This raises all sorts of questions. Which NetEnt game would you place a single bet of £100 or even £200 on? Can you imagine if you got a bonus or a jackpot on a £200 spin?

Personally, I find this promo a little irresponsible, but anyone willing to go in big would hope for two scatters on their first spin otherwise you have just tied your deposit to 35 times wagering

If you have the guts to do this promo, even at small bets of £25/£50 please post a screenshot

"small bets of £25/£50"

Come on Nicola; we're not all rich you know

Anyway, I might give this a crack on payday.

Deposit £20 and lose and I'll get £20 back with 35x wagering, which is £700.

I know of casino's where if you deposit £10 and receive an extra £10, you have £20 to play; with 80x wagering (D+B), making £1600.

So, seems a fair enough promo to me compared to some other predatory casino's out there.

 

[RichyJ75]

Thought I would give them a go, but after every 20 spins or so, game would freeze and message come up saying game is unavailable? Reload the page then all ok for a little while, then same again.

Oh well, patience is a virtue they say!

 

[RichyJ75]

all is forgiven .....

Nice win!! I'm guessing with the imposed 'up to 48 hour wait' for the bonus you can withdraw as bonus funds have not been added yet? This is ripe for abuse from the masses if the case

Having a look through the games, most slots have a cap of £100.00 per spin apart from TWIN SPIN a £125.00 and SPINTA GRANDE at £200.00 (that one would be suicide)

I feel a max bet of £75.00 on FLOWERS would be my best bet as that game generally pays something on each spin. Not in no rush of course

Well, tried a withdrawal and it asks to wait a full 24 hours when a new card is added, which as it is a new account, the card has just been added!

Hmmmm, oh well, no patience on this. So much so I have just lost £100 of what I wanted to withdraw! Nevermind, still making a profit on what is left. Time for bed now!!

You could be well shafted, It states you have to complete wager once opted in, So if you opt in and win I guess you cannot opt out so will have to wager, Ok if you hit big, but for a small roller to deposit £10 have a £10 spin win like £300 but than hit by a £350 wager req

Ok if you deposit like 100 or 200 and have a £5 bet as you would have to only wager less than x2 deposit

Bin that, I have just seen this

MB Casino’s Rollover Requirements require you to roll over any Bonus Funds awarded to you and any winnings made using these at least 35 time

Does not make sense

I'm surprised that no one has considered Blackjack or even better Roulette. £200 on a Roulette bet RED or BLACK triggers the whole bonus but it's not completely sick like a £200 spin
With Blackjack it might be a problem if you get a hand where you need to double/split with a £200 bet.

 

[Jono777]

£100 is a lot to me £200 is a full month budget ...almost.

I would not even consider it, I'm way too responsible and stick to my low rolling

Are they joking! So if you deposit £100, have a £100 spin, and win say £3000, which is quite possible as its only 30x stake, you would then have to wager £108500 before you can cashout!
I certainly won't be taking advantage of that generous offer!

I am not sure, But if so than yes a BIG wager

Where did you see that - you're right it makes NO SENSE AT ALL!!!
If that is in their T&Cs, this this casino is extremely dodgy and everyone should avoid it like the plague.

If the terms are only that you have to turn over the bonus granted 35 times, but can keep the winnings (with no WR) if your spin is a good one - I would definitely take this offer with the max of £200.

Which game though? That's a tricky one. Obviously Blackjack or Roulette if allowed. But if it had to be a slot... well I guess it doesn't make much difference - whichever one you chose, you need a lucky spin!

KK

 

[dunover]

I see nobody has mentioned the max cashout weekly/monthly on the site. Could be very important if you hit a 5-reel WD or 5 scatters on DoA.

You're telling me that if you got 500x on a 100 stake all would be rosy in the garden?

