Well, the "Christmas Grinch" will be disappointed - I've sent him over to Riverbelle

I suspect this is the usual weekend offer dressed up to feel "Christmassy"

 

[Pepmintpatty]

I got $25.00 from Jackpotfactory

 

[GrandMaster]

My 1st Christmas present was VIP membership and 200 bonus at Paddy Power. I have been extremely lucky there recently, I am starting to get worried that this might be the time when I lose it all back.

How right I was. I managed to lose 150 of my own money on this bonus. I would have been better off playing gift rap at Belle Rock.

Music Hall

My win has been revealed!

It did replace the usual weekend offers, but was 5x bigger

Looks like I'll be winning Munchkin Monday again on Monday

 

[Addisyn]

So far I have been charged for a Neteller withdrawal and now being asked for copies of my debit card. I made a debit card deposit with this casino in September. I am playing on their free $50.00 chip which had no playthrough requirements but which I played with for a long time.

Other than that the I got 100 free spins on Gift Rap, won 7 cents.

I think the Grinch indeed has stolen Christmas!

 

[KasinoKing]

I got a Christmas card from one group - that's all, just a card.

Otherwise - completely zip!

Not even a free $100 token from an RTG so I can play the Real Series Slots for 4 or 5 minutes...

 

[Zoozie]

Other than that the I got 100 free spins on Gift Rap, won 7 cents.
I think the Grinch indeed has stolen Christmas!

Not yet Addisyn! You still have wager 2.1$ to win your 7 cents.

This promotion is so sad I find it funny, seriously.

I know it is a free gift and people can just turn down the offer, but it is a very sophisticated example of how to insult people by giving them a gift.

Very good point.

In some countries you are expected to tip for service in a restaurant. If the service is really bad - what I do is tip 1 cent. Not tipping just makes you look like a cheapskate. Tipping 1 cent sends a very strong message, just as tipping 20% does.

 

[Addisyn]

So basically Belle Rock Group just sent a very strong message to their players.

Zoozie I'm not playing it through. I have actually refused their gift. LOL... Do you think they will get my message?

It is rather funny. What makes it so funny is they are serious about this being a bona fide promotion!

I got one of these Xmas 'offers' from Music Hall, also. But do I want to re-install just to see what my bonus would be? I mean... I'm still having to download new games, or finish downloading new games at the few MGs I still play. Do I reallllly want to spend forever D/L a complete casino -- again?

Roxy cut me off from all their newsletters/bonuses (which were crap anyway) a loooong time ago. I was only ahead a few hundred -- but they didn't like the way I played and I didn't like them sticking puny bonuses into my account while I was playing. I deposit, play VP, play slots, lose -- but if I win, I withdraw it all and NEVER reverse. I jumped all over them for sneaking me a $7 bonus while I was playing (before EZBonus days) which made them reverse a cashout because I hadn't completed WR which I didn't know about. They did let me cash out minus bonus but it was not a pleasant experience.

 

[babs7262]

nada

got nothing but expect nothing. Ive only been playing at 2 or 3 casinos

 

[Mousey]

Well... I couldn't resist... I had to find out... 25% bonus. Pffffttt! Of course, I'm something of a new player there, so I really didn't expect much.

 

[Peaceful1]

Don't know if this was a "Christmas" bonus per se, but I got a generous mailing ($100- no deposit) from Big Dollar. Technically, worked out very well, met the WRs (EZ Bonus)...played for a few days to a pretty hefty sum. In the end, well..I don't wanna talk about it...(my fault, not theirs). I'm pretty sure you guys can figure it out

 

[Peaceful1]

Don't you wish some of the online casinos could just "spit out" the winnings and flush a withdrawal as soon as it reaches a certain amount (kinda like when the casinos that close close for the day and you just can't play anymore..but have your money)

 

[cynthial]

Shocked and Delighted

Seasons Greetings to all, I found a hefty $500 bonus in my Platinum Play account. I believe I may have gotten an e-mail which said your bonus has been posted but I did not even notice which casino (figured it was small) then went to deposit and play last night and nearly fell off my chair. Been with the group for about 6 months. No major withdrawals but not a vulgar amount of deposits either (less than $2000.00) Great fun! Everyone should check all their accounts as you may not even know you got one

What is an EZ bonus?

