ChalkWins Casino - Η ανάληψη του παίκτη καθυστέρησε.

We would like to ask the casino to reply to this complaint. We are extending the timer by 7 days. If the casino fails to respond in the set time frame, we will close the complaint as ‘unresolved’ which may negatively affect its rating.

Dear Allu,

I apologise for a bit delayed response, but the needed information and evidence were available to us only recently to understand the situation.

Upon careful examination of all the information and evidence, it appears that the situation differs somewhat from your earlier description.

You mentioned:

I made a deposit of 25 euros to the casino on 27.12.2024 and selected the bonus 130% deposit bonus + 300 free spins. I played the deposit bonus and lost my own balance and my bonus balance and did not play free spins. After this, I made deposits for a total of 250 euros without a bonus and I had made sure that I did not have an active bonus or bonus money when I made deposits. I managed to win 400 euros and made a withdrawal request. On 28.12 I decided to play the free spins and started to roll over the winnings. after playing for a while I decided that I didn't want to play with the bonus because the highest withdrawal amount was 100 euros with free spins, so I had read the conditions carefully. So I canceled the bonuses and played my balance to 0 euros and my bonus balance to 0 euros and there was no active bonus in my account.

There was still an active bonus in the form of free spins. It is rather unusual that you cancelled and reactivated the free spins on 28.12 through the whole day a total of 20 times. You have either received or claimed some winnings from these free spins, which resulted in your balance containing mixed funds. Additionally, since you cancelled the prior €400 withdrawal the next day (29.12), the withdrawal process was not fully completed, indicating that this €400 was still regarded as stemming from a bonus or maybe more importantly to mention, the bonus rules were still in place. Your balance during the whole day on 28.12. never really was zero. It was almost zero (€0.09 to be precise) when you requested the €400 withdrawal on 28.12., but you had the free spins active, and you played the free spins at this time, where you managed to win from them, so the bonus rules from the Bonus 2nd Deposit Bonus 130%" + 300FS were still in place basically the entire time. Once your balance was about €50 (from the winnings from the FS) you have played in various slot games and later moved to play the live roulette. Once your balance dropped to €0.15 you canceled the €400 withdrawal on 29.12. and continued to play the live roulette game where you later gained the disputed winnings.

So to sum it up, the winnings were not from a real money deposit, instead, they still originated from the funds acquired from the deposit bonus or maybe better to say Free spins, thus the casino team correctly applied the rule:

58.3.11 If a player decides to cancel an active Bonus, he can do so from his account. However, all bonus money, all winnings and any wagered amount resulting from his betting activity with the bonus will be forfeited for once and for all. Bonus bets calculates real money first and then bonus amount.

You never finished the Free spins wagering, instead, as mentioned you activated, played for a while and cancelled the free spins repeatedly 20x times through the day on 28.12.

Once you requested another withdrawal on 29.12. and your entire gameplay was checked by the appropriate casino team all the above-mentioned was discovered and the winnings were cancelled accordingly.

I trust that this explanation has provided clarity regarding the situation. Should I have missed any details or if there remains any aspect that is not entirely clear, please do not hesitate to inform me, and I will make every effort to address it.

Hello,

The free spins were only activated when I started playing them, which I did after my 400 euro withdrawal. If I had 0.09 euro in my account when I cancelled my withdrawal, how could I ever manage to play my balance to exactly 0 euro? You can't place a bet like that.

The thing has been exactly as I have said. I am sure that I had not played any free spins before the 400 euro withdrawal request, but after. I then cancelled the winnings I had won from the free spins (if my account has been 0.09€ after this, I have not been able to get it to 0 euros or why has it not gone to 0 euros because I have cancelled my bonus?) So is the situation that if my account had 0.09 euros in bonus money possibly received from free spins (even though I have cancelled the bonus) then I will therefore be deprived of the 3000 euros that I have won with the amount from which I cancelled my withdrawal, which were won by making real money deposits? It is not possible..

Am I wrong that the free spins are only activated as bonus money when you play the free spins? It also clearly states in the bonus terms and conditions that the winnings from the free spins are added to the bonus balance after playing.

And why I have canceled "20 times" and reactivated is because each win from a free spin has come separately as a bonus to my balance and these have had to be canceled one by one.

So I disagree with everything else except that it could be possible that there was €0.09 in the account after the bonus was canceled and I can't do anything about it because you can't place a bet in any game that would have gotten you €0.

Hei,

ilmaiskierrokset aktivoituivat vasta kun olen niitä alkanut pelaamaan, jonka tein tämän 400 euron kotiutukseni jälkeen. Jos tililläni on ollut 0.09 euroa kun tein kotiutukseni peruutuksen, kuinka voisin ikinä onnistua pelaamaan saldooni tasan 0 euroon? Sellaista panosta ei voi asettaa.

