I'm sorry Nifty but now you are quoting things that were never said.
I never said I had played at Bet at EU, let alone break their terms. I just said I was aware of their term, which is what you encourage people to do, looking at some of your posts.
You have come to the conclusion that I am somehow an 'AP' and you don't have sympathy for me. Another assumption, which you have discouraged in this thread.
Edit: Ok I did say I had played there, but I honestly can't remember if I did now. I DID read their terms though, and I definitely didn't break any of them.
I apologise for saying you had "done it before". It was a mistake on my behalf.
However, based on your playing style and points of view, I'll stick with my opinion that you are an advantage player.....nothing particularly wrong with that in itself, except that APs are the reason ALL of us have to read through and abide by draconian amounts and types of rules i.e. because APs spend day and night looking for loopholes and ways to exploit them. If APs/you stick by the rules and win....awesome...good for you....but don't expect everyone is going to start sobbing and saying "oh that poor player" when you make a mistake in your calculations or "accidentally" bet too big.
The problem that APs can run into....and you have done it here....is that they play large coin values on low numbers of lines to increase the variance etc and try to beat the bonus, which leaves themselves open to "accidents".
For example, if an average Joe is playing a 30 line slot 30 lines at 5c coin value @1 coin per line ($1.50), and hits max bet by accident, the spin will be $15 (30x 5c x 10 coins per line) and they will almost never fall foul of the bonus terms.
However, an AP playing 15 lines on the same slot at 50c coin value @10 coins per line ($75 per spin) to stay under the max limit, and hits max bet by accident, will end up with a $150 spin which will almost always break the terms.
So, you can see why there is an inherent danger in that kind of play (which is very common amongst APs). Whether you actually ARE what I would call an AP or not, that kind of play increases your risk or breaking the rules by a huge margin....but I am sure you know this already.
IMO, you knowingly take the risk, which you did by playing close to the "line", then you take the consequences when something goes wrong. Accept it was down to you one way or another, and move on. After all, it was only 7.5 x your deposit. I wonder if there would be as many people supporting you, or even if you would have bothered posting, if you had deposited $20 and you were out $140. I doubt it. The amount should not matter.....if you're going to deposit $1000 at a time, make sure you take precautions if you can't afford to lose it due to "accidents". Or better still, at that other place where they make you wager 10x the extra bet or whatever. I believe 32Red does something similar but it is 100x your total winnings, which is better than losing the lot...but you made the choice to play somewhere that doesn't have such rules, and that is YOUR problem.
