    Thumbs down Rival Bonuses - taking after Virtual?

    I just got an offer out that's AWESOME!

    Receive a 1000% bonus on deposits of $100-$200.
    Max cashout = 1x the bonus amount.
    Wagering requirements = 150x (Yes, 150x) deposit + bonus!

    So, if I deposit $100, I start with $1100 and have to wager $165,000 in order to be able to cash out $1,000 max...sounds good, eh? Let's put it in perspective.

    That's 16,500 spins at $10 a pop, or 33,000 spins at $5 a pop.

    If you're starting with $1100, it's suicide to start at $10 a pop, seeing as how it's Rival slots we're talking about.

    As the title states, I think the marketing manager for Virtual is now working for certain Rival casinos..At least with Virtual, there was a 10x max cashout rule in place...

    This goes for all casinos - Quit insulting our intelligence by sending us offers such as this. We're not that stupid.

    Please let me tell you we agree with you. I'm sorry to say that was Vegas Regal Casino. This was a mistake on our end, and we will make sure it doesn't happen again.

    As always your satisfaction is our #1 Concern. . We have changed the bonus to 60x playthrough.


    I wish everyone who takes it luck! I apologize for the issue and would also like clarify 1x max cash on bonus is the same as 10x deposit.

    We issue new bonuses constantly, so a certain margin of error is forgivable hopefully? We also promise to always pay close attention to what you have to say... since we know we would be nothing without our players!

    P.S. We do pay players. All our players. On Time. Every time.

    Kind Regards,

    60x is much more reasonable considering the % of the bonus....

    But on the other hand, a 1x max cashout on a 1000% bonus with a $200 deposit is only 5x....

    1000% bonus is virtual-like but did they cap max cashout at 1x bonus with the bonus being uncashable. I cant remember.

    You are unlikely to win from the bonus offers at Vegas Regal given the hefty WRs. However, you do get a lot of entertainment and if you do get lucky, there will be no problems with getting paid. Furthermore, even table games are allowed and this lets you to increase the size of your bankroll though they contribute little to WRs.

    However, no way will I deposit $100 for the bonus in question. I might if the min deposit is $25 since it's very unlikely you will be able to cashout especially when the bonus is uncashable

    1,000% Bonus with 1x max cashout on Bonus means that a $200 deposit will have a $2,000 Max... so still 10x. Sorry if I wasn't clear and thank you for bringing this to our attention. You helped spot it quickly!

    You are totally right. But we do offer lower bonuses with low playthrough and easy restrictions. In the end it depends on player type. I know players who would play through 60x even if the WR are 30x or even 15x. So we tend to design the larger bonuses for those players and smaller ones for people who want to cash out the fast as soon as they hit a good streak!

    Different strokes for different folks I guess.

    As ChuChu alluded to, I would also love to see some large bonuses for smaller ($20-$100) deposits..

    I saw that bonus earlier too and was really hoping that the wager requirement stated was in fact a mistake. I'm glad to also see that Nicolas agrees and has already fixed it in the cashier! I might just have to give that 66k wager requirement a run for the money a little later today..

    I would never accept an offer like this as I regularly get $100 deposits up over $1k.

    I got a free $100 chip up to $3k the other day after 100 times play through and kicked myself I did not play with my own money. I had lost over $1k in this Rival casino in 2 weeks because their slots paid me zip. Suddenly I take a free chip and cannot lose even when I try.

    I like Rival games but refuse to play when their bonus requirements are so steep. Who friggin cares about a 600% bonus when cashout is 2 times bonus and playthrough is 60 x b & d - SERIOUSLY
