Hit $8395.00 jackpot go figure bonus has 50.00 cashout limit

Slots Plus is RTG, so the majority of slots are progressive.

I wouldn't get too excited yet about your $1000 win, usually when a free chip has a max cashout, you can't cash out more than that even if you play on after wagering has been met.

Don't spend it all back however based on what I wrote here.... different casinos have different policies, so perhaps there is hope, especially since the excess after wagering was met was removed. I just wanted to let you know so you don't get carried away gambling or spending elsewhere thinking you have $1,000.00 coming in.

Actually, I've had a few of these free chips with a 50 dollar max withdrawal at RTG casinos and some of them just dump all your balance except the 50 when you clear the WR and let you play on without restrictions.

I always contact support the very second this happens and verify that this is a playable balance and that the 50 dollar max has been removed.

I'd love to say what casinos these were but it was so long ago I'd only be guessing.

That is exactly what happened they dropped all my funds except the 50.00 and it was supposed to be playable unrestricted so it should be all good I hope. If so they have a new loyal customer if not I will spend my money somewhere else
 
they took the jackpot win and all that I had won leaving me with the 50.00 in my account it is with the 50.00 that I hit the feature play that paid 1000.00 so they should honor that per their terms? and it was a random jackpot not progressive

If they're reputable, they'll give you the $1,000. Disreputable places continue to hold you to terms until you actually cashout. Inetbet for example, doesn't let you earn any more comp points after a redemption until you zero out your account balance (via withdrawal or loss) and redeposit.

Well, that depends on the casino and they're own policy about free chips.

The best thing to do would have been to contact them before you continued to play.

There's always the option of just asking them rather than wait to see if the withdrawal goes through.

Has it been stated yet what casino this is?
 
Slots Plus (Main Street group). I don't play with them, so I'm not familiar with their policies.

If this is a free chip to a non-depositing player (SUB), I have my doubts they will pay more than $50.

Of course I hope for the player's sake they do, but I just wanted him to be prepared in case they don't.

At least it's not out of the question that he'll get paid.

I think he's better off to just contact them rather than wait and be disappointed.

Still, if the 50 is the max withdrawal, there's always the option to withdraw it and then dump it back in. Maybe he'll get lucky again. It's still free money.
 
Main street group are known as reputable except for their predatory bonus terms..... technically i should be allwed the 1000.00 but as I am a new player there I will probably get the shaft and am expecting nothing less than that and if better happens I will feel fortunate. I am awaiting live help to come online at the moment as soon as I get a response from them I will post the results here for everyone

I guess it depends on how you define "getting the shaft."

It's a question of this casino's terms and policies. If you had verified these terms before you started playing would you still consider yourself to be "getting the shaft?"

What is a "predatory" term?

IMO it is a term that is NOT listed anywhere and is invoked after you win. If a term IS listed, then you have the opportunity to decide if you want to be bound by it BEFORE you play....afterwards is too late.

It seems some players call a term "predatory" just because they don't like it, and usually because they didn't read the terms in the first place and got caught. Its the players decision whether they want to become "prey".

I was refering to what this site had listed as the reason that mainstreet casino group did not succeed in becoming accredited here personally I have no clue what that exactly means was simply stating what I had read about them as far as their reputation

I did read the T&C first but it is not clear as to wether when they remove the bonus if you must phisically withdraw the balance or if it is playable without further terms. here is their T&C on flee play coupon use:



FREE TRIAL TERMS

Can only be redeemed if coming from a partner site and requires coupon for redeeming.

Slots Keno and Scratch tickets ONLY.

Any other games played are not permitted while these bonus funds are in play.

The bonus must be wagered 70 times in valid wagers before withdrawal.

The maximum bonus withdrawal is $50. The bonus is non cashable and the amount of the bonus will be deducted from the withdrawal.

This bonus can only be used once per person at one casino in the group.

Claiming more than once will void any winnings.

Free Trial available to US and Canadian players ONLY.

Have a question you need answered? Contact us and we'll reply within 24 hours.


as you can see the terms are pretty vague in the area of defining what will happen in my situation but their main Terms say they can basically do what they want including wiping all my winnings as they retain that right for any win on a play where bonus was used

The reason they're not accredited doesn't really apply to you since it's an issue with wage requirements outside the USA and Canada. In fact it doesn't really apply to anyone unless they take a bonus.
 
All in all even if they take my second big win and leave me with the 50.00 I cant complain as it was a free play coupon anyways. although it sucks to finally hit a jackpot and not get it I can only blame myself as I started to blow off the freeplay offer and just make a deposit and try my luck and that was my choice and cant blame them for that. I think either way I will be playing here more often in the future but without the use of any bonus lol

Well, this part doesn't really make much sense to me "The maximum bonus withdrawal is $50. The bonus is non cashable and the amount of the bonus will be deducted from the withdrawal." If you were given a 50 dollar bonus and the maximum you can withdraw is 50 and the amount of the bonus will be removed from the withdrawal that equals zero.

