Break Away Casino has gone too far

[spearmaster]

Gambling God, the requirement is not unfair if it is publicly posted. Think of it this way - if you deposited $10K, and won a few hundred on the first spin and thought "Better get out ahead", would it be fair for them to have to pay processing fees of as high as 8.9% (totalling $890) for the $10K deposited even though you only used a few bucks?

Deposit only what you are going to play - then play it through at least once - recognize the fact that the casinos DO have to go out of their way to accept your deposits, and pay you your winnings.

Sounds totally reasonable to me. In fact, I'm surprised the WR isn't higher!

I can't think of any legitimate reason why any player would make a deposit into a casino without intending to play it through at least once.

With several hundred casinos on the net, if you don't like it - go somewhere else!

Hey MacGyver, "Let the dice-roller beware" is your answer I suppose. In fact, this is a Gaius Marius's quote, who was a General in the Roman Army.

Watching documentaries regarding gambling seems to have had its effect on me

So can I have my Free points - I could really use some of these!

Hello everybody in Casino Meister land.

First off I would like to say its been great reading your best and worse of the previous years and found it a good read and it has helped me many times before promoting a casino im not too sure of. One one you better casinos ( Breakaway casino ) has done something I believe is going to far in the wager requirement field of fair gaming.

I am a firm beiliever that if you don't wish to play with wager requirements then you simply do not sign up for a bonus.

Breakaway Casino and I believe Sci-fi their sister site have put up a 1x playthrough on all deposits regardless if you do not claim any bonus.

I think they have simply gone too far by adding a 1x requirement before cashing out. Any thoughts ?

Thank you

Completely agree.

Money laundering?? Who cares anyway when the online casino itself is not
regulated in any way.

I believe that as a gambler it is my right to bring up something that I think is unfair, and restricting a player who recieves no deposit bonus is simply uncalled for and is in fact un fair gaming practice. Just because they tell you how it is, doesnt make it fair to gamblers.

I don't understand what is unfair about it. Doesn't the very fact that they tell you up front make it fair?

There are quite a few differences between land-based and online casinos, and I don't see why you pick this specific one to bash them about.

Let the gambler beware!!

This was the one I meant because "aleator" was given to me when I asked the Internet what the Latin word for gambler was.

And that's interesting, because I thought I just made it up yesterday!

Free rep points for all 3 of you!!

yet another BS rule and I for one thank you for bringing it to our attention, it's all too easy to say read the T&Cs but I play online casinos to have fun and not have to spend hours reading through T&Cs.

Thank you everybody who has replied so far. To agree or disagree I think its a good post which gives a good feeling of what people are feeling about online gambling. I should however point out that my intention was not to completly bash Breakaway Casino, but to show how disgruntled I am at the way rules continue to change and as gamblers we are forced to read a bunch of terms and conditions before depositing money.

4x playthrough at one casino, 50x playthrough at another and these are restrictions due to bonuses. I really could care less about a wager requirement on free bonus money. I think thats fair. But not on standard deposits. In regards to a procesing fee. I am pretty sure it cost them as much as it cost us to deposit via our neteller our payspark or whatever it is we deposit with.

If one casino sets up this 1x rule , then your going to find more and more doing it. I don't think we will be sitting back and letting it slide then. I play to win and I know that many who have never played at breakaway casino but were going to because of their fast payouts and good customer service have decided not to.

Thank you

Protection against money laundering is my guess. The trouble they'd be in for assisting this is far greater than losing the few players who don't like the rule. It's also good from an industry perspective that casinos show a cautionary attitude regarding legal responsibilities.

But as stated, it is clear on their site so fair play IMO.
