In my mind, it is NOT alright. It is wrong, and deceptive. I don't care how many times you claim an 80% bonus... it's still an 80% bonus.

Sheesh....

This is an accredited casino, please contact the rep here on the forum. This should be corrected.

I can't believe Club World would ever send out such bullshit as this - is must be some rogue ignorant affiliate
I hope they get closed down - and soon!

Well I know the one oldtrvlagt received is from CW themselves as I also received it and it was from Lauren at the usual email addy.

It is VERY poor form and blatantly misleading. I'm really disappointed. It's the kind of amateur tomfoolery you would expect from V1rtual or Rome or Affact1ve.

They probably just sent these offers out in haste as the cashier team and everybody else was in a real big hurry to get out of the office for the weekend I'm sure, lol.

The OP's posted email is also legit i.e. from CW themselves.

 

[LHofsdal]

I got the same thing, and I don't think it is from an affiliate.

It makes you wonder though, coming from a reputable group. Maybe it is just a typing error, or someone will find out it was sent out in error period. We have had that happen not to long ago too.

Some casinos offer 25% cash back on your deposits. Just wait until you've made 4 deposits and send them off a PM.

4 deposits x 25%.

I would like 100% of my deposits back. Thanks.

Thanks for all your input!
I have alerted the rep to this, maybe they will offer a comment.

Thanks.

Hi All,

Yes I agree - this one is a definate no no. You can sum the total bonus amount (claim up to $4000 in bonus chips) but you cannot sum the percentages (claim up to 400% in coupons) - as you quite rightly point out the math does not work this way.

This was sent out by someone on our promotions team who is still relatively new to this and i have explained why this is a problem to him. I have also shown this thread to everyone else in the department so this will not be repeated.

Kind Regards
Tom

PS - Apologies for not getting involved sooner - i have just got back from my annual leave.
