Why was my casino bonus removed?
A casino bonus is usually removed for breaking its terms — most often exceeding the max-bet limit, playing excluded games, letting the bonus expire before clearing it, or wagering patterns the casino flags as bonus abuse.
The common triggers: betting above the per-spin max while the bonus is active (a single breach can void it), clearing wagering on excluded or low-weighted games against the rules, running out the expiry window before meeting the requirement, or behaviour like multi-accounting and low-risk “bonus hedging”. These rules are written into the bonus terms even though few players read them, and the bonus plus any winnings from it are removed when one is triggered — your own real-money balance may survive if it was kept separate (a non-sticky bonus).
To avoid it: read the terms before claiming, keep every bet under the max-bet cap, stick to eligible games, clear the bonus before it expires, and use one account with consistent details. If a bonus was removed and you believe it was in error, contact support with your account details for the specific reason.

FAQ
Why did the casino take my bonus away?
Almost always because a bonus term was broken — exceeding the max bet, playing excluded games, the bonus expiring, or activity flagged as abuse. The bonus and winnings from it are removed; a separate real balance may remain.