Asia on ollut juuri kuten olen kertonut. Olen varma, että ilmaiskierroksia en ollut pelannut yhtäkään ennen 400 euron kotiutus pyyntöä vaan sen jälkeen. Peruutin sitten pelaamallani ilmaiskierroksella saadut voitot (jos tilini on ollut tämän jälkeen 0.09€, en ole sitä 0 euroon voinut saattaa tai miksi se ei ole mennyt 0 euroon koska olen peruuttanut bonukseni?) Eli onko tilanne se että jos tililläni oli ollut 0.09 euroa mahdollisesti ilmaiskierroksilla saatua bonusrahaa (vaikka olen peruuttanut bonuksen) niin minulta viedään sen vuoksi 3000 euroa jotka olen voittanut summalla josta tein kotiutukseni peruutuksen, jotka oli voitettu tekemälläni oikean rahan talletuksille?Ei ole mahdollista..

Olenko väärässä että ilmaiskierrokset aktivoituvat vasta bonusrahaksi kun ilmaiskierrokset pelaa? Näin lukee selkeästi myös bonus ehdoissa, että ilmaiskierroksella saadut voitot lisätään bonus saldoon pelaamisen jälkeen.

Ja miksi olen peruuttanut "20 kertaa" ja aktivoinut uudelleen kyse on siitä että jokainen ilmaiskierroksella saatu voitto on tullut erikseen bonuksena saldooni ja nämä on pitänyt yksitellen peruuttaa.

Eli olen erimieltä kaikesta muusta paitsi tuo voi olla mahdollista, että tilillä on ollut 0.09€ bonuksen peruutuksen jälkeen ja minä en itse voi sille mitään koska sellaista panosta ei voi missään pelissä asettaa, että olisin sen saanut 0 euroon.

As an addition, if you look at the game history I provided, you can see that after claiming the bonus, I have made 250 euros in real money deposits, after which I have made this 400 euros withdrawal request. At this point, I was not even aware of which game I had the opportunity to play free spins on. If you can interpret my game history correctly as the truth is, you will notice that at this point no free spins had been played and the free spins bonus is not active until the free spins are played.

After my 400 euro withdrawal request, I later discovered that I had free spins to play and started playing them while waiting for the withdrawal request. How can you think that if a player wins 400 euros after a 250 euro real money deposit and makes a withdrawal from it, they should not be allowed to play the free spins available during the pending withdrawal? I didn't want to complete the wagering because the maximum amount to be withdrawn with the free spins would have been 100 euros, which is already ridiculous in itself, so during the wagering I decided that I didn't want to play any more of the bonus money I received with the free spins and cancelled them (each FS win has come as a separate bonus and everything had to be cancelled separately, which is also amazing). I think at this point my balance should have already gone to 0 euros by the casino because I cancelled my bonus?! After canceling the bonus, I played my balance as close to 0 euros as possible for this very reason, so that if I had a balance with bonus money, future winnings could be taken from me if I wanted to play more later.

As I wanted to play more the next day, December 29th, and instead of making a deposit, I cancelled my pending withdrawal, which definitely didn't include bonus money, because I had made an additional deposit of 250 euros after losing the bonus.

I feel like my gaming history has been misinterpreted and I am being robbed. I still understand that I may have had the €0.15 possible bonus mixed in at the time of my withdrawal cancellation (which shouldn't be in my balance because I have cancelled all the bonuses I found in my account the day before my pending withdrawal was cancelled). How can I get my balance to exactly €0 if the wagering doesn't allow it. This is cruel and unfair that that €3000 is being stolen from me because of that.

But when I made my withdrawal of 400 euros, there was no bonus money in that 0.09 euros. How could it be when I deposited 250 euros of real money after losing the bonus?

It's completely crazy if you think the casino has acted correctly in this and you still think so, you can close the case and remove my case from here permanently, as well as the usernames I created, I don't appreciate your actions if you can interpret this as an advantage for the casino, even though you can very clearly check from my game history that the matter is exactly as I described.

Lisäyksenä, jos tarkastelet antamaani pelihistoriaa, voit huomata, että olen tehnyt bonuksen lunastamisen jälkeen 250 euroa oikean rahan talletuksia joiden jälkeen olen tehnyt tämän 400 euron kotiutuspyynnön. En tässä vaiheessa vielä ollut edes tietoinen missä pelissä minulla on ilmaiskierroksia mahdollisuus pelata. Jos osaatte tulkita pelihistoriaani oikein niin kuin totuus on, huomaatte, että vielä tässä vaiheessa ilmaiskierroksia ei oltu pelattu ja ilmaiskierroksien bonus ei ole aktiivinen ennen kuin ilmaiskierroksia pelaa..

