Inetbet warning

[Rusty]

Sorry Pina I do not see how having Two separate coupons stops that stratergy. Maybe I am missing something though.
As far as I can see it just means you either save all your guaranteed wins on Classic slots or save all your free spins on reel series before zeroing out but not both.
It is probably a moot point anyway because I have never known an RTG be slow on denying winnings on the grounds of bonus abuse (not played within the spirit it was meant etc)
Maybe that is what Inet mean and have evidence of but are not saying?

So far though they seem to be saying Sweiger played the wrong slots as stated in their T&C's and yes they are within their rights to do this but is it RIGHT?

You and Bryan are of the opinion that it is and I can see where you are coming from but if the player was not seeking to gain an advantage then it appears to the player to be nothing more than an excuse to deny a payout.

Any Casino can draw up a long list of conditions to be met for bonuses but what is important is that they are fair and there for a reason and not just there to trap unsuspecting players.

When you talk about things being clear and obvious you are talking as an experienced player who is aware of and looking out for all the pitfalls that using a bonus can bring.
A new player could easily make a similar mistake.
I am not saying Inet are crooked just incompetent.
It is terrible PR for Casinos when these things happen and they should be ensuring it can not happen not making it more likely with convoluted bonus coupons/conditions.

I have always interpreted this as iNetBet have, even though the layout of these additional rules could be better.

There could well be a problem for players for whom English is not their first language, simply because two DIFFERENT grammatical constructs are used to explain the rules for the two coupons.

Here is a simpler one.

Real Series coupon - For play ONLY on Real Series range of slots.

Classic Slots Coupon - For play ONLY on the Classic range of slots.

The lobby should always be designed so that it is clear which slots fall into each category. RTG sometimes confuses things by double listing new Real Series slots such that links appear in the main menu as well as under the Real Series tab. Things could be made clearer still by providing a link to a detailed list of games, for example:-

Classic Slots Coupon - For play ONLY on the Classic range of slots as listed <here>.

Clicking on <here> would lead to a list of eligible slots. The same could be done for all the coupons, and this should reduce the scope for arguments.

Placing a confiscated jackpot in a winner's list is 100% wrong though. It would be ILLEGAL here in the UK, as it misleadingly implies a prize has been paid out to the named person/player, which was not the case.

We have yet to hear what happened to the confiscated RJ, if not paid, it should be placed back into the pot, since it has already been paid for by players, it should NOT be kept as 100% "hold", as this would be taking advantage of the other players who no longer have a chance to win it (with the CORRECT coupon ).

[sweiger]

I still don't see the problem. The writing beside the *" symbol quite clearly tells me that the Real Series slot coupon ONLY applies to the real series range of slots. And..that Classic Slots DOES NOT (ie. in other words, do not play them) apply.

Exactly! "If you take a real series coupon, don't play classic slots."
That's how I read the terms in the first place.
But there was NO mention of "you can't play real series with a classic slots coupon", right?

EDIT: No Sweiger, it's not NOW on two separate lines. I was originally looking at the Current Offers page, without realizing that you had been referring to the Newsletter link, which is exactly the same bonuses to the letter, but slightly different page layout. One line, two lines....the wording is identical, and means the exact same thing whether it is written on one line or two. Real Series applies to Real Series, Classic Slots does NOT.

I was NOT referring to the newsletter, I referred to the website:

http://www.inetbet.com/promotions/currentoffers.asp

And until yesterday, the wording in question WAS one seperate paragraph (as in the newsletter).
Why do you think they changed it yesterday? Because they realized it was too unclear and ambiguous.

[sweiger]

I can see both sides of the argument here;
The terms are ambiguous - some people will insist that they are for ever, and some will insist they are not for ever.

I honestly would not waste any more of your time on this.

I have no high hopes of Inetbet changing their minds in my favour. The original post was merely a warning to others that they DO exercise their ambiguous rules to their own benfit, swift and harshly. Then they further gives me the finger by putting me on the winners list.
Inetbet should have no hopes of getting more of my business.

And yes, what about my stolen RJ? Will it be put back in the pot?

Hi,
As we do with any Jackpot where a player is not eligible for payout the funds were added back to the game. As mentioned in previous threads on this topic we have to instruct RTG to do this for us. So it would not have been instantaneous. I have checked and the current balance does reflect the Jackpot being added back.
Best Regards

I came here just to say stop beating a dead horse, but then I realized
I don't even know what is real slots and what is classic slots since I am not a slot player until I began reading here
However, I just checked inet slots and see Real Series Video Slots and three Reel classic. So what is Crazy Vegas or Pinocchio etc?

Just a personal note, in nearly 30 years of gambling in land based casinos and off shore gambling ships I am yet to put one single quarter in a slot machine. Now I read at this forum and I do play for the hell of it
hoping to get a hit so I can post in winning screenshots :-)

How many other winners on this list were ineligible for the winnings - I think if the player for whatever reason is not going to get the jackpot they should not be placed on the winners list.

See - even I can be ambiguous too!
When I said:-

I meant not to waste you time arguing with people here on the forum about what the terms meant - I didn't mean stop chasing iNetBet to see if they will accept their ambiguity and maybe make some token of compensation.

One can but hope...

This is a longwinded thead of posts mainly attacting iNetBet for something that is clearly stated on their promotions. Sweiger has been a member of Casinomeister's for over 2 years and one would have to think that this wasn't their first play on RTG games. Their promotions are clearly stated on their current promotions page. I don't see how anyone could misinterept the meaning of real series slots and classic slots. The only difference in the coupons is the real series coupon is for a 50% bonus and the classic slot coupon is for 75%. I am not accusing Sweiger of anything but wonder how many claim the larger 75% classic slot coupon (knowing the difference in classic and real series slots) then still go play the real series and when they hit a random call foul play. Not saying this is the case here but after playing online for over 2 years most know the difference in the classic slots and real series slots. Sorry, this happened to you Sweiger but it's not iNetBet's fault as the coupons are easy to understand and I don't think they deserve the flaming here. I think their one of the only fair RTG casinos out there and as Casinomeister said...go play at Cirrus and see real rouge support.

Sorry, but on this issue I stand with iNetBet.

Sorry, but on this issue I stand with iNetBet.

I also stand on this with Inetbet even though I was burned by them once a long time ago, through my own misreading...if they reverse this, then they would have to reverse all winnings made from bonuses that were "misread" including mine (the one and ONLY time I ever took one!)

Once again, I say, the pull to take a bonus is very strong and then to claim foul is also very strong when one hits a good jackpot...no one ever thinks they will, but when they do..they want all bets off, (that is all T&C"s deemed moot).

This discussion has become irrevelant to the issue..and that is, 1. a bonus was claimed, 2. it was used wrong, and 3. a jackpot was hit with it and 4. winnings were denied which is what casinos do when T&C's are broken..end of story.

My advice to many is STOP taking bonuses!!! It does NOT pay in the long run!
Figure it out ...deposit $30 get a 50% bonus of $15 and then have a 25x D&B wagering requirements and you end up with $1125 wagering all for a lousy $15 bucks??? Makes no sense whatsoever...and then you have a max cashout of 10-20 your deposit on MANY of these...which makes it even worse...
