thank you for your answer aka23
you say that Grand Monaco also has such a requirement.
Here are the Bonus System at GM:
How it works
The Bonus System utilizes a 'Bonus' account balance alongside a real 'Cash' account balance.
After the casino awards a player with Bonus credits, the Bonus Credits automatically turn into real Cashable Credits as a player wagers in the casino.
Rules
A Player has two account balances consisting of:
Cash balance
Bonus Credit balance (The Bonus account cannot be cashed out but may be used to place real money bets)
Specific bonus credit play-through requirements are indicated in the terms and conditions of each promotion.
Bonus amounts awarded require a 30 times play through before they are automatically transferred into the cash account balance.
The wagering contribution percentages for the play-through requirement is different based on the game type played.
The wagering contribution percentages are as follows:
- Slots and Parlor Games - 100%
- Table Poker, Roulette - 25%
- Blackjack, Video Poker, Craps, Baccarat, Casino War, Sicbo - 5%
- Progressive Slots and Games, Red Dog, All Aces and Jacks or Better Video Poker - 0%
As the play-through requirements are met, bonus credits are automatically transferred from the Players Bonus account to their Cash account in increments of $10 credits.
Play-through requirements are achieved when real money wagers are made from either the Cash or Bonus Accounts.
Wagers are first deducted from the Players Cash account. If there are no credits in the Cash account, then the bet is taken from the Bonus account. Players bonus account funds are only used when the cash account balance is zero.
When a player makes any withdrawal, their Bonus account balance is reset to ZERO. Thus a player loses any Bonus account balance if they make a cash withdraw. Before processing a cash withdrawal, players are warned that they lose their bonus credits. Thus we give players the opportunity to reverse their cash-in decision so they may continue playing with and earning the Bonus Credits into Cashable Credits.
If crediting winning bets into a Players Bonus account results in the Bonus account exceeding the size of the original Bonus amount, then excess winnings are credited to the Players Cash account.
The casino audits all cash-ins for wagering requirements and promotion abuse. Abuse includes receiving bonus credits and making a few large wagers followed by a cash-in. The casino reserves the right to void the winnings earned from this type of wagering activity as it is not in the intended spirit of the distribution of the bonus credits.
These T&C's says that i can make anytime a withdrawal, if i has a Sum in the Cash Balance, equal if i has any amount in the Bonus Balance.
They says not that i must wager all the Bonus in Full to make a withdrawal, except the welcome bonus.
This is, what many other Casinos have on their Bonus System, it is ok, but not at Golden Reef.
It is equal, i have lost $100 to met the wager requirement in full.
I think the next time, if i play generally the next time to the Group, i play without any Bonus, there are many other Groups with better and more unambiguous T&C's.
( i play only Slots and sometimes VP )
