Hi Folks,
Wanted to get your guys opinion on this.
So i very rarely take bonuses. Find they always come with hassle attached. Only ever take the first deposit bonus because before i start somewhere i like to do my research including a reasonable thorough read of the terms.
Anyway been playing at Casumo a fair amount recently (and losing!) and get an email with a £50 deposit bonus. Was planning on playing there anyway so thought why not take an extra £50. Go to deposit, dont see a link to the terms anywhere around the deposit section. Figured that Casumo has always been decent so shouldnt be any issues. Deposit my usual £150 + £50 bonus
Anyway been playing for a bit and end up with £300 or something like that. Go to check wagering and see a mental amount like £4k left. Totally confused take to live chat where they tell me its all in the FAQ. ok but whats the rule 25x dep +bonus. So i think surely they cap the dep part to the bonus. ie if £50 match bonus max on the deposit taken into the wagering is £50. Nope its the full deposit.
So for me this should be made aboslutely crystal clear when you deposit. If you know this why on earth would you deposit more that the bonus, I know most people here will say read the terms, and yes you are right. But in reality most people dont. For me this is predatory.
I mean imagine a guy depositing £1k decides bugger it will take £50 extra. He gets over £25k to wager for the sake of £50 bonus money. This only takes advantage of those who a) dont read the terms and b)dont understand them.
Anyway would be interested to hear others thoughts.
