OK we have seen a few sites where US players have been caught out in this way so whilst this is imperfect this is not a critisism that can be labeled solely at omni.
Also in terms of the original complainant. I had understood that BJ/pontoon only counted for the FIRST DEPOSIT at omin and that for subsequent deposits BJ games were excluded. I did not view the October bonus rules there so I cannot say what the relevant rules stated but it is not certain to me that you would have completed the bonus terms to get your funds released.
In terms of the Novermber rules then unless I am thick they are a complete mess. Of the "VP and slots bonus "
This seems odd for a "blackjack and.." bonus. As has been mentioned earlier you could be talking about rewards rather than normal bonuses but in terms of normal bonuses I am not sure you would have actually completed the wagering requirements generally.
Getting beyond this tecnicality it is an akward issue. I see no reason for casinos not to give their players moderate notice (end of the month) on this issue as the Port Securities Act does not particularly change the legal position all that much and it certainly doesnt do it before it comes into force. If a bonus has not been properly cleared what should the casino do?
Personally I would feel that giving a player the fraction of their bonus thats clear + deposit + profits if they have been made and deposit less losses but plus percentage of bonus cleared*bonus would be the fairest way of doing things but I do not think they will often be under any contractual obligation to do this.

is what is stated in the general termsWagering in Mutli Hand Blackjack, Single Deck Blackjack, Baccarat, Punto Banco, Roulette or Craps do not count towards the wagering requirements. If you wish to play these games, simply deposit without entering the bonus code.
