, so i really hope this issue can be solved with help from askgamblers as i can't do anything about it myself.


I will link the case I am referring to here, if it is allowed.

Delayed Withdrawals at Locowin Casino 15500EUR

Dear AskGamblers Team,

I am submitting a new complaint regarding delayed withdrawals at Locowin Casino, as I am once again facing unexplained delays in receiving my funds.

On 12/03/2025, I requested the following withdrawals:

• ID: 12803987 – €5,000 (Requested at 04:30)

• ID: 12804020 – €5,000 (Requested at 04:32)

• ID: 12804035 – €2,500 (Requested at 04:34)

Violation of Locowin Casino’s Terms

According to Locowin Casino’s terms and conditions, withdrawals should be processed within 48 hours after the request. My account is fully verified, and I have met all necessary requirements.

However, my withdrawals remain stuck in pending status beyond the expected timeframe. When I contact support, I only receive generic automated responses stating that my withdrawal is under “additional checks” with no explanation or estimated timeframe:

“Due to our own due diligence, we need to carry out additional checks on your withdrawal request. This may extend the validation process by a few days. Rest assured that once these checks are completed, you will receive an email notification from the relevant department.”

Request for Resolution

This lack of transparency and extended delays go against the casino’s stated policies. I kindly request AskGamblers’ assistance in escalating this matter to ensure that Locowin Casino honors its withdrawal terms and processes my payments as soon as possible.

Thank you for your time and support. I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
