    Are Paddy Power trying a bait and switch?

    Logged into my Paddy Power account and found this in my casino inbox:

    Turbo Charge Your Thursday!!

    Deposit anything between £/€50 and £/€200 using the Emerald Club exclusive promo code ppvipthunder and we will match it 100%!

    How to claim your bonus:

    (1) LOG IN to the casino and make your first deposit using promo code ppvipthunder

    (2) Play any of our eligible games and wager your deposit amount 25 times!

    (3) Once you have completed the wagering requirement your bonus will appear in your account!*



    As I haven't played for over two years I know I will not be a VIP and will not be in the 'Emerald Club'

    I am sure they will say this just a unintentional error but I would be very careful if you have recieved this

    I wouldn't be so concerned over the Emerald Club aspect than the bonus itself. It sounds like you won't get the bonus unless you can meet the WR on your original deposit first. Only then would you have satisfied Step (3). So what happens if you don't meet the WR under Step (2)? No bonus, and you held your deposit hostage against the WR for nothing?

    No you don't KNOW that.

    Why don't you ask them?

    If you claim the bonus code, it will show in the bonuses section whether it's worked or not.

    The good thing about bonuses like this is that if u win big u dont have to worry about wagering, since no bonus was actually credited =)
