MG -- bonus offer - is it good?

[XOXOXOXOXOX]

I got this offer from MG casino after I requested a withdrawal.
This is not the first time i got it but I never accepted any. Since I am not very experienced , i'd like to ask for opinions if this offer is good?
Does it sounds like I can reverse, play with 75 $ and if i lose 75, i still can withdraws 300? Or there is a catch??
thx

here is the details:

Firstly congratulations on your withdrawal at the casino of $300!
I would like to offer a bonus of 25% on whatever you decide to reverse on your withdrawal, it is up to you on how much of the withdrawal you do but it means you can have up to $75 of free money!
With this bonus you will be able to withdraw at anytime, you just lose whatever bonus balance you have remaining so there is no lock-in.

Sounds like the early release, or E-Z, whatever it's called now. The only catch as such would be if you reversed the $300, and thus had $375, any wagers would come from your cash balance before the bonus, so if you lost $75 and wanted to withdraw, you'd have $300 left but subtract the bonus and you'd have $225.

If it was me, I'd say stuff them and go ahead with the withdrawal. They want you to reverse it, in the hope you're going to lose it all. Don't let them!

I have never got that bonus offer before. Just look at it this way say if you take out 25 to play back. Keep it simple will use 100% match so now you will have 50 dollars to play. no playthrough but if you get that up to say another 75 and you withdrawal you will only get 50 of that back the 25 is theirs and not kept in play or allowed to withdraw with. Tried to make this easy to understand
sorry.

won't you be able to withdraw $225 since you reversed $75 assuming you lose it?
plus that's only an $18.75 bonus off a $75 reverse not a great deal in my book but if you were to win they're saying they'd deduct only the remainder of the $18.75 if I interpret it correctly assuming you win off it, as I think MG uses the bonus money first before cash money but I'm not 100% sure.

I think this is a very bad practice, reminds me of the vultures at some Playtech's, a withdrawl should be processed wihout intereference of any kind, this is nothin more than predatory behavior, lets face it, most gamblers dont have the greatest will power, especially after a winning session. This shocks me coming from M/G....well not really.

No, if i reverse all 300 then i will get 75 in bonus. So i will have 375 in total.
If i am up later and request a withdrawal, its obvious they will deduct 75 or whatever the bonus amount remaining. I am concerned however, what would happened if i lose 75 right away?

You would then only be able to cash in 225. Your balance would be 300, but as you say, 75 is bonus and will be removed from an early withdrawal.

If you do take it, I'd treat it like a normal sticky. There's not really a lot of point in grinding it out to meet the WR, because you don't need to, so choose an amount you are 'happy' to lose. stick it all on one hand of blackjack, and if you double, withdraw and walk away.

But I'd stress that whatever you do, don't reverse it all. It might seem like it's worth it to get the whole bonus, but you'd be at risk of losing the whole lot. By only choosing a set amount, if it goes it goes, but reversing everything means the likelihood of losing it all is also greatly increased.

When I read about casinos doing this, it really annoys me. When you made that withdrawal, your mind was telling you that was the right thing to do at the time. You were probably quite happy with what you had made. So 24 hours later, or whenever, the casino contacts you and attempts to persuade you to give it all back to them, with false hope in a cleverly disguised quite frankly crap bonus. The email is quite an irony. They are congratulating you on winning, but basically saying they want it back.

If a bonus is what you want, there are plenty of others that offer the same bonus release system and will give you a much better deal than the 25% on offer here.

KEEP IT

This is rather odd behaviour, and doing this at a Rival casino gets you bonus banned

One casino group says claiming a bonus with a reversed withdrawal is "abuse", yet another sends out an offer to do this.

The catch is that they keep hold of the money, and a mere 25% means the player does not stand to gain all that much extra playing time. Further, having just won, how can we be 100% confident that the next session will also be a winner - better to receive the withdrawal and try a different casino.
The casino saves processing fees this way, as they never process the withdrawal. In theory, they could continue to keep a player hooked by repeatedly offering this kind of incentive to reverse all withdrawals till their luck finally runs out and they lose it all.

The MG casino group that springs to mind here is Fortune Lounge, because they were always making me offers to reverse a withdrawal, but these were merely chances in a draw, not a definite bonus.

If they offered 100%, or even more, then this offer would make more sense, especially since you do not have to reverse it all.
