[spintee]

Received another bonus offer from BGO

Main parts of email:;

I’ll tell you what, top up with a tenner using the code SPIN10 and I’ll give you £10 and 20 free spins on Starburst!

small print::


T&C's: Promo code SPIN10 is only valid for your account on your next £10 deposit and will expire in 2 Days. Min deposit of £20, max bonus of £10

Min deposit £20? Does not make sense

Best to contact live help they may allow you to do it with 10 as otherwise they are false advertising if it's minimum deposit 20 then it should say so point out to them on the site or the rep on here

 

[paul@bgo]

Erm...yea, that's obviously wrong.

I'll get it checked!

[paul@bgo]

Email fixed - good spot spintee, ping me your username and i'll comp you for the help!

As for Neteller and Skrill, you wouldn't believe me if I told you the full story so I can only apologise and say it's still in the works. Once we're up and running with our Playtech platform hopefully we will be able to get more payment methods live.

Cheers

Bgo promisssed add skrill and netteler from over 12 months and nothing -they still work without e-wallets.

This is very bad for them - They can offered great bonuses ( they have good welcome bonuses) they can make TV promotions , invest in advertisement with popular people like Dan Bilzerian - Also they can offered good money for affiliate partners But they never got a lot depostiors from all world Without E-wallet.


True is now is very hard make deposit to BGO.

Lets say true now deposit with credit cards work corectly for Uk Players - and usually not work good for players from other countries - Players outside UK usualy got message transactions impossible pleased contact with your brank when we try make deposit using credit card in BGO ( same card work good in most other casinos).

Other methods Ukash ? players can make deposit with Ukash but how player next make withdrawal ? with same method Ukash ..... People got Ukash code in GBP currency and need put in other casino .......

Bgo owner Losee A LOT becose from over 12 month cant finnaly add e-wallets more then 50% players complain and say they dont play in bgo becose they dont offered e-wallets and credit cards deposit not work ( work only for Uk mayby few more country but most players from other countries got error when try deposit with credit card to bgo).

For now is harder make succes deposit to Bgo then Win.

If they add ewallets and live chat then depositors traffic go more then 100% UP

And im personaly think bgo is very good casino but without e-wallets they realy lose A LOT potencial depositors.

Is the intention to have Playtech in addition the existing games or replace them? Despite the lack of e-wallet support (which would make life a lot easier) I'm enjoying the site in general and spending a lot of my playtime on the site, It'd be a shame if we lost the current line up. I know everyone on here has different favourites but imho playtech's game selection is pretty poor in comparison to netent/microgaming.

 

[paul@bgo]

We're adding Playtech to the current lineup. We will lose some content unfortunately but I dare say it's not the most popular stuff. Our own branded games will be down for a while whilst we work on an integration though. eWallets are high in the priority list I assure you. We almost had everything completed when we did the deal with Playtech and with that comes a new cashier, which means all the work we did was redundant

As for Dead or Alive - I can't see it returning any time soon I'm afraid. We have commercial reasons for taking it down.

I personally give up playing here. I had a 50% deposit offer yesterday and thought you know what- I will have a bit of that- so I looked at the bonus terms- and I am not going to lie- I was absolutely mind boggled at trying to work the terms out with the way it is written.

"For example, redeeming a £10 bonus with a 5x wagering requirement (£10 x 5 = £50 wagering requirement), the Player may meet the wagering requirement in the following ways:

By spending £50 on Bingo tickets (£50 / 100% = £50)
By wagering £200 on Slot games (£50 / 25% = £200)
By wagering £1,000 on Video Poker (£50 / 5% = £1,000)
By wagering £2,000 on Blackjack, Baccarat and Table Poker games (£50 / 2.5% = £2,000)
Where a deposit is required to trigger a bonus, the sum of the triggering deposit and the bonus amount awarded will need to be wagered to meet the wagering requirement.