I'm sure this is just poorly worded or I'm not understanding something.

The only question is if you have to withdraw the 50 once you clear the WR or if you can continue playing with it. These rules seem to change from casino to casino but either way you're not "shafted." You're playing with free money. Even if all you can withdraw is 50 it's still free money.

Any time someone hands me 50 dollars for nothing I try to refrain from accusing them of shafting me.

The last time I had an RTG free chip I was up to about 200 bucks with about 500 left to wager and I hit a nice 600 dollar bonus feature in Crystal Waters. When you have an 800 dollar balance and 500 left to wager with a 50 dollar max cash out it kind of takes the excitement out of it.

The first thing I did was contact support and ask what the maximum allowed bet is. I wanted to just click off the remaining WR without disqualifying myself by betting too high.

At the same time I asked if I had to withdraw the 50 or if I could keep playing. I was told once the WR had been met I could do whatever I wanted with the 50. Withdraw it or keep playing with it. I took a screen shot of the conversation for my own peace of mind and cashed out about somewhere between 2 or 3 hundred in the end.

I was actually up more than that from the 50 after the WR was cleared but I was on a crap losing streak so I bailed with the few hundred I had left.

This was a long time ago and I can't say for certain what casino it was. Desert Nights sounds familiar but I'm not 100% sure.

I have had the same experience in the past and I am hoping that is the case here and I do believe that it is but with the wording of their main terms saying its their choice to do whaAt they want basically it makes me wonder....although I have not heard any bad things about this group so it may work out on the good side?

Sorry I did not mean it to come across like that I was more less referring to my luck and how I rarely use a bonus and of course when I do I hit a jackpot and it is nullified.. I do realize either way I won at least a free $50 bill and I wont gripe about that I just had a moment of frustration as I am sure many others would have in this situation.

I guess the moral of the story is to find out if what you're doing is ok before you start doing it.
 
Which begs the question what happens to the $8k that they haven't now paid out? All the other players contributed to it.

As far as I know this is supposed to remain in the RJ. I thought this was discussed many, many moons ago.
 
OP, I would cashout the $50 and while its pendiing. They will allow you to also make a deposit. So I would deposit $50 of my own money. Take their match bonus, and continue playing. You maybe on a hot streak there today. Chances maybe you will have some fantastic wins. If you lose, you still broke even -minus fees. BUT I WOULD MAKE A DEPOSIT TODAY!!!!
 
I am sure you are all aware of this situation but just in case this is a warning how this payout works, at least in RTG casinos

Once I got a $50 non deposit bonus and max payout was for$250.

Within a few minutes I had made some hits and after a while I figured I would star playing $2./spin
Well lucky me.
I just happened to look and my bal was at 245 something like that.
I imagine that as soon as WR are met the scoreboard goes to the max payout so if yu continue playing you could lose it all!

Yes, if you're anywhere near clearing the WR it's not a good idea to leave it spinning in autoplay.
 
Had this happen recently on a freechip I received for my birthday. Max cashout was $50, thought I was counting and boom, I have $49, lol. In this case I did check with support to see if I could play on now that the excess was removed, but max cashout would still remain $50. So I cashed out 49, no point in taking any risk for merely $1.
 
In Most places that i have played at , you must cash out, then redeposit to remove the max cashout..

In all honesty it is reall dumb as the casino has to absorb those processing costs for US players. WOuld be nice that once you cleared WR that it would just reset as the money being yours. .
 
If it was a pooled progressive jackpot, then they should pay you the winnings as they will be receiving the money from the software provider. If they choose not to pay you, then the money should rightfully go back into the pot.

We had this exact same thing happen with us this week. A lady won a $6k progressive (using winnings from a free chip) and we paid immediately. We will receive the funds from Rival, so it does not cost us anything and we gained a loyal customer. Hope they treat you the same :p

On RTG They are randoms, most honest ones put the money back to the random jackpot, They are not all linked between casinos, each casino has its own random that was built up from people playing that game.

Great example to set for all Casino's!
 
Have not received a reply back from them as of yet but checked my account and it now shows a coupon reversal withdrawal request for $9448.46 requested and approved and now my balance is a few hundred more than what it was when i last looked this morning? but judging by the activity on my cashier screen it looks as though all is good at this point. I will do a withdrawl request after bit when i get a few minutes free time and make a deposit and see what happens from there. Want to say thanks to everyone for letting me vent my frustration and for all your advice there is a world of knowledge here I am glad I found this site
 
I think a coupon reversal and approved, means management okayed the removal of the balance from the ND bonuses. Looks like they will only pay you $50.
 
Interested in how this played out?

Was he only allowed to withdraw $50? Of course most US can't withdraw amounts that low... there's usually minimum withdrawal limits, plus fees for chosen method of withdrawal.

Or was he allowed to cashout what he won after they cleared his playthrough 'overage' ?
 
