~~~ This doesnt apply to me as Ive made deposits previously at other casinos in the group, so shouldnt be a problem.

Yes, that was the term I was referring to.
I previously thought it meant only one SUB across the group.

But now I've read it over & over again, and I just don't get it (mega blond moment? )

To shorten it:
If you've never deposited at CR, you can only claim 1 S.U.B. in the group.

To switch the negatives to positives:
If you have deposited at CR, you can claim ALL the S.U.B.'s

So the only way I can interpret that is:
The first time you deposit to a CR casino you can only claim one bonus across the group.
(i.e. you can't open accounts at more than one casino & claim more than one SUB at the same time)
But once you've done one, you can open new accounts & claim S.U.B.s at all the others, all on the same day if you want!

I'm not sure that's right... Help!

LOL. I only met them on Thursday and they explained it to me. Should've listened but you know me and bonuses

Anyway, the impression they gave me was, you can take this once even if you have accounts at other CR casinos already, as long as it's not the one you are signing up for. Unfortunately the guys I met are on a plane on the way home to Oz right now but I'll drop 'em an email pointing to this thread for clarification.

Thanks for all the feedback peeps

Ive read this again and have a different spin:

In the event that you have not made a deposit at this or any other Casino Rewards member casino, you may not redeem more than one sign up bonus within the Casino Rewards network, regardless of the individual casino offering the sign up bonus.

I actually had to make a deposit anyway to claim the free spin winnings, so that would count as the 'deposit at this casino' part I would think.

Gee I wish they would make it a little clearer

Ok this is the response I got from CR:

Was a looooong flight back home for us, but we landed this morning and the jetlag has started to kick in, so excuse me if the below response is a bit unclear – I’ll do my best.

With the $500 free spins or the one hour free spins you can get each bonus only once per casino under the CR umbrella. However, you do have to purchase at least once (on any casino you wish) to receive the promo more than once.

So for example…

You come through to Blackjack Ballroom sign up for the freespins you win (up to a max of $200) then you have to make a purchase of at least $20 to claim your winnings. You can then sign up for say Captain Cooks and play the free hour there. Then play at Casino Classic and so on for all casinos in the group that offer freespins.

On Blackjack Ballroom (40% up to $400) and Golden Tiger (50% up to $250) you are also entitled to the sign up bonus even if you win or lose. On Casino Classic and Captain Cooks you get the sign up bonus if you lose on the free spins.

If you win the free spins, you have to make a min deposit to receive your bonus (usually $20 except for Cooks which is $50).

If you have an old account with say Blackjack Ballroom and sign up again then obviously you won’t be able to get the freespins (you can only get the sign on deal on joining).

Hope that makes sense – let me know if it’s unclear and I’ll try a better response on a less jetlagged day ;o)

Makes perfect sense to me

[Nifty29]

Yep - so the purchase I made to claim the free spins winnings qualifies me anyway - so its all good

Ty for the follow-up Simmo

Snow problem I actually met with them to discuss the $4k cashout max rule they have in place. That was quite an interesting conversation. They got hit big time by a fraud ring, put the cashout max in place to try and minimise damage in the future, but haven't been clear enough (IMO) on the rules and caveats. Should have that info sorted soon.

I have to say the fraud was quite subtle and very well organised and it makes you understand a bit more about why the casinos have to be so cautious. Just backs up my opinion that fraudulent players are legit player's worst enemies! It's a bit like insurance scams - we all nod and smile but at the end of the day, it's our rising premiums that end up paying for the cheats.

Am i sounding like a shill yet?

A bit of a shill, but me too mate. a casino treats me good, i tell it like it is, don't I? If not, I guess it just goes to show bobs your uncle, donut? There's only one I would have em kick out and it didn't bugger me off enough to remember the name..

As long as the CR people treat every customer like they were GOLD, I'll pipe their name like it was clarion.

Of the best, the only one who ever treated me as less than VIP (not his fault) made it up in a quickness!

My experience. was worthwhile.

[Nifty29]

Whoa - time to shill out Simmo...

Ive had an interesting request from the Casino Rewards Payment Dept - a screenshot of my Moneybookers account...??? Very odd as Ive never been asked for that before anywhere...it had to show my email, name, and address details.

Well I sent it, but it seemed a bit silly really considering I sent them my ID anc utility bill etc.

I will post when I get paid and hopefully give them credit where it is hopefully due....

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that just say:-

"Until you have made a deposit into any CR casino, you can only claim one no-deposit, free-spin or free-play bonus across the whole CR group"

... only with 5 times more words...
