if i had to guess I'd say it's a 'we reserve the right, at our discretion...' thing. And that similar to what Gaz said above, the players who did get to keep this money were perhaps deemed to be players who make larger deposits, and that making sure to retain their custom while also making them feel even more valued in the process outweighs taking back the money put in their accounts due to the error.
I'm ceartinly not accusing when i say this, but i do hope you are acting in good faith, which i do believe you are.
But i do hope that you didn't ..accidently.. forget to mention you was actually already aware of 2 others having been able to keep the funds, aware of 2 others who had recieved the email shortly after the error/or when attempting withdrawal. while you yourself had also already receieved an email fairly promptly after the withdrawal was declined, an email which didn't contain the good news of being able to keep the funds like the other 2 emails indeed did. but delayed sharing that with your initial post, as somewhat like an extra attempt to gain sympathy for how the balance was wiped without any explanation.
I've got a fat fkn headache so please don't take that too personally. I've got to be a bitch towards someone and since this thought came to mind, that someone is you..
Regardless of if you did or didn't act in such manner, which the casino would probably fairly easily be able to prove (or you yourself), imo it doesn't excuse the initial poor choice of LV to let some people benefit from this error, and tell others to F off.
But you obviously read the terms as you know there are 2 players credited daily and the times for claiming are also stated ? I’m really not trying to have a go but it is obviously an error either way and we can’t always expect to profit from errors certainly if it was the bank they would just take the money back and that would be that. As stated there are probably higher value players that they didn’t want to piss off and let them keep it but who knows what the extent of the mistake was and they probably had to draw a line somewhereI understand the skepticism, but I can assure you I have only acted with total honesty throughout this thread. See below a screenshot of the email, you can see the date and time of when I received it and when I posted this thread.

1) at the time I logged into my account to see the cash drop funds credited, I fully believed it to be genuine and I was one of the two successful accounts credited.
2) it was only once the funds were removed I started to question why. At this time I still had no idea there were any other players impacted. I had also received zero communication on the matter.
3) only after contacting Leovegas myself (and being on hold for a long time before I could even get through) I was told the money was added in error.
4) following this I sent an email to the support team explaining my side of the events, my disappointment and enquiring as to what has happened.
5) only yesterday afternoon did I receive an email from Leovegas stating it was added in error with no compensation offered. It was also not a response to the email I had sent them.
6) also only yesterday afternoon did I find out that some other players that were erroneously credited the £1k were allowed to keep it.
The frustrating thing is, I'm a loyal customer and I've never kicked up a fuss with them about anything. I play regularly with Videoslots and Grosvenor and their customer service has only ever been excellent for me. I feel like if this happened at either of those I'd have been, at the very least, offered some sort of goodwill gesture to account for their error.
Moan at me if you want, but it sucks, idc.

Thanks @DreamRJ - really appreciate the support.
I did message the rep(s) last night. Still no response on this thread, via message or via email (Leo Support).
Will keep you all updated![]()

Hey mate,Moan at me if you want, but it sucks, idc.
Hey mate,
I wouldn't pay attention to those negative comments. There are some here that seem to take delight in bashing players.
Your reaction is perfectly reasonable and you have good reason to feel disappointed with the casino.
Hope they try and make it good.
Good luck
You complain?.. never!.. I won’t have that!!!. LolBut that is beside the point. I to was a big loyal player at Leovegas and their loyalty stinks and is pretty much none existent. Yet I still deposit a hell of a lot their. And yet I still never ever get any type of goodwills. Reason being is because my withdraws are above my deposits for the lifetime of my account. Mainly because of a progressive I won a few years ago of €12,200 ish euros on that Yggdrasil slot Holmes Secret of the stones slot. On a 0.40 stake.
And ever since that my account has basically been bonus banned because of that very reason. Even though I am still loyal. Deposit huge amounts of money. Yes I still get withdraws once in a while. That also then keeps the ratios between deposits/withdraws nearly the same mostly. So it will never happen in my lifetime that I will be able to get my deposits back above my withdraws. I never even get promo emails or texts anymore. Even though I am opted into them. I get totally 0 back from them.
So the point about them letting some of them keep the £1000 over others is just totally unfair and unjust in my opinion. They should have made it so that if it was the case they kept making this mistake which it appears to be the case and they chose to let some keep the funds, then that rule should have applied to everyone as well. Regardless what circumstances etc etc. Just my opinion anyway.
I think many members know that I have some history with complaining about Leovegas over the last year or more and those feelings towards them have not changed. They still lack to be active in this forum, they still Lack at a lot of things. Then something I have noticed the last few months is this. Their live chat is now Highly busy. Every time I try to use Live Chat now it says I am in queue position 10 most of the time. So it now basically can take upto 1 hour to speak to an agent in some occasions. Many many months ago It used to take 30seconds - 2 minutes. Now it does not matter what time of day or night it is, even in the early hours of the morning. Live chat now has huge queues always. I keep saying when will they get more agents every time, and they just keep saying. We will pass on your feedback. Same old same old nonsense lol.
Yet I continue to play at Leovegas. Yes madness that I still do I know lol.
But I am on the side of the OP I think Leovegas should give him something. The fact they have taken a long time to even email him and the email was soo cold and mean in so many ways compared to the others that others got that said they could keep it. As just plain out of line.
So I am 100% on your side OP. I would keep ringing them up if I was you. And also make sure to PM the rep every day until they respond. The rep does reply eventually but sometimes you can go a few days without a reply to a pm to the Leovegas rep. Hope this helps and Good Luck.
Keep us updated with what they say and if they do actually change their minds and or give you some sort of compensation.
Last thing is. The fact that the OP has now shown prove that others have been able to keep it then that in itself gives the OP some fighting chance at getting something in my opinion. There will also always be some that have a different view that it was a mistake etc etc. Like the one above about if it was a bank error etc etc. Bank errors like that are extremely rare and more rare than this type of error. Bank errors that credit funds have to be like 1 in 10 million chance of happening. As systems are in place that make sure they never happen.

