Question about Sign-Up Bonuses at Micros

**bAdSmoker** · 26th March 2005, 10:20 AM

Ok lets see if i can get this right..

Say i made a purchase for $50 and then while i am playing i recieve a sign-up bonus of $50 can i still cash out my winnings that occured before this bonus came into play?

If not then i think it is pretty cheap for a casino to do this in any matter.

Well i don't fully understand how this all works but i would appreciate if someone could better explain this matter to me!

Thanks!

In my experience, no you cannot cash out winnings gained prior to getting the bonus. In fact, in some cases any wagering done prior to getting the bonus does not count towards the required wagering needed to cash out.

In other words, to be safe, wait till you get the bonus to play at all.

you can of course opt to play without bonuses, contact support before you start playing and ask them to remove the bonus from your account

Well i know a couple of micro's that you have to wager your deposit before you can get a bonus.. but im seeing alot of these casinos now mix it in with your real money which i dont think is fair to there players at all.

BadSmoker,

if you don't want any bonuses to be automatically added to your account, email the casino with your request before depositing, as Pam mentioned. That way, whenever you want to use a bonus offer, you'll have to ask for it.

It is always safer to deposit and wait for the bonus to be added before playing. Otherwise, it could create confusion and a conflict.

Your bonus being mixed in with your real account is actually a good thing. It allows you to wager more, if you desire to. Someone else will tell you how a bonus account works, as I am not familiar with it. But if you can only wager from one account at a time, well if you have 100$ in each, that would be your max wager. While when your bonus is added to your real account, it gives you $200 to wager.

A bonus is free chips to wager. Casinos are using it to entice players to deposit. You are required to wager a certain amount, before requesting any cash-in, and limited to play certain games.

Before making any deposit in a casino, always read the Terms And Conditions or Bonus Policy on their website. If you need more clarifications, contact the casino support, and keep all emails (or copy chat exchange).

Hope this helps.

The only MG's I can think of that need you to wager your deposit first are the Ladbrokes group of 3 casinos.
If you are talking about one of these, I believe the WR is only 4x on deposit + 4x on bonus = best deal on the net by miles!!! (Well, it was last time I checked). So stop whinging!

I'm 99.99% sure you cannot withdraw from ANY MG before meeting the WR.
As the girls said - always read & understand the T&C's before you start.
Good luck!
