Gift Rap 100 Free Spins

[dominique]

W are addressing this situation by increasing the parameters of the free spins to 100 free spins at 1 cent per line on 5 lines for the remainder of the promotion. This increases the players chances of wining by 5.

It is an offer of 100 free spins giving you the opportunity to win the maximum payout on the specified slot machine. We are giving you 100 chances to win the jackpot. There is nothing misleading about that.

Nothing wrong with that.

 

[Swede]

You know, this promotion would have been more appropriate had it been for a slot named "Scrooge's Fortune".

 

[Dewberry]

I played at Jackpot City and so far haven't received the free spins due to a "technical difficulty".

Obviously, I haven't missed much but I know I won't be playing there again.

What a disgusting 'promotion' and an insult to people who have played at these casinos for a long time.

The big difference here is that there was no need to wager through 1000 credits to receive this, it was completely free. The best way to have trialled the Gift Crap promotion was to give it to any player who ticked the box and played at least one hand or spin of anything (no 1000 crap). Feedback would have been critical, but at least BelleRock could have claimed it was a free trial and cost players nothing.

What is puzzling is that the "risk department" STILL cannot stretch to all lines. The defense of a player winning the jackpot is BS, as over the player base as a whole the payout is still likely to be 95% of the nominal value of the free spins. This 95% payout itself then being subject to 30x WR, which makes it broadly neutral in terms of what will end up being withdrawn as cash over the whole player base.

Secondly, why can other casinos offer 100 spins at 1c over all 25 or 30 lines, recklessly throwing caution to the winds and risking disaster
Whereas the execs at BelleRock get cold sweats with an offer expanded to 5 lines!
Are the finances at BelleRock in such dire straits that the slightest run of luck on this promotion risks bankruptcy. Probably not, but this is the impression gained from these efforts at extreme caution.

I have not uninstalled RiverBelle as I am unable to meet the WR on my 62p due to the coin sizes on many of the games, although I might play one of the Thunderstruck games at 1p and 1 line. Should I win the jackpot, it will be 100. If a player had won the jackpot on the Gift Rap promo, this would have been a similar amount in bonus credits, hardly going to break the bank!

 

[winbig]

Has anyone considered this?

Ooops, nevermind......I need more sleep

 

[tennis_balls]

One of the all-time most pathetic promos ever, and the BelleDonk make-good is "sorry, we'll do better next time".

My guess is the reason this promo seemed ok to BelleRock is that it probably gave the player about the same value as their typical raffle promos.

 

[GrandMaster]

The misleading thing is that there were 100 chances to win 1/100th of the jackpot.

Which you dont keep, but get to wager 30x or more.

I did not realise that there was a 30x WR on the winnings. This promo was really abuse proof.

 

[Pinababy69]

This thread got me to thinking. I received a promo email from Villento yesterday with my weekly match bonus and their other Xmas promos. They are currently running a free spin promo, their first one I believe. Their deal is deposit $20, play it through on any slot, and on Christmas Day you can claim 12 free spins on Avalon. So I have just written an extremely long winded email, asking them for clarification on the free spins "value", specifically how many lines played and at what bet. I also told them about this thread, and suggested nicely that I doubt they would want to make the same mistake that Belle Rock has, and insult an entire community of players, lol. I love this casino, and have confidence in them that they wouldn't pull such a stunt. So we already know that JPF runs the free spins promo correctly, as it was intended. Let's see what response I get from Villento. Avalon is a 20 line slot I think right? So the 12 spins should be for all 20 lines, at a bet value of at least one cent.

 

[Pocketdiggers77]

I'm finished with the River Rats

I only joined them about a month ago and since they are not going to make amends then I am done. Call it what you like, I call it very misleading and unscrupulous advertising. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

Merry FN Christmas RB.

Yep, it goes into your bonus account...


Re: Pina: Please keep us updated on their answer!

 

[Addisyn]

Here is the response from the corporate offices of the Carmen Media Group who own the Belle Rock Group. It sounds like their PR department at least has all their ducks in a row.

Dear ,

Thank you for your email.

I apologize for the misleading information provided to you by the CS agents, it seems that they were not well briefed on the promotion and unfortunately gave out information that was incorrect. The actual promotion is not misleading, we promise 100 free spins and we provide 100 free spins. Please keep in mind that this is not a cash bonus, we are simply giving you the opportunity to win. Any winnings make up bonus cash and are yours to keep once you meet the standard bonus wager requirements.

I have passed your recommendation on to the promotion team and they will take it under consideration.

The terms and conditions state that any winnings are paid into your bonus balance, and that you would need to refer to the withdrawal menu in the bank to see how this affects your play. I am sorry if the way we worded the tag line for the promotion was misleading, this was certainly not our intention.

