MG flexi-bonus not so flexi...

[KasinoKing]

I've recently noticed quite a few MG's have changed their sign-up bonus terms so that now players have to complete the full wagering before any withdrawal can be made.

I'm not that surprised to be honest, as I always thought it was a bit too 'player friendly' - you could take the bonus, win a few big bets or hit some nice slots wins & then cash out.

I was thinking of doing a poll on this a few days back - so now I have!

Please only vote if you have ever taken an MG SUB with a 'flexi-bonus'.
(EZbonus, Clear-Play bonus, or whatever the casino wants to call it)
Thanks.

A summary of my play style is below:

1. If playthrough is required, I'll obviously play through the bonus.

2. With the 67% table game weighting at Belle Rock and Trident, I'll play through.

3. With typical 50% table game weighting, I'll at least play until the first $10 of the bonus is converted to cash. I may start the playthrough, then stop and cash out mid way, depending on how things go.

4. With <50% table game weighting (for example Grand Prive), I'll always cashout without completing the playthrough, if allowed.

I have always completed the WR on the welcome bonuses, even where terms have not required this.

This is most likely because I join casinos to see what they have to offer for returning players, and "doing a runner" from the welcome bonus before meeting WR is increasingly likely to get me labelled as a "bonus abuser", and not seeing the loyalty promotions on offer.

With casinos installed on my PC, they remain there based on continuing performance, and once they "forget" me, I tend to uninstall them to make way for something new.
