I don't think so.I think that Playtech means progressive only one way.
Where is CG "interpretation" clearly written?
As you can see also in Omni's lobby they're classificated in "progressive" such as Diamon V.
But, in the specific it's clearly written in the terms something more...
Is captain treasure , silver, highways and so on progressive? according to you they are.
According to me they're only activating DB:always been in every PLT I played, so I play at in good faith, never thinking they could find such excuses not to pay me, not a minimum doubt.
When I was unsure for one game I asked in chat.
There're 2 point of view:
1) those slots are progressive ever
2) those slots could begin progressive if. And in this case player under no resctriction has a list of them
Nobody can say what's the right interpretation, here
anybody can see the clear interpretation in OMNI terms
If I have a gun in my hands I could become a murder
if I don't shoot or kill anyone I'm not.

j2his is going round and round pointlessly. Have you pmed the rep? Or you could a PAB. I personally think you have not got a leg to stand on but if u r aggrieved take action. You don't seem happy with peoples answers on here.
Yes, there are 2 points of view.
1. The sky is green, if the casino puts it to the T&C. And the one who says the sky is blue, is wrong.
2. The sky is not green even if the casino says so.
I would consider a slot progressive if the possibility of winning the jackpot can not be turned off (like Gladiator Jackpot, Gold Rally etc.) in other words the bet always consists the progressive part.
I don't understand how you're failing to grasp this. Club Golds rules said no progressives right? And the slots you played said above each one - progressive. How does that lead you to think that it is ok to play them?
Every casino is different, and has different rules and terms. Whilst I agree that the WR on CG's bonuses seem quite high, in the case of you getting paid despite playing clearly marked progressive games, you really don't have a leg to stand on.
I do think Club Gold does a good job of labelling their slots to avoid confusion. There are games like The Mummy (Brandon Frasier's movie) that are branded, there's not progressive, and it's not a Marvel slot, and also Gladiator and Kong, also clearly marked in lobby.
Temperance, if you have comp points that are locked up and unavailable since you have closed your account, I do think that's a very valid reason to PAB. Comp points are redeemed as straight cash, but maybe the waters are muddied if you are playing disallowed games without a bonus.
I do like Club Gold and continue to play there. I'm no longer offered the NoWagering bonuses, fair enough, I've did pretty well with them. But despite being well ahead I do still receive bonus offers.
Their support team is among the best I've dealt with online.
Monthly withdrawal limits are low. I knew it when I joined, and like many players thought I'd never be in a position where that mattered. But I'm satisfied with the timeframe I was paid under their terms, although I was a bit of a nervous wreck through most of it. I'm not sure I'd want to wait a year or more for a Marvel progressive to be paid.
The issue is that the slot itself is not a progressive. This is a very unusual situation which is unique to Playtech. Even the different Playtech casinos can't decide among themselves what "progressive" means in this context. With a traditional progressive, the slot itself is progressive, with each bet producing a chance of winning the jackpot. These odd Playtech slots are simply standard slots with the OPTION of playing a second game on the side which is a lottery style game. It is this lottery game that is progressive.
I remember playing Highway Kings years ago, and in no way was this a progressive slot. It still isn't, but Playtech muddied what were once crystal clear waters by introducing this Dollar ball game. If you take the Club Gold view, then the MAJORITY of slots are excluded from promos, not because they are progressive, but because they MIGHT be progressive if both the slot and Dollar Ball games are played.

It just shows that Playtech decided to bodge, rather than develop some more progressive games from scratch.
I suspect operators like Club Gold have deliberately stirred the waters in order to make players work harder at sticking to the terms. They also seem to have deliberately gaffed the cashier to prevent players from checking their WR, something that was VERY important at Casino Plex for one player. The same could befall a player at Club Gold, and they could not prove they had met WR by checking the cashier, which was the defence mounted by Casino Plex.
In terms of risk to the casino, playing Highway Kings with Dollar ball not selected is no different to playing the original version. In terms of PROFIT though, the advantage is obvious. Players can no longer steer clear of falling foul of the terms by playing only on the slots.
Excluded slots is a relatively new thing, as in the past it was manipulation of the table games that gave advantage players the edge, and this edge could often beat any weightings applied to such games, even 0% ones. Now, most players EXPECT not to be allowed near anything that isn't a slot when playing a bonus, so I expect fewer and fewer players were tripping themselves up over the terms. With confiscated winnings falling off the balance sheet, it seems that some operators decided things were getting too clear for players, so they introduced prohibited slots, making even slots players vulnerable to making errors if they didn't thoroughly check the terms.
I am not sure WHY Playtech suddenly introduced this Dollar Ball feature given that almost all Playtech casinos said "no progressives with a bonus". Surely with such a high bonusing model this would just introduce a whole load of games that no-one was allowed to play. It makes no sense unless you consider it to also be a whole new area of entrapment for the players who continue to assume that playing only slots keeps them safe from breaking the terms.
I see more and more slots getting excluded by operators, and soon it will be a case of half a dozen slots you CAN play on a bonus, rather than half a dozen you can't.
Before this absurdity worsens, operators need to realise that the bonus model is probably dead, and it is time to look at something new. Either that, or actually put some pressure on the software providers to NOT develop slots that operators find themselves having to exclude from their promotions.
I would have thought Playtech operators would have asked for Dollar ball NOT to be incorporated on virtually every "regular" slot when it first came out, at which point it WAS a case of there being less than a dozen slots without the option altogether. Instead, they could have developed half a dozen "proper" progressives, and introduced a stand alone Dollar Ball game so that the regular slots were not "polluted" by this option.
Maybe Playtech overestimated the common sense among it's operators, so didn't see this type of problem coming.
Marking them as "progressive" in the lobby does not escape the fact that the rule itself is nonsense.
This nonsense is costing these casinos players through people reading about the misfortunes of others. Even regular players are quitting these casinos because they fear they too will fall foul of another piece of nonsense.
For me, I am seeing what I expect to see from a bunch of white label Playtech casinos, which is why I quit Playtech altogether years ago. I see no signs that Playtech intend addressing these issues, if anything, I see things getting worse than they were when I uninstalled my last Playtech casino, and BEFORE I got shafted by any of this nonsense.
Highway Kings used to be one of my favourites there, and because of this damn dollar ball BS, no longer can be played with a bonus.
I believe Dr Lovemore has not got Dollar Ball, and is far better for grinding out WR anyway, but it can get tedious (although I like the music).
I have yet to see Microgaming casinos exclude slots simply because they are "branded" like we are seeing with Playtech. If you don't know your brands, and the games are not listed, this is another trap for the unwary player who may never have heard of some superhero featured on a slot, and mistakenly play it thinking it to be a made up "house brand" rather than a licensed character.
Your most recent winning was cancelled because you clearly went against the Terms and Conditions of that particular bonus and played on Games that were clearly labelled as progressive!
(clearly? wher's written? didn't know it was a particolar bonus just for me! your clearly labelled as progressive are labelled so at any other casino but without activation they're standard.You play the game in and you're player and arbiter.....Show me where is clearly written they're progressive even if I don't activate the button for progressive Jp.And if they're forbidden , why didn't avoid them , as you low my 9 line bet at 90 cents?or as in other cases for other players acording to their level?)
So, I officialy ask to CasinoMeister, the most important international site in gambling, to provide me the name of the license Company to submit a further protest
Thanks
