This is clearly wrong. That "trap" term is a PROMOTIONAL condition, and should appear in the PROMOTIONAL terms and conditions.

The terms in the general conditions is a very long winded way of excluding players from more than one bonus within the group, but does not directly say so, but uses a very high 100x WR which few players are likely to manage just on their first deposit & bonus.
Membership at one casino causes them to send you mailers for the sign-up bonus in the other three currently accepting new players. King Neptune casino is ALSO part of this group, but is run separately under the general Carmen Media operation, with it being a separate Carmen subsidiary to BelleRock.
Although the term mentions the other casinos, they are not listed. The multiple account part of the terms relates to multiple accounts at a SINGLE CASINO, not SINGLE accounts at each of the four casinos in the group. This makes the term more confusing, as both definitions of "multiple accounts" are used, but are intertwined without clarity as to which type of "multiple account" is being referred to.

This is on top of an avalanche of problems that BelleRock have inflicted on the community, which includes an advert that is unlawful under UK and EU advertising rules regarding misleading statements about their Lucky Nugget offer.
Since this player has had money confiscated for not ferreting out a promotional term buried under general terms, with a hard to find link, I see no reason to pull any punches when the CASINO makes a similar error in failing to make themselves aware of the rules regarding the advertising of consumer offers. The tems ARE there, they are on the government website, it is BelleRock's responsibility to read them before launching misleading advertising copy into the EU and UK market places.
There are ALSO rules governing such advertising contained within the UK Gaming Act, which came into force last September 1st, which cover offers to the UK market, and this would cover ANY OFFER that quotes the UK Pound as a player currency option, since this would CLEARLY be intended for UK consumption.
