It is grossly misleading on 2 points. "Win as much as you can" is plain wrong, and so is "keep your winnings".
The key is the fact that, legally, restricting the transfer to $50 (£50) is not consistent with the first statement, and the second is false since you have to wager 30x the transferred amount, and "keep" legally implies they are already yours to withdraw at will (and that would be a plain daft offer for any casino to give out).
Many advertisements embroider the facts, but legally they must NOT MISLEAD or LIE about the offer, heavy fines can result.

I agree unreservedly with VWM. However, this promotion is still being touted on this site by
CM, and I'm afraid I don't understand why. Is it not grossly misleading after all? Is there something we are missing?
The following post ....
by AKA23 on the 19th of November ... along exactly the same lines, does not seem to have been addressed by
CM, despite his response.

I think this is misleading way to state their promotion. You can win up to a $50 bonus from the $1000 free play... not exactly "win as much as you can." So if you get a nice win and end $5000 above your starting balance, you only get to keep $50 in bonus winnings. And this $50 in bonus winnings cannot be cashed out. Instead you must wager it 30x on slots or keno, or 300x on blackjack or video poker. I don't think anyone would understand the actual (and less desirable) terms of the bonus from just the forum/newsletter announcement. They likely would not know the bonus terms from reading the Lucky Nugget website after clicking on the links either, as the terms are quite difficult to find.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll have them relook at the ad copy.