400 euron kotiutuspyyntöni jälkeen myöhemmin havaitsin, että minulla on ilmaiskierroksia pelattavan ja aloin odottavan kotiutuspyynnön aikana niitä pelaamaan. Kuinka voitte olla tässä sitä mieltä, että jos pelaaja voittaa 250 euron oikean rahan talletuksien jälkeen 400 euroa ja tekee tästä noston, ei saisi odottavan noston aikana pelata tarjolla olevia ilmaiskierroksia? En halunnut kierrätystä viedä loppuun koska suurin kotiutettava summa ilmaiskierroksilla olisi ollut 100 euroa joka on itsessään jo naurettavaa, tämän vuoksi kesken kierrätyksen päätin, että en halua pelata ilmaiskierroksilla saatua bonusrahaa enempää ja peruutin ne (jokainen FS voitto on tullut erillisenä bonuksena ja kaikki piti erikseen peruuttaa joka on myös ihmeellistä). Mielestäni tässä kohtaan saldoni olisi pitänyt mennä jo kasinon toimesta 0 euroon koska peruutin bonukseni?! Bonuksen peruuttamisen jälkeen pelasin saldoni niin lähelle 0 euroa kuin mahdollista juuri tämän syyn takia, että jos minulla olisi saldoa bonus rahalla voitaisiin minulta viedä tulevat voitot jos haluan pelata myöhemmin lisää.

Kuten halusinkin pelata seuraavana päivänä 29.12 lisää ja tein silloin talletuksen sijaan odottavan kotiutukseni peruutuksen jossa ei ollut täysin varmasti bonus rahaa sekaisin koska olinhan tehnyt bonuksen hävittyäni 250 euroa talletuksia lisää..

Minusta tuntuu että pelihistoriaani on tulkittu väärin ja minut ryöstetään. Ymmärrän edelleenkin tuon, että minulla on saattanut olla se 0.15€ mahdollista bonuksen sekaista rahaa, kotiutukseni peruutuksen aikaan (jota ei saldossani pitäisi olla koska olen peruuttanut itse kaikki bonukset jotka löysin käyttäjätililtäni jo päivää ennen odottavan kotiutukseni peruutusta). Miten minä voisin saada saldoni tasan 0 euroon jos panostus ei mahdollista sitä. Tämä on julmaa ja kohtuutonta, että sen vuoksi tuo 3000 euroa varastetaan minulta.

Mutta kun olen 400 euron kotiutukseni tehnyt tuossa 0.09 eurossa ei ole ollut yhtään bonusrahaa. Miten voisi olla kun olen bonuksen hävittyäni tallettanut 250 euroa oikeaa rahaa?

On täysin hullua jos mielestänne kasino on toiminut tässä oikein ja olette edelleen sitä mieltä, voitte sulkea tapauksen ja poistaa tapaukseni täältä lopullisesti, sekä tekemäni käyttäjätunnukset, en arvosta toimintaanne jos voitte tämän tulkita kasinon eduksi vaikka pelihistoriastani voitte hyvin selkeästi tarkastaa että asia on tismalleen kertomani mukainen.

Dear Allu,

I have sent you an email containing my additional thoughts regarding the situation. Due to its complexity and the inclusion of several screenshots, I was unable to share it here. Nevertheless, I have made an effort to address your inquiries.

Dear Allu,

We are extending the timer by 7 days. Please, be aware that in case you fail to respond in the given time frame or don’t require any further assistance, we will reject the complaint.

Hello,

Thank you for your message. Our conversation clarified the matter a bit, but as we said, the matter is not entirely simple and we will proceed as you suggested and I will also wait for MADRE's decision.

Hei,

kiitos viestistäsi. Keskustelumme selvensi hieman asiaa, mutta kuten totesimme asia ei ole täysin yksinkertainen ja mennään esittämälläsi tavalla eteenpäin ja jään odottamaan myös MADREn päätöstä.

Dear Allu,

As I mentioned in our email correspondence, it appears that the casino team has adhered to their established protocols. However, I will certainly await the decision from the ADR regarding this issue. I will be temporarily closing your complaint as unresolved - waiting for the regulator's decision until we receive a decision from the ADR. Please keep me informed of any developments regarding your progress and the feedback you obtain from MADRE at [email protected]

Dear Allu,
We hope this finds you well. We would like to ask you to provide an update regarding this case, which was previously marked as "Waiting for Regulator" on our website.

We truly appreciate your cooperation, and your response would be of great assistance to us.
Thank you in advance for your reply.