Sorry work has had me extremely busy

First I apologize for the late reply I have been stuck working doubles at work and had no free time :mad:

Well of course I got the usual excuses that you would expect from a casino that don't want to pay a big win on a free roll. I checked with a few other casinos that are highly reputable who have the same exact terms on their free play and they said when I hit play through the casino would automatically remove the bonus amount and all winnings only leaving what the max withdrawal amt. stated in terms was. Once this had happened I was then free to play any games and no withdraw limit. But they used the loose verbage in their terms to bend things their way and they even took the $1800.00 I won on the $50.00 they gave me after I met play through In-fact they even took the $50.00 back when they took the second winnings and re-issued me $30.00 stating that was the max I should have been allowed the first time. Also all the cashier history had been deleted prior to them making changes that showed the withdrawal and re-deposit and they auto issued it as a withdrawal only as they did not want me playing it and It is still in pending mode with no reply back from them since. All in All its what I expected to happen as they are not a InetBet or Club world group casino but I still got $30.00 for free ( If it ever gets approved) so It is what it is and other than slow paying from what I have heard of them they are actually not a bad group (mainstreet) if I ever play there again I will not use a coupon period then I have no worry's!
 
So Mainstreet actually makes you withdraw the money and doesn't let you keep playing it?

Good to know.

correct and i just found out they leave withdrawal request in pending status for a period of 10-14 days before they even review them and if something is wrong and you get denied that time starts over after re-submitting once you make it out of pending it can be up to another 10 days before they process the withdrawal....who wants to wait almost a month at best to get paid? I will stick with Inetbet I had my check in less than a week even though I cost them a day by not sending Docs in right away and check was for a local bank and I had no hassles cashing it. The fact that the time and date stamp on the fed ex label shows it arrived at there facility 4 hours after I sent them my docs is impressive in my opinion.

heres is a copy of Mainstreet's NEW Cashout info ( They recently changed payout policy )

Withdrawal Methods: ACH, Cheque, Money Order, Neteller, Skrill

Withdrawal Limits: 5000 USD per week

Withdrawal Timeframes: Up to 10-12 days

Pending Time: up to 14 days

Allow Manual Flushing: no

If you have your docs already submitted, what's the mandatory 14 day wait for? Does each withdrawal have to go through their loophole team to see if they can get out of it?

That seems to be the case although as far as I have found looking around other sites its more of a extreme delay tactic also people are getting cash outs in installments that are way less than there stated max weekly cash out. looks to me as if they just drag there feet and avoid pay outs until someone complains on an open forum then they try fixing the issues.
 
So, how in the world are you, a USA player, going to cash out $30?

And Main Street group's long waiting time is infamous here.

LOL I am not going to the headache to get it is no where near worth it and like you said they wont make a payout that small so they got exactly what they want and by the way they never reinstated the jackpot for the players who contributed to it so they made out with an extra $9,000 dollars in their pockets.
 
The entire situation complete B. S. IMO.

If the casino pocketed the Random Jackpot that is in itself criminal. The entire situation complete B. S. IMO. Playing on a free chip at any RTG carries the risk of hitting the RJ--a once in a lifetime if ever occurrence for most players--and not getting paid for your hit.

INET and Club World generally allow 10X any free bonus as a maximum withdrawal and the WR is generally only 10-15X. In these cases, playing the free money bonus is worth the "risk" of hitting a big one and the pain of never getting the money if you do.

I had an experience at Grande Vegas about 6 weeks ago that I am going to share in a separate thread. Follow this link:

I agree they have at the very least stolen from their customers who have contributed to the jackpot and now have no chance of winning it and its not because they paid it out to me or anyone else they just chose to sweep it under the rug and figure no one is the wiser. It has been several weeks since I hit that RJ and they still have not replaced it in the game as of tonight when I looked below are pics of a few minutes after I hit the RJ and pic. of the jackpot as it stood tonight. And the last pic is what account activity they did not delete from that night none of the posted activity was from me accept the withdrawl request for $800.00 M.O. which they rejected then put it back with what I still had in usable play funds then withdrew that whole lump sum for them selves and posted a 30.00 withdrawl request on my behalf then they denied that....on the bright side I have one red cent left......wonder if I can take that up to a few thousand like I did the 20.00 the night this happened lol

win.webpproof.webpacct.webp


If anyone wonders why I bothered posting pics of the event it is because I feel the money should be put back in the game for those who contributed to it have a chance winning it as it is the right thing to do and what they should do. ;)
 
Main Street? Didnt they try to become accredited only to flat out fail? From memory something about dodgy bonus practices and discrimination. I'd be interested to hear what the rep has to say about what happened to the funds from this jackpot.

You hit that RJ a month ago. How often have you checked it since then? Is it possible someone else hit it after you did?

They're not accredited but they're not rogue. Presumably if you don't care about bonus wage requirements there's no serious issue.

Silver Oak however, is rogue. I see the shortcut on his desktop for quick access. :p
