Crystal Palace - when a string is not a string!

[KasinoKing]

I got a CD & letter by snail-mail from Crystal Palace.
So I opened it up and it said:-
We're giving you $100 comps absolutely free with no strings attached! *
* Conditions apply

Sounded too good to be true, but I checked the T&C's anyway:-
To cash out you must wager the bonus x60 (Hmmm.. sounds a bit stringy!)
Roulette, Baccarat & Craps do not count (Has a slight odor of string...)
Blackjack & Video poker only count 50% (There's an element of string in there too!)

Obviously Crystal Palace have a different definition of 'No strings attached' to the rest of the world!

I'd hate to take one of their other bonuses that DOES have strings!

PS: And another thing - I wouldn't trust their craps either - there's something mighty strange about their dice! To start with the 2 is opposite the 3 and the spots layout is well weird!
From their homepage:-

Definitely wrong!!!


Both side of a dice should add up to 7

And bet they have a magnet under the roulette wheel

Got the same letter from Crystal Palace. I thought what the Hell,"no buy in needed". So I ran the dysk, got my $100, and started playing pai gai poker. I had very good luck. MY WR was $5000 or 50 times the bonus. When I hit it I was up $600. Cashed out $500, and lost the other $100. Got a check in ten days.

WTG!
Don't get me wrong - this is a generous bonus - and I'll be having a go at it later.
My only complaint was about their 'no strings' when there obviously are!

how do they survive with such a bad rep? Just about every gambling site out there lists them as a nasty.

well sometimes its pays to be danish anyway since we are banned from this group. I wonder why a rogue casino would use time to ban anyone anyway

How can you decide to go at crystal palace when you know almost for sure that if you win you wont get paid?
