How long ago was this? I have a hard time believing that it cost more to process deposits than the minimum allowable deposit. I realize that you have to pay processors but it only takes seconds to submit an ewallet or credit card deposit and casinos don't spend a whole lot of time investigating deposits. McDonald's makes billions of dollars selling cheap burgers with very little profit per burger. They pay for staff, utilities, supplies, maintenance and an actual building for people to sit in and eat them.

This is the reality that casinos are just going to have to deal with. There is an enormous amount of players now and most of them are making small deposits. And this brings us back to the bonus problem. You just can't hand everyone who wants to toss 20 bucks in the pot and try to win 10,000 a huge bonus so they have a much better chance of accomplishing it. At least not without setting up a long list of rules and regulations to make it damn near impossible to do it.

And this is where the cheap dollar store bonus comes from. If you want a guaranteed amount of playtime for your 20 bucks you can take the 200% bonus and low roll all night. Just don't be disappointed when you find out your only allowed to withdraw a maximum of 5x your deposit and it takes 3 nights to clear the WR. You asked for cheap and you got it.
