That's class! good effort on Inter's part. Hope it works out.
See - I really don't agree. This is purely my opinion, but this picking and choosing about who get's the bonus, and who's a bonus abuser and who isn't etc is entirely out of order.
I'm not specifically getting at Intercasino at all, they're just the latest in a long line of casino's to take this stance -- more this whole issue in general and the general opinion/actions of casinos.
This is how I see it... Either offer a bonus, with terms and conditions, or don't. Don't decide based on play who gets it and who doesn't... Just do your homework in advance and if, overall, the bonus benefits the casino from a promotional perspective - keep it. If it doesn't, overall, don't offer it to anyone - or offer it by invitation only to specific, valued players.
It seriously pisses me off that casino's emblazen offers all over their websites and in promotional material, then pick and choose which players are allowed to take advantage at their discretion. It's like they expect to win all ends up, it's poor long term business practice and it's wrong.
If someone meets all the 'terms and conditions' of the bonus offer, regardless of if this is by 1p or a million quid - they've met the conditions. Don't go through them branding people bonus abusers if they don't go onto tilt and pour it all back in again.
I should point out, I've NEVER been refused a bonus at any casino - and always burst well through any requirements before cashing out... That's just how I play. Someone who's a little more controlled and decides to play a little more cautiously (whilst fulfilling all requirements) should never be penalised.
Intercasino and Totalbet, despite their excellent reputation and many plus points in other areas, are un-installed and off my list of places to play permanently. I just think it's wrong to patronise a casino that clearly thinks it's ok to only allow people to take advantage of a well publicised, supposed "for all" bonus - if they meet their required "style of play". Nonsense.
