Why Denmark?...

[Slotster!]

Or rather why NOT Denmark??

Just been looking at a few casino websites this afternoon, and checking out the signup bonuses etc etc.. A load state that people from Denmark are not eligible.. How come?? Seems like a pretty random place to me.

Just interested really!

Ta!

There was a TV program where a man explained how to use casino bonus for profit. A lot of people in Denmark followed his method and took the casinos for a ton of loot!

Really? That's hilarious! I'm assuming this was shown in Denmark then?? What a bizarre country to be picked out.

They must have been doing something right (or wrong!) to get banned from so many. Mental!

Thanks for that.

Anyone got any more info??? Ok - so I've cashed out my stake and winnings for the weekend, so I'm bored!

Did a bunch of google searched but mostly came up with links to gamnling T&C

here is link from Bet2Gamble about one casino that was hit.

Ah! Interesting stuff! Cheers for that!

God.. I wish I was good enough to make money out of bonuses!! Chance would be a fine thing! I've invariably gone through the wagering requirements and plenty more besides before I get a chance to cash out!!!

I gave some more details in another thread. Here's what happened:

It was just a 5 minute report on the national news on Danish television where they talk to a webmaster from a Danish casino-portal and some bonushunters. The bonushunters where all like 'At first I didn't believe it but then the cheques started arriving and now I'm making tons of money'. Of course, the main point of the report was that exactly that, that you could make easy money playing bonuses. The journalist even tries it (at Prestige Casino I believe) and shows the cheque. After that everybody and their dog starts hunting bonuses and not long after the casinos start to implement special rules for Danish players or just plains screw them out of their money (Vegas Strip, Twin Aces group).

This is several years ago now and you would think that it would have died out by now but apparently there are still enough bonushunters in Denmark for most casinos to have special rules for us

Lets hope panarama or some other documentry about bonushunters doesnt go out in the UK (or the states )

It would 1000s out of a errr... a job

"Due to continuous severe abuse of promotions by players residing in Denmark and Canada, all Danish and Canadian players are required to wager 25 times the total of their deposit and bonus/es received in order to cash out any amount exceeding your original deposit."
- Casino King (along with Swiss Casino and Casino Las Vegas)

I must have missed that TV report

hello i think that danishs awere very sharp as they were trying to get bonus freely in old days now casinos have big wagereing requirements becouse of that kind of players a good player feels very bad when he or she read casinos terms so just good casinos win only casinos who increase their WR lose in the long run. As you can see RTG casinos is getting closed every day

True,

The Danes brought it upon themselves to make a ‘wave’ that casinos hated (Imagine you in the casino’s shoes). With today’s WR’s this should be water under the bridge, as B+D’sX3, 4, 5 and 7’s are long gone and WRs are tough deals, no matter how smart a Nationality is, and I don’t subscribe to any specific Nationality being intellectually superior to another. Some casinos seem to still have that fixation that Denmark is a more dangerous’ country to deal with than others.

Now, I’ve noticed that Israel citizens are barred from many casinos lately. With nowadays WRs Einstein himself would not have been a man to defeat all casinos. Other nationalists are banned by country. I do believe that there are other factors than being ‘too smart’, perhaps some waves originate from a ‘guru’ saying “if you deposit with your credit card and win, kewl, but if you lose, just simply chargeback”…
