Got a postcard by snail mail from GVC 55chip.com. Didn't do any research; figured it was a free $55 chip...what the hell!

Played for four hours. Played thru three or four grand. Figured I'd made it thru, so I got on the CS chat.

Casino Support: Welcome to Casino Support how may I assist you?
adedpoet: what is the play thru on the 55chip offer? and max cashout?
Casino Support: playthrough $2,750
Casino Support: max cash ot $100
adedpoet: i,ve played over 3000
Casino Support: "Each bonus you take comes with a playthrough, which is an amount that you need to WAGER - not win- before withdrawing. This means is that every time you bet for example $1, you have wagered $0.5.
Casino Support: Once you have met the play through requirements, your money will move back from the bonus balance to your withdrawable balance.
Casino Support: You can check how much you need to wager before making a withdrawal at any time by contacting support.
Casino Support: "
adedpoet: connect please
adedpoet: I have wagered over 3000
adedpoet: are you telling me that counts for $60?
Casino Support: no no
Casino Support: I thought you're asking about a new chip
Casino Support: your playthrough now is $1,783
adedpoet: What was original playthru amount
Casino Support: $2,750
adedpoet: ive played thru over 3000
Casino Support: you have not read the explanation I gave you in detail
adedpoet: every dollar i bet was only worth .05?
Casino Support: Indeed

Now that there is some funny stuff!

Played at Rich reels last night. Spoke to rep via live chat for 40 minutes, asking about terms, wagering, max cash out and other lovely components of deposit match. I was clearly told "your wagering requirements = 15X deposit plus bonus". In my case 100 deposit plus 100 bonus.

after 3 hours of playing, i though i was somewhat close to complete that. went back to chat to find how much wagering left to complete and different rep told me that i only wagered 1200. and then, after my concern (i was playing $2-3 bets)..she told me about this 50c for a dollar thing. not only, i never been told about this (this is my fault, should have gone to web site and read), but why not make 30X requirement and dont use those cheap tricks??

one more time, one more proof...don not take those lame bonuses

GoldVIP has been in the rogue pit for years. What's up with that?

Free chip or not, you continue to make their business viable by your participation.

It's how they lure you in. This BS is only starting, next will come "you cannot cash out until you have deposited/been a member for xxx etc." Followed by "we didn't receive them, could you send them again" and "your ID isn't legible".

If you lose, you will be offered HUGE deposit bonuses with sneaky terms, and by then you will be getting spammed on a daily basis by whoever they have sold your email address to.

Rich Reels - no excuse for pulling that stunt - I would expect better from a Microgaming casino.

Stay far away from GoldVIP club - there are about as rogue as it gets. Even if they offered me a $500 free chip I wouldn't think twice - with those kinds of operations you will not only never get paid but they will sell your personal information to every spammer out there. Not worth your time.
