Vesuvio, I opened a seperate thread because I was so happy and I felt like sharing my joy.
But my joy is gone now, because I just learned that Brandy is refusing to pay me!
They have this promotion this month called 'Test Drive x 10' where you send them 20$ through a web form and they open you an account (seperate from your main one) with 200$ in it. The catch is that you must reach a 19000$ balance before you can cash out. They also offer '2/20/reach 2000' and '200/2000/reach 180k' accounts.
From reading the terms, there was no doubt in my mind that this was available on more than one deposit. So I did make a 20$ deposit, got a 200$ account, lost, did it again, many times (25, I believe), until I hit the Royal Flush. After hitting the Royal Flush I emailed them, asking them to cashout my winnings (the cashier module is not available in those special accounts).
According to the rules of the promotion, I was supposed to be paid in 24 hours so, today, not having received my winnings, I emailed to inquire about my payment and the answer I just received is that they are not going to pay me because I broke the rules of the promotion by having multiple bonus accounts. They say that the rules state that only one account of each type is allowed per customer, which is not true. The rules don't say anything explicit like that at all.
Here are the rules :

A relevant bonus has also been added to the new account.

This shows that they were perfectly aware that they were creating multiple accounts. For me, it was a clear confirmation that they were welcoming more deposits. The emails containing each new account's username and password were signed by a number of different people, and they all took a different time to arrive so they weren't automatic emails, they were manually processed.
Brandy was willingly running this promo as repeatable apparently until they realized that it was getting out of hand (perhaps there were
other big winners, perhaps even a 180k winner) and they decided to back off.
Brandy has willingly accepted to open these account for me. All the time I was playing, every sign convinced me that I was doing exactly what was intended by this promotion. And now, they pay back my 500$ in deposits and act like this is the end of it.

Brandy denies my 20k Royal
), I'd be highly sceptical of someone posting about Brandy casino, given their practice of paying for votes and posts at forums, and that most winners aren't so keen to emphasise where they won.
