casino says my win needs manual approval because bet size changed during session

Not really buying the outrage here. I got clipped once because I forgot a bonus was still attached and bounced my stake during a feature, so now I assume promo terms are where they hide this kind of nonsense even when the cashier makes it look like clean balance only

Yeah, changing bet size in one session is not some red flag by itself, that part I’d push back on. Every spin is its own wager, same with Live Dealer hands, the system already logs the exact stake tied to the win, there’s nothing to “figure out” after the fact. I had one place do this on a slot hit after I went from .40 to 1.20 and back, and sure enough manual review turned into a slow walk for documents 🙄 if it wasn’t in the rules before play, that’s them buying time

What jumps out to me is the phrase manual approval. That usually means a sloppy back office, not some clever fraud check. I was dumb enough to keep playing while one place “reviewed” a hit for 3 days, and yesss, they found extra docs to ask for right after. That tells you plenty.
