Olen kohdannut eritt?in turhauttavan tilanteen Instaspin Casinolla. Talletin 400 € ja sain 200 € bonuksen. Pelasin satoja kierroksia kolikkopeleiss?. Onnekas olin ja saldoni oli noussut 2767,30 €:oon.
Halusin tiet??, kuinka paljon lis?? minun piti panostaa bonuksen muuttamiseksi rahaksi. Niinp? avasin bonusosion tilill?ni. Kuten kuvakaappauksesta n?kyy, siin? luki, ettei aktiivisia bonuksia ollut. Mutta samaan aikaan kassalla luki, ett? suurin osa saldostani oli edelleen bonusvaroja. Olin h?mmentynyt ristiriidan vuoksi. Joten avasin live-chatin yritt??kseni ymm?rt??. T?st? ongelmat alkoivat.
Live-chatissa luvattiin, ett? he yritt?v?t korjata ongelman. Saldoni oli 2767,30 €, sitten live-chatissa luki "Tarkista nyt uudelleen :)". Kun tarkistin saldoni, huomasin, ett? se oli pudonnut 234,85 €:oon. Kaikki voittoni oli siis poistettu. Osoitin t?st? heti tukitiimille, joka vastasi vain: "Se oli osa bonuskierr?tyst?". Vastasin, ett? eiv?t, ne olivat itse asiassa voittojani ja kysyin uudelleen, miksi ne oli poistettu. Tukitiimi sanoi, ett? asia vied??n eteenp?in. Kun ilmaisin huoleni tapahtuneesta, minulle sanottiin vain: "Jos sinulla on muita huolenaiheita, ota rohkeasti yhteytt?. Muuten, tarkista my?s peli Big Bass Bonanza ilmaispy?r?ytyksiesi varalta"! T?m? oli ep?todellista, mutta ajattelin odottaa hetken ja katsoa, ??mihin edistyminen johtaa.
Tunnin tai parin kuluttua kirjauduin takaisin tililleni ja n?in, ett? saldoni oli nyt 434,85 €. Tuelta l?hetettiin seuraava viesti: "Olemme tutkineet asiaa tarkemmin ja pyyd?mme teit? etuk?teen vilpitt?m?sti anteeksi, koska bonus peruutettiin vahingossa ongelman korjaamisen yhteydess?. Olemme lis?nneet tilillesi 200 €:n hyv?ntahtoisuusbonuksen."
Kerroin tuelle, etten pit?nyt hyv?ksytt?v?n? sit?, ett? he olivat vahingossa poistaneet noin 2500 euron voittosumman ja korvanneet sen 200 euron bonuksella. Tuki pyysi uudelleen anteeksi ja sanoi itse asiassa: "Kyll?, se oli t?ysin minun vikani". Tuki lis?si sitten, ett? ilmeisesti en ollut itse asiassa pelannut bonusta loppuun. "Bonuksessa oli viel? noin 1000 euroa kierr?tett?v?n?", h?n sanoi. Haluan kiinnitt?? huomionne uudelleen kuvakaappaukseen, jossa n?kyy bonusosio, jossa lukee "Aktiivisia bonuksia ei ole". Mutta okei, bonusosiossa on ilmeisesti ongelma, ja minun piti silti panostaa 1000 euroa muuntaakseni bonuksen oikeaksi rahaksi. Tuki jatkoi sitten sanomalla, ett? koska bonusta ei ollut kierr?tetty kokonaan, olisin saattanut menett?? 2500 euron voittoni j?ljell? olevan 1000 euron kierr?tysvaatimusten aikana joka tapauksessa! Joten Instaspinin mielest? 200 euron hyv?n tahdon bonuksen antaminen minulle ja sen pelaaminen alusta t?ydell? kierr?tysvaatimuksella on reilua, koska olisin saattanut joka tapauksessa menett?? suuren voittoni. Minulla oli 2767,30 € ennen kuin tuki painoi v??r?? nappia ja vahingossa poisti saldoni. Joten vaikka olisin h?vinnyt kaikki j?ljell? olevat 1000 € panokset, minulla olisi ollut mahdollisuus pit?? suuri osa voitoistani. T?t? ei tietenk??n koskaan kuitattu. Sanoin, ett? mielest?ni oikea ratkaisu heid?n virheeseens? oli hyvin ilmeinen. Pyysin tukea palauttamaan koko poistamansa saldon. Lis?sin my?s, ett? vaikka heid?n bonusosionsa on harhaanjohtava ja sanoin, ettei bonusta ole, panostaisin mielell?ni 1000 €, jonka he v?ittiv?t olevan viel? pelattavissa. Tuki kielt?ytyi typer?sti. "Martin Instaspinista: Olisin kiitollinen, jos voisitte panostaa annetun bonuksen, ja sen j?lkeen voimme my?s tarkistaa, mit? muuta t?ss? tapauksessa voidaan tehd?".
Miksi Instaspin pit?? oikeudenmukaisena peruuttaa voittoni, palauttaa vain 234 euroa alkuper?isest? 400 euron talletuksestani ja lis?t? 200 euron bonus kierr?tysvaatimuksella? Voittoni ei ole ainoastaan ??peruutettu, vaan nyt minun on otettava riski ja todenn?k?isesti h?vitt?v? alkuper?inen talletukseni? Miss? universumissa t?m? on "hyv?n tahdon ele"? L?hetin Instaspinille s?hk?postia toivoen, ett? joku toinen henkil?kuntaan kuuluva tarkastelisi tilannetta. Joku toinen kuitenkin tarkasteli asiaa ja l?hetti vastauksen, jossa sanottiin, ett? kun bonus on peruutettu, sit? ei voida lis?t? uudelleen. T?ss? s?hk?postissa ei miss??n vaiheessa vahvistettu, ett? bonus peruutettiin vain siksi, ett? huonosti koulutettu tukiagentti oli tehnyt virheen, jonka h?n jopa my?nsi.
