Misleading bonus terms and unclear withdrawal restrictions
Very disappointing experience with Merlin Casino. The casino advertises a 120% welcome bonus with no wagering requirements, but the actual bonus conditions are much more restrictive than the promotion makes them seem. First of all, the minimum withdrawal was €50, which was not clearly communicated to me before depositing. I only discovered this when I went to the withdrawal page. This is especially frustrating considering that the minimum deposit for the welcome bonus is only €20. The bonus terms are also confusing. The bonus is sticky, there is a €3 maximum bet limit, a 5x maximum withdrawal restriction, and a long list of prohibited games. I also contacted customer support to ask whether Bonus Buys were allowed. The agent told me they were prohibited under section 14.1, even though that section does not explicitly mention Bonus Buys. Instead, it refers generally to strategies intended to exploit the bonus system. When I asked for clarification, support simply stated that the system blocks Bonus Buys and directed me back to the terms. I believe important restrictions like these should be clearly explained before players deposit money, rather than leaving customers to discover them afterwards. Overall, I found the experience frustrating and the terms unnecessarily unclear. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Merlin Casino. 1 star.
