Recipe for making a bad bonus

[all4greed]

Went to Tradition Casino's website since I had read here that they (supposedly) pay in 2 days and saw a decent 17x new player offer. Of course, that didn't show up on my personal promotions. However, this gem was waiting for me. I have never seen a bonus that makes the customer figure out the cashable dollar amounts when the deposit/bonus amounts are fixed. Of course, I could have live chatted for specifics but let's not go there...

Breaking it down:

Deposit 50, receive 1919, play with 1969 (easy enough).
Wagering is 150x = 295,350 (highest WR I've ever seen)
24 hours to complete wagering (won't be sleeping, just spinning)
Noncashable bonus (of course)
.02 minimum cashout = 88.38 (had to get the calculator)
.10422 max cashout = 200 (good thing calculator is handy)

I had to copy and paste - screenshot was horrible.
-------------------------------------------------

Get a 1919.00% bonus on your next deposit!

Minimum deposit: $50.00 Maximum bonus amount: $1919. The following deposit methods qualify: Moneybookers, NETeller, EcoCard, Click 2 Pay, Standard Cheque, Credit Card, Use My Bank, ACH, eWalletXpress, QuickTender, Credit Card, Credit Card, ClickandBuy, Ukash, Credit Card, Credit Card, Credit Card

Promotion times out after 24 hours and 0 minutes. Player must meet playthrough requirements within the time limit.

This promotion has a time limit which starts when the promotion is activated. The promotion will automatically complete when the time limit expires.

150.00x (deposit+bonus) playthrough

Playthrough is the amount that must be wagered (put at risk) before you may cashout. It is a multiple of your deposit or a multiple of your deposit plus the bonus. For example, "20x deposit" on a deposit of $100 means playthrough is $2000. "20x deposit + bonus wagering" on a deposit of $100 with a bonus of $100 means playthrough is $4000.

Unless otherwise stated, 1 credit wagered in a game counts as 1 credit toward playthrough requirements. Play at the following games, and any variants, does not count towards playthrough requirements and winnings may be considered null and void: Roulette, Blackjack, Sicbo, RedDog, Baccarat, PaiGow, War, ThreeCard, LetItRide, Videopoker, Craps, DoubleUp, CaribStud, ScratchCard, Slot Progressive.

Bonus money is not withdrawable. The bonus will be deducted from your next withdrawal.

If your balance is less than the amount of the bonus you will not be able to withdraw.

0.02x minimum cashout

You may only cashout amounts greater than your deposit plus 0.02 times the bonus. For example, if you deposit $100 and receive a $100 bonus with a 1x cashout, you may cashout any amount greater than $200. Additional deposits, reversals, bonuses or comp point redemptions do not count towards this minimum cashout restriction.

A maximum cashout of 0.10422 times the bonus applies.

A maximum cashout applies. For example, if you receive a $10 bonus and the maximum cashout is 10x the bonus your maximum cashout is $100. Any balance remaining after your cashout will be removed from your account.

Any funds over the maximum cashable amount will be removed automatically on cashout.

Thanks God i', not taking bonuses from casinos anymore Playing with with this bonus would be a nightmare, but not fun. And it must be FUN!

To wager 295,350 in 24 hours, you will have to make $12.306 bet every hour, or $205 every minute, or $3.41 every second. I doubt anyone could complete the WR for this bonus. Well, I'm sure noone is going to take it.

thanks for calling me a noone (nobody)
:P

To wager 295,350 in 24 hours, you will have to make $12.306 bet every hour, or $205 every minute, or $3.41 every second. I doubt anyone could complete the WR for this bonus. Well, I'm sure noone is going to take it.

Wow that is just pure rogue when it is impossible to wager the amount needed in the timeframe.


Well..maybe you could do it if you put the slot on super fast mode...autospin at max bet..but the bonus rounds would slow you down...(but then again it's Rival...WHAT BONUS ROUNDS?)

Slap a not recommended on this one Casinomeister until they clean up their bonus tactics.

People really should read this....it is IMPOSSIBLE to make WR on this bonus. There has been a discussion on this very bonus, or one similar to it in another thread. The best part is not just the ridiculous and insane WR, but the fact that they limited your bet amounts while you were using the bonus, lol. So you couldn't even bet $5 a spin on a slot..more like $2.50 or something like that. Thus, truly making it impossible to meet the playthrough. Can't remember which Rival it was...but does it matter? Could have been this one, could have been another one.

This is nothing more than a licence to steal $50 from each and every player who takes them up on this offer. I'd love to see evidence of ONE, just ONE, player who they say was successful and initiated a cashout.

I didn't even figure out what bet increments I would need (just couldn't get past everything else involved). Even if I could do superfast spins, for whatever reason, all Rival casinos bog my computer down and after about 45 minutes I have to close the casino.

Maybe they could send me a new superquick, high memory computer to tackle their wacked out promos...

Very, very bad tendency I see...bonuses are getting worse and worse, and it become harder and harder to find decent bonuses. I truly don't understand why casinos "forget" that bonuses are to prolong players' FUN, but not to cause agony about "have I completed WR or not???"
Knowing that WR are extremely high for the given bonus, and that I have absolutely no chance to complete it - this would discourage me from taking ANY bonus.

Breaking it down:

Deposit 50, receive 1919, play with 1969 (easy enough).

Not that easy, obviously!
To get the full $1919 bonus you need to deposit $100, not $50.

To wager 295,350 in 24 hours, you will have to make $12.306 bet every hour, or $205 every minute, or $3.41 every second. I doubt anyone could complete the WR for this bonus. Well, I'm sure noone is going to take it.

That's only if you took the max bonus.
The terms say the Minimum deposit is $50.00... that would be a $959.50 bonus - only half the maximum.
So you would only need to spin at $1.70/second... for 24 hours straight!

I can think of 1,919 better ways to spend 24hrs!

Relax.

The Rival software offers an autospin feature.
