A letter to the casinos

[kimss]

After wagering at casinos and losing a fortune the last yeays I just felt like sharing some thought to you - the casinos. Whenever I lose over a period of time I always kindly ask the CS for a manager bonus to feel warm and welcome in the casino, and usually this is met with a bonus - since after all - I am an overall loser and you have no ways of pleasing me except credits anyways.

So, what's the point here. Well, we all know that you want customers. You want people wagering, you have a house edge, and therefore you want me spinning those wheels since I will be a loser in the end most likely. (sure I can have fun during the stay, but you get my point).

The problem, say I should be so lucky that I accually win. Like I did a few weeks ago in Red Flush. (I onlu mention this since this forum already knows this, I made a thread on my great win). I also know that the policy is pretty much alike, which is why I post here.

When asking CS for a little manager bonus to keep my interest since I deposited 1K after the win without more cashouts I get the expected answer taht because I won I don't get any more manager bonus. That is - between the lines - I would - however I need to lose more than I have taken out...

For me as the player - this tells me one thing. Why on earth would I want to continue wagering at Red Flush now that I already won? Say I deposit another 1000 dollars and up the wager, I have nothing to get back. If I play at whatever other casino I can atleast ask for some bonus. What if I deposit 4K? I would still not get any bonus from Red Flush, however all other casinos would happily give me some.

Needless to say, unless I win lot's at another casino I have no business in depositing at Red Flush anymore given I won. This is to me a sad reality, and I cannot really understand why a casino would have this policy? By giving me a little bonus, I would be happy and keep wagering, which would result in losing most likely like other players. Why is this a problem?

I rest my rant!

Or....just don't use bonuses. I'm relatively bonus free since 1998 and lovin' it

Never have to be bothered with wagering requirements - can play any game I want any way I want. Never had to bitch and moan with a PAB

And I never feel jilted or ignored by a casino because they don't offer me a special bonus. I don't care - and they know it!

I am like you Meister on not taking a bonus. I like to have control of when and the amount that I can cashout.

Some people just love them bonuses.I prefer No Bonus.If I make a deposit I know I can cash-out any time or day.
If you feel that lucky and you know your going to hit something great the bonus is all good.
Some people live by them & some don't
Just like at Vegas Sky I hit one for $900.00 so that made me close to the requirement I needed & cashed out that $152.00 max on that bonus offer.that they have.

I read OP's rant to mean he wanted a freebie after a big loss - not a match bonus.

I stopped using bonuses after I played 140,000 at a casino, asked for a free chip, they gave me $25.00, I won 4,000 with it and they never paid me my money, they said I could cash out $25.00, how would that make anybody feel??

Luigi, what casino was that ??

[lauriejim]

when i make a fresh deposit, i will never take a bonus with it now , on the other hand if i have spent X amount of dollars and i consider myself to be a regular customer of good standing at that casino ,you can bet your butt im going to ask for a freebie, when i have lost a great deal of money and they have earned my custom, i see nothing wrong in asking for it...................laurie

I don't take bonus's unless they force it in your account when they do that I email an ask for it to be removed sometimes they do sometimes they won't remove it if they don't I never deposit there again

I have never ever asked for a freebie no matter how much I have won or lost they don't owe us a darn thing that would be like asking your electric company or car loan hey I have paid 11 months in a row now let me have the 12th month free

or the grocery store hey I buy here all the time let me have a free ride

nope just not in me

but hey thats me

paying ones car payment, light bill and living items(grocerys) are are not the same as online gaming,when asking for a freebie imo , online gaming is entertainment with the chance to cashout if you are lucky, its no different from a b/m casino, they will send you offers, rooms, comped meals, ect. the only difference is you see these people that pay you at a b/m face to face when they pay you right on the spot, so if i spend alot at a online casino and have had a bad run, yes i will ask for a free comp, but hey thats just me...............laurie
