    weren't they one of the first casinos to get a license from the Isle of Mann? If I remember correctly, they launched a casino called Clubfiore.com

    Seems like they're not in the IOM anymore and I guess, have changed software (I can't remember what clubfiore used, but I doubt it was Playtech)

    interesting they partnered with Napoleans - seems like think that 'land based' players are too ignorant to read the small print on bonus offers...idiots

    You're right - it was orginally Club Fiore, licensed through Action Online Entertainment under the Isle of Man along with I think six other big names with land casino connections that all subsequently moved on.

    Fiore changed its name (but probably has the same ownership) but was originally I think owned by Crospoint Venture Partners IOM Ltd and is now licensed in Khanawake I believe. The software was GET, but around the time of the move that changed to Playtech.

    I dont understand. Are you calling this casino a joke because of the wagering requirement of their bonuses or because you heard something about them that makes you think that? It baffles me how someone can say a casino is no good based on their bonus terms. Just dont claim a bonus and deposit your own money to play, after all that is what gambling is all about. Ive never claimed a bonus ever, so I have never really had a problem with a casino, I never have to worry about my money being locked in, and I never have to worry about wagering requirements. All this for a measley $10.00, I think you can wrangle up $10.00 from somewhere to play if you want to gamble so bad. Deposit $10.00 of your own money, play, and if you win make a withdrawal of your winnings and deposit. If they screw you around, and they deny your withdrawal for any reason come back here and post that they are a joke and I will agree. I bet you would not have to post anything.

    I don't know anything about the casino - i haven't played it, so I won't comment. However, I think anyone that offers such a small 'bonus' with such out of proportion wagering requirements are belittling their audience.

    I agree with what you say though - simply don't ask for a bonus. The difference here was that this promotion was sent to land-based casino players who may be unaware of the type of bonuses available online and how it all works - and are therefore, in my opinon, being somewhat misled.

    Oh I see, I did not know that is what they did. Before I knew anything about online casinos and bonuses I probably would have taken free money if I was offered. For people who are online casino players, and know everything about bonuses and the wacky wagering requirements that go along with them, as well as the fact that almost everyone has trouble withdrawing from a casino when they claim a bonus, it just boggles my mind why people still claim them. Then when they do claim the bonus, and get the hassles, which they know will happen, they then come and complain about it.

    There is also a 30/30/720 sign-up bonus. I am tempted to try out this casino, too, I was just hoping to find some information on customer service and how promptly they pay.
