There was no warning while connecting to game application.
Pulling the offer for NEW players is not too bad, and is often allowed for. HOWEVER, changing the terms retrospectively for EXISTING players is clearly unethical. It seems not only did they do this, but set a new expiry date that has already passed, giving existing players no chance to complete the offer.
Reward type offers are given on trust, players do not get their bonus up front, and cannot therefore use traditional "abuse" tactics on it, however, they have to trust that the reward will indeed be paid to those players who signed up for it, and the terms that apply should be those at the point the player signed up.
These cases bring the whole reward based system into disrepute, yet it protects casinos from traditional "abuse" tactics, such as leverage with bonus money used in initial large wagers on 50/50 outcomes. By behaving in this way, players will again want their bonus upfront, where they can see it BEFORE they commit their deposits to the required playthrough.
The truth of this allegation is easy to verify, just by looking at the changed T & C for the promotion, and concrete proof can be obtained using the internet "wayback machine", a repository of old web pages with dates of sampling. Several casinos have been rumbled for such retrospective changes by this method, even though they have pretended the terms had "always been that way". Mostly, these have been the rogues.
