I opened an account which had a bonus £10 which needed to be staked 99x in order for me to be able to withdraw. Within about an hour id got it up to £500, and had met the stake requirement, and so made my withdrawal. 3 days later I receive an email saying they have checked my history and seen that I was placing "minimal risk" bets and removed my bonus. Now I would have completely understood this if I had been staking £200 on red or £200 on black to get my total stake up, but I wasn't. I was putting chips on numbers, and on multiple occasions I lost my entire stake for certain bets, and I am baffled as to how they could possibly say I have been making minimal risk bets. One hour of playing and got £10 to £500, doesn't quite seem like a minimal risk? Some bets did have a large amount of numbers covered, but I think that is to be expected when staking over £100, and many of the possible results would have still resulted in a loss on that spin, and so I would like to know how they could have understood this as not taking enough risks.

Hi,
The definition of "minimal risk" is available within the bonus terms. This definition is what is used to determine whether the bets are considered "minimal risk". In the player's case it is clearly demonstrated that the bets were consistently minimal risk bets - and therefore the winnings were removed due to the player not adhering to the bonus terms. We have many players who are lucky and who win from bonuses - provided they have played within the terms of the offer they are eligible for the winnings.
We would like to reiterate that players are free to choose to play with or without a bonus. If they choose to play with a bonus they should make themselves aware of the bonus terms prior to commencing wagering.
Kind Regards,
SuperCasino

As I stated before, the bets were not minimal risk as many of the covered numbers were insignificant stakes that would have resulted in a loss - I am sure that the statistics will show that my bets were not designed to increase my total stake for the withdrawal requirements and were in fact very risky. I think this simply comes down to the fact that I was lucky, my numbers came in, and you are unhappy that I was successful in the promotion - judging by virtually all of the other complaints on AskGamblers I am clearly not the first person that has had a problem with SuperCasino and a significant withdrawal.

We have provided evidence to AskGamblers which shows the player's bets. As mentioned in our previous response, the player's bets consistently covered not just the majority but over 80% of the table. Unfortunately this is a breach of the bonus terms and as such the player's withdrawal was declined. The player's deposit of £10 has been returned to their balance.
We understand some players prefer to play without bonuses and associated terms - which is why we give the player the option of opting out of bonuses when joining. When playing with cash, players can bet on any game and exactly as they wish. They will win cash which they can withdraw at any time. If a player does choose to take a bonus we do urge them to read & understand the bonus terms before starting to wager.
