Adler Casino refused first deposit bonus cuz of using skrill as deposit method

[rothaemel]

Adler Casino having lots of terms and conditions and a specially site 4 bonus only enclosed 23 chapters and at chapter 22 is written em will not issue first deposit bonus when using skrill as deposit method - it's about 100 per cent up to 50 - it's ludicrously - but em doeing it.

This rule is not very unusual. For example energy casino also does not give bonuses on deposits made by skrill/neteller. Just use a card a instant banking instead. By the way, casino adler has very standard and fair rules in my opinion, nothing to be mad about.

Common, but ridiculous nonetheless. It's also buried away in the terms, and not mentioned in the advertising. It leads to players making a first deposit via their usual method and finding out after the fact that they should have used a specific other method if they wanted the bonus on offer. This rule may also be applied to other offers, not just this one. Another rule, also relatively common, is hugely increased WR on loyalty bonuses for certain deposit methods or country of origin of player.

I remember ladbrokes when they were a decent outfit and not the shambles they are now had a similar ludicrous policy on neteller deposits and bonuses. Never understood this at all. Just to get my recent Skrill account for example had to go through many hoops to authenticate who I was and where I lived. It is about as secure as you can get. Sure they are processing fees but still no reason to decline. But alas it is not so uncommon.

I remember a few weeks some tosser had somehow got hold of my debit card number. Luckily the bank were on it straight away and I lost nothing. But had to re-issue a debit card. PITA as it took around a week for the card and pin to arrive. Second time in the past 4 years it has happened. So I am wary these days of putting my card details out there and limit it drastically. Sure a skill / neteller account can be hacked but being sensible changing passwords on a very regular basis and making sure your browser system is as secure as you can make it goes a way to stop this kind of thing.

So its not security based that a casino makes such a rule but rather for the cost I rek.

The day before Ladbrokes introduced this ridiculous term was the last day they were in the running to receive a deposit from me. They claimed it was "temporary", so they clearly need a dictionary.

Yup they ruined a perfectly good product in the end. I remember the cashouts ran like clock work and then started to get stung on the No Neteller rule.
But they are making a fortune with the FOBTS ... ) thats why I see 5 bookies on the same high street. 4 FOBTS per shop. Its nowt to do with horses or hounds these days. So with all that money pouring in they dont really care less about the online casino. A truly crap outfit these days in every respect.

Do the FOBTs take the Neteller Net+ card?

Not sure if a serious question, but no, they consider the Net+, Skrill Mastercard, and Paypal Debit to be credit cards so not acceptable for crediting the machine. They'll happily empty your bank debit card for you though !

That's an oddity in card processing, as although they are neither, they are much closer to debit cards because they allow the spending of money you already have, rather than give credit.

I bet they are classed as credit cards so that the interchange and ATM fees can be higher, rather than because of anything else.

It probably helps in a way because an online player can't lose a decent win directly on the FOBTs without first transferring it to their bank account. It would help even more if they didn't take debit cards, but an ATM was provided instead. This would limit losses to the daily ATM withdrawal limit of the debit card, rather than the entire contents of the bank account.

It was a half serious, half joking, question because online, Ladbrokes HATES players who use Skrill or Neteller, thinking they are out to screw them over rather than "play for entertainment". It would be ironic to be able to use Neteller in a Laddies to deposit in a FOBT, and maybe then take part in a shop promotion
