I am filing a complaint regarding the removal of 716.35 from my Slots of Vegas account after receiving a weekly cashback promotion for 5415. The promotion I received clearly stated that cashback had a 40x playthrough requirement on Slots and Keno and a 60x playthrough requirement on Table Games and a maximum cashout limit of 1000.
I completed the required playthrough and my balance reached approximately 824.69. After I completed the playthrough the casino removed 716.35 from my balance and left approximately 10834 as my withdrawable balance.
Slots of Vegas later told me that the weekly cashback actually has a 2x maximum cashout and that 54.15 multiplied by 2 equals approximately 108.30. They called the removal a coupon reversal or bonus balance conversion.
I dispute this because the specific promotion that was sent directly to me clearly stated a maximum cashout of 1000. I did not receive a promotion stating that my maximum cashout would be limited to 2 times my cashback.
Several Slots of Vegas representatives acknowledged that the 1000 wording was actually included in the promotion I received. They told me that it was a mistake or typo made by their marketing department.
I was then told that management would review my complaint. After waiting patiently I was informed that the marketing team decided that they would not honor the 1000 amount because it was a mistake.
I believe this issue should be independently reviewed because I relied on the actual promotion that Slots of Vegas sent to me. The promotion specifically stated a 1000 maximum cashout and my balance was below 1000 when the money was removed.
I also want to point out that after I complained about the promotion the wording displayed on my account was changed to show the 2x maximum cashout language. I have retained the original promotion showing the 1000 maximum cashout.
I also did not knowingly gamble away the 716.35 after it was removed. I did not realize that the money had been removed from my balance while I was playing. I continued playing the balance that was displayed to me and only realized what had happened after the money was gone.
I am asking for an independent review of the original promotion that was sent to me the terms that applied when the cashback was issued the 716.35 balance adjustment and the statements made by Slots of Vegas representatives acknowledging that the 1000 maximum cashout appeared in my promotion.
I am requesting that the 716.35 removed from my account be restored because I played under a promotion that specifically advertised a 1000 maximum cashout and I relied on the terms that were actually presented to me.
I can provide the original promotional email screenshots account information and the complete live chat conversations with Slots of Vegas.
Dear all,
Following a careful review and consideration of all the information, details and/or proof presented by the parties during the complaint process, the AskGamblers Complaint Team reached the conclusion that Slots of Vegas Casino management acted in accordance with their Terms and Conditions.
Based on the abovementioned information, the AskGamblers Complaint Team considers this case resolved and it is now officially closed. While we understand this might not be the outcome expected by the complainant, we would like to remind you that, in case of a disagreement with our decision, further assistance on the matter could be requested from the relevant regulatory body and/or appointed ADR entity.
First, the casino is relying on Section 6.4 of its Terms and Conditions and says that this determines my maximum withdrawal. However, the Weekly Cashback section itself states that the rules apply unless specifically stated otherwise. My promotion specifically stated otherwise by clearly advertising a maximum cashout of $1,000.
Second, the casino is now saying that the $1,000 amount shown in the promotion does not mean I was entitled to that amount because of the general Terms. If that is their position, I would like them to explain the purpose of specifically advertising a $1,000 maximum cashout on my promotion.
The promotion did not say that $1,000 was only available under some other circumstance. It specifically stated that my cashback came with a maximum cashout limit of $1,000.
Most importantly, if the Weekly Cashback Terms do not actually provide a $1,000 maximum cashout, then who exactly is entitled to the $1,000 maximum cashout that Slots of Vegas advertised? Why would that amount be specifically displayed in a Weekly Cashback promotion if it does not apply to the customer receiving that promotion?
I also want to point out that the casino previously admitted to me that the $1,000 wording in my promotion was a mistake made by its marketing team. Therefore, this was not a misunderstanding on my part. I relied on a specific term that the casino itself placed in the promotion and sent directly to me.
I am not disputing that the casino has a general 2X or other cashback limitation in its Terms. My dispute is that the specific promotion I received stated a different maximum cashout, and the casino's own Terms contain language addressing situations where something is specifically stated otherwise.

> Finally, I did not knowingly play away the $716.35 after it was removed. I did not realize the system had removed the money while I was playing. I continued playing the balance that was displayed to me and only discovered the adjustment after the balance was gone.
I respectfully ask AskGamblers to consider whether it is reasonable for a casino to advertise a specific $1,000 maximum cashout, admit that the $1,000 wording appeared in the customer's promotion, later characterize it as a marketing mistake, and then remove $716.35 from the customer's balance based on a different maximum that was not stated in the promotion the customer received.
I am requesting that the $716.35 be restored and that the original promotion be honored.
I've reviewed your account and what you were told by our agent was accurate and this is clearly written into our Terms and Conditions:
6.4 Weekly Cashback
40X playthrough for Slots, Keno, Bingo, Board Games, Plinko, and Scratch Cards (60X playthrough for Table Games and Video Poker).
Cannot be used for playing in “Not Allowed Games.”
1X maximum allowed withdrawal (minimum $100 USD).
Monthly Cashback amount is considered cashable and will not be removed from the amount of your withdrawal request.
--
If you look at the promo you've received, it states that the maximum withdrawal amount is $1000--this does not mean you are entitled to this amount, according to our terms and conditions.
After our system automatically withdrew the overage that you would not have been entitled to, unfortunately, you played the remaining balance down to zero. As a result, there are no winnings to be paid to you.
I apologize for the disappointment with this,
Tawni
