Welle Casino - Spillerens anmodning om udbetaling er blokeret af kasinopolitikker.

Dear Casino Guru team,

I am reaching out to seek your assistance regarding a dispute I am currently facing with Welle Casino related to my recent withdrawal request.

On 10.02, I received a notification from Welle Casino confirming that my withdrawal request had been processed, but it was corrected to a maximum amount of €50 due to their terms regarding No Deposit Bonuses in the form of Free Spins. While I appreciate their acknowledgment of my winnings, I believe there has been a misunderstanding regarding the application of their terms.

To provide context, I initially won €12.61 from the Free Spins. Following this, I successfully converted my bonus balance into real money and continued playing in their Live Casino, where I ultimately achieved a total balance of €1,290. According to Welle's stated terms:

1. The winnings directly from Free Spins are indeed capped at €50.

2. My winnings from Free Spins were only €12.61, well below the cap.

3. The significant total I reached was generated from my real balance after completing the wagering requirements.

Given these points, I am seeking clarification on whether Welle Casino's policy would mean that any future winnings exceeding €50, even if derived from my real balance, would be capped due to the original Free Spins limit. This interpretation seems inconsistent with the terms, as the €50 limit should only apply to the initial winnings from Free Spins, not to the profits generated from subsequent play with real funds.

I feel that the manner in which Welle Casino has handled this situation reflects an overinterpretation of their regulations. I have evidence of my winnings, including an email confirmation and the amount won in the game "Sweet Bonanza Candyland" that is visible in the gallery of winners.

I kindly request your assistance in reviewing my case and providing guidance on how I may effectively resolve this matter with Welle Casino. Your expertise in handling such disputes would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your prompt response.

In addition this is mails from them:

We have received your request for withdrawal.

Congratulations on your win!

According to the Terms and Conditions:

For a No Deposit Bonus in the form of Free Spins (FS), the maximum amount that can be won is €50 or any other currency equivalent. For Example, if a customer receives a No Deposit Bonus in the form of Free Spins and wins a total of €100, the customer will be able to withdraw €50, and the remaining €50 will be held by Welle.

Because of this, your withdrawal amount has been corrected to €50 and your balance to €0.

Your withdrawal will be processed immediately.

My response:

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek clarification regarding the winnings I accumulated from the Free Spins you provided. Initially, I won an exact amount of €12.61 from the Free Spins. During the process of wagering the bonus balance, I managed to increase this amount. Once the bonus balance was fully converted into real balance, I continued playing in the Live Casino and eventually reached a total of €1,290.

Based on my understanding of your Terms and Conditions:

1. The winnings directly from Free Spins are capped at €50, which I completely understand.

2. In my case, the winnings from the Free Spins amounted to only €12.61, which is well below the €50 cap.

3. The significant winnings I achieved came after converting the bonus balance into real money, which I then used to play in the Live Casino.

Given this context, I seek clarification on the following points:

- Does this mean that any future winnings exceeding €50, even if derived from real balance after completing the wagering requirements, would still be capped due to the original Free Spins limit?

- It seems inconsistent with the terms, as the €50 cap should apply only to the initial Free Spins winnings, not to the profits made afterward with real balance.

I feel that this situation represents an overinterpretation of the regulations in your favor. The terms specify a maximum withdrawal of €50 from Free Spins; however, in my case, my winnings were only €12.61, with the remainder stemming from further play. This is particularly concerning given that my email and the amount I won in the game "Sweet Bonanza Candyland" are visible in the gallery of winners.

Could you kindly review my case and provide clarification? I appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.
