Gift Rap 100 Free Spins

[just play]

It's kinda funny you dont see the Bellerock rep defending here, I guess the embarrasment is too much.

I made a post the other day about the Gaming Club and the Bellerock rep never said a word.

You're right, they are probably pretty embarrased. Well, Just to let them know how I feel... I've uninstalled all BellRock casinos. If their promotions are going to be worth $1... they apparently don't need any of my money!! They should be able to afford that buck on their own!

my net of $2.43 must have broken the bank on this 1

jon593...if you won that much money on the promotion, I was wondering if I could borrow some of it... I need to make a down payment on a gumball.1

Jeepers . I really thought the first page of this thread was a gag ..Til it dawned on me it wasn't a joke. I need to go find my Bart Simpson wiggling his ass for this one . Shame on you Belle Rock Group !

Awesome

you know, I was about to say "where did this 1000 wagering requirement come from?", but then I realized that I had ground though the WR too, (autoplay $1 hands of blackjack), I had just managed to squeak a small win about it.

But geeze, the expected loss from $1000 wagering of even a low edge game like BJ is around $3.5. The EV of those 100 spins at Gift Rap is about 95 cents of bonus balance, which only equates to 47 cents of real cashable balance if it's exploited well.

I think this might be the most minusest of minus EV bonuses evar.

Bryan needs a new award for '06: WORST PROMOTION OF THE YEAR AWARD. This one would win hands down.

 

[Addisyn]

Some of you were huge winners! $2.43 dang that is almost 250x your bet. I only won 7 freaking cents. What can I buy with seven cents? All it does is make an odd amount in my casino balance.

Well nevermind about that since I am no longer playing any of the Belle Rock group casinos. Jokes on them.

 

[Addisyn]

winbig you are so right about needing a special award for this promotion. Your avatar could be the trophy. Sort of how they feel about their players if they are going to have a bonus of this sort.

It could be called the Screws2U Promotion 2006.

I award yameater the best line of this thread. You have won 1000 spins at any Belle Rock caino slot of your choice. You must figure out how to bet 1/2 cent per line on one line!

Curious: Are there any WR attached to the "winnings" you recieve from the spins????

 

[Addisyn]

Any winnings which a Designated Winner wins by using the Prize, will be paid into the Designated Winners Bonus Balance* at his or her Casino account.

If it goes into your bonus balance doesn't that mean there is some WR? This gets more and more pathetic. I have to wager my 7 cents 20x?

Nah, you probably have to wager any balance in your real account + the winnings 20x

I just emailed riverbelle to let them know it is Christmas and not April fools. I'm sure they dont care but at least I let them know their promo is a joke IMO and I wont be trying to get the whopping $1 bonus this week.
I would like to think this was just and goof on someones part but i'm begining to think they did this on prupose. Merry F'n Christmas from your pals at River Belle.

Hmmm... then i could get 2 gumballs?

30 x "Win"

Logged back in this morning and looked at withdrawal section which lets me know that 1.07 has a 32.10 wager requirement attached to it!!!

So much for any winnings are yours to keep!

I am lodging a formal complaint with River Belle and hope everyone else does the same. River Belle must be run by a fellow Scot as they're tighter than a camel's arse (ass/butt for my US friends) in a storm...

 

[thetic]

THIS GETS MORE AND MORE RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!

Reversed £32 of my winnings so I could play 33 hands of BJ to clear my WR.

After 33 hands went back in to withdraw and only £3.30 of my balance is cleared, the BJ only counting 10% towards your WR still applies for this bonus!!!

I am boycotting River Belle and it will be removed from my machine after next weeks 100 spins (by which time I will probably have to turn over my £0.04 winnings 648.5 times exactly while unicycling the wrong way around the M25 while balancing a pint of lager on my head and doing the times crossword)

Away off to Paigow now cos at least that counts a reasonable % towards WR (67% I think)

EDIT: After some serious Do or Die wagering on Paigow, managed to turn my £33.07 (£32 + £1.07 winnings) into the princely sum of £51.27 (GET IT RIGHT UP YOU RIVER BELLE) which I have now withdrawn so now have won £19.27 from my 100 free spins or a 1.9% bonus on my £1000 wagering. Now if I can repeat the feat next week, there may still be time and enough cash to get some deluxe crackers on the table by December 25th.

I have emailed them in the past and they ALWAYS bypass my questions, like they have no idea what I'm talking about. Then they continue talking about something that has nothing to do with what I emailed them about in the first place.

I did however email them the other day and said if they were giving away Christmas free money that I would take some.

The Rep still hasn't shown up

Hey, guys, the "winnings" go into the bonus account, which work just like any microgaming clearpay bonus. Bonus hustlers will be well familiar with it.

30x bonus requires on slots or american roulette to clear it.
60x on french roulette and some other high-edge games
And about a billion X wagering on blackjack.

The only thing that's even close to positive expectation is even-money bets on French roulette. But this is nearly break-even.

So the real use of it is to be "aggressive" (hope you have at least a buck!), and try to run that balance bonus up higher. Because any winnings on top of it are fully cashable.

Of course, you're going to be confronted with the minimum withdrawal of $50, but you can always deposit more money, then withdraw it all.

Hi All,

I was hoping to post an informed response but I have unfortunately not been able to get all the details together as yet. I will post more as soon as I can.

*waits as BR scurrys around trying to figure out a response as to why they gave out the shittiest bonus of the decade*

This should be interesting


Seriously though, NOTHING can justify a $1 bonus that you have to wager $1000 credits to recieve. It's a total waste of time.

 

[Swede]

At first I thought this was a laughing matter but the more I think about it, the more I consider it borderline insulting.

I mean, you wouldn't dare to give anyone you know a $1 present, it just isn't done. Heck, I'd feel kinda cheap giving that amount to any street corner bum or homeless guy(if I do give, it's usually the equivalence of $3 or more FWIW).

Imagine being invited to an all you can eat and drink - lobster and wine party and "repaying" the favor with a soggy ice cream cone...

I don't care about the excuse they come up with (the CS supervisor already said the 1-cent/1-line thing was how they intended it).

But hopefully someone there has a brain and gives us a do-over with a reasonable number of coins & lines (i.e. 50 cents per spin).

My favorite Free Play (or free spins) is Ruby Fortune Casino and Mummys gold casino' 1 hour free play with $500.

I catch $200 winning in ruby fortune and $60 in mummys gold.

The max bet is $5 per spin in the video slot game.

My method in free play: Gamber with the winning, and you will have to chance to double your winning in short time.

Here is what they emailed back

At least they read my email. But 1cent 5 lines? Whoa a $5 bonus. Whoopee!

Hi there PD,

Thank you for emailing Belle Rock Entertainment.


We always strive to come up with new, innovative promotions in order to improve the online gaming experience for our players. Our new 100 Free Spins promotion is our first "guaranteed" promotion where unlike "lucky draws" where only one person can win at the end, every player who opts in will receive the promotional benefit. When we launched this promotion for the very first time on December 4, we could not foresee the overwhelming response.

Listening to you, our loyal players, we quickly realized that the Free Spin promotion has caused some dissatisfaction and that there is a need to optimize the offer.



We would like to thank you for your valuable feedback and inform you that starting on Monday, 18 December 2006, the Free Spins promotion will be changed from 1 coin/cent for 1 line to 1 coin/cent for 5 lines. This will increase your chance of winning by five!

We trust we have been of service to you.

Should you require any further assistance, feel free to contact us, as we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for your convenience.

Kind regards,

Andrew
Entertainment Executive
