I joined Swiss casino a few days ago, and went to deposit £200, then someone popped up on chat asking me how much I was going to deposit. They then offered me a £400 bonus if I was deposit £300, so i agreed and started to play. Within 2 days I got my account up to £13,000 playing roulette, and was so happy as I've recently just lost a lot of money. I then get a message to say I can't receive my money as i had violated the bonus terms.

When the person popped up on my chat, it was never said to me that roulette was a restricted game, and that my winnings would be void. If they had told me that I would never have agreed as all I play is roulette.

I have complained to the manager and his response is that the terms are on the website, and that i was sent an email explaining. The bonus went into my account without me Ever being told that there was restrictions from accepting the bonus from the person in the pop up chat.

Any help is Much appreciated, I feel empty with what they have done to me.

Kind regards,

Adam

S-Casino stole my 2700£
I got 10 £ of no deposit bonus and wagered it 99x in compliance with terms and conditions, then I had 550 £ in my account. For withdrawing of more than 500£ I needed to deposit 100 £. So I deposited 100 £. After this I got the first deposit bonus and wagered it, so I played slots and won 2700 £. When I withdrew some of my winnings, the casino wanted my documents, and I sent it. They accepted my bill, but requested the back page of my ID, so I sent it too. The casino accepted it and said that they’ll send my money in 4 days. When the 4d day came, they requested my photo with holding my ID document in my hand. Just before sending those photos the casino closed my account and didnt want to send my money. Downright they’re kidding me and seized my 2700 £. Also I want to remark that I have just one account in Swiss casino and didnt abuse any terms and conditions.

Swiss casino uses term as 'spirit of the bonus' to not pay player

Best Team Askgamblers.

This is my story at Swiss Casino:

I claimed a 300% bonus at Swiss Casino (100+300 bonus). I played some blackjack, (single hand) obviously, because playing with multihand would be a violation of their terms. Anyway, i played blackjack (which has a restriction of a max bet of 100 euros).... I made a reasonalbe profit, wagered on table poker and slots. Emailed Swiss casino asking whether i have fulfilled all wagering requirements. They say yes and than i made a withdrawal request. Sended in the documents to verify my account. Everything gets verified untill they deny to pay me, because i have apparently violated their terms.

This is what they emailed:

11.6 Your use of any real money bonuses is subject to Our review for irregular playing patterns. To ensure fair gaming, We consider low margin, equal, zero bets or hedge betting to be irregular gaming for the use of bonuses. Further examples of irregular playing patterns also include, but are not limited to:

(i) placing single or multiple bets on any single game that sums over the value of seventy percent or more of the bonus credited with the intention of clearing the bonus until the release requirements have been met;

(ii) if We suspect you have attempted to use a bonus contrary to the spirit of the Promotional offering;

(iii) if We suspect that you have sought to deviously profit from a bonus offered by Us in good faith (for example, the acceptance of a bonus, wagering the minimum amount and immediately withdrawing the funds. In the event that we deem that an irregular playing pattern has taken place, We reserve the right to prevent you from cashing out Account funds and/or withhold any of Your winnings derived from Your use of the bonus.”

ok... commenting on their terms (i), apparently they have sent me a screenshot of hands that i played at blackjack. Apparently i have played blackjack placing even up to 200 euros. The reason for that is either i splitted or did a insurance. And the 70% rule of them when applied to me is: 210 euros (70% of 300 euro bonus).

term (ii)... the spirit of their use...that can be interpreted so broadly that in any event if a player wins, than all their money can get confiscated. So in my opinion a bogus term!

term (iii)... Every player that plays at a casino and get a bonus is always trying to gamble and hope to get some profit out of it. Why else play at casino? I mean, it is not like very exciting to lose money everytime if you play at a casino. Further more. At playtech (in this case Swiss casino) there is no way that you can check how much you have wagered. So i honestly do not believe, that i have exactly wagered precisely their WR and than made a withdrawal. As mentioned, i played (a lot), don't ask me how much... emailed them asking whether i have fulfilled all wageringrequirments. They say in that email: yes you have wagered everything and it is okay to make a withdrawal.

So actually when they email this, they actually expect that you don't make a withdrawal and lose all your money or what? Anyway, I had a total pending withdrawal of 1.1k, but they only returned my deposit.

Thanks for reading!
