Arent you annoyed by such E-mails?

[Balky]

From a casino I play from time to time I received an email with the subject "Your cashback now". My first thought of course was "Cool, lets play a few games on the house". After opening the mail my eye caught the first sentence of the content that says "20% cashback on all your deposits over 100$ for the next 24 hours".
Boooo! Why do some casinos try anything to make you read their mails. Its more probably for the player to be annoyed with the misleading subject than to be baited by such a (moderate) offer.

Got that exact email today.

I agree with you.

Yes, yes & more yes!
Cashback bonuses suck IMO.
Who wants a bonus where you have to lose all your deposit to get it???

Still, that e-mail is not as bad as the one DaVinci's Gold sent out a week or so ago; it said "Your account has been credited!" which was a complete and utter bare-faced LIE!

The e-mail then listed 2 deposit match bonuses you could take, and then below them it said "Freebies will be added to your account instantly after completing a Match Bonus."

This is absolutely NOT the sort of BS I would expect from this reputable casino, and I hope the idiot responsible for this ludicrous e-mail got a large rocket where the sun don't shine!

To be fair to the Casino, it's simply a play on words to make you read the email and it must have worked!

I'm sorry, but that's total bollocks!
It's not a play on words, they said "Your account has been credited!" - how many ways can you interpret that???

But you're saying it's OK for a reputable casino to tell a COMPLETE LIE to get you to read an e-mail?
No way - this type of garbage belongs to rogue casinos, spammers & scammers only.

Congratulations... You made me read your email - then immediately uninstall your software.

I disagree here. This "play on words", as you put it, is purposely misleading the player to believe he received cash or a bonus into his account. I played the promotion KasinoKing mentioned. It was offered by DVG, and I played it not BECAUSE but IN SPITE of the misleading subject of the E-mail.

Nope Paul , takes up my time and then makes me think less of the casino at question, i would much rather a casino say, hey Laurie!!!!! we have noticed you to be a loyal customer and want to show our thanks to you by giving you a non wagering bonus........."NOW THATS EYE CATCHING" ........ and it has been done before.....................laurie

I have to agree with OP and posters. If anything it is an omission of key words. It could have read "your cash back now with min deposit", or something like that. Here is a FL email that was exactly what the subject claimed:

Title: We have credited your account

body:
Hello xxxxxxxxx

"Congratulations, $5 has been credited into your account.

Casino: Vegas Towers
Account No: vtrxxxxxxxx
Forgot password? Visit this link.

Come back to Vegas Towers and you will receive $5 on the house PLUS 50% on your next 3 deposits: "

I got no problem opening something like this as opposed to trickery which only pisses me off.

The play on words is that they have credited you with the bonus coupon. Granted it is misleading but it's not my place to discuss another operators marketing strategy, I simply made a point of saying that it made you read the email so it must have worked, whther or not you agree with the promotion or the email is your prerogative. Only trying to give you an opinion, don't take it as anything more...
