Christmas Treats From The Places You Play!..

[Slotster!]

Well, only two weeks to go!

It's that time of year when we encourage peace and goodwill to all men, sing carols - and exchange gifts with our respective families and friends.

Most importantly however - it's when our favourite casinos show us how generous they are!

After twelve months of loyal patronage, tis the season for casino's to fill our postboxes with gifts and our balances full of joy

So... Post your casino gifts here! What have you had? What did you get? What are you expecting???

Up to now I've had...

ZERO!

Still early days I suppose, and I have cut down my 'places to play' dramatically this year - so I'm eager to see what everyone gets!

Merry Christmas!

 

[hbears341]

Nothing yet.

 

[Macgyver]

I got some coal in my stocking from the U.S. Congress a few months ago.

 

[me_and_ed]

So far the same as I got last year, 0.

 

[mikepipe]

i got a pen (cross, maybe of some 15-20$ worth) from villento vegas.
Nice - have played there only once - and lost.

 

[silcnlayc]

I got a new DVD-VHS recorder/player from my horse racing company..love it! nice combo...and lot less space to use too.

 

[Addisyn]

I received a very nice tee shirt from VIP.com. It is red and has their logo on it. Erm... Maybe that was advertising!

 

[soflat]

Nothing.

There were some good holiday bonuses last year, but most of those places don't want US players anymore. So I don't expect much.

 

[Mousey]

Zilch! Nada, nothing, not even a hint of a 'treat'.

If I do get anything this year, it will truly be a surprise as I haven't concentrated my play at any particular casino, and have no upper level loyalty status anywhere anymore. I don't deposit anywhere near as much as in years past and I stay pretty much under the casino marketing radar these days (exception: see my post in 'what is a bonus abuser' thread). Mousey is a peon.

(Brings back fond memories of the Xmas I won a huge 26 pound package of Xmas goodies. Oodles and oodles of See's candies, and other stuff... Ahhhh... those were the days... )

 

[Simmo!]

I've had an unexpected $250 gift in one account on Friday evening though it wasn't stated that it was specifically for Xmas

 

[Macgyver]

Actually just got a nice little ballcap just today from a place I still play at (since they still take US players) ...

Only problem?

The damn thing is too small (or I've got too big a head)!

(cue Simmo comment here)

 

[max1mike]

im with Mousey here....nothing. although an RTG casino did lock me out cuz afteri had signed up , they saw i was from the US, so, maybe that was a good thing.

Haha - I refuse to be predictable!


Oh...damn.

 

[Slotster!]

Score Simmo!!! They're the best ones, when you log in and find a balance that you weren't expecting!

You're in the lead at the minute then! Any chance of naming the casino? I understand if not... I might add a poll to this list where you can vote anonymously yes/no if you received a christmas present from a specific casino.

Want to see which casino wins the Father Christmas award, and which the Ebeneezer Scrooge

 

[1819]

since i can only play at inet now and have been absolutely destroyed by them lately, except one small win, it would be nice if they threw a bone.

 

[tennis_balls]

I can't wait for that 5 litre keg of bier to show up on my doorstep from the meister.

Every time the doorbell rings I pray that it will be pinababy wearing a red ribbon.....and nothing else.

 

[Slotster!]

Wahoo! I got my first Christmas treat!!!

10 with 50x wagering requirements and a 200 max cashout - from a casino I uninstalled after playing once about eight months ago - and subsequently emailed to say remove me from all your databases/emailing lists.

I replied politely telling them where to 'deposit' their bonus

 

[vinylweatherman]

No Contest

No contest, BelleRock, without a doubt, for the 100 Free spins on Gift Rap, 1c, 1 line, 100 spins, $1 in total. Wager $1000 and deposit $55 to qualify.

You have a better chance of Simmo wearing a red ribbon.... and nothing else showing up at your doorstep...
(I heard that happened to slotster?? )


Suprisingly nothing from casinos but Ultimate bet Left me $10 in my account, as did absolute poker...

Thanks for that.

I'd only JUST managed to erase that image from my mind, now it's back to the cold sweats and endless sleepless nights.

 

[yameater]

I got some coal in my stocking from the U.S. Congress a few months ago.

Amen! Those lumps in congress dumped a whole truckload on us. I wonder if there is any chance of turning the truck around? We should write our representatives, U.S players.

 

[Simmo!]

What I do in the privacy of my own home is none of your business

Is this REALLY how it works?? I was gonna have a crack at this one but got distracted by a certain female family member saying something about needing the vast majority of my expendable cash for Christmas or something.....

Im glad I didnt if thats the deal - you would at least think you would get 100 spins x 25 lines x 1c.

I'm not expecting nothing, the only casino I was playing at was one of the Bellerock groups, and after seeing that promotion they did, I'm sure they aren't one to give out Christmas gifts.

I just started playing at another casino, but I have only made 2 small deposits, so I'm sure I won't get nothing from them either.

I MISS PLAYTECH!!!

 

[Simmo!]

That's a double negative. You should say "I am expecting fuck all" or "I am not expecting anything from those tight-arsed bastards"

Oops, your right...I meant to say, I am expecting a BIG ROD shoved up my ...


