Cancel my bonus without any reasons

Message on forum

I am a player at slotland for a year. I like their games and bonus structure. In order to gain the bonus “deposit 1000$ and gain 100$bonus”, I have played activly last two months. I have deposied at least 1780$ at slotland for this year. However, before I can get my second “deposit 1000$ and gain 100$bonus”，today I receives a letter that told me they will not give me bonus anymore, without any reasons written.

I hope to get the bonus I should get, and have the right to gain bonus. Unless slotland can provide the reasonable excuses to remove my bonus, they should not cancel anyone's bonus arbitrarily. (just because I may earn a little money from them?）

If slotland deny my demand, i think every player should keep in mind that the casino may cancel your bonus that you should have or almost qualify for. It is not a normal casino should do.

The letter I received is attached as following（can anyone figure out the reason they provide?）:

“Dear Sir,

This is Robert, Supervisor of Customer Support at Slotland. You have
been a loyal member of Slotland Casino for one year already and during
this time you have proven to be a very skilled and experienced player.

Both Slotland and Win A Day are fair and honest casinos and do not
exclude players because of their exceptional luck or skillful playing as
our competition sometimes does. However, we cannot continue granting you
our Promotional and Standard bonuses. For this reason, I have
unsubscribed your account from receiving our Newsletters and all
bonuses, effective immediately.

Thank you for understanding and I hope you remain our loyal player in
the future.

Please, let me know, if I can be of any assistance.

Sincerely,
Robert

Hi lin001112,

Glad to hear you're okay with the solution suggested. Again, let me repeat that I'm offering you this favor not because we feel the need to do so but merely as a sing of our good will.

Although I believe that I've already provided you with a sufficient explanation above, but let me repeat that under the normal circumstances each player *always* receives all bonuses he/she is entitled to. The only exceptions to that --- apart from the situations when the players directly violate house rules, namely the terms & conditions --- can e.g. be the situations when a player utilizes bonuses beyond the extent of extending his game play in order to be play longer. Obviously we're thinking long term here, coz otherwise we wouldn't let you take advantage of all the bonuses for over a year while being constantly ahead of the house. And we wouldn't pay out any Jackpot of which dozens have been paid out in the past...

As per your today's question --- as stated on the info page about our VIP program itself [i.e. ...In order to be considered as a Bronze VIP, **besides other criteria**, you need to have deposited at least $3,000 during the lifetime of your account...], there are other criteria being taken into account when reviewing a candidate for a VIP level. Read as, having deposited so much in the past per se does in no way serve as a guarantee that a player will be promoted to a particular VIP level.

Hence depending on whether you are being allowed to enter any particular VIP level or not, you will also be eligible for all the goodies it offers or not. At this point it's still early to say how your particular case would be handled though.

A note to Askgamblers: Case closed.

Kind regards

Jack

I accept your offer, although I still feel you did not give a good explanation for playets to follow(eg: under what circustance a player will be canceled his/her bonus status?). Can we know it in advance?

Besides, I have another question: if I deposited more than $3000，can I get the VIP status and its bonus? I think other player may also care about the validity of VIP system before accumulate our deposits in slotland.

Hi lin001112,

It appears that you didn't find my response helpful, nor did understand it well. Let me try again ---

ad 1 - You sound like a wise man. But trying to oppose the terms of a site that you've been a member of for more than a year isn't what any wise man would do. There is this checkbox that you ticked off during registration process next to the clause that says 'I have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions'. Please act accordingly.

Moreover, applying the rules/terms does not mean abusing them. Also I've already offered a clear explanation in my response above. Please scroll above and re-read what I said there (starting with "you can actually serve...").

ad 2 - We are not excluding you as a player, only limiting the number of comps you can take advantage of. After more than a year during which we kept throwing the comps your way, let me add. And again, as also said above, you're most welcome to continue testing your skills. Only without the help of extra chips.

ad 3 - This is basically the only valid argument from those you made that we're willing to accept. We are willing to make one time exception by granting you an option to claim your next 100/1000 bonus. Not because we are obliged to do so but because we are the good guys. You can request this bonus so by contacting our Customer Support requesting the extra credit to be added manually since you won't receive it automatically.

Note: Further attempts to continue heating up this quarrel will make you become ineligible of this offer.

ad 4 - Okay, after saying this several times already, let me repeat that --- contrary to what you say --- we actually *do* welcome players who get a bonus and win big enough to be able to cash out. Only we feel that players who are good enough to keep doing so for longer a year can most certainly keep trying without using the boost of extra chips.

Btw. you can find many stories about players being able to cash in on the free chip on this or other large affiliate portals. Our reputation of handling player payouts has been impeccable since 1998. That's something you can hardly argue with.

ad your question - Being a skilled player doesn't mean you're conducting any wrongdoing. Since should you have done anything against our terms, you would have been completely banned from all our sites.

Let me conclude by stating the key fact that being able to participate in promotions is a privilege. Not a rightful claim that you or anyone else would automaticaly be entitled to, or that could be enforced. Whether you find it fair or not, is a completely different story, I'm afraid.

