Can someone answer this question for me..."The Gaming Club"

[just play]

I received an email from "The Gaming Club" that says buy $50 get $50, then it says there is a 72 hour waiting period (who wants to wait 3 days before playing?)

So I email them and ask them if I can play with the first $50 while waiting for the second $50 to get into my account...

I waited more then 24 hours for an answer and still never got the answer I was asking about!!!

What is so hard about answering a simple question...can I play with my first $50 and still get the bonus??? Also do I have to wager 30x on just the bonus $50 or both the deposit and bonus?


Why can't casinos have simple rules

I got the same offer and I went busto. Anyhow all it means is no wagers will count toward the bonus requirements until it's actually in your account. That being said, you can of course play with your deposited $50. "Within" 72 hours is the keyword here. It can arrive sooner than 72 hours. My bonus arrived in a couple of hours (5 - 7).

I deposited $50, entered my email address. I waited couple of hours. And my balance was $100. You don't have to wait the couple of hours to play. You can still play with that $50. Just know that the wagering requirements will not count.

I just called them, and they told me it would count? (not that i can ever understand what they are saying, but that's what i thought the woman said) Why would someone want to wait hours to play after depositing?? It makes no sense...

Why indeed would ANY casino want to be tellling customers to wait 72 hours before playing, thats another 72 hours the casino has to wait for the profit


Oddly enough, till recently B&M casinos here in the UK had to tell new customers to go away and come back 24 hours later before they were allowed to play, they didn't like this as they made less profit - it may have been a good thing for the customers though, no spur of the moment gambling spree after a night out on the town!

I often get this email offer. I beleive that if you claim the bonus, which should be on the homepage when you log into the casino, it should only take an hour or so. For some reason if you claim it through the email link it can take up to 72 hours. I play right away! I could never wait to play!

I called them again, and while I was on the phone with the man, the $50 bonus popped up in my account (it was literally like 5 minutes after I made the claim)...I must have been asking too many questions...lol.

I don't know how I did it, but I met the requirements and now have $300 bucks in my account!!!

I have been playing all night...I was down to my last $5 and went to Thunderstruck and hit $90 on something...I think it was those blue things. and that started me going up and up.

It is past midnight here, so now I must go to bed...hopefully tomorrow I can hit something really good! I'm dying to post a winning screen shot!

WTG! Congrats on some good play. And ... ummm... it's none of my business.... but don't forget where the cashout button is! I'd hate to see the casino get it all back....

Good luck!