I just have to share this....I just received a promotion from a certain casino for using Click2Pay....Ummmm, I NEVER use Click2Pay and their records should show that. So that was a GREAT promotion for me.

 

[GrandMaster]

My 1st Christmas present was VIP membership and 200 bonus at Paddy Power. I have been extremely lucky there recently, I am starting to get worried that this might be the time when I lose it all back.

Sounds more like a Newfie than a Canadian. Oops, hope no Newfs reading, think thats a Canadians racial slur.

Lord tunderin Jesus bye....here we stand, side by each. OMG, too funny. I'm not a "Newfie", but I know alot of people from the East Coast, including my landlord. Very good natured people, and pretty hard to offend...so not to worry. My first husband was an East Coaster....but we won't go there. I tend to think he was the exception rather than the rule, at least I hope so.

 

[Pinababy69]

Does it have to be red TB? I just can't find anything suitable in red, and I don't have the shoes to match...unless Simmo has something he'd like to lend me.

Not until you give back the whip and frilly apron. Bitch.


PS..."newfie" ????

Ahhhh Simmo.....I love it when you talk dirty.

Newfie as in a person from Newfoundland. For many years, "Newfie" jokes were as popular as blonde jokes (up here in Canada eh). As a rule, the jokes had to do with intellect (or lack of). Funny thing is that some of the funniest ones I ever heard were from Newfies themselves, lol. Us Canadians are pretty thick skinned, and know how to laugh at ourselves. I do it everyday!!

Edited to add that "Newfies" have a slang dialect, which is what my post above referred to, lol. Not funny when you have to explain. Something like you and your Brit slang...ya know?? Blimey!!

This week I got 2 holiday cards in the mail, from VIP casino and Jackpot Factory. Lost deposits at both in October and never looked back. Curiously, I did win at another Crypto. I've never won at MGs.
VIP's is a "countdown to x-mas" with 12 bonus days and CD in case I accidently uninstalled.
JF's card is colourful, quite tasteful. Inside is a $10 stocking stuffer bonus.

Who said anything about shoes or any other clothing? The ribbon will do fine.

I'll be sure to bring a camcorder if you come to Vegas...I'm sure I could make a fortune selling those videos online!

If you speak to me again, I'll accept that as your signature for the release form

Does body language count as speaking?

I wonder how many more threads I can derail?

Only thing I got so far was a cirrus vanity card for $50. In all the years I have played though I never really got any christmas bonus unless it was something being offered to everyone like at inet.

[Slotster!]

Little Xmas gift from 32RED - who else? Hurrah!

(Sorry USA People)








(You could always emigrate I suppose)







(Mind you, the weather isn't great here in December)








(Or anytime for that matter...)










(Although we did have a reasonable summer this year...)









(I got quite a nice tan actually.)

Don't worry, global warming is coming.

So far, I think I've had one X'mas offer of 10 spins at Avalon from VIP Lounge (Jackpot Factory) - strangely enough, a casino I haven't played at that often.

Amazingly - NONE of my favorite casinos seem to have given me any gifts despite what I consider to be a fairly large sum of deposits. This could possibly be because some of them have my old email address (and upon entering the software you don't find out about your free spins unless you happen to click on the right game).

I guesstimate I have about $10K or more in losses this year from deposits of over $20K - so needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed as this is more than twice what I spent last year and there is less to show for it.

In Vegas, I dropped a quick $8K in four days but I guarantee that there will be a suite at the Wynn and limo and free meals waiting for me next year (this year I managed to get the suite without having shown them boo - thanks GG).

Combine that with much better cashback and comps, and instant payouts, and it kind of dismays me that the ONLY advantage that online casinos have, other than being available any time, is that their slot paybacks are probably better.

Ah well, guess it's just as well my Neteller is empty, because I ain't depositing any more money from my bank account... especially to chase 100 free spins worth nothing

 

[max1mike]

i spoke too soon...i just got a nice glossy card from jackpot factory...a whopping ten...yes, you read that right ten whole dollars.

which, unfortunately is $10 more than i have received from anyplace else

 

[max1mike]

especially to chase 100 free spins worth nothing

oh come on spear....aren't you being a bit harsh?...some people here have taken advantage of that all too generous offer and have managed to make some serious cash...didn't you see the screenie of the massive 62 cent win?

 

[jenn1381]

Got $10 from jackpot factory... haven't played there in a long time so I'm happy with it. Of course, none of the places I frequent often have given anything as of yet. Guess that always seems to be the way

 

[spearmaster]

oh come on spear....aren't you being a bit harsh?...some people here have taken advantage of that all too generous offer and have managed to make some serious cash...didn't you see the screenie of the massive 62 cent win?

Bloody huge, that

In Thailand, that's 4 meals... 4 packs of instant noodles, that is... or two bottles of water (4 if you don't mind the fact that it might not be properly filtered).

In the US, UK, or Japan, that's not even enough to buy a bottle of water!

So forgive me if I seem a bit harsh

 

[me_and_ed]

I got a ten spot from Inet (thanks Emily), but I dont think it is for Xmas.

 

[silkprint]

I got a $25 card from Jackpot Factory . Did pretty well with it and played for 2 days
