Possibly it is because he himself keeps presenting the incidents differently, expressing himself unclearly and thus creating a false impression.

ThePogg has already addressed the issue ( https://thepogg.com/complaint/adler-225-000e-jackpot-is-frozen/ ) and unsurprisingly decided in favor of the casino.
Considering the facts (see link), there is no other option:

Player deposits 100€ and receives 100€ bonus. He immediately wagers 12€/spin and falls below 100€ balance, and thus into the bonus balance, with which the absolutely usual bonus guidelines apply. I hardly know any casino anymore that does NOT keep a 5€/spin Max Bet Rule on bonus credits. It's a mystery to me how the TE could even get the idea to exceed the max bet rule by 7€ from the beginning.

From the moment the TE falls into the bonus balance (i.e. below 100€) and bids more than 5€/spin, bonus and all following wins are null and void. Every casino has these terms and every casino also implements them in the case of obviously intentional behavior (here present). The most accommodating thing a good casino still does in case of intentional Bonus abuse is to refund the Deposit or give the customer a "fresh start", here: 100€ + 100€ bonus.

So it doesn't matter that the TE received the Jackpot win with INTENTIONALLY played through, wagered "former bonus money", because the Bonus money was never played through, as it was null and void from the 1st spin.
Every casino would have decided like this.

It is of course understandable that the player is now looking for any possible loophole, e.g. clearly formulated terms and conditions (point 18) reworded, which are not at all applicable to his case. This is therefore probably also due to his poor knowledge of English, which does not make the whole thing easier.
Nevertheless, the TE remains guilty of the answer, how he can come at all on the idea to bet with a bonus 12€ per spin from the first second - knowing that absolute industry standard 5€ / spin maximum are. I can only explain this to myself by intention - after a six-figure "win" the dilemma is now of course big and I bet the TE could bite himself in the butt for his scatterbrained behavior.
Even if I think it can give little comfort: for about 70%, a big gambling win is not a win in the medium term, but the worst loss of their lives, in the worst cases even literally.

Nevertheless, I wish the TE all the best and good luck should he want to take the case to a Maltese court.

P.S. By the way, the jackpot was not kept or ever received by the Adlercasino, but remained with netent and was later distributed to the next, rightful winner.
By the way, every casino is happy when one of their players wins a pooled Provider jackpot, because it is free advertising for the casino itself, without them having to pay the high win themselves, but they can advertise with it. So in this case, the Adlercasino would have benefited from awarding the jackpot to the player.

The MGA has decision-making authority and casinos licensed by it are bound by the MGA's decision. If the MGA had awarded the jackpot win to the player, the Adlercasino would have paid it out or otherwise lost its license. However, the MGA decided against the player and for the casino for understandable reasons, just like thepogg.

Just because there are nonsensical T&Cs does not mean they are legal.

Do you know every T&C of Facebook by heart? What if they have a clause inside that you agree that from now on any assets of yours will be transferred to Facebook? Do you think that would be legal?

This only to the advantage of the casino terms and conditions is also blessed by the MGA, which only shows even more that they are not interested in fairness, but are there more to protect the casinos.

Who plays on 12 euros per spin if he knew exactly that the play and win thereby becomes completely meaningless. Who pays 100 euros for play money without a payout option?
The 5€ rule is only known to insiders, about 90% of players have never heard of it. Even an acquaintance of mine who has been playing for years and for higher sums did not know the rule. His luck that he never fell into this trap.

I can not understand how you can be on the side of the casino in such a case.
But players probably get used to cheating as soon as you make it the law.

(National) law breaks T&Cs and that's fine. No T&Cs are allowed to be above the law, to that extent illegal clauses are not effective just because a private company writes them into their T&Cs.

Now, German law is difficult to apply to the T&Cs of an offshore online casino, because gambling is subject to the state monopoly in Germany, as is well known. Liabilities and claims are not enforceable.
It is comparable to this: The drug Dealer sells you drugs at the price of 5g, but you only receive 3g. The difference is not enforceable.

So the question is whether the T&Cs are in accordance with Maltese law. This might be difficult to judge, especially in this forum and even such by most German lawyers. Only very specialized lawyers who are familiar with Maltese law and gambling in general can probably give an assessment here. I guess you are more likely to find them in Malta than in Germany.
EDIT: The TE comes from Austria, where online gambling is probably not in a grey zone like in Germany.
Accordingly, the companies that offer their services in Austria have to comply with Austrian law with their terms and conditions, as far as I know.
The practical implementation before an Austrian court, however, is likely to be difficult. Possibly the court location is Malta anyway?!

From a moral point of view I would like to add the following:
If the TE had been awarded the Jackpot, the winner who had cracked the jackpot of about €60,000, which was now significantly smaller at that time due to the TE's previous "win", two days after the TE, would have been "cheated" out of the difference of about €165,000. The player playing in accordance with the rules, would have been cheated by someone who willfully or grossly negligently plays against the rules for a hefty sum (without ever knowing it, certainly.).
This should also be taken into account when considering morality.

In addition, the 100€ bonus from the casino is free money with another chance to win. If the TE had won something with his real money, he could have simply canceled the bonus. The real money is also not subject to the bonus conditions at any time.
So the bonus is an additional chance without any restrictions for the real money. The fact that this bonus must be subject to certain conditions is only understandable from the casino's point of view. The TE has massively not adhered to the conditions for this gift money.
