Free �30.000 bonus - this is how!

**kimss** · 21st September 2008, 06:26 PM

We all love free money, and people might wonder how to get hold of the best bonuses. Well here in Norway Bjarte Baasland has (un)fortunate enough to give us the secret how you get atleast Bet365 to give you a bonus of the incredible amount of �30.000! Yes, it's true - �30.000 for you to play with!

There is a catch though, he have lost around +�3.500.000...

So don't be expecting those large bonuses if you havn't lost a fortune!

Also, you can read about the nice service representative from Bet365 that has come forth and told us how his work was done while working there. He's job was to make Bjarte Baasland keep playing (hence loosing making a great profit, and indeed they did!)

Thanks, Kimss, for the post.

Just solidifies my opinion that these casinos are not your best friend no matter what they try to make you think.

"Hi my name is Henning, thanks for contacting the Bjarte Baasland department at Bet365, how may I help you?"

And the story unweils... Henning Myrer comments about the world leaning gambling company Bet365 has made some waves in the gaming community, so high ranking persons from Expekt, Betsson and Ladbrokes has beein interviewed in the norwegian media. Some of theese are accredited casinos as well in here.

I made note on one of the comments from Hans Martin Nakkim, head of marketing at Betsson. He is offended and takes great distance by the claims made about Bet365 where they withold (pending withdrawal) for up to 5 days... This he thinks is a dirty tactic aswell!

LOL!

Because Betsson is a serious company, they are not cowboys he states! However I seen that pending withdrawal pretty all over the MG place! So now we know it's dirty tactics - atleast from the marketing perspective...

Here is a great quote by Henning - previous employee at Bet365 - regarding bonuses:

The important thing was that they had received such a large sum of us that they could play in a few hours and get back old feelings, to be hooked again.

I can't help love the honesty in this, you might understand why the industry is shaken by this honesty comming out in the media like this. The Norwegian media have been digging into this for a week now and it's very interesting how much info is comming out now.

There maby will be a lawsuit aswell now against bet365 to get most or all money back... So keep watching!

Thanks for these and keep them coming if more details are revealed. High-roller stories are always interesting read.

Scams-R-Us!!

Absolute disgrace.

I really think Bet365 need to improve their image ASAP. I suggest an immediate �250 bonus to each player just for starters

Well, let's be cynical. They were interviewed by the NORWEGIAN press, and expected their replies to be published..... IN NORWEGIAN

Perhaps what they DIDN'T expect was then emerging so soon in ENGLISH, as well as quite a few other languages I expect.

While they may placate the Norwegian press by their honest replies, they now have the whole WORLD'S press wanting to know more about this subject.

Because this has come from a high ranking person at Bet365, rather than some "disgruntled employee" they could seel to discredit, the claims have considerable substance, and must represent thinking at the highest level in Bet365, and by implication, much of the rest of the industry.

It answers the fundamental question of WHY casino's give away bonuses, and why they simply CANNOT stop despite all the problems it leads to WHEN PLAYERS WIN off of them from their first ever deposits at a casino.

Explained also are the "technical difficulties" behind the NEED for a 24 hour or more "pending period" for player withdrawals, while at the same time offering an easy reversal option. ONE reason is to hope the player reverses, but the other is to lock them out of the next bonus or two because they JUST WON. This is why "reversals do not count as a deposit for the purposes of...........", yet they are happy to pay the fees to have you RECEIVE the withdrawal, and REDEPOSIT again straight away for another bonus.

I am sure more will follow, and maybe the industry will be a little cleaner and more transparent once this has all come out.
