Smokace Casino - Spelarens bonusvinster konfiskerades.

Hello,

I used the Smoke ACE Summer Bonus of 150% and 100 free spins, which I received through email, making a deposit of 50 Euros.

The bonus had no max cashout as indicated in the attached email.

I successfully fulfilled the bonus requirements.

After completing the requirements, I had 1200 Euros in my account.

I attempted to withdraw 1000 Euros, but this withdrawal was canceled, and my account balance was reduced to 375 Euros, which is 5 times the bonus amount.

I contacted the chat support and showed them the email about the bonus with no max cashout, but it was to no avail.

I am unaware of any error that would cause my balance to be canceled.

Thank you in advance.

Dear KevBen33,

Thank you very much for submitting your complaint. I’m sorry to hear about your negative experience with Smokace Casino.

Please allow me to ask you a few questions, so I can better understand the situation. 

• Have you confronted the casino with the information presented in the promotional email? What response have you received?
• Did you deposit 50€ or 75€ the casino informed you about in the calculation of the maximum cashout calculation?
• If there is any subsequent communication between you and the casino regarding the issue, please forward it to my email at tomas@casino.guru

I hope we will be able to help you to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you very much in advance for your reply.

Best regards,

Tomas

Hello,

I sent the email to the chat. After consulting the finance department, I was informed that only 5x the bonus amount would be paid out.

I didn't get an explanation as to why the advertising email was ignored.

I deposited 50 euros and received a 75 euro bonus and 100 free spins on magic piggy hacksaw gaming.

Hallo,

ich habe die email dem Chat zukommen lassen. Nach Rücksprache mit der Finanzabteilung wurde mir mitgeteilt das nur 5x des Bonusbetrages ausgezahlt wird.

Erklärung warum bzw. Wieso die Werbemail ignoriert wird bekam ich nicht.

ich habe 50 Euro eingezahlt und 75 Euro Bonus sowie 100 Freispiele magic piggy hacksaw gaming bekommen.

I have used bonuses several times and normally after the bonus has been used with Max Cashout the balance is immediately reduced.

There was no max cashout with this bonus.

Thanks

Ich habe schon öfters Bonus genutzt normalerweise wird nach Umsetzung des Bonus mit Max cashout das Guthaben sofort reduziert.

es gab kein max cashout bei diesem Bonus.

Danke

Thank you very much, KevBen33, for providing the necessary information. I will now transfer your complaint to my colleague Peter (peter.m@casino.guru)  who will be at your service. I wish you the best of luck and hope the problem will be resolved to your satisfaction in the near future.

Hi KevBen33,

I have looked at your case and understand the situation. Let me contact the casino and I will do my best to help. I would like to invite Smokace Casino to the conversation to participate in the resolution of this complaint.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Danke 🙏🏻

Dear Peter and KevBen33,

We will investigate this situation from our side and provide an update as soon as possible. 

Regards, 

Smokace Casino Risk Department. 

Thank you Smokace Casino team,

Looking forward to your message.

Dear KevBen33,

We have checked the information about your situation and can report the following. 

Indeed, you received an email with a deposit bonus offer which stated that the 150% + 150 freespins bonus has no maximum cashout. 

This is indeed true, there is no maximum cashout for this bonus. 

However, we would also like to inform you that the terms and conditions page was active for this deposit promotion for the duration of its validity. This page detailed the bonus terms and conditions. 

According to clause 7 of the terms and conditions of this bonus, the maximum amount that can be converted into real money after the wagering of the bonus is completed is x5 of the original bonus amount. After that, any subsequent winnings have no withdrawal restrictions. 

Thus, after the wagering requirements have been met, your bonus balance has been corrected in accordance with the bonus terms and conditions. You received 75 EUR bonus for your deposit, after wagering the maximum amount of conversion into real money was 375 EUR. 

Now you can continue playing without any withdrawal restrictions. 

Dear Peter, 

From our side the correction of the user's balance was done in accordance with the bonus terms and conditions. We also provide a screenshot of this deposit promotion and its terms and conditions. 

Regards, 

Smokace Casino Risk Department.

What you say is not correct because the credit was only cancelled when I tried to withdraw an amount of 1000 euros.

Why wasn't the balance reduced to 5x as usual after the bonus was wagered?

but I accept it and will not make any more deposits at Alta Core casinos.

Many thanks to Casino Guru

Das stimmt nicht was Sie sagen da das Guthaben erst storniert wurde als einen Betrag von 1000 Euro auszahlen wollte.

warum wurde das Guthaben nicht wie sonst auch nach umsetzen des Bonus auf 5x gekürzt?

aber ich akzeptiere das so und werde keine Einzahlungen mehr in Alta Core Casinos tätigen.

