VIPs Casino - Forfeited winnings

Ruling

Player's Complaint

I won 12800 € on 7.12.2020. I had already received cashback 143 € previous week's losses.

The Casino refused to pay my winnings and claiming that I had used the bonus money to win.

I had used the real money in the account which was the cashback from the previous week’s losses. This did not include any wagering requirements but was immediately withdrawable money. According to the casino rules, you can only win 100 € with the bonus without a deposit. In my opinion cashback and normal bonus are not the same, and therefore it doesn't make any sense to confiscate my winnings and pay only 100 € .

This is from their website:

OUR CASHBACK

The most important thing for VIPs Casino is to be a more honest and transparent casino, especially when it comes to how we reward our customers. Most online casino players know that bonuses are usually of no real value due to complicated conditions such as wagering demands and restrictions on how much you can win.

Thats is why VIPs Casino have dropped traditional bonuses. Instead we give our customers real money without any wagering demands or other hidden conditions.

VIPs Casino pay back up to 20% of your weekly loss in cash every Monday. We call this Cashback. The Cashback is calculated on your weekly loss by taking your bets minus your wins. The advantage for you is a much more logical reward approach and that you are free to use the money however you want.
