The player from South Africa had had her winnings from free spins at Boo Casino cancelled due to betting more than 10% of the bonus credited. She had claimed that the use of free spins was the same as previous times, when she had successfully withdrawn winnings. We had provided her with the casino's bonus terms and requested her game history for further investigation. However, due to the player's lack of response to our messages and questions, we had been unable to proceed with the investigation or provide potential solutions. The complaint had therefore been rejected, but could be reopened if the player decided to resume communication.
A few months ago I received free spin from Boo Casino and managed to win R700 which was successfully deposited into my account after I requested a withdrawal.So in the early hours of 21/11/2023 I won using free spin and requested a withdrawal
of R4,500.
I just received an email from Boo
Casino stating that "Dear Masego,
On review of your withdrawal request, we see that a number of bets were placed that were greater than 10% of the bonus credited to your account. According to the Bonus Terms and Conditions, this is not allowed.
We have therefore cancelled your withdrawal request, and voided the winnings.
We do apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment, and we invite you to continue playing on our site.
Should you have any questions please reply to this email or contact our customer support via live chat on our site."
It doesn’t make sense because last time I used their free spins exactly the way I used them now yet this time they have rejected my withdrawal.
Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about the issue and understand your frustration. I carefully checked the Bonus Terms on the website, and this is what I found (here):
The following wagering activities are not allowed until the wagering requirements of this bonus have been completed:
1. The use of bonus funds purely to progress through the bonus stages of games.
2. Equal, zero or low margin betting
3. Betting more than €4.00 per spin or 10% of the received bonus amount (the smaller of the two)
4. Betting on non-allowed games (Please see "Non-Allowed Games" for list of non-allowed games).
5. Using a ‘feature buy’ or Buy Pass function within a game.
If, on review of your wagering activities, it is found that you have performed one of the above, your winnings will be removed.
We would like to see casinos implementing systems that would prevent players from placing higher than allowed bets, but, unfortunately, this is not a standard practice yet.
Please do not hesitate to forward your game history in Excel format along with any relevant communication to petronela.k@casino.guru if you feel that you’ve been accused mistakenly.
Can you provide details on the specific bonus you activated and utilized?
I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue and receive your winnings as soon as possible. Looking forward to hearing from you.
We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.