Vielen Dank an Casino Guru

Dear Smokace Casino team,

I really have a hard time finding a difference between "the max cashout" and "the maximum amount that can be released to real money from the bonus". In most cases, it means the same thing. If I found a piece of information in the bonus conditions stating "no max cashout" I would never expect any limits on my winnings. This is pretty unfortunate advertising. Was the amount at least reduced right after the bonus was wagered?

No see game history (SmokeAce)

The credit was only cancelled after the payout by customer service.

I had more than 1200 euros in real money and continued playing a bit after the bonus was implemented.

Only after I had paid out did I receive an email about an hour later saying that my payout had been cancelled.

Nein siehe Spiel Historie (SmokeAce)

das Guthaben wurde erst nach der Auszahlung durch den Kundendienst storniert.

ich hatte mehr als 1200 Euro echtgeld habe noch ein bisschen weiter gespielt nach Umsetzung des Bonus.

erst als ich ausgezahlt hatte bekam ich etwa nach 1 Stunde eine email das meine Auszahlung storniert wurde.

Dear Peter,

We use the terms "Max Cashout" and "Max Release".

In this case, Max Cashout is the amount that a player can withdraw after the bonus wagering conditions have been met and the Max Release conditions have been met.

The maximum bonus release (Max Release) is the maximum amount that can be converted into real money after all wager conditions have been met. 

For most bonuses, the maximum release amount is corrected automatically when the wager conditions are met, but in case the automatic correction has not been made, an additional check is performed. 

According to the terms and conditions of the promotion, which were stated on the site during the promotion period, the maximum bonus release is x5 of the bonus amount the player originally received. 

When the user made a withdrawal request, a check was made to see if the amount of the maximum allowable bonus release corresponded to the amount of the player's winnings. According to the results of this check was made a correction of the allowable amount of winnings, which was left to the player. The left amount of winnings in the amount of 375 euros does not have a max cashout. 

Regards, 

Smokace Casino Risk Department.

Dear Smokace Casino team,

Regarding the max cashout and max release, I don't understand what the meaning of max cashout is supposed to be after the max release is applied and the funds are transferred to real money. Why apply bonus max cash out to real money? That doesn't make much sense. Secondly, why is the max release sometimes applied automatically and sometimes it isn't? Could you, please mark the moment when the bonus wagering was finished and send the player's game history to my email address (peter.m@casino.guru)?

Dear Peter,

The additional information you requested regarding the user's situation has been sent to your email - peter.m@casino.guru

Sincerely,

Smokace Casino Risk Department.

Hi all,

We will discuss the provided data internally and get back to you.

Dear Smokace Casino team,

After internal discussion, we see no reason to withhold the player's full winnings, as the bonus was advertised as a "no max cashout bonus." The maximum release from the bonus was only applied when the player requested a withdrawal, effectively making it a max cashout. The bonus terms contradict the advertisement, so the player should receive their full payout.

Hello SmokeAce, I am aware that you have not made any profit with me so far. But that is just how it is with gambling, it could have been different.

Please reconsider your position as I only used and implemented the bonus that you offered me via email.

Thanks again to Casino Guru

Also thanks to SmokeAce for providing the data.

Hallo SmokeAce es ist mir bewusst das Sie mit mir bisher keinen Gewinn gemacht haben. Aber so ist es eben beim Glücksspiel es hätte auch Anders sein können.

Bitte überdenken Sie Ihre Haltung da ich nur den Bonus die Sie mir per Email angeboten haben genutzt habe und umgesetzt habe.

Nochmals Vielen Dank an Casino Guru

Ebenso Danke an SmokeAce für die Bereitstellung der Daten.

Dear KevBen33 and Peter.

We would like to inform you that the amount of 825.52EUR has been credited to the game account of the user KevBen33. 

The whole amount is available for withdrawal. 

We understand that the information about "no max cashout" in the advertising email is of crucial importance for the user. 

We apologize for the inconvenience. 

Regards, 

Smokace Casino Risk Department.

Thank you Smokace Casino team for reconsidering. We appreciate you looking at the issue from the player's perspective.

Dear KevBen33,

Can you confirm that the funds were credited back to your account?

Hello everyone,

Yes, the money was credited back to the account. I am still waiting for confirmation of the payout. I think that will happen in the next few days.

Many thanks in advance to the Smoke Ace team for the correction.

Hallo Zusammen,

ja das Geld wurde dem Konto wieder gutgeschrieben, ich warte noch auf die Bestätigung der Auszahlung ich denke das wird in den nächsten Tagen geschehen.

Vorab Vielen Dank an das Team von Smoke Ace für die Korrektur.
