Coin Falls
- You've played the rest, now try casual gaming at it's best. This is the second game in a series so please also check out Jungle Coin Falls, the game that started it all. Progress through the game.
- The CoinFalls online casino was founded in 2014 and is owned by Nektan Limited Casinos. It has already received a fair amount of press attention and loyal fans due to its range of slot games.
- All in all, CoinFalls casino offers exactly what you might expect from a Nektan Casino with its decent catalogue of mobile slot machines, rewarding bonuses and solid licensing credentials. However, while this impressive casino service should satisfy many punters out there, there is a downside.
Ruling
Found for the Player - While Nektan are correct regarding the bonus terms and conditions restricting this player's win to £10, on review of the bonus awarded we've discovered that this bonus actively disadvantages players - i.e. this player was mathematically expected to lose more with the bonus than they would be if they'd played the wagering requirements without a bonus.
Nektan have shown no willingness to change their position regarding this issue and as such we've published an article about our findings (https://thepogg.com/nektan-when-a-bonus-is-really-a-tax/), have moved all Nektan run properties to Not Recommended status and will be alerting the UKGC.
CoinFalls casino is a 2014 online casino that was launched by Gibraltar-based company Nektan Ltd. Like most casinos from this experienced operator, CoinFalls primarily caters to UK players, which is why the casino holds dual licenses from both the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority as well as the rigid UK Gambling Commission.

Player's Complaint
Coin Falls:Sorry used pogg as not on list
I deposited £10 and was given %200 and 50 spins. I played from midnight til about 6am. I peaked at £98.00. Played rainbow riches pick and mix. Lost most of it. Logged back in around 11am played rainbow riches again won jackpot x500 now at 100.00. Increased balance again to £128.00 was spinning when £120 was removed from my account, leaving £8.00. I called the casino and spoke to [EDIT] who advised me the casino had given me an additional 25% match bonus which I had no knowledge of? This bonus is capped and only allows you 4x the bonus which is £10.00. This is completely unacceptable nobody would take a bonus when chasing monies after depositing that restricted the winnings to £10. This I understand for a no deposit bonus not a deposit one. I spoke to [EDIT] and then [EDIT] both were unhelpful and just told me about the terms and conditions. I said what they had done was wrong as this meant anytime I had winnings in my account they could activate a bonus to restrict my winnings, [EDIT] said yes and that I agreed to this when I signed up. This casino is acting in an unconscionable manner. I was not aware of this bonus put into my account I just assumed I had won this 2.50 on a spin and played using their bonus when I was under the impression I was playing through my deposit, bonus and spins wagering. They use up real cash first then bonus money. I would not have accepted the bonus as I was chasing a feature which I won only to have it removed. I would have simply deposited another 10 from my paysafecard account. There was no pop up advising of the bonus etc.
I never accepted this bonus and was not aware it had been credited with these awful conditions. I have deposited and played at several Nektan casinos recently but these hidden rules to allow the casino to take money from players should be outlawed. I would be grateful if you take up my complaint please, or at the very least warn other players about these awful bonus conditions at all the related sites to ensure this does not happen to anyone else.

Hi jmanuh - welcome to ThePOGG.com!
Firstly apologies for the delayed response - I've been travelling for an industry conference this week.
Before we can do anything to help you I need you to provide us with the username and email address you use at Coin Falls casino. After I have those I'll contact the operator and see what I can find out.
Thanks,
ThePOGG
Hi jmanuh,
Having spoken with Coin Falls, as far as they're concerned you have accepted this bonus and are bound by the terms and conditions of the bonus.
However, having reviewed the bonus we would agree that you have been unfairly treated in this instance. The factors that contribute to this conclusion are as follows:
- This bonus was very small and added to your account without any warnings, alerts or opt outs.
- Mathematical review of the 'bonus' demonstrates that you were almost certainly disadvantaged by this bonus, i.e. the addition of the bonus increased the amount you were expected to lose.
You can find a report on our analysis of the bonus system being used by Nektan here - http://thepogg.com/nektan-when-a-bonus-is-really-a-tax/
Our conversation has at this stage reached a dead end. My recommendation to you would be to contact Coin Falls' appointed ADR IBAS if you are a UK citizen of to contact Coin Falls' regulator the Gibraltar Gambling Commission if your are resident outside of the UK. Feel free to direct these bodies to our report.
We will also be alerting the UKGC to this practice.
Sorry we couldn't be of more help.

Thank you for time and efforts on this matter. Regardless of my losses the fact you have alerted others to these underhanded practices will hopefully stop it happening to as many people as it would have.
Thank you.

Free-Falling Objects
Free fall is the motion of a body where its weight is the only force acting on an object.
Learning Objectives
Solve basic problems concerning free fall and distinguish it from other kinds of motion
Key Takeaways
Key Points
- The acceleration of free-falling objects is called the acceleration due to gravity, since objects are pulled towards the center of the earth.
- The acceleration due to gravity is constant on the surface of the Earth and has the value of 9.80 [latex]displaystyle frac{text{m}}{text{s}^2}[/latex].
Key Terms
- acceleration: The amount by which a speed or velocity changes within a certain period of time (and so a scalar quantity or a vector quantity).
Free Fall
The motion of falling objects is the simplest and most common example of motion with changing velocity. If a coin and a piece of paper are simultaneously dropped side by side, the paper takes much longer to hit the ground. However, if you crumple the paper into a compact ball and drop the items again, it will look like both the coin and the paper hit the floor simultaneously. This is because the amount of force acting on an object is a function of not only its mass, but also area. Free fall is the motion of a body where its weight is the only force acting on an object.
Free Fall: This clip shows an object in free fall.
Galileo also observed this phenomena and realized that it disagreed with the Aristotle principle that heavier items fall more quickly. Galileo then hypothesized that there is an upward force exerted by air in addition to the downward force of gravity. If air resistance and friction are negligible, then in a given location (because gravity changes with location), all objects fall toward the center of Earth with the same constant acceleration, independent of their mass, that constant acceleration is gravity. Air resistance opposes the motion of an object through the air, while friction opposes motion between objects and the medium through which they are traveling. The acceleration of free-falling objects is referred to as the acceleration due to gravity [latex]text{g}[/latex]. As we said earlier, gravity varies depending on location and altitude on Earth (or any other planet), but the average acceleration due to gravity on Earth is 9.8 [latex]displaystyle frac{text{m}}{text{s}^2}[/latex]. This value is also often expressed as a negative acceleration in mathematical calculations due to the downward direction of gravity.
Equations

The best way to see the basic features of motion involving gravity is to start by considering straight up and down motion with no air resistance or friction. This means that if the object is dropped, we know the initial velocity is zero. Once the object is in motion, the object is in free-fall. Under these circumstances, the motion is one-dimensional and has constant acceleration, [latex]text{g}[/latex]. The kinematic equations for objects experiencing free fall are:
[latex]text{v}=text{v}_0-text{gt}text{y}=text{y}_0+text{v}_0text{t}-frac12text{gt}^2text{v}^2=text{v}_0^2-2text{g}(text{y}-text{y}_0),[/latex]
where [latex]text{v} = text{velocity}[/latex], [latex]text{g}=text{gravity}[/latex], [latex]text{t}=text{time}[/latex], and [latex]text{y}=text{vertical displacement}[/latex].
Free Fall Motion – YouTube: Describes how to calculate the time for an object to fall if given the height and the height that an object fell if given the time to fall.
Examples
Some examples of objects that are in free fall include:

- A spacecraft in continuous orbit. The free fall would end once the propulsion devices turned on.
- An stone dropped down an empty well.
- An object, in projectile motion, on its descent.
