Hello.
On Apr-3, I deposited $26.99 and redeemed $26.99 bonus.
I completed the wagering requirements (Screenshot 1) and requested two cashouts - $1.000 and $200.
Today, Apr-4, I got an email saying my withdrawal requests have been declined.
I immediately contacted Live Support and chat agent Matilda told me that my winnings have been forfeited because I claimed multiple 100% deposit bonuses without any other deposit in between.
When I deposited, I didn't get any warning of that rule; on the contrary - they gladly accepted all of my deposits (Feb-2, Feb-20, Mar-8, Apr-3; Screenshot 2) with which I claimed 100% bonuses. In other words, you can claim several 100% bonuses in a row, although you can't win anything with them.
Even chat agent Matilda said: "Our players are free to claim several 100% bonus deposits in a row Kristijan".
Now I got an email saying:
"Please be kindly informed your withdrawal was declined and your winnings forfeited as we have noticed some irregular bonus used on your account recently, we have put the original deposit back in your account, meanwhile your account is currently under review, time for our team to review your bonus situation. "
I'm really sad and confused at the same time.
I'm a verified member and have really liked Casino Ventura. On their website they say they are safe & fair - I really hope they will prove it by resolving my case.
Thank you in advance.

Dear Sarah,
thank you for taking your time to read my complaint.
I appreciate your answer and explanations, but still can't accept them as well as limitations imposed by the last T&C update.
Until recently, you were a great casino and I had lots of fun with you, but now I don't feel safe and comfortable anymore to continue playing with you.
I will request account closure via email.
Thank you again and wish you all the best.

Dear Kristijan, thank you for your reply.
You're definitely not a robot to us, and I'm sorry you feel treated that way. I believe you when you say that you did not intended to break the T&C, and that is why we returned your deposit back to your balance. You are still welcome to play and withdraw in our casino, and to use all our bonuses.
All players have received the popup during their first login after the 1st of March, it was impossible to continue without reading and accepting the terms.
It's always possible to choose if and which bonus you want to claim. We offer a 100% loyalty bonus every 5th, 10th, 15th etc. deposit, which has a wagering requirement of 20 x bonus + deposit. We also offer a 100% reload bonus on Monday, this bonus has a wagering of 50 x bonus. And as you said, we offer 30%, 50% and 60% on all other deposits, also with the wagering requirement of 20 x bonus + deposit.
I understand your disappointment. You're a valued player who (unintentionally) broke the rules. This was the warning you wanted. Your deposit was placed back on your balance, and are free to play, withdraw and use all our bonuses, without breaking the terms naturally.
Yours,
Sarah

Hello again and thank you for your answer, Sarah.
When I signed up, I read T&C carefully, but do not remember being notified via pop-up or email about T&C change. Otherwise, I would've definitely reviewed them.
Furthermore, when claiming my last 100% bonus, I could've been warned that I was not allowed to claim it.
I still think it is not fair that we can't choose which bonuses we will claim, especially considering the fact that 100% bonuses have higher wagering requirements (50x) compared to others.
I also don't consider myself a bonus abuser, as I don't play that frequently, and have claimed 30%, 60% and 50% bonuses too in the past.
Besides confiscating winnings from my favorite slot, what hurts me more is the feeling that I've been treated like a robot, who's not allowed to make a single mistake (even if not aware of making it), and not like a human.
I hope that other players won't find themselves in a situation like this, although I just saw an other complaint very similar to mine.