Mielest?ni on vain yksi ratkaisu. Instaspinin pit?isi palauttaa saldoni 2767,3 euroon, eli tasolle ennen heid?n virhett??n. Jos he tekisiv?t niin, panostaisin mielell?ni ne 1000 euroa, jotka heid?n mukaansa ovat viel? pelattavissa. On tietysti naurettavaa, ett? kasino poistaisi vahingossa noin 2500 euroa pelaajan saldosta ja korvaisi sen 200 euron kupongilla my?nnetty??n, ett? virhe oli heid?n. Tilanne on niin outo, ett? toivon, ett? kyseess? on vain v??rink?sitys, joka voidaan ratkaista. Ehk? ensimm?isell? asiakaspalvelijalla ei ollut valtuuksia korjata virhett??n ja ehk? tuen s?hk?postin oli kirjoittanut joku, joka ei tiennyt, ett? heid?n oma henkil?kuntansa oli vahingossa peruuttanut bonukseni. Mutta en p??ssyt mihink??n yritt?ess?ni selitt?? t?t? tuelle, mink? vuoksi otan asian esille t??ll?.
I have encountered a very frustratating situation at Instaspin Casino. I deposited €400 and received a bonus of €200. I wagered for hundreds of rounds on slots. I got lucky and my balance was up to €2767.30.
I wanted to know how much more betting I had to do to convert the bonus to cash. So I opened the bonuses section on my account. As you can see from the screenshot it said that there were no active bonuses. But at the same time in the cashier, it said that most of my balance was still bonus funds. I was confused because of the contradiction. So I opened live chat to try and understand. This is when the problems began.
Live chat said they would try to fix the issue. My balance was at €2767.30 then live chat wrote "Please check now again :)" . When I checked I saw that my balance had dropped to €234.85. So all my winnings had been deleted. I immediately pointed this out to the support agent who just answered "That was part of the bonus wagering". I replied that no, those were actually my winnings and asked again why they had been deleted. Support said that the matter would be escalated. When I expressed concern at what has happened I was just told "If you have any other concerns feel free to reach out. By the way also check the game Big Bass Bonanza for your freespins"! This was surreal but I thought I’d wait a while and see what the escalation resulted in.
An hour or two later I logged back into the account and saw that my balance was now €434.85. The following message was sent from support: "We've investigated further and, receive our sincere apology in advance since the bonus was cancelled by mistake when attempting a fix to the issue. We've added a goodwill bonus to your account in the amount of 200€."
I told support that I didn’t find it acceptable that they had accidentally deleted around €2500 in winnings and replaced them with a €200 bonus. Support apologized again and actually said "Yes, that was totally my fault". Support then added that apparently I had not actually completed playing the bonus. "There was still about 1k needed to be wagered in the bonus" he said. I should draw your attention again to the screenshot which shows the bonus section where it said "There are no active bonuses". But fine, there is obviously a problem with the bonuses section and I still had to bet €1000 to convert the bonus to real money. Support then went onto say that since the bonus wasn’t fully wagered I might have gone on to lose my €2500 in winnings during the remaining €1000 wagering anyway! So in Instaspin’s mind giving me a €200 goodwill bonus and allowing me to play it from scratch with full wagering is fair because I might have lost my big win anyway. I had €2767.30 before support pressed the wrong button and accidentally deleted my balance. So even if I had lost every bet of the remaining €1000 wagering I would have had the option to keep a lot of my winnings. Of course this was never acknowledged. I said that I thought the right solution to their mistake was very obvious. I asked support to reinstate the full balance that they deleted. I also added that even though their bonus section is misleading and said there is no bonus that I would be very happy to wager the €1000 they claimed was still left to be played. Support blankly refused. "Martin from Instaspin: I would appreciate it if you could wager the given bonus, and after that, we can also check what else can be done in this case".
Why does Instaspin think it is fair to cancel my win, return only €234 of my initial €400 deposit and add an extra €200 bonus with reset bonus wagering? Not only is my win cancelled but now I have to risk and likely lose my initial deposit also? In what universe is this a "goodwill gesture"? I emailed Instaspin hoping that a different member of staff might take a look at the situation. Someone else did look and emailed a reply saying that once the bonus is cancelled it cannot be added again. At no point did this email acknowledge that the bonus was only cancelled because a poorly trained support agent had made a mistake that he even admitted to.
I think that there is only one solution. Instaspin should resinstate my balance to €2767.3 which is what it was before their mistake. If they did that I would be happy to wager the €1000 that they say remains to be played. Obviously it's ridiculous that a casino would accidentally delete around €2500 from a player’s balance and replace it with a €200 coupon after admitting that the mistake was theirs. The situation is so strange I hope it might just a misunderstanding that can be resolved. Maybe the first agent didn't have the power to resolve his mistake and maybe support's email was written by someone who wasn’t aware that it was their own staff who had accidentally cancelled my bonus. But I wasn’t getting anywhere trying to explain this to support which is why I bring it up here.