Best regards

John

JC what is the deal with this group? They're so stuck up that they don't even consider what kind of impact this has had to their reputation? There's a handful of people here that have left this group because of this, and I'm sure there's many many more from other forums too.

Does the phrase "Can't see the forest because of the trees" come to mind for anyone else besides me?

 

[vinylweatherman]

Promotion

Since they see no problem with this, they should not have a problem if a player decides to meet WR on their next "proper" bonus by playing one of the videoslots at 1c and 1 line - preferrably during one of the "get spotted playing and win 50" events!

Posted by Belle Rock Representative - W are addressing this situation by increasing the parameters of the free spins to 100 free spins at 1 cent per line on 5 lines for the remainder of the promotion. This increases the players chances of wining by 5.

Today is the day for the free spins again am I correct on that? Is it a redo for all those who qualified in the first round? Or did we have to requalify by depositing $55 and spinning 1000 credits? If the latter is the case then Belle Rock isn't going to have many takers on the second go round since I know a lot of people simply got their noses out of joint from this promotion.

So what is it Belle Rock rep? Let us know if we have going to find 100 free spins waiting in our stockings at 1 cent for 5 lines or another piece of coal.

Happy Holidays!

I thought he said that it would be a new promotion, I don't remember him saying anything about a redo for the players who got the first promotion?

Do you think BelleRock is going to give out Christmas presents?

Yes, as I recall Belle Rock said they were concerned about someone hitting a jackpot (which would be like $50 at 1 cent a spin) and costing them some money, so I don't expect a redo.

But good luck to anyone who actually took the offer this week

 

[thetic]

Here's this weeks no strings attached offer from our friends at Belle End Casino. I think by no strings attached they actually mean that you will be able to go to the dealership and sit on it to look cool (ok, more like Jamie Oliver which is quite appropriate as he's another bell end). However by no strings what they mean is to actually get it you will have to trade in your Aston Martin DB9 and then wager your vespa 30 times (1500 times on blackjack) at rock, scissors and paper with Mystic Meg.

Suffice to say I have not been tempted to deposit my 50 credits at the casino.

Apologies CM with the mildly abusive terms I have used to refer to both the casino and Mr Oliver, if I am to be punished I will take it like a man as long as any suspensions are over in time for my 100 free spins at gift rap this week!!!

Admin note

Just a quick admin note: please don't post your account numbers, and the Bellerock rep is on Christmas break until after the 1st

 

[just play]

I'm wondering when are they going to start giving away real promotions? The people who play a lot and have a lot of auction points will surely bid more then 5000 points for a car. So this promotion isn't really a promotion for low rollers.

I'm still waiting for my Christmas gift from them.

<sarcasm>
Yes, that would just be horrible for Belle Rock. The chance is only 1 to 5M for that each spin, this promotion will definately be very costly for them. And do not forget that all the jackpot winnings players have wager 75000$ on BJ. By doing this there is no almost no limit to how much more they can potentially win.

I know I am beating a dead horse at this point but if the second group of players get special treatment. Well that is simply wrong.

Oh I can't help myself this thread has become such a great source of humor for me. I just read and laugh out loud!

Thanks for the fun everyone and Belle Rock you have given me the gift of humor for the holidays. LMFAO... (is that alright to put in this forum hope so!)

 

[thetic]

After all is said and done I have now logged in 3 times today to see if my free spins have been credited!

I have never looked forward to a promotion so much as this one!

Looking forward to more screenshots in a few times, can anyone beat $0.07 (difficult I know if they are going to have 5 lines running this week)

Watch this space....

- Gift Trap-

Because I was such a good boy this year, Santa granted me the 100 spins with 5 lines!

I just finished my 100 spins and won $4.30.

When I was wagering the required $1000 for this promo, I was thinking the spins would be at least the minimum found in the regular version, 25 lines at 1cent...what a surprise to see a modified stingy version of Gift Rap!

Oh well, I shouldn't be complaining. At least I received 5 lines, unlike those bad little boys who got 1 line!


Hey Pinababy69 if you're reading this -
In regards to Villento's offer, its not 20 lines as stated in your last post.
I copied this from their newsletter:

WHAT: 12 Spins on Avalon - on Us on 25th December. A MINIMUM of 12Spins, with one $0.20 coin on 8 Paylines per Spin on Avalon Slots will be awarded to players who qualify.

HOW: Deposit and wager 20 credits

I'm actually looking forward to this offer and hoping to get nice results.
0.20 coin on 8 lines = $1.60 per spin.

Wager $20 to receive 12 x $1.60 spins...Sounds good to me.
Much better than the Gift Trap offer of wager $1000 to get 100 x $0.05 spins!

Anyhow, Good Luck to you all!

I got the offer of 5000 auction points. Sadly, there is no "vespa" up for grabs in the auction anyway!!!!

It seems there is no problem spending the points on the other crap on offer in the auction, and the promo says nothing about WAGERING the $50
