Haha, I got a hell of a shock when signing into my Neteller-account today, $1200 out of nowhere (that's quite alot of money for me) had been transferred to my account... It took a while for me to understand that it was the money from Capital Casino that I had totally given up on.
I don't know how I should thank you Casinomeister, if it hadn't been for you I'm sure they had kept the money. You really helped me out, now I can pay for that trip to Bulgary this summer without going broke
So thanks alot for your time and effort!!!!

It appears that they are processing a withdrawal for me for the full amount which is a pleasant surprise. Just like to thank you for your perserverance on this one, much appreciated.

Pass, no-pass, double 6 - ery tiny losses - this would really be "irregular play" - never do this with an FL bonus.
Easily avoided by not signing up at any new FL casino.
Riverbelle also have pretty much the same tournaments as Royal Vegas, so FL has lost it's monopoly on these.

The problem with ECOGRA is that Capital casino (although they are a part of Fortune Lounge) - are not listed in ECOGRA casinos list. ANd ECOGRA is not dealing with the casinos that are not in their list. I have a complaint about Capital casino to file also and i don't know what to do.

As you can tell, there are still some loose ends - my bad. And this changes things a bit.

There are several much better casinos in your "not recommended list" than these money stealers. This way the lists lose their meaning completely.

These guys locked my account in March because of the way I played the bonus and as yet am yet to see any of my money, not even my deposit.

Pommac - I hope you're not one of the fraudsters, and you're merely a dolphin caught in the tuna net.
I submitted a PAB and have not been paid as yet. My account is still locked when I try and login. Capital specifically told me I abused the bonus so I'd be surprised if I've now been classed as a fraudulent player.

eCogra might want to hurry up and exercise a similar responsibility.

I agree with your post.
Fortune Lounge locks & steals first. Then they possibly investigates a case if a player PaBs. I think that is not acceptable.
And yes, Capital Casino has the EZ Bonus system and you can play any games and they ALL count towards the WR althought not 100%.

Since you have not made a withdrawal yet, they should let you complete the playthrough on your deposit and bonus.
I WISH PEOPLE WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THEY SHOULD ONLY PLAY SLOTS AND KENO UNTIL THEY MEET THE PLAYTHROUGH!
I have personally never had the kind of problems posted here because I normally play slots only until wagering is met.
CHECK THE FINE PRINT AND IN THE FUTURE ASK BEFORE YOU START PLAYING
Why should he only play slots and keno? It is a standard EZ-Bonus with all games counting towards the WR. The T&C even includes an example of using roulette to clear the bonus.

I would be hesitant to presume anything at this stage.
Was Video poker an allowed game towards wagering as most casinos disallow them (thanks to the bonus dbl up feature).
You really need to get some clarification from the Casino as to how you can be considered a bonus abuser and what terms did you break that would merit 1, having your account closed, 2, confiscate your balance or winnings?
Make sure you speak to someone within management or within fraud/risk.
All i can say its extremely important these days that you check carefully the terms and conditions of any site that you sign up with, as often mistakes can be avoided.

In mars this year I signed up and claimed the welcome bonus at Capital Casino, with the intention of entering an honest casino. I played some ideo poker and were lucky enough to turn my €50-deposit into more than €900. Then I played some other games with no intention of cashing out my money for a while.
Then one day maybe a week after my deposit I couldn't logon to my account anymore, it was LOCKED. Of course I sent emails to the support who at last told me it was because of I'd abused a bonus offer! I was chocked and sent them a reply asking "Is getting lucky and win some money equal to bonus abuse?". I didn't get any answer, tried again, didn't get any answer....
It seems like capital casino has stolen my money that I won in an honest way.
I'm about to loose faith in online gambling, the odds are so much worse if you can't be sure of get the money you deserve when you once in a while win some. Isn't the House Edge enough for the casinos!?
