You are totally right about the statement about the jackpot-payout practise, i also think this is not acceptable nor explainable in any aspect. i am also aware of the fact that some people who complained here had issues with winner outfits for requesting notarized docs, which in my opinion is a stall tactic.
I just said that in my personal! experience, they were fine. Their bonus offer is very very fair, considering the low wr on the welcome bonus and they paid me with no problems at all, not even requested any docs. So I cannot blame them as they treated me fair, for their predatory progressive-jp rules and document stunts i would also be careful. I also just played there once with the welcome bonus as dthe offer was too good, i got out with a good profit and leave it like this.
Sure for newbies it can be kind of a trap, but if you do your research on them before and know what you do and what you should avoid by playing in this group it can be a satisfying gambling experince there, they do pay out you just have to follow the rules and avoid playing jackpot games.
If you like a juicy big bonus for enhanced playtime and just play there for this reason you should be fine, for chasing jackpots better play another playtech. I just wouldnt say they are totally rogue and would recommend them only for their good bonus offers, following my experince with them i cannot find any negative aspect. But this is just me, and you´re right i know what iam doing. So sure for total newbies it might be not recommend, but if they inform themselves here and know the facts it´s a possible option for specific reasons.
