    You are right by the way, there's hardly any advantage in doing it this way over separate rounds.

    All this stuff about being a 'bonus abuser' and his country having a bad rep crap. You either break terms or you don't. In my opinion the OP hasn't as i'm sure most people would agree that different positions on a BJ table are separate bets.

    just to add a little offtopic "discrimination", it looks like heador112 is the best example for a typical german smartass with too much freetime or other small things..
    Wow thats a useful post for this topic . Well its better to be a smartass then dumb f*ck like you .


    Playing at betway was always a great experience and i have won in total more then 12.000 Dollars there and was paid without any problems . All my cahsouts were processed within 48 hours (excluding weekends ) . .


    @thelawnet

    I will to waste my time for you so i make it short :
    That is not a very good analogy. It is better to wager 1 * $160 than 5 * $70, because in the former case the expected loss is only the house advantage * $160, whereas in the latter case it is the house advantage times $350.

    The bottom line is that you can generate exactly the same amount of variance by betting single-hand as you can multi-hand, you just need to play more hands. The significance of that is fairly minor, when you consider that the expected loss is close to zero either way you look at it.

    The player could have made that even closer to zero by playing video poker (which has higher variance), or a different blackjack game with lower house edge.
    I dont agree . The player placed in a single round a 350 dollar bet and therefore violatet the terms and conditions .




    Nonethless there are large casinos that have a sufficient mass of players not to worry about this. I don't see any such terms at the major UK-facing casinos.
    The UK has alot of bonus abuser and fraudster communities thats why alot of Casinos exclude them . Note that even UK forced Casinos have changed rules in the past 32Red for example made excluded a Blackjackversion relatet to a high rate of bonus abuse and limited the betsize during bonus play .

    Its just logical that the industry have to change promotionstructures to limit the number of abusing players .




    Why confuse things, when the player didn't play video poker or slots, he played blackjack? As a matter of fact if you play multi-hand video poker at playtech, each hand is considered separately in playcheck. Slots are different again because there is often some sense of state (free spins will re-trigger at a different level).

    There is plenty of evidence that multi-hand blackjack is different from other games - a casino offering multi-hand video poker will set lower coin sizes for players playing more hands, on roulette it is common to set the maximum bet for the sum of all bets on the table, but on multi-hand blackjack each hand is separate, and optional - you can participate in as many hands as you like, and bet max bet on each one (if your balance is sufficient).

    I think you are confusing me with you. You said (in not so many words) 'he is Russian, they are all bonuys abusers', I pointed out that this is a stereotype, and then you followed this up with a stupid comment about The Sun.
    I didnt say that if you are not able to see that its your problem not mine . You may think about your first comment why i made this comment .


    Finally i can say that Betway is a reputable place if you dont break any rules . Well if your main purpose is to exploit online gaming promotions its probaly not the best place

    You keep on talking about exploiting casinos etc but the fact is this customer has not exploited anything as they have followed the rules. Betway should not have ambiguous terms too, they are in the wrong.

    Also you seem more like the dumb fuck if you gamble thousands dollars

    Please keep the acerbic comments as internal dialogue. If this continues, I won't be happy and I'll start handing out free passes to the detention area.

    In a single round 5 $70 bets. Not a $350 bet. He bet on five separate events - there can be no argument about that. In a single round yes, but that is not what the wording says.

    You've completely missed my point. Some of the largest, most successful casinos, such as Ladbrokes are FOCUSED on the UK, and they don't bother with these terms, and you don't hear about them getting into disputes about the ambiguous meaning of their terms.

    Maybe. But like I said, there are plenty of large successful casinos that simply don't have these kind of rules to break. A really reputable casino makes it so that it is not possible for the player to accidentally break the rules in this way.

    The problem in this case is the vague wording of Betways T&C and their loosely interpretation on a case by case basis.

    The main question is clearly, why does Betway use such vague T&Cs and why are the not preventing too big bets by adjusted tablelimits for bonus users, as setting tablelimits its a simple feature of the microgaming software?

    The answer is easy, they want to have a little joker to void some of the bigger winners, increasing their revenue through the backdoor.

    The bonus Terms of a casino should have no room for any kind of interpretation that may lead to the confisciation of winnings. If a casino deliberately uses such vague terms to void winnings, it is clearly a rogue behaviour and should be penalised. If a casino has succes with this kind vague terms, other casinos will follow shortly!

    You should consider to withdrawl the money to your bank account, it would be a shame if you loose it back too quickly, as it looks like you have a very compulsive personality...

    Maybe. But like I said, there are plenty of large successful casinos that simply don't have these kind of rules to break. A really reputable casino makes it so that it is not possible for the player to accidentally break the rules in this way.

    Not so, unfortunately. They have introduced such a term by using a sneaky "back door" method. Neteller deposits now either do not qualify for promotions, or have to be wagered TWENTY TIMES more than other deposits in order to qualify. Neteller is primarily a UK and Europe facing web wallet, since they do NOT take customers from either of the two main online gambling markets, Canada and the US. Neteller also block quite a few other countries from using them for gambling transactions.

    It seems that too many casinos are taking the lazy option, even though there ARE tools available to prevent what they see as "abuse". Betway, for example, could simply have used the software feature that limits bets whilst a bonus is in play, and set a max of 10 chips (50 total) per position on multi-hand blackjack. The OP could never have made this 70 chip per position bet in the first place, even though the terms were ambiguous enough to suggest it was allowed.

    Reputable casinos should be using EVERYTHING at their disposal to PREVENT breaches and manipulations of promotions, and NOT relying on their power to confiscate winnings after the fact "by management decision".

    Players should have software that makes it IMPOSSIBLE to place bets outside of those allowed for a particular promotion. This should have been implemented long ago, considering that promotions have played such a MAJOR part in online gambling since the very beginning.

    Do you really mean that you are from Germany and you think it`s a good idea to discuss what people from different regions are known for? Isn`t this called discrimination?

    I think that this statement of yours is definitely a racist statement. So you want to say that if the russian gambler and the german gambler play the same betting pattern then ,according to your racist logic ,the russian has more chances to be accused of bonus abuse than the german? Just because he is russian? Using some analogy, if the russian and the german are caught shoplifting then you ,as a racist judge, will put the russian in the jail for a couple of years and will let the german go home stating that he has just made a mistake.
