After reading some positive things here, I chanced a Neteller move today, in this era of US state-sponsored anti-gambling terrorism. I put $750 into a new account with Bet365 and they credited another $200 to the account. I have generally stayed away from bonuses except for Bodog's. Now I'm not sure I should keep this money.
To wit, here are the bonus terms:
I have highlighted the three stipulations of particular interest. For one, if I had only deposited $200, the WR requirement wouldn't be so onerous ($4800, $400x12), especially if I followed up the $550 in a second deposit. As of now, am I to understand I must wager $11,400 ($950x12) to clear the bonus?
At least I gather from Section (e) that, unless my account balance falls below the $200 amount, I will not be wagering the actual bonus dollars at any time, thus my winnings ought be fully available. Is this correct?
As it stands, should I opt out of this bonus, or is it wise to keep it?
To wit, here are the bonus terms:
a) Qualifying customers will have their account credited with a matched bonus up to a maximum GBP100. 100% match up on your first single deposit/transfer of casino chips.
b) The bonus will only be awarded once you have purchased chips.
c) The bonus may only be redeemed once cumulative wagers totalling not less than 12 times the sum total of your deposit and your bonus have been placed. Bonus funds may not be cashed until this handle has been met.
d) Where a customer makes a withdrawal or transfer out of their casino account prior to the rollover requirement being met, they will lose any bonus or winnings attributable to their bonus .
e) Any Wagers will use your own deposited money before the bonus balance.
f) Only wagers made on real money games will contribute to the wagering requirement.
g) Wagers made on any variation of Roulette, Baccarat, Craps, Sic Bo and Pai Gow Poker games will not contribute to the wagering requirements.
h) Any use of bonus funds to wager on any variation of Roulette, Baccarat, Craps, Sic Bo and Pai Gow Poker games is not permitted and will result in the loss of any bonus and winnings attributable to their bonus.
