just went on bet fred to deposit, live chat told me 25 times playt hrew on bonus, but at the last second gave me a link to go confirm what they said, and noticed candians had to play threw 85 times!!! soi'm sure it's a great casino if you don't take a bonus. but i always want alittle xtra for my money so i can't play there now, that's a little too much for me.

wow, i like this casino. I took bonuses some time ago and was told x25 B+D. Perhaps its new.
BTW, is there a way to check play-thru on Playtech with out contacting their support?

Tote also accept Canadians but they are bonus banned. Must be something about you Canadians and Playtech - a bit strange really

More casinos single out Canadians for higher playthrough.

Go to bet365. It welcomes Canadians and has 20X or 30X standard WR.

no you always have to ask live chat, funny thing is when i did ask live chat i stopped winning right away...lol

IMO for a Playtech Betfred is second only to Bet365. What I find strange in the case highlighted here is the surprise element. If the playthrough is advertised at 25x then that is the playthrough. If you live in a country with a higher playthrough requirement then it should be made clear on the popup box that Betfred always uses when bonuses are credited.

For any slots player 85x playthrough on a deposit is pretty much a donation.
The chances of cashing out on this are close to zero.
Also Betfred advertises WR in the standard way. D+B. So was your offer 25x or a total of 50x (D+Bx25)

I was considering depositing to try out Playtech slots other that the few they offer through the poker skins, then I read their general term to see Canada labeled as a country of bonus abusers.

I opened live chat, told them what I thought of that particular term, and closed my account and deleted the software.

I tried out Betfred today and got the phantom bonus. WR was 50X D+B much to my surprise. I thought I would NEVER meet that, so just started playing wildly and ended up cashing out $950, I tried to do 1000 but then discovered the $50 bonus money was deducted. Oh well. But for next time I won't be accepting any bonuses from there.
