    High Noon Casino account closed - student issue

    Got a bonus, made playthrough, made a deposit and was ready to make a 320$ withdraw...
    They called me and asked a couple of questions, the last one was if I'm a student. I answered yes and they closed my account.

    However I'm neither college nor university student, I'm in high school.
    I told this in live chat, that didn't help much but I was advised to send an email.

    Sent an email and was answered that I can't play because university is higher than high school.
    I asked them to atleast let me have my bonus winnings that I got before I was first told high school students can't play. I think it would be pretty appropriate.
    Haven't been answered to that yet.

    Your in high school!!!!! You shouldn't be gambling online you should be studying! Most high school students are under 18 except for a very few in their final year- the 25yrs was to aviod confusion about uni students and mature age stidents.

    Side with the casino on this one- at most you should get back your deposit if you can provide ID for age limits, although I think you know full well you really weren;t eligile to sign up in the first place and are trying it on by selective interpretation.

    It depends, but in Norway- what we would call "high school", the students are up to about 15-16.

    Maybe the player acctually is a student but did not know the T&C, and he is now trying to find a way out of the problems, by saying he is a underage high school kid

    I'm 18, in Finland most people are in high school till they are 18-19.
    I thought it was just university or college students who weren't able to join as it clearly says only university and college in the terms.

    Yes, I corrected my case. Bit interesting, since you are in High School.

    1. The Player is at least 18 years of age or has reached the legal age of maturity in his/her jurisdiction, whichever is greater. Full time students aged 25 or under who are enrolled in a College or University are not permitted to play in the Casino.

    Is the legal age of maturity 18 in Finland? (probably )

    College would be meant to include what you call high school- which in some places is called secondary college- the university is included to distinguish post high school students- The intention is to exclude young (25) full time students as you would clearly know and cleary are

    You are playing unsuccesfuly with semantics or as judge judy said