I can only see blood suckers is excluded,

It could be if you done a £50 bet than that will be bonus when they credit, now this has got a 35x wager but are they going to put a wager on any wins from the £50? as well

It also states that you canot do the 50/50 etc such as Black Red

If its only the original bet than you hit a mother load than all will be g0od, But like Dunover's just pointed out whats the max take out and all that

 

[spintee]

After reading more I think the rules are mush mash, looked at the high roller terms and this,

Stake €2000 or more on your first bet on the Casino and we will give you a bonus of €500.

You’ll receive the bonus once you have placed a stake of at least €10 on any Casino game.

So when the say STAKE I think they mean deposit

Hello Colin. My name is Harry how can I help you?
Colin says:
Hi Harry, I've a question about the casino 100% sign up bonus
Colin says:
it says its 100% match for the first stake, so if I want to deposit £100 to get £100 bonus does that mean I have to stake £100 one ONE spin of a slot
Harry says:
Stake up to £/€/$200 in one bet on the first game that you play on MB Casino and you will receive a 100% match bonus subject to our wagering requirements for use on MB Casino (the ‘Bonus Funds’). For example, if you stake £/€/$10 on your first game on MB Casino, you will receive Bonus Funds in the amount of £/€/$10 to use on MB Casino.
Colin says:
yes, thanks I have read the offers terms, I am asking if it is worded correctly?
Colin says:
it is stake not deposit bonus?
Harry says:
Correct, it is the stake.
Colin says:
so then if I won £3000 from that, which is only 30 times stake, I would then have to wager £108,500.00 before I could cashout?
Harry says:
You only need to rollover your bonus funds.
Colin says:
your terms say bonus funds, AND winnings
Colin says:
MB Casino’s Rollover Requirements require you to roll over any Bonus Funds awarded to you and any winnings made using these at least 35 times. For the purposes of rollover, every bet placed on MB Casino contributes towards meeting the rollover requirements whether you win or lose that bet.
Harry says:
Winnings from your bonus funds.
Harry says:
That would be from your bonus funds, Colin.
Harry says:
Is there anything else I can do for you?
Colin says:
so if i deposit £100, stake £100 win £3000, I can withdraw that, and get £100 bonus 48 hours later that can be used at any stake level, but £100 + the winnings from that would have be be rolled over 35 times?
Harry says:
That should be correct, Colin.
Harry says:
since this isnt outlined clearly in the terms and conditions. I will follow up with the casino team before giving you an 100% answer
Harry says:
Is there anything else I can do for you in the mean time?
Colin says:
no thank you, shall I wait for an answer or do you want to email me?
Harry says:
We will email you once theres an answer

 

[5ta]

Yup

 

[RichyJ75]

Well, I'm still trying to make a withdrawal. Just had a live chat session and they say deposits take 48 hours to clear instead of the 24 hours stated when trying to make a withdrawal. Coincidentally bonus amounts are added 48 hours after deposit, so I am half expecting problems making a withdrawal if they add a bonus on the account and WR is not fulfilled.

I am not feeling optimistic by issues based around withdrawals so far ..... we shall wait and see what happens tomorrow (assuming I don't lose what is left on the account!)

 

[slotter999]

I'd be tempted to go with gonzos quest for this.

A single spin at £200 would be almost certainly be suicide (if even possible on gonzo...might be £100 max).

Let's see if the casino confirm their T&C's.

 

[colinsunderland]

well the fact that live chat don't know what the terms mean, and that they haven't bothered emailing me back, would mean I would stay well away from them.

 

[SpinUk]

Did mine at max bet, luckily got £180 back and paid within 6 hours. Should get the bonus tommorow

 

[lockinlove]

I would never do it because I rarely ever win on the first spin

 

[RichyJ75]

When did you open account and what deposit method did you use?

 

[SpinUk]

Joined yesterday and used an ewallet. Slightly puzzled by all the confusion here - their chat will confirm
any questions, they are UK regulated and I didnt find their terms particularly confusing? Its a goodish offer but I still could have lost the whole lot. If your not happy with that chat transcript earlier just ask yourself on there like me.

To be fair though, if their support staff say the terms aren't clear, then its safe to assume that they aren't that clear.