 

[KasinoKing]

What is an EZ bonus?

The 'standard' Microgaming bonus system. (Grand Prive Group call it an EZ bonus)
Total turnover normally Bonusx30. All games count at different %'s.
e.g. slots are 100%, Blackjack as low as 2% in some casinos.
Bonus converted to real cashable money as you play, no need to complete the full WR - you can forfeit any outstanding bonus & cashout anytime.

got $10 at Cocoa/Paradise8/DaVinci...........I did manage to get one of them up to $50 for a cashout. (i must not reverse.......i must not reverse......i must not reverse)

VIP Level

Well... I couldn't resist... I had to find out... 25% bonus. Pffffttt! Of course, I'm something of a new player there, so I really didn't expect much.

Strange you got this, you are supposed to have played the day before - how did you manage this with the casino uninstalled

I am at Platinum level, so I expect that this was not one of the promotional prizes, but an enhanced weekend offer depending on VIP level. My usual weekend offers are 100% to 100, so 100% to 500 is an improvement, and seems to be the thread champion at present for deposit related offers at least.

The wooden spoon still sits on the BelleRock banqueting table

Have no idea VWM... that is what popped up when I clicked on the holiday calendar in the software. Maybe they're just trying to entice me into playing there again. (I hate to tell them that 25% doesn't even make my deposit finger twitch. )

Yours does seem the nicest of the match offers. Good luck! Hope you hit a nice fat jackpot.

 

[worldly]

I got $100 from bigdollar but thats about it.

 

[vinylweatherman]

Don't bank on it!

I have had fantastic runs all month at this group, and from earlier. These include 5 scatters on Spring Break within free spins (4000), 5 scatter start on bigger bet (6000), and 4 Thors in the bonus round on max bet of 11.25 for over 8000.
I also ran 50 to 1000 two weeks ago trying to get rid of it

On Thurday my luck deserted me, and 300 became 45 as Thunderstruck dropped stone dead in the opening hours of the Thursday Thunder tournament.

Music Hall is the most unlucky account I have with them, so they were shrewd to offer this bonus there rather where I have recently given their casinos a thrashing.

So confident** was I, that I spun Munchkin Monday at 52 per spin - a new "Vinyl Record" (Sorry!)* I even got the bonus round, but no huge fortune as would have surely been the case in "free" mode, a mere 1500

After such an outstanding display of recklessness, I thought I had better make sure I was taking my medication properly








* No I'm not!

[darkpixie]

I guess they haven't fixed thier slots yet... my big win after 20 free spins!

 

[EasyRhino]

Winning $9.57 after 20 spins at 45 cents a spin seems to be right around expected value?

 

[Mousey]

Look at the upper left, Rhino. Darkpixie won $1.80 from all the free spins.

I've played this game, got 4 retriggers betting $1.50 a spin and won even less than that. However, in other sessions I got some decent returns on the bonus rounds. Personally, I think this particular game plays much better than all the other feature slots they have. At least I've seen the features. LOL

 

[AussieDave]

I guess they haven't fixed thier slots yet... my big win after 20 free spins!

I would have agreed with you, but, I got this over there a few weeks ago, so I know that they pay out...Link below not Cleopatra, yet I got the 4 coins at that paid out 5575 cons (playing $3.75 a spin). So it can happen.

[soflat]

I agree. That slot is just like the others that everyone was complaining about.

Not only that, the video poker is limited to 25-cent coins max when you play with a bonus. Talk about bush league!

These guys are absolutely terrified someone might actually win big.

Update: In today's snail mail I received a $10 stocking stuffer bonus from JPF, and also a huge envelope from Big Dollar bearing the $100 'no strings' bonus (these mailings must cost a small fortune to distribute!). Have not played either yet.

