platinum play bonus

[padanian]

Thre's a lot of talk this days about bonuses.
Maybe until some time ago it was really possible to find some good deals, but now WR and game exclusions are make the try much less than worthwhile...
Usually I never ask them when trying a new casino. I made an exception yesterday with Platinum Play (I usually trust only casinos chosen by the master), my first experience with a Fortune Lounge Casino. The 200% bonus was interesting and 50$ could be a good deal to check if the casino is worth a try.
There were no clear WG terms so I asked the support and they sent me the following info, that I guess is the new policy of the group:

"Hi Aldo,

Thank you for your question.

I have included the wagering requirements in the following explanation:

Great new additional bonus: You will receive an additional purchase match of
$10.00 on your first purchase of $50.00 or more.
In order to cashin the above-mentioned sign up offer, the following wagering
requirements have to be met with:
Wager the purchase and bonus amount at least fifteen (15) times
Only 20% of the above wagering requirements can be met playing Blackjack
e.g. If your required wagering is $2,250 ($50 purchase x 15 + $100 Bonus x
15) only play on Blackjack up to $450 (20% of $2,250) will count towards
your $2,250 requirement
Wagering on Jacks or Better Power and Video Poker, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette
and Sic Bo will not be counted as part of the requirements for this special
offer.
The wagering requirement (for cash-in purposes) will start being counted
from the time the promotion bonus was added to the casino account.

Please do not hesitate to contact us, should you have any further queries.

Kind Regards
xxxxxxxx

15X (but in reality 16X since before getting the bonus you need to wager your deposit once, and it doesn't count for the WR) is not the best deal, but at least you can play some blackjack and all VP with the only exception of Jacks or Better.

Now I'm a little up, and maybe at the end I'll loose bonus and initial deposit, but it's remain better than other places where you can just play slots or are required 35X or 50X WR.

A short update...
I still remain skeptical in front of casino bonuses: they can change your way of playing and sometimes are tricky, but this time, with all wagering requirements fullfilled, I'm 400 $ up.
Not a matter of skill, but just disgustingly lucky at the slots.
Time to cash in, I guess

PS: another way in which bonuses can be dangerous it's the fact that now I feel a little bit guilty towards the casino. But I guess they're not scared. They'll have plenty of times to get everything back until the last cent...

Don't feel the least bit guilty! I'm sure that for every one of you winning, there are probably 10 people losing. WTG

Just a few lines for the end of the story: money already on my neteller account. In the same day that UK Casino Gols is losing a client the Fortune Lounge is getting a new one...Not just because I won, but everything went just smoothly...
