Player's complaint

A customer claiming a deposit-match welcome bonus placed several spins above the £5 max-bet rule documented in the bonus T&Cs while clearing the wagering requirement. The operator voided both the bonus and approximately £4,200 in associated winnings on detection of the breach. The customer disputed that the max-bet rule had been adequately surfaced at the point of bonus claim. The case was reviewed by the operator's complaints team and subsequently escalated to ADR.

Ladbrokes Casino response

The operator maintained its decision on the basis that the max-bet rule was published in the bonus T&Cs the customer accepted. The ADR upheld the operator's position. The customer's deposit was returned in full; bonus-derived winnings were not.