 

[Peaceful1]

Mousey, I hope you had the same luck I did with the Big Dollar bonus (initially, anyway - I had gotten up to over $700 even after meeting the WRs-posted quite a few of these in the "Winner Screenshots" thread, but was stupid enough to keep playing thinking I was on such a "miracle lucky streak" and lost it all...) But the spins/wins were great, kept hitting the feature on just about everything (as long as you bet max, and with this bonus you can afford to do so) and even hit the Wheel of Wealth three or four times in one session...

If you get up there, heck, even if you clear the WRs and make off with $100..take the money and run!!!!

 

[Peaceful1]

DON'T DO IT!!! Anything won off of something free is a MUST to take the money and run! Hell, uninstall it if you need to and just check your withdrawal status via email!

I'd had it up to $700 or $800 and when I'd completed a bit more wagering and my balance was dropping like a stone, I put on the brakes. I bailed out before completing WR, dumping about $40 of the bonus, cashing out $400 off playing Jingle Bells, Fortuna, and Cash Clams. Now, let's see if they give me grief over not completing the WR. The $100 was 'no strings', and the cashier let me dump the bonus and cash out, so there shouldn't be a problem. *Crossing my fingers.* These days ya never know when a casino is going to take exception to a withdrawal.

JPF free $10: I busted out in minutes playing minimum 20 cents bets. Never got above my starting balance.

Ive just worked it out.
That Bellrock bonus equates to a

Good for you, Mousey.. I'm very proud. It's like its some magical software CD or something. When I had a conflicting file download after logging off and trying to get back in, I had to uninstall and reinstall...and when I logged back in the wins were hitting left and right! Then at a certain point, as your getting closer to narrowing the bonus balance down to zero..it starts dropping. I know, sounds crazy, just my quirky theory I guess.

Well, I got a $15 manager bonus from Inetbet..and very proud of myself, cashed out at $100 withdrawable (never really noticed any playthrough balance, but didn't check till later..so who knows). I feel on top of the world now, especially that I've learned when to stop. More Christmas presents!!

 

[ternur]

Got thrown away from the monthly bonus list. Merry Xmas from 32RED.

Little Xmas gift from 32RED - who else? Hurrah!

 

[mikepipe]

Now!
I got 20 free spins from Fortune Lounge on a phantastic slot - you wont guess which----

its gift rap!

20 spins at 25 lines and one coin (2 cent)
( 1 made a roaring 10,80 out of that)

 

[1819]

got 30 from inet. i think it was just the manager bonus though. gone in 17 seconds. lol. realm of riches bonus on second spin. retrigger. ended up with 6 times the bet!

 

[AussieDave]

Nothing here yet, though I'm think Fortune Lounge should come good for a few bucks seeing I'm a VIP and all...

If your reading this Wim, wink wink, nudge nudge

 

[Slotster!]

Can the Aussies do it for the ashes

Clearly, yes.

 

[mikepipe]

... and a nice one from 32red!

 

[spearmaster]

I must be on a lot of shitlists... LOL... I got $25 combined at Grand Prive but I don't think those were X'mas bonuses... they've probably been sitting there for a few months.

Had a good time with it, mind you, but lost in the end. The whole point was the entertainment, though, and I did get that, so thank you GP

 

[cynthial]

Regarding my earlier post

Earlier in this thread I posted that I had gotten a $500 Xmas bonus from Plat Play, well it turns out it was not for x-mas. I wrote to Fortune Lounge and they responded that I had opted in on a promo back in October called International Casino Games Kicker 1 Competition, my name was picked and I won the $500. Funny they never sent me an e-mail announcing that I had won, they just put the money in my account on Dec 6th. I had great fun playing the $500 trying all the new games. Merry Christmas to all.

 

[chuchu59]

That's a double negative. You should say "I am expecting fuck all" or "I am not expecting anything from those tight-arsed bastards"

No offence intended but my British schoolmates all had the same problem. "I ain't doing nothing' is a common phrase". They dont care a damn about grammar.

Some speakers avoid any of the preceding forms by substituting Isn't that so (true, the case)? Ain't occurs in humorous or set phrases: Ain't it the truth! She ain't what she used to be. It ain't funny. The word is also used for emphasis: That just ain't so! It does not appear in formal writing except for deliberate effect in such phrases or to represent speech.
