Dazzle Spielothek

I signed up with Dazzle Casino and deposited £200. I received a £200 bonus. I read their bonus terms thoroughly and they mention that the max bet on games is 50% of bonus amount. This would be £100.

I went to roulette and played £25 stakes. After completing the wagering requirement, (and having my big win capped to £600), the casino confiscated all of my winnings, stating...

"Dear Deanna,

After reviewing your withdrawal and gameplay we have concluded that you have breached our Bonus Policy, part of our Terms & Conditions agreed upon registration.

On the 23/06/2020 you have deposited the amount of £200 and received the bonus of £200, which was subjected to our Bonus policy.

After checking your bonus bets, it has been concluded that you have played all your bonus on one single game, European Roulette, which is considered ‘irregular gameplay’, as per the Terms of use with which you have agreed.

As such, we have revoked winnings acquired whilst in breach with our Terms and conditions and returned your participation fee
Please find bellow for your convenience excerpt from our Terms and condition:"

The casino doesn't have any rules against playing all of my bonus on one game. They only have a rule against playing over 50% of the bonus balance in one spin/game/round.

If the casino intended to mean that the total bets in any one game couldn't ever surpass 50% of the bonus amount, i.e. £100, then in that case, the customer would be expected to have to play 100 separate games in order to fulfill the £10,000 wagering requirement. No customer would ever be expected to assume that the rule means 'You can only bet up to 50% of the bonus amount in total, on any one game'.

They would rightfully interpret it, as I have, to mean, you can bet up to 50% of your bonus amount on any one spin.

Dazzle casino have improperly applied this term as a way of confiscating my winnings, and I believe they should pay all my winnings out.

The amount outstanding is £400, as the company have refunded my deposit of £200.

I have attached the email from Dazzle Casino

Hi, I have been playing with the aforementioned casino and was successful and won £15,000. All winnings are from non bonus money as I have deposited and not taken any bonuses beyond the Welcome bonus of £100. When playing I was asked to verify my account by sending in documents to prove my identity. I duly did and my account was verified. I continued to play until I won the above amount. Aware of the restrictions in the withdrawal policy on Tuesday 30th May I requested £3000 be paid to my bank card. The following day I was sent an email by security asking to send an image of myself holding my passport to "Fully" verify my account. I responded to this and I have heard nothing more from Security. The original T & C's said the request should take no longer than 3 business days which expired on Friday however as of yesterday this has changed to 5 business days with updated T&C's. Today is the 5th business day as Monday was a bank holiday in Cyprus. I have spoken to online chat, most of whom are very accommodating considering the lack of help they can provide, on numerous occasions who assure me that my issue is being dealt with and will be resolved but will not give me a time frame. I have no intentions of gambling the money and will wait as long as it takes I just wanted to see if you can help to speed up the process. Thanks. DJ.

Submitted a withdrawal on 12th February. Not my first, been part of the site for a year. Casino withdrawal policy is 3 working days for withdrawal to be approved. We are now on working day number 5 and the live chat help cannot give me an exact answer or a reason for the delay. Simply, "I can see this is due in 2 working days." I doubt this as I was told it was going to be processed by 17/02 when I last asked. Submitted this compliant due to time taken and lack of clarity from the site.

Dear Ask Gamblers, I joined Dazzle Casino on Friday 19th February. Made a £500 deposit which they gave me £200 bonus. I did not ask for the bonus but blamed myself for not reading T's and C's so embarked on wagering requirements of £10,000. I completed this and made a withdrawal of £2,500. I had no communication until Tuesday 23rd telling me to cancel withdrawal and make two separate ones of £1,500 and £1,000 I also received a call from a 'Michael' VIP Manager apologizing for confusion but saying he had a meeting with Directors the following day and everything would be resolved by Wednesday and he would personally call me. This never happened and it has led me to go on their live chat and Michael seems to have 'vanished'...apparently off until Sunday....strange he never told me that. Below I have copied you the last three chat logs but I am now at my wits end with panic as I have a pending request of £3,000 plus over £3,000 still in my account which they say has to stay there because of maximum £3,000 withdrawal a month. It all seems rather scary, what do you know about the validity of this casino and can you help/advise? Yours Sincerely M******* The following is a record of your online chat.
