Oldie,

What are you complaining about?

It's only a 300X bonus WR. If I were you I would send them an email for each of the next 7 days expressing my gratitude on the bonus.

I thought they had crap bonuses too and very high wagering to boot.
I had to tell them to put me on the no bonus list, as they used to just credit my account without even giving me a choice when i deposited if they had a promotion running that day and i would have to ask them to remove it from my balance.....that got old fast.
I did very well playing on the slots there yesterday when they had the reel race promo so i clicked on it to see the terms and ended up stumbling upon this in the general terms and conditions:

Unless specifically stated otherwise, for the purpose of deposit bonus promotions, all bonuses and deposits must be wagered through in accordance with the following conditions. The bonus may only be redeemed once cumulative wagers totalling not less than 20 times the sum total of the deposit plus bonus have been placed. Customers from Argentina, Australia, Belarus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Japan, Korea, Lebanon, Lithuania, Macau, Moldova, Malaysia, Nepal, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, Singapore, Slovenia, Sweden, Ukraine, Uruguay and Vietnam may only redeem the bonus once cumulative wagers totalling not less than 50 times the sum total of their deposit plus bonus have been placed. Customers from China, Finland, Latvia, Romania and Russia may only redeem the bonus once cumulative wagers totalling not less than 200 times the sum total of their deposit plus bonus have been placed. Bonus funds may not be cashed until this handle has been met.

LOL so now i guess Australia has been added to the ever growing list of countries that have a few rotten eggs, so why not punish everyone.
It could be worse...50 times is huge but 200 times is astounding

Indeed. And i am from Finland, and many reputable casino actually have own Finnish site and low wagering requirements. 365Bet have quite good reputation, but... yeah:

Customers from China, Finland, Latvia,....... 200 times the sum total of their deposit plus bonus

What is 400 times x Bonus

I guess, some Finnish poker player clean their poker... because we have good names here. So, now we all paid for that, lol.... well, after tthey added that, i stopped playing.

i think I got offered a bonus there but refused and then excluded myself from any bonuses since the wagering was ridicilous... =)
I am from sweden =)

Aren't they accredited? Absurd wagering requirements should be an automatic exclusion from accreditation.

Honoring the the bonuses they offer should be the only factor in accreditation regarding bonuses. Simple honesty.

It's entirely up to every casino's own discretion to provide bonuses to players. It's done for the sole purpose of attracting business. If players don't like them they don't have to take them and they don't have to play at that particular casino.

The requirements of accreditation have been created and are monitored to protect players by providing a list of casinos whose standards and history show honesty and integrity.

Monitoring every casino's ever changing bonuses for generosity would not only become a colossal waste of time but would really fall far outside of the purpose of the list itself.

Yeah, I'm with skiny on this one... the rollover reqs shouldn't matter that much in getting or being accredited. It's up to the players to accept or decline those.

But they sure are a reason to have a laugh.
