About Littlewoods Casino's December Bonus..

[tantalos]

I guess you all know that Littlewoods uses Cryptologic. This month, the casino's bonus is increased - however, its terms have changed.

In order to get the bonus in your account, you must wager a certain amount before. THEN, you are eligible to the bonus. That's a change, as the bonus was initialy deposited in your account up to mow, just not withdrawable until the wagering requirements hade been fulfilled

This sounds a bit tricky to me. Has anyone claimed it? I think there's a good chance of me been accused of bonus abusing, in case I complete the requirements the usual way I tend to do - playing BJ,that is...

I saw this also. I immediately thought of the problems had by Omni last year. However, I think Littlewood's message says that the bonus will be applied immediately after you give them the WR, as opposed to Omni applying it 24 hours later, IF, they decide you are worthy. So it will be interesting to see how they handle that.

But for me, I'm just going to play poker there. The heck with casino games and bonuses. I've decided it's too much stress.

No real difference!

In real terms this is a better offer than the Intercasino bonus. What it DOES prevent is the bonus abuse that Intercasino suffer from as Crypto casinos permit the deposit to be withdrawn again and only the bonus risked. By awarding only after WR is met, it means that players deposits must be risked, but at the same time are not tied down by the usual T & C of up front bonusing at other casinos. The WR is 20x the bonus (1000), and almost all games count (there are exclusions of Craps etc - check terms for full list).
What worries me is the lack of a bonus code, and the inability to follow WR with the new tool that Cryptologic introduced for match bonuses. The Log Viewer will suffice though, you just need to add the numbers up. The wagering must also be completed in the same calendar month of the reward, otherwise it is forfeit, and you have to start again in January. There seems to be no term requiring a specific amount to be deposited, you just need to play with your own funds first (which may require a deposit).
Only a trusted brand can get away with this change though, as it is easy for a less reputable casino to allow you to wager the 1000 and then tell you that you are not allowed the bonus.

I took December's offer. The bonus was added instantly as advertised after meeting the 1000 wagering requirements. No problem at all. Let's hope it ll continue that way.

I emailed them to check if I was eligible since I haven't been able to receive their normal monthly bonus. I got a reply saying that I was not able to get the bonus since I had been labelled as abusing their promotions.

Its probably a good idea to check with them first before you do any wagering.

Yes, I could have sworn I read that about them somewhere before. Not sure where I read that. But I can't blame them. At least they are a legit casino. They do have a bonus for playing poker also. I think I joined them about six months ago and I've got the poker bonus. It's 25 British pounds per month and you have to play so many raked hands of poker. (I think 250 raked hands)

I don't think they mind giving the bonus for poker, because they still make money off of your participation in the game. A win-win situation.
