They do not pay. Read this.

I received a $10 bonus from Powerbet casino and played well over the wager requirement. When I cashed out my $200 they first confirmed my cashout with this mail:
---
Dear Player
You have requested a check payment of your winnings at Powerbet Casino. The
check will be sent ia normal mail and it may take up to 6 working days to
recieve it at the specified address in XXX. The check will be for $200.00
in your favour. Any deposits made by your VISA card will be automatically
credited back to your card.
Anyhow, if your withdrawal request is for less than $25 the amount will be
reversed to your casino account.

Congratulations for your success!!!

Then I did not hear anything for a long time and logged into the casino to see that my withdrawal was denied even though I had received an approval by e-mail. I e-mailed and asked why and I got an response saying that I hadnt met the requirements for the bonus. I e-mailed again and asked how that could be since I wagered much more than the requirement. They then told me that one of the requirements for the bonus was to hit a winning combination on the second row of the payout table on a slot machine!!

I told them that I had never noticed this requirement even though I always read the terms and conditions but also added that I could have missed it and asked them to send me a copy of the terms and conditions where it was stated. They refused but told my $200 was to be put on my casino account like stated in the mail below.

Dear Player
Thank you for playing at Powerbet Casino. Your winnings of $200.00 have
been reversed to your casino account. If you are confident that you have
followed strictly our promotional terms and conditions and finalized all
the required wagering, the most probable reason for the reversal would be
that your $200.00 withdrawal is less than the required minimum for
processing a check to be mailed to your address in XXX. Please,
refer to our Terms and conditions at http://www.powerbet.com/scratch/terms.asp

If you have further queries do not hesitate to contact us and we will
respond with detailed explanation.

Regards
Tracy

Some more time went by without any money put back on the account and I e-mailed and asked them why. Their response was that not only did I have to hit the second row of the payout table in any slot machine I also only had a limited time to do so otherwise the bonus and winnings would be taken.

Dear XXX
It is a promotion with limited time to do so.

I again asked them to send me a copy of the terms and conditions where this could be read but they refused again. In addition I never had a chance to hit this particular payout row either since they never put the $200 back to my account.

Any ideas what can be done if anything!? This was some time ago and they now refuse to communicate with me even though I communicated ery formal and with good manner. I'm so dissappointed
