City Club Casino Removed from Accredited Section

[Westland Bowl]

Joined City Club, a Playtech casino, today after seeing it on Casinomeister's Accredited Casinos list. Only after I joined did I see that they have extremely low maximum wager limits of $50 for blackjack, baccarat, and casino war, the only ones I've checked. So I now gotta meet wager requirements to get my money back! Damn trap! They shouldn't be in this business!!

Can't you check the table limits before depositing?

Why meet WR if you only want your deposit back? They're not going to hold your deposit solely for the fact of you taking a bonus and not playing through it.

Well, yeah, I shoulda done that but I've never had this low of a maximum bet at a Playtech casino before sooo....

Since you can't count cards online, I don't know why they have such a policy.

I understand your frustration. 50$ must be a joke.

I complained through their online support about it and said that I wouldn't have joined if I knew about the low maximum bet limit. Then I asked, "How can I get my $99 (deposit) back?" Answer: "You have to meet wager requirements".

I'll just make a withdrawal and have them to take out the bonus and the $10 I won.

Yep, and if you ask me, this is a place that needs to be rogued because of this action. You don't tell someone they need to wager their deposit before withdrawing even if they don't make a single bet.

Just curious, does their "play" mode reflect the "real" house limits?

The bonus policy explicitly states that if you withdraw before WRs are met you will forfeit the bonus and winnings implying that your deposit should remain intact. I suppose they could charge you a fee for costs incurred thru your deposit if you didnt place a single bet though.

The maximum bet seems absurd for high rollers who are given a measly 20% bonus but IMO are acceptable for ordinary depositors who claim 100% match bonus up to $100. If you are placing a $50 bet, you are already playing with 50% of your deposit.

Universexf6,

This is the first time that I have seen an online casino singling out Japanese players from receiving bonuses. Any idea on why this is so?

No, in fun or play mode, the maximum limits on blackjack, baccarat, and casino war is $300, which I could live with in real money mode.

In City Club's eyes, the trade off is a low wager requirement of 20x your deposit plus bonus up to a maximum wager requirement of $4,000 and all games are allowed. Bonus on first deposit is automatic. But what if you don't want the bonus? The $50 maximum bet limit still stands. Pish posh and all that.

I understand that most casinos wont give you the bonus if you ask them not to do so before making your deposit. Even for auto-bonuses, this should also apply as long as you havent placed any bets. If they tie you to the WRs because of the automatic bonuses and you havent started to play yet, they should be rogued.

And hey, I remember it was the other way round at cryptos. The maximum bet was $50 in fun mode but much greater in real mode.