The payers "right"??? He doesn't have one , a mistake was made really how it was made is really irrelevant , something was showing in his account that shouldn't have been there and it was removed so i don't get what your point is? I see what he's doing i don't have any issue with that but please lets not feel for one moment that there is some "entitlement". He knows the terms of the promo he could see that something was "wrong" and if he'd of gone onto live chat and checked at the time of logging in i'm sure they would just of removed the £1000 straight away. He hoped it would be ok and they would process the withdrawal it didn't happen but he's at no loss here so lets just put the violins away for a sec. As i say i see what he's doing have no issue with it but knowing this casino brand i don't hold much hope but there's no harm in tryingIt has nothing to do with terms. Leo Vegas didn't say the money was taken because the OP didn't log in within the time frame as stated on the term. The email clearly said it was technical problem they had.
You keep talking about the casino's right, but how about the player's right?
The OP has every right to complain and being negative with this casino.
His experience with this casino is not pleasant, and I believe the casino did not act right.
The OP is not trying to profit the error. What he is expecting is some kind of gesture from the casino to say sorry.
The casino can decide which customers are more valuable than others and they can act accordingly, the players can decide which casino is good and which casino is not good and they can act accordingly-such as writhing a post based on the fact and expressing his unhappiness with this casino.

Tbh mate id genuinely not expect anything back as you actually didn’t win anything, as for a gesture of goodwill I’d probably write that off to sadly.Thanks for all the support everyone, really do appreciate it. I know I'm having a good moan here, but trust me the disappointment is genuine. As I said, at the time, I genuinely believed I had won that money.
@DreamRJ - PM'd you bud.

Unless the Leo rep ‘roars’ into action and decides different..
just don’t build your hopes up .
All the best

The casino can decide which customers are more valuable than others and they can act accordingly
Could it not also have been that the ones who got to keep it possibly wagered and lost the majority of it. Let's say they lost 95% of it, that's €50 for some good PR for the person who received "€1000" and anybody he shares the news with. To make the same move for OP who instead kept 95% of it, the price tag would be €950.

I personally think OP should be offerd some goodwill gesture
but what i found most annoying right is how the rep can go AWOL he reads the thread then leaves
pretty disgusting whats the point having a rep if you dont wanna answer when issues comes along ?
he should come in tell us what happend and why period .

he should come in tell us what happend and why period .
I mean they should tell us why some peeps got to keep the 1000 and others notTo be fair, they did tell him what happened:
Leovegas balance wiped
They gave their sincerest apologies and explain exactly what happened. Having said that; it is shitty (and a dumb move PR-wise) that they can't even give him anything as compensation, seeing is 100 shitty free spins would cost them less than €10 on average. But you can't say that they haven't "told us what happened", everybody here knows exactly what happened.

Ah ok, my bad. That's very true!
I mean they should tell us why some peeps got to keep the 1000 and others not
I think that needs some explanations![]()

Lets hope that the next time you will make a mistake, you will be as humble as you expect other to be for you.Quick update all, the Leovegas rep has replied to my PM now on this forum. They have stated that they cannot discuss personal account matters via this forum so I must contact support. Obviously I have done this multiple times now but have received no response yet from their support team.
They did state that "This occurred due to an error on our behalf and we are doing our utmost to solve it as swiftly as possible." so it does sound like they are still working on it all in the background, which could explain the lack of response from Leo support as of yet.
Not sure what warranted that negative comment? And no need to really reply. I found him to be quite " humble", in the sense that he never posted anything evil or derogatory about the casino.Lets hope that the next time you will make a mistake, you will be as humble as you expect other to be for you.

Absolutely. When I make mistakes, I take full accountability for them and make things right. Why would I not?
I just wonder if you know how many there was who got this credited by mistake? Was it hundred or thousands of customers? I bet it was a lot of money anyway.
Should everyone get a compensation for this, even those who wasn't aware of getting the money, since it was taken away so fast?
A humble person in my eyes realize it was a mistake, accept their apology, and hope for better luck next time, but that's me.
I don't know how many, but there are very few from scouting around that are shouting about it, so I'd imagine not a massive number.
You say accept their apology, but you do realise that all I got was a very non-personal email a day and a half after the whole incident occurred? And all my other correspondence thus far has been ignored.
It has been dealt with poorly. Call me humble, call me not, doesn't really matter to me, you're entitled to your own opinion.
I think the main issue here right now is why allow some members to keep the 1000 and remove it from othersI just wonder if you know how many there was who got this credited by mistake? Was it hundred or thousands of customers? I bet it was a lot of money anyway.

You mean just like they do every day when deciding who gets a chip drop/match bonus ??? The rationale being used here is just nutsI think the main issue here right now is why allow some members to keep the 1000 and remove it from others
Either you make a mistake or not
They should have removed it from everyone apoligise and move on
Not pick from the crowd

They can't discuss personal account matters via this forum even if it's via PM's? Then what is the point of having a rep in the first place?
Agreed and no rep no accreditation ?They can't discuss personal account matters via this forum even if it's via PM's? Then what is the point of having a rep in the first place?
VS rep don't send us to CS. VS reps communicates with us by an email not by PM and they are really quick most time to respond and solve the issue.It's the same with Videoslots so I thought everyone felt it was okay. Good to hear others react too.
Any casino accepting personal data via PM are taking a risk due to GDPR or they have a data protection agreement with CM, which I doubt many have.
