Dear andandjonnyx,
Thank you for your continued feedback.
The wagering requirement for deposit match bonuses on our platform has always applied to the combined total of the deposit + bonus, not the bonus alone. This is clearly stated in our Terms & Conditions and is fully reflected in how our system functions.
The line you quoted — "If a bonus does not include a real money contribution..." — is entirely correct and applies specifically to no deposit bonuses or free spin winnings, where no real money is involved. This is standard industry practice and does not contradict the terms of our deposit bonuses.
The bonus you activated was a deposit bonus, which, as you yourself mentioned, "involves both real and bonus money". Therefore, it does include a real money contribution, meaning the wagering requirement logically applies to both the deposit and the bonus amount — as our terms clearly state.
Regarding our initial response: we’ve intentionally left it visible to demonstrate transparency, not deleting or editing it. Our assumption at the time was that the bonus referenced was a no deposit bonus, as we often promote free spin offers through referral sites like Casino Guru. That was our mistake — which we promptly corrected by explaining the difference between no deposit bonuses and deposit match bonuses. Its important to mention that you were misinformed prior to our mistake, our misinterpretation of the situation described is not what mislead you in the first place.
You also said --- "Prior to that, the description of the first deposit bonus states as a special note that the wagering requirement is 25 times the bonus and that the deposit amount is not included in the bonus. In this case, it is normal to assume that the special note takes precedence." This is simply not true. Nowhere on our site does it state that the wagering requirement is 25x the bonus only or that the deposit amount is excluded.
You’ve continued to accuse us of misrepresentation, yet have not provided a single reference from our website claiming that the wagering applies to bonus money only. The confusion appears to come solely from Casino Gurus bonus explanation, which we do not control. It’s simply not reasonable to hold us responsible for their misinterpretations.
To summarize:
You canceled your bonus — a right all players have.
You withdrew your full balance, including profit, without any fees or restrictions.
Despite this, you are still requesting a penalty for something that was not caused by us and in a situation where you experienced no financial loss. As mentioned, we have already contacted Casino Guru to request that they update their explanation to prevent future confusion.
We understand that our position may not align with your personal interpretation; however, our Terms & Conditions are clear, and by creating an account, you agreed to and acknowledged them. If you require any further clarification, please feel free to contact our support team at [email protected] — otherwise, we consider this matter resolved.
That said, we truly appreciate customers like you who take the time to raise concerns and help us maintain transparency and fairness. Your feedback is genuinely valued. Customers like you help strengthen the community, especially in an industry where untrustworthy operators do exist — and we take pride in not being one of them. Hopefully, this has helped clear up the misunderstanding and will prevent similar cases in the future.
Best regards,
The Hit Me Team
