[Nate]

Just FYI - Received this via email. Don't know how it compares to their current offers but players should be aware nonetheless:

'On GOWILD.com wagering will be set to 35x applied to the bonus and deposit amount.

On Wild Jackpots wagering will be set to 35x applied to the bonus and deposit amount.

On Astralbet.com wagering will be set to 35x applied to the bonus and deposit amount.
3.1. The 1st deposit bonus will no longer be tiered and players can now claim 100% bonus up to EUR 3000 /30000 kr. The new Starter Kit will be advertised as "up to 3000 EUR and 129 spins in bonuses for your first 3 deposits".

On GOWILD UK we have capped the winnings from bonuses to GBP 1000.That means that players who wish to withdraw winnings generated by playing with bonuses will have a limit of GBP 1000.
4.1. Furthermore in order to alling ourselves to new UK Industry standards, all wagering requirements now refer to bonuses exclusively; players can withdraw their cash balance at any time irrepsective of having any active bonus or not'

I know there are one or two typos in spelling but i'm just pasting the info

Thoughts on this and how it compares to their current offers for those who play there?

still some pretty awful terms -

The bonus granted is for wagering purposes only and will be deducted upon withdrawal.

If you have yet to complete the Playthrough Requirements (wagering requirements) of a bonus granted to you and you receive another bonus, you must complete the Playthrough Requirements (wagering requirements) of the first bonus, and only on completion of the Playthrough Requirements (wagering requirements) for the first bonus will you be able to begin to fulfill the Playthrough Requirements (wagering requirements) of the next bonus.

feels like the whole library
worse is - while all those contribute 0%..even PLAYING them equals this - 10. We reserve the right to void any winnings generated should you play on any 0% contribution games before fulfilling the Playthrough Requirements (wagering requirements).

but anyway, add to all that the lack of rep response - https://www.casinomeister.com/forums/threads/gowild-casino-i-see-why-theyre-grey-zoned.83093/ id say avoid a bonus.
Ive seen other players are ok with their serivices I guess if you go ahead do a straight up dep.

According to their UK bonus T&C, it's only the first deposit bonus, which is capped at £1,000

12. Winnings generated from the Welcome Bonus (First (1st) deposit bonus) will be capped to a maximum withdrawal amount of 1,000 GBP after bonus deduction (Please refer to Term 18).


The wagering is 35x D+B. But apparently including the deposit is just for 'calculation purposes', since cash and bonus are separated, and wagering only applies when playing bonus funds

Why can't they just say the wagering is 70xB ??

oh, and the bonus amount is removed after wagering is complete.

Absolutely sickening.

I hope they win the award for worst casino of the year next time around because holy crap I think they are trying to EARN that award

 

[goatwack]

It's casinos like this that try to push the boundaries as far as they can whilst continuing to get away with it. I take it no one's in a hurry to prevent them doing so and effectively 'extracting the urine' out of its players I take it?

They must still get those hapless new sign- ups, or those blinkered loyal players that keep coming back for more, or else they surely wouldn't pull such a stunt

If I didnt have 10k and counting emails in my hotmail ( we already established I am a email hoarder) I would dig up an email from about 8 years ago, and they would be rouge! Horrible casino that I would never go back to. And honestly, when has anyone ever seen me say that? Never.

This has absolutely nothing to do with moving towards new industry standards and has everything to do with complying with consumer protection law. Big difference.

Yeah all they are doing is just trying to appear to be following the new UKGC wager rule and just adding a disgusting cap for the bonuses as well.

The fact that the bonus is in essence 70X Wager is pretty much enough for me never to make a new account with them now they have a UKGC license. And also the fact Live chat is dreadful and also WD times is also dreadful.

But as I said in previous posts in other threads. A lot of casinos are now removing neteller and skrill as deposit/withdraw options. So the fact withdraws are only fast because of those ewallets, gowild and 32red and many others will just be the normal timeframe for withdrawals via bank wire or back to debit cards anyway. So it could be gone are the days where ewallets made withdraws pretty much instant to back to waiting times of 3-5 days as standard. And yes it sucks, but how can we even fight it when more and more casinos are removing neteller and skrill as deposit and withdraw options?

 

[dionysus]

tbh if bank WD is the only option it will have 0 impact on me as many major e sources pulled out of Canada already anyway.

Sickening how some of the biggest money guzzlers out there are on the "0% list"

Gambling by definition is risking money is it not? - Someone should tell these guys that

Im not playing right often nowadays, but I check the excluded slots on casino's everytime now.
You used to know the usual suspects, but now anything is getting thrown in there.
Good thing about the Caddell sites is that your bonus money doesnt show if you open an excluded slot up.

Yeah matey very good, basically can't go wrong.

If it were not for their erratic decisions, this group could be top of the tree, what with their huge selection of games, regular bonuses, not locking cash balance, fair WR etc. Especially if they came here and went for accreditation.
