West Casino - Misleading bonus wagering requirements advertising


user_avatar badge
Von Pereetti
vor 8 Jahren
I joined West Casino around 1 month ago. Before registering I read their terms and conditions and there they stated "Unless, otherwise stated, with regards to deposit bonuses, the bonus and qualifying deposit must be wagered 35 times before being released into your Cash Balance".

When I claimed my second deposit bonus offer I read their bonus terms and conditions below their second deposit bonus (because there it might state OTHERWISE than it did on the terms and conditions). Below their deposit bonus offer they used to have a link, which said "* Bonus Terms and Conditions apply." (Check my first picture). After I opened that link I read their terms and conditions and found out that their rule 10. states: "10. All deposit bonuses and free spins are subject to a wagering requirement of 35x." (Check my second picture). After reading that part I realized that the bonus I used stated OTHERWISE, so the wagering requirement must be 35x bonus amount.

I would have never used their welcome package / any bonuses if I would know that their wagering requirement is 35x bonus + deposit amount. I got mislead to use their welcome bonuses.

A few days ago I tried to open that same link: "* Bonus Terms and Conditions apply.", but that link does not work anymore. It just opens a page that says "403 Forbidden" (Check my third picture)

I was playing my second deposit bonus for one hour and I decided to check my wagering requirement. At this point I realized that my wagering requirement was not 35x bonus amount. My wagering requirement was 35x deposit + bonus amount, so it was a lot more than I thought it would be (my real wagering requirement on 50% bonus was now 105x bonus amount, so it was 3 times more than I thought). Because of this my withdrawal was a lot smaller than it should have been.


I made a review about West Casino around 1 week ago. West Casino replied my answer and said this: "The terms and conditions that you mentioned are not from our website, and please only check the terms on our Casino page, and nowhere else. This is in order for you to avoid misleading information. Our terms and conditions are clear about the wagering terms and you can find there any information you are looking for."
I really do not understand why I received an answer like that? Their answer pretty much made my review irrelevant (because I am not able reply their answer), even though it is a truthful review. The link where I read their terms and conditions is/was on THEIR WEBSITE, below their bonus
offers. Why I would not trust that link -- should I doubt every single link that I open at their website? That makes ZERO sense.
I opened that link at their website = there is no reason why I would doubt the information I find on that link, and if I should doubt that information then you guys need to fix it (it is not my fault).

Good thing that finally you guys did something about this. Too bad I had already made at least two deposits before I realized that I was being mislead (also I would have made a bigger withdrawal with the rules I should have). Also shame that at first no one believed me even though I tried to explain this same thing SO MANY times at live chat (I tried to explain this scenario for hours, but no one believed). Everyone was blaming me instead of admitting the mistake. I think that trust between the customer and casino is the most important thing and this way it is really hard to gain trust.

Anyways thanks Askgamblers, because of you guys West Casino finally listened to me.

Hello PEREETTI

I hope my message finds you well.

Since you told us about the technical issue, we had to do something about it. Thank you once again!
We informed you of the terms and conditions straight away when you contacted us on chat.
And yes, you were the only one to do something about it indeed. You are right.

Congratulations for completing the wagering and withdrawing.
Sad to hear that you no longer trust us, however you know where to find us should you change your mind and decide to trust us again.

Best Regards,
Ed Blake

"Over there, you have full detailed wagering requirement information and it was always there." Yes it was always there, but since it clearly states: "Unless, otherwise stated, with regards to deposit bonuses, the bonus and qualifying deposit must be wagered 35 times before being released into your Cash Balance." And below bonus terms it stated OTHERWISE.

"Therefore, I want to thank you for that, you are the only player who got there or who told us he got there." This part is bullshit. All of my friends got there as well, I am not the only player who got there. I am the only player who decided to do something about this, since I hate misleading advertising/false advertising.

"Please only check the terms and conditions from www.westcasino.com to be sure you will always have the right information.". Okay, and do not post any links on your site that I am not supposed to open. ESPECIALLY IF THOSE LINKS STATES ANYTHING ABOUT YOUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

I have zero trust towards West Casino, since I did not receive any kind of compensation for this (I feel like this was not a mistake). West Casino made it feel like this was all my fault, since I opened a link that I was not supposed to open. It makes no sense for me to doubt a link that you guys have on your website.

Macht Probleme mit virtueller Kreditkarte

Hallo,

Ich habe bei Westcasino einen Bonus (200 Freesbins für 20 Euro ohne Umsatzbedingungen) genutzt und mit virtueller Klarna Card eingezahlt. Ich habe gewonnen und eine Auszahlung beantragt. Es kam die übliche Mail das ich mich mit Adressnachweis, Ausweis und Screenshot der Karte verifizieren muß.

Ich habe darauf hin sämtliche Dokumente per Mail zugesendet. Es kam zurück das sie noch ein Foto vom Ausweis und einen Screenshot von beiden Seiten der Kreditkarte benötigen.

Also sendete ich ein Foto vom Ausweis und schrieb dazu das ich eine virtuelle Kreditkarte benutzt habe und das es zu dieser Karte nur einen Screenshot von der Seite mit der Nummer gibt und auf diese Karte der Name nicht darauf steht weil es ja nur die eine Seite gibt.

Es kam eine Mail zurück das sie einen Kontoauszug brauche auf dem die Kartennummer darauf ist und mein Name. Ich sendete den Kontoauszug mit der Bemerkung das die Kartennummer auf dem Kontoauszug bei Klarna nie darauf ist zurück und noch einen Screenshot der Karte.

Ich schrieb noch dazu da sie ja anhand des Kontoauszuges die Zahlung zuordnen können und mein Name ja auf dem Kontoauszug steht. Es kam eine Mail zurück das sie einen Kontoauszug mit der Kartennummer und dem Name darauf brauchen und einen anderen Screenshot der Karte und das ich das ja verstehen solle und das sie so nich auszahlen.

Das Geld wurde zurück auf das Spielerkonto transferiert. Es handelt sich nun um einen Streitwert von 400 Euro.

Casino not verifying account
On 8.9.2024, I had 1329€ after wagering a bonus, I withdrew the money and started verifying my account. I then uploaded a picture of my ID card to the site on the same day. On 16.9, they sent me an email (screenshot) saying that my withdrawal has been placed back in my balance, as I had sent them a "blurry" image of my ID, and hadn't send them an official bank statement yet. I then uploaded a bank statement, and new pictures of my ID card on 17.9.

As I hadn't heard anything from them, I contacted them through live chat on 31.9, and asked what is the hold up, since the verification of the documents should take only 1-3 days, as their site says. The live chat operative told me that they "trust" that the verification team is going to contact me once they are done with the verification, nothing else.

On 1.10 I again asked what is the hold up, and told them I'd contact AskGamblers on the following friday if my account hasn't been verified and money withdrawn because my verification is being held up for no reason.

On 4.10, they sent an email (screenshot) saying that, again, the pictures of my ID card are blurry (none of the pictures were blurry, other sites had accepted them without a problem). I humored them and sent them new pictures of my ID cards for the third time. I sent the pictures on 4.10, and waited again, and as I received no response I decided to contact the customer support through email on 10.10 (screenshot), and they told me that the documents I send have to be valid and that the finance team will check it "as soon as they can".

It's been 4 days since that and I haven't heard anything from them, so I thought its time to open a complaint here, as it seems they are just using delay tactics and trying to make me play the balance away.
