Greetings all,
Thanks to both parties for replies and additional details, and I am sorry for the delay.
Dear Asino Casino Team,
Thank you for the reconsideration and the update. We appreciate your approach and willingness to cooperate in resolving the matter.
However, I would only like to add that although you mentioned your casino is fully licensed and operates strictly in accordance with the established Terms & Conditions, which players agree to upon registration, and that these rules are in place to ensure fair and secure gameplay for all users, it is not completely fair and alright to confiscate entire users' winnings due to a single/one-time breach (likely unintentional), and in such cases, online casinos should definitely investigate the situations and circumstances in more detail, especially regarding a possible breach/abuse or any unfair advantage users could gain. Such rules should not serve as a tool to confiscate players' winnings at all costs. That is one of the domains of more reputable and fair casinos.
It is only a recommendation, for the future or possibly other complaints like this one, and I am writing this in accordance with our internal policy and the Fair Gambling Codex - if it is clear or very likely a user breached the maximum bet amount once (maybe a few times, depending on a particular situation), and it was unintentional or that they even did not gain any unfair advantage by doing that (did not abuse it this way intentionally or even lost such a bet), we do not agree with confiscation of all winnings. Also, even if a player wins from such a bet exceeding the maximum bet amount with an active bonus, if it was unintentional, without the purpose of abusing the casino's system or settings/restrictions, probably confiscation of the winnings won in such a bet would be acceptable. It would rather meet standards for fair and secure gameplay for all users.
In an ideal world, online casinos would enforce maximum bet amounts on their side, so it would not be possible to breach them with active bonuses. However, of course, although there are casinos like that, we understand the situation and industry standards, which we would not like to go against, and we completely understand what it means when players do/abuse it intentionally, with ulterior motives. Therefore, we accept maximum bet amounts and their application in online casinos.
Dear Taii,
From now on, I will assist you with the case. However, based on the previous communication above, only a few questions remain.
A significant time has passed since the casino's last response, without you commenting on the matter.
Can you please confirm the casino returned your winnings in full? If so, can I consider the matter sorted out, or is there anything else we could help you with?
Thank you. Looking forward to hearing from you.