For example, the Player claims a 200% bonus with a 5x wagering requirement:

A £10 deposit is made and £20 in bonus is awarded (£10 x 200% = £20 Bonus)
The wagering requirement is (£10 Deposit + £20 Bonus) x 5 = £150 Wagering Requirement"


Obviously the games at BGO contribute different amounts- for slots it is 25% contribution to the wagering requirements. I know I'm not the most mathematical person in the world - but then I asked someone who is quite handy at maths- although he had sunk a few beers he also was baffled!

I then went on Live Chat- I asked the lady if I deposit £25 and receive a 50% bonus of £12.50, exactly what would be the wagering if slots only contribute 25%- I was told the total would be......wait for it.................£750 ..... Now I'm not one for swearing in public forums but WTF!!!

That is basically 60x wagering required for a £12.50 bonus- that to me is ridiculous, stupid, outrageous and any other terms that describe such a wagering requirement. What annoys me even more with BGO is why the hell these terms are written like this! Why don't they just change the slot contribution of 25% to a 100%? why don't they if they cannot do that change the terms so that they are written in the most simplest form possible!

Either way what ever way the terms are written, x60 for a £12.50 bonus has sealed the deal for me to never go back playing there now until there are changes!

Would love to know what other people think about this, am I wrong that x60 is harsh? Am I just thick and these terms are understandable to everyone else but me? haha!

 

[spintee]

£750 is on the money if deposit 25 with 12.50 bonus, A hell of a lot to wager on a small bonus, Also take note that there is also some games that do not count, along with max bet rule ect, The site is a half decent site, Just sort out them bonus terms I mean I personal think no deposit money should carry a wager and just the deposit & when also have to wager it on a rubbish depost % than it does take the pi$$,

Yes a bonus is optional but I do not see the point most of the time as its not going to be accomplished so might as well play free mode

Spot on! I noticed some games are excluded

I also agree that the site is decent, that I cannot question! I also do not question the trustworthiness of the site - due to making a withdrawal on my first ever deposit when the site first came out, and Paul being top notch in his responses and CS- to which still seems to be the case to this day!!

It just depresses me that bonus terms need a degree to work out, or are so high as in this case for a small bonus. I know there are not on their own in this regard though! It was only yesterday me and my brother was saying how we do not like these "bonus+deposit amount" wagering requirements! Not only are they hardly ever achievable, but to be honest it puts it highly in the casino's favor! Ladbrokes do it, so does the Sky Casino (not Vegas).

As you say though bonuses are optional but they shouldn't be almost un-achievable if a player takes one! I like my bonuses, but like with Guts- I've deposited loads there and always taken bonuses- non of which I have ever achieved to wager due to crap returns while playing, but essentially if I didn't take a bonus at Guts with my deposits I wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes! Swings and roundabouts I guess!


haha might as well play in free mode sooooo trueee!

 

[Harry_BKK]

One other clause i found in their bonus T&C's which i have never seen in more than 15 years of online gaming. Although i opened an account with them just yesterday they won't see a deposit from me, especially since i can't withdraw to Neteller, Skrill or Ecopayz

• Bonus bets do not contribute towards the bonus wagering requirement

So if your lose your cash balance bets played from the bonus balance will not count towards the wagering requirements. You have to first win a few to get back above the bonus balance and then only the bets you're playing from the cash balance will contribute to your wagering. That is some utter BS. :machinegu

As said i registered yesterday and today received already their first spammer.... deposit 10$ and get 500%, so 50$ extra, total 60$ to play with. But let's do the maths first as I can only use the 10$ to make my wagering. Since i only play slots here is the calculation:

50 bonus chips x 5 = 250$ wagering requirement ... but at 250 in wagers i only achieved 62.50 from the total requirement as slots only count 25%. So i will have to manage 1000$ in bets from my 10$ cash balance!!!!!!!!

Supercheeky from them to advertise a 5x only wagering requirement and simultaneously reducing the slots contribution to only 25%!!!! It is the same as Kellog's would make it's packaging larger and reduce the content of it's cornflakes, which in normal life is called cheating the customer.

I thought CM accredited casinos should have clear and fair rules, this one clearly has not.

I believe that have been discussed before and have to do with them earlier being a bingosite.
5x is probably still the wagering when it comes to bingo, and normal for bingosites.

