Hello Casino Guru Team,
Thank you for your message and for sharing your perspective on this case.
We would like to reiterate that our actions were fully in line with our Terms and Conditions, which the player accepted upon registration, specifically, paragraph 10.2.7.
This limitation was enforced immediately after the wagering was completed. The fact that the player continued to play and increase their balance after the cap had been applied does not change the nature of the funds — they originated from a no-deposit bonus, and therefore any winnings beyond the allowed maximum remained subject to the stated limitation.
We respectfully disagree with the idea that once funds appear as real money, all restrictions should be considered lifted. Displaying a balance in the cashier interface as real money does not override the promotional terms tied to that balance. These terms are transparently available to all players prior to accepting any bonus.
Moreover, our platform’s mechanics ensure that the bonus cap is technically enforced. However, we rely on players to also read and understand the conditions attached to such promotions — especially when it comes to no-deposit bonuses, which by nature include strict limitations to prevent abuse.
To avoid confusion, we also state in the terms that in order to play without limitations, players must first withdraw funds received from wagering a no-deposit bonus and then make a new deposit. The player did not follow this condition.
Moreover, we would like to point out that the player already received a withdrawal of 142 NZD, which corresponds to the allowed 10x bonus winnings. This demonstrates that we acted fairly and honored the maximum winnings policy as per the terms.
Best regards,
1GO Casino!
