Issue #259
weekly
Dear ${token1},
It's still the holiday season where I'm at, and will remain so until sometime next week when I decide to start seriously working again. Sorry if my emails are slower than the usual slow, but that's just the way it is this time of year. The days are dark and snowy - and at night it's friggin' cold. It's really hard to pull oneself out of the grogginess and start pounding away on the keyboard (in front of my computer). Hell, I'm getting sleepy just writing this newsletter - and I'm probably putting you to sleep as well. So I better get on with it.
Hibernatingly yours,
Bryan

This may seem to be a minor thing, but this "after the fact" removal of a bonus is really a serious matter. The problem with this action is that by the player's act of making the deposit - he is agreeing to the terms, and thus should be allowed to play out the bonus per the casino's terms.
For a casino to remove the bonus after the player has been offered the bonus and made the deposit is "bad casino practice" in my opinion. This can be construed of tricking players into making deposits. I do not believe that this is the case in this situation, but it can be interpreted as such.
The casino has all of the power in the world to make special offers to which ever player suits their fancy. To me, this looks like the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing - as in "oops! didn't mean to send that particular player that offer - renege the deal!" Sorry that doesn't cut it.
It's the casino's prerogative to choose not to give whomever a bonus and send them on their merry way. But these players should be identified before the offer is made - not after. I hope this casino group gets it's act together and takes care of this in the appropriate manner.

Both of these threads really give a good feel on some of the more interesting personal events of 2005. It's been a long year and much has happened in it. Thanks to "JohnSteed" who initiated these well thought out threads.
The Slot Junkies Challenges are a unique concept whereby players can opt into competitions for their favourite casino games and join in a community of like-minded players. Each month, casinos sponsor certain games and put up prizes for the best win, backed up by a screenshot, during the month.
The winning screenshots are those which show the highest win, based on the number of coins won rather than the actual amount. This gives the "low-rollers" a fairer chance to compete. The first prize each month will vary from game to game and the prize allocation is displayed for each game when you enter the Player Lounge. Second and Third place prizes are also usually available.