I took the 500% bonus when I first signed up I have to admit I was skeptical about ever making play-through but I did make it through and made a withdrawal! Never been able to replicate a withdrawal from a bonus since though! But the same for Guts, made a withdrawal on the first deposit, never been close on any deposit since were I have taken a bonus!

I guess it is just one of them sites were if you are to play it will be best to do without a bonus.

 

[shanetospin]

Yeah it is at BGO x5 when it comes to bingo- the difference being that bingo contributes 100%, therefore a £10 bonus would just need to be wagered to just £50.

 

[Tirilej]

But it's a lot harder to wager bingo bonuses. Don't ask me why. I don't play bingo
I just know that's why it says 5x and then 25% on slots.
They could of course change the wagering to 100% on slots and then 400% on bingo and raise the wagering to 20x.
I guess that will be more confusing for some people

Very true, I don't play Bingo either for that exact reason.

To be fair though they could change the wagering to 100% on slots and raise the wagering to 20x but at least that would be more transparent for the player to actually work out, much easier than the current way anyway haha!!

I don't mind the different calculation, i can still do some maths (got an university degree in maths some 22 years ago)

What i find very unfair is the clause:

Bonus bets do not contribute towards the bonus wagering requirement

This means you have to wager 100 x your deposit of 10$ only from your deposit amount to be able to withdraw the 50 bonus bucks you get with their 500% promo. And that is pretty hard to achieve, to say the least!!!!

Add that you cannot withdraw to E-wallets makes this site a definite NO-GO for me.

 

[Harry_BKK]

I took the 500% bonus when I first signed up I have to admit I was skeptical about ever making play-through but I did make it through and made a withdrawal!

I guess it is just one of them sites were if you are to play it will be best to do without a bonus.

WTG, i guess you have been one of the very few lucky ones to achieve that!!!

 

[spintee]

With the bonus does not count, Im sure thats not right hopefully Paul can explain that one,

There is lots of bingo sites now getting stocked up on a number of casino game platforms & also you can withdraw on most but will lose bonus, Unsure if BGO is the same, Low you do lose what ever bonus is left on the sites with this, Many sites run different even with casinos,
Take betat for example that does not hold your cash if not touch bonus and also wager counts from the start but also with free spins come with a wager, Now take guts You funds are locked in from the start but when comes to spins the are wager free, Two top notch sites but complete different wager terms,

Again BGO is a fantastic site with losts going on, The bonus terms could be written better and email promos could do with the same, With the rep on here also great and will sort out any problems,

 

[Jono777]

Missues plays BGO a lot and has asked a few times about the 'return of DOA' (maybe an idea for a new game there n all )

She repeatedly been told, maybe one day so IMO I don't reckon they will ever have it back, don't think they can handle the payouts available on the game pmsl

 

[paul@bgo]

don't think they can handle the payouts available on the game pmsl

Peanuts compared to the volatility of other Netent games!

As for the bonus terms, I have absolutely no idea where that one has come from and I'll get it removed. I assure you bonus bets to contribute towards the wagering requirement and always have done, I suspect this is a legacy term that has found it's way back in at some point. Either way, it's not the case.

The wagering requirements are based on Deposit+Bonus - this has pro's and con's but I personally think it is a better system as it means the higher % offers are considerably more attractive than a flat bonus requirement. For example, a £10 deposit + £10 bonus will mean £400 in wagers, or 40x the bonus. If you claim the 500% opening offer with us, that would be £10 + £50 bonus = £1,200 in wagering, or 24x the bonus.

Like I say, pro's and con's for both operator and player.

this could be helpful but wait no neteller come on im waiting , do like your own brand of slots though that dinosaur one

Paul, your prompt reply is appreciated and thanks for removing that clause. A bonus is always a double sided sword, you get more buck and playtime for your deposit but the wagering will tie you in for some considerable time where you have to be very cautious to avoid busting out. Obviously, we players prefer to have wagering requirements as low as possible and making the wagering requirement is very often seen as a challenge

However, i will have to wait with a deposit until you will accept Neteller, Ecopayz, Skrill or Entropay.