To sum up the answer ---

* giving out extra bonuses is a favor, not an obligation, i.e. receiving bonuses is a priviledge, not a claim enforceable by law, or any other authority
* house rules and terms can be questioned but have to be complied with by playing at Slotland
* our decision made to exclude you from participating in promotions will not be revoked at this point
* only we're willing to make one time exception of granting you your next $100/1000 bonus on condition you are happy with the solution offered
* then you either continue playing without the help of promo chips or we part our ways, dead simple
* our decision is final

Kind regards

Jack

p.s. FYI, such 3rd party inquiries like AG disputes are only handled during business days. You can expect to hear from us early next week, in case you have the urge to continue in this conversation.

Phone verification nightmare

On the 10th November I joined Slotland Casino. I deposited 3 times that day, losing my first 2 deposits. On the third, I hit a jackpot on a slot and won $1318. I cashed out my win. Soon after my cashout, some documents were requested. I provided them and was informed by Thomas < surname removed > from the billing department that all that remained to verify the account was to take a phone call. I tried to arrange this phone call but Slotland never called when I asked them too. Often they would just never call on the day at all. Instead they’d call in their own time from an unknown number that I was unable to return. In fact, there seems to be no way to reach them by phone. After chasing them up to call me for a long time, they told me to check my voicemail and confirm a code that they had apparently left. I checked my voicemail. There was indeed one voicemail from an unknown number. The contents of the voicemail were about 10 seconds of office background noise. There was no code or any other useful information in their voicemail. I informed Slotland that they had sent no code. I asked them to resend the voicemail and that I’d be happy to confirm it. Since then I’ve been ignored and have lost patience. I’m really hoping this is a misunderstanding that can be resolved here. Thanks.

Deposit not credited

I made a deposit more than a day ago. My account has not yet been credited. .I have been told to give it one day. Its been more than a day now. I am frustrated and there is no land line to call to resolve this. Support not much help either..they just keep offering me free bonus "obviously attached with the usual wagering requirements" it almost feels like they are trying to force me to take the bonus whilst waiting for my deposit to clear. Dissapointed and ready to take steps.

Slotland Casino Did not get promised bonus

I was promised a half match bonus on my "next" deposit. The staff changed shifts & next employee refused to apply. It was not the amount that upset me but rather the principle.

Verification issue

Hello..though I am not regular player like my other friends.Last week one of my friend referred me slot land casino to play. Well, I had created a account there and received sign up bonus for play. I had played almost whole night into slot land casino and I enjoyed there. When I had reached balance $140 then I went to live chat if I could withdraw any winnings. The support staff had congratulated me for won $140 and asked me to send my verification documents. Therefore, I had send my passport scan copy and withdrawal method details. But, yesterday I got a email from slot land billing email address which mentioned below :

"Thanks for sending in the document. It has been evaluated by our fraud department as falsification and therefore cannot be accepted for verification. Your account has been suspended and the withdrawal voided."

I became totally upset after read that email and instantly replied to them that to review my request where some misunderstanding could happen between us. After that I got a reply from them to asked my correct phone number for further verifications though I had left my personal cell number while created my account there. So, beside my cell number I had sent them my friend's cell number also because I was afraid if I mis their call. After 30 minutes I got a reply from them which had stated that the cell number which I had sent them a while before has already been registered,so they had voided my winnings for breaches their T&C. But I know my friend Iftekhar is a regular player of them as he referred me slotland casino and also I had mentioned them that the number has been sent last time is belong to my friend not me,so if you could not connect with me my registered cell number then call into my friend's cell number. Is it the reason for voided my winnings? so, why they had asked me another cell number where I had registered my own cell number? If I have no more cell numbers but only one then what should I do? Is that really proves that I had breached their T&C and they can judge unfair with me? How can I prove to them that I am the real player with real and correct information of mine? Please help me...

I never received my check for 500.00 that I cashed out. It was supposedly sent 3 weeks ago.

My account suspended

Slotland casino just suspended my account, because I have informed them that we are 4 family member players under one household. Giving them this information, as i red on their terms and conditions that this is not allowed, their billing account just blocked any deposit i wished to make imediatelly after speaking with them.

Its a shame, was a really place to play, but this is unprofessional.

My winnings are gone

My problems started on Monday April 15, 2013 I had won a good amount of money on Slotland $3,329.60 to be exact. I was done playing for the day and logged off my account. Excited that I had won so much I logged back on a few hours later just to look again. And my account balance now said $0.00 I contacted customer support and they said please allow 1 business day for us to look into this. It is now April 19 and still NO one has contacted me. I have spoke to customer service many times with the same responses please allow 1 business day. On day 5 I was told they would email me in 2-4 hours. Almost 24 hours later and still no one has contacted me. It would have been nice for someone to tell me something not just leave me sitting with no explanation as to what is going on and if they are going to pay out the amount I won.

wont give my $38 dollar bonus

I was first to find Slotland on my phone via your web site. We do not have a home computer internet is on my phone. So I went and played then told my son daughter in law husband and his sister all went on my phone and also signed up so they seen a red flag I guess cause there all linked to my phone but they are. Real and tbier e emails. Belong to them. Understandably it looked bizarre but when I finally got my phone back they blocked me even from a deposit. So I explained the same to. Them. They finally unblocked me I have made 2 deposits since and they have given 2 of. The people that use my phone their 38 bonus. And the others received the key but wont accept key. I'm the only one of them all who actually made 2 deposits and they said I didn't get it.

They will lose me as a player and that sucks for us both because I have no flash on my phone and they are the only slot site I could use on my phone.
