Can anyone make sense of this??????

Maximum Level of Play:


Players must wager at least 15 times the amount of their first deposit and 12 times their consecutive purchases in order to cash-in any amount of their real money balance. For the bonus to kick in, they must wager the same amount of times or spend 95% of their deposit when trying to meet wagering requirements. Players who attempt to cash out any winnings prior to having met wagering requirements will have their bonus cancelled and this process cannot be undone. Bonus credits may not be cashed in and must be put into play once received. As soon as players have met their wagering requirements they are entitled to Cash out the winnings and play their bonus.

AND:

BONUS ABUSER RULES
The online casino industry is aware of this phenomenon and in the process of establishing a black list for players categorized under these criteria’s. On line casinos offer bonuses to enhance the entertainment level and increase customer playtime in the casino just as land based casino’s offer certain incentives to their loyal and serious gamers. Bonus abusing takes place when the player has no intention to use the casino for entertainment but to try and manipulate an un-fair advantage. This will not be tolerated and a players deposit will be returned and balances cleared.

Thanks for the laugh

Notice the term is OFFER and not FORCE, which is the wording they should use. Ludicrous. = /

They are the ones "manipulating an unfair advantage". Anyone foolish enough to take their manditory "10% deposit bonuses" is an idiot. Why would anyone depositing say $50.00 want to have to comply with these playthrough requirements for a lousy $5.00? The fact that taking the bonus is mandatory plus the notice regarding BONUS ABUSERS, indicates how unethical they are. How can you be a Bonus Abuser when you are FORCED to take the bonus everytime you deposit.

They shouldn't just be rouged, they should be shut down

Can't believe this casino is listed everywhere as APPROVED!!!

The SUB is 100% bonus up to $1000. Where did you see 10%?

[footdr]

100% is the INITIAL DEPOSIT BONUS, WELCOME BONUS

Then they give you 10% bonus on every deposit. That is what I didn't want. They added the welcome bonus on my first deposit even though I said I didn't want it. So before I made an additional deposit in 1/06 I emailed support and they agreed not to credit anymore bonuses on my deposits.

Then my account was deactivated because I had not logged in for so long. When I had it reacitivated they refused(per chat above) to not give me the 10% bonuses

Also, they will add "special bonuses" that you did not claim. They also won't remove the bonus even if you have not played your deposit yet

See the chat: the email I received in Jan. 2006 says they would set up my account so I would not receive deposit BONUSES.

then he says the email I got was incorrect.

I thought I recognised those odd looking rules, and I was right, it's a Winward clone.
Perhaps if you tell them you are a bonus abuser they might find a way to set up the account to not receive them
A better idea would be to not play here, Winward occasionally have payment issues, and have gone downhill since I took their SUB and doubled my dollars
Their bonus system is quirky, but if you are patient it is possible to "do" the bonus in an advantage kind of way (the quirk is similar to one at the long defunct "Lucky Chance" casino - pity they had cheating software though). Once done, don't bother with the 10% regular ones.

I like the use of the greengrocer's apostrophe, especially in the word "criteria's". It just shows what a classy place this casino is.
