A Question About Game Errors

Hey all,

So this is something that happened around 8 months ago, and while it's all done and dusted now (well, I just closed my account), I can't help but feel like I was somewhat 'cheated' by the casino.

I won't mention the casino, as I'm not expecting any kind of resolution - just curious to hear others' thoughts.

So I had a balance in my account of £100, and went to play Monopoly Big Event mega spins (£30 each.)

For those who know the game, I landed the green sticky-bonus symbol one(Basically, when you start the mega spins, a wheel thing spins, and you can either land multipliers, or sticky bonus symbols)

Anyway, on the first mega spin, of give, I hit a decent win and two sticky bonus symbols - so i'm almost certainly going to land the main bonus feature. Next spin, another decent win - total winnings now about £60. 3 spins remaining, and I get a game error.

Restart the game, error still persists. Clear cache, cookies etc etc - long story short, there's nothing I can do to get the game working again, so CS put it to the tech team to deal with.

Few days later, I hear back saying the game was voided, and I was returned by £30 stake. The thing is - I'd already WON £60 in the slot. And it was very, very likely I'd have won more, given that landing a bonus round was a very likely occurrence.

I get that slots have the "malfunction voids all play" disclaimer thing - but surely in situations like this, the casino - or the game operator - will be able to see the outcome?

Am I right in thinking this is unfair? Or is this "common"?
 
Be careful with Bonuses!
It is  crucial  that you understand and agree to the terms and conditions of any bonus that you accept. Most of the complaints that come through our arbitration service are bonus related; it would be safe to say that there are tens of thousands of players who have never complained because they realized after the fact that they did not understand or had never read the terms. Nothing in a casino is free – so whenever you see “free” being used, there are stipulations. It is important for you to understand that.

Please check out our Bonus Section that lists the offers given by our Accredited Casinos. No deposit bonuses, welcome bonuses (AKA sign up bonuses [SUBs]), exclusive bonuses, reload bonuses, free spin bonuses...all this and more!
Had this issue at kaboo recently - you need to ask them to contact the provider who will have the game record played out. Note it takes ages and they were hesitant about doing it but I was fobbed off similarly like you initally. Ask them and see what they say. Obviously its less time consuming/more lucrative to just return your stake.

Yep, that was the first thing I asked! I just got a fobbed-off kind of reply, and they said 'this is our final decision' etc etc.
 
I’d personally ask to see their gaming log from WMS/whoever the provider is for that game to back it up. Could have been worth £100s

I got so hacked off with their lack of response, I ended up self excluding from their site. Would that make a difference? They'
re UKGC licensed, so perhaps I could go through a dispute thingy. I'll have to take a look into it, thanks for your help!
