    Whats your in take on losing bonus and playing with real money.

    I was think there was a casio that if you deposit $100 you'll get a $300 bonus. Craps, roulette, sicbo, and baccarat was not allowed to be played with the bonus money. Now what happen's if you lose all the bonus money. You now have $100 of your real money cant you now play any games you want including craps, roulette, sicbo and baccarat. I dont see a problem in it since you did lose all the bonus money. Any in take on this issue please discuss it.

    If you deposit to get a bonus, you have to meet all the T&C's attached to to it. It doesn't matter if you're winning or losing - if the T&C's say you can't withdraw or play certain games until you've met the WR, then your stuck.
    You can't have it all ways. Take the bonus = take the risk.
    I treat bonuses as a privilege, not a right. I always try to meet the WR at the risk of busting out even on those where you can withdraw (Cryptos).

    In your particular situation though - if you think you have absolutely no chance of recovery using allowed games, you could have a bash at roulette or whatever & see what happens if you win enough to go back to allowed games & meet WR. Some casino's might let you 'get away with it'.
    (Though I guess 300% bonus = dodgy RTG or Playtech - so you probably wont get paid whatever you do! )

    That's it in a nutshell. I rarely take bonuses - including sign up bonuses. I don't like stipulations put on me on what to play. I know I am in the minority of players, but I have never ever had a problem at a casino.

    Think about it the other way. You gamble with your own money FIRST. Then if you happen to lose that, the bonus money lets you keep playing at no cost to you (a bonus!)

    Like CM said, obviously you shouldn't take a bonus at a site if they won't let you play the games you want to play. Some casinos seem to have a clause that says you can ask them to remove the bonus if you want to play the restricted games, and I'm sure that really all of them will do it if you ask...

    I'm with you there. I have found in the past I'm well up having been given a bonus, only to realise I am far from meeting the Wagering Requirement. By the time I've met it, I'm normally down.

    I think an all-too-common error here is that the $100 left is "your real money". Most casinos have you playing with your deposit first and then your bonus.

    Therefore, that $100 left is actually bonus money and not your deposit.

    And if it's bonus money, you're stuck with the T&C you agreed to when you got the bonus.

    I've read a lot of your posts and seen some pretty good advice. I agree with your above statement. I know many players lose the bonus at Crypto and then withdraw their deposit. In my view that's chicken sh-t of the player. I agree that you've got to give the casino a fair play. They don't owe us bonuses, it is a priviledge like you said. Heck, they offer a good deal, give them some gamble. Gamble up!

    I also don't like to withdraw with just a small win or a loss, even after meeting WR. I want to either show a "significant" win, or go bust. Again, give the casino some gamble. It's a two-way street.

    Down as in busted out, or just less than you started with?
    I myself tend to meet my wagering requirements by reaching a zero balance.

    I accept a bonus I thought I was allowed to play any game so I play roulette. I find out later I was not allowed to play roulette at all. I had it wrong I thought I could play it but it would not count towards the wager. I did see many casino that allowed roulette but it wont count as a wager. So I ended up not getting the $900 that I won on roulette and was set back as I never played.

    I agree that bonus do suck at some point but I am new to bonus so I want to try it out only if it's a sticky or low wager. I play 3000 games of slots and not once I hit more then $50. I would think playing slot that much and playing $2.50 a game would atleast give me $600 from 3000 games. Next time I should be aware of the roulette rule.
