I like scratching...

Nice one KK!

Ive never played at Ladbrokes - is it easy to qualify for these scratch cards? Seems like a pretty good promo....better than most of the crap around at the moment anyway
Yep - it's dead easy!
All you have to do for this one is deposit & play 50 chips on the designated slot and the next day they send you a scratchcard.
The first day I won 14 on the slot & got a 10 card, yesterday I wagered 60 & lost 27, but then got the 100 card.
The best thing about it is the WR is only bonus x4!

This is definitely one of the best promo's on the net! :thumbsup:

I'm just about to play today's 50 - if I can actually connect to the casino that is... :(

Hope it's good - I need something to cheer me up after watching England's school-boy performance... :mad:
 
Congratulations on the excellent scratchcard KK!

I hadn't noticed Laddies were still offering this sort of promotion. How much needs to be deposited each day? Is it the 50? Or just any value deposit at all?

Thanks! :thumbsup:

As per my previous post, you need to deposit & play 50 chips on Santa Paws each day.
But you can 'deposit' just by moving your funds into & out of the sportsbook every time you play. If you don't do this (or don't deposit new funds) you wont get a card.

Good luck! :cool:
(I got another 10 today).
 
BTW, who do you guys think will be the next manager for England?
Well my Grandmother could do a better job than McClaren - and she's been dead 15-years! :rolleyes:

Personally I would love to see Alan Shearer given the roll, as he is surely God in disguise walking this mortal coil...
But he wont because he has no experience.

I like what was suggested on the radio this-morning; The FA should save time & just send Martin O'Neill a cheque for 2,000,000 saying we were going to offer you the job, but you'd fail anyway, so here's your pay-off. ;)

I really would like to see 'the special one' given a chance...
or (very controversially) Graham Taylor given a second innings.

:lolup::lolup::lolup::lolup::lolup::lolup:

It'd have to be Jose Mourhinho... Totally understand his refusal though... Why would a talented, enigmatic, successful man like Mourhinho lower himself to work with that bunch of overpaid, underworked, ego-maniac under achieving losers...

Wednesday was an absolute disgrace. There was only Beckham that even half looked like he wanted it... Doesn't matter who they give the manager's job to; until the players start actually wanting to win for their country -- we're doomed!!!
 
Back on topic... this is unbelievable!

Merry Christmas!!!


Hadn't hit the feature for 2-days, so today it just HAD to happen... and re-trigger!

Old Attachment (Invalid)


Then I hit a nice 5-of-a-kind J's...

Old Attachment (Invalid)


then 5 A's (remembering that Rudolf the Red-Nosed Sperm-Whale is wild)...

Old Attachment (Invalid)


and finished up with this from an 80p spin...

Old Attachment (Invalid)


But that's not all!
The VERY NEXT spin (see spin counter at the bottom)

Old Attachment (Invalid)

But I had used up all my luck, and these spins only returned a rather pathetic 21.12.

However, my day was not complete as I had not yet checked yesterday's scratchcard... another 100! :D

So, played for 5 days, made 60 from the slot & 220 from the cards.
The real bummer is I'm going on holiday tomorrow, so can't play any more this month :(

Unless... Slotster, if I give you my log-in details could you play my spins for me...? :cool:

I think Gordon Brown should do it. He would do less damage as football manager than as prime minister.
 
lol thanks kk... My first ever card...

deposited, played and the card never came. After emailing support they told me I had no played so i emailed them a ton of playcheck data they apoligized for the technical error and my card arrived. And would you believe...

LOOOOOOOOL
 
Of course! I'll have that 300 profit down to zero before you can say 45 a spin :D
How about NO - you crazy Dutch High-roller!

Fortunately I discovered that someone who lives about 100 yards from my outlaws place has an unsecured wireless network which is just in range of my laptop! :thumbsup:

So I'm carrying on with the spinning myself.
Could not believe yesterday when I checked my e-mails though - another 100 card! :what:

So far I've had 10 x 2 & 100 x 3 - not bad for a few minutes spinning each day! :D
 
Really struggling with this one. Played for three days and got 2 x 0 and 1 x 10 as my scratchcards. That coupled with no free spins and 44% payout makes it annoying.

Looks like KK got all the good ones:D

I have been tempted to try this for the last few days left. I found that MG casinos now seem to install very fast (on my nice new gambling PC), so the theory about them nicking files from their cousins on the hard drive must be correct, there is just no way I could download 1 Gig that fast!!

I will have to see what I get for my scratchcards, even though the slot has been VERY tight, as befits an Avalon clone:mad:
Without a supply of bonus rounds, the payouts are very low indeed, and I have already played back 100 of my winnings from when I had them on the Windows 98 PC.
 
Looks like they have messed up again. I played a ton and havent gotten my scratch card yet but I think they will come good and I will get it soon. Meanwhile, can anyone who has played tell me what the meaning of the loser button is? It says get another scratch card if you are unlucky. If you have to deposit and play all over again to get another card what's the purpose of all this?

Yes, you have to re-deposit and play over.
 
Around what time do you regulars receive your scrachcards every day?
It varies, but is always on the hour:-

Nov 24; 10am
Nov 26; 3pm
Nov 27; 2pm (Today)

There is an option to make yourself contactable in the lobby. I used this since I haven't played for a while, and the cards are coming OK. Perhaps they drop players from the mailing lists after a period of inaction, and in this case the scratchcards wont come.

That horrible slot has already eaten 100, and I am low rolling like KK, and did get a (crap) bonus round with a retrigger.

Don't think this is the problem as I got the cards a couple of days ago, just not yesterday. I'm sure I wagered enough though (I'm quite meticulous in my records). Sent an email. Don't really expect to get one now though as, in my experience, Laddies are SO slow at replying. Wonder if I'll get one today for yesterday's wagering now........

Did you send your e-mail to [email protected]. I havent received replies from them recently so I tried [email protected]. They duly repklied after a couple of hours. You can try that.
 
I decided, after all the hype, to give ladbrokes a try.

The welcome offer was 100% up to GBP100, so I deposited and lost the lot (didnt even get to wager it 4 times). So, I submitted the form to claim it via the website, and now over 24 hours later Im still waiting for the bonus. In fact, Im still waiting for any acknowledgement at all that the claim was received. It doesnt state that if you bust out you dont get the bonus (wouldnt make much sense if that was the case), so I dont know what the hold-up is. The website says within 48 hours so I will give it another day, but I just dont see why it takes that long to credit a bonus :mad:

I did contact [email protected] , and my email was read about 15 mins after I sent it - and 6 hours later still had no reply. I then re-sent it to the same addy asking what the delay was all about, and had a reply within 15 mins. The only thing I can deduce from this is that they only answer emails when they feel like it, as they were both read within 15 mins but only one was answered immediately. The

My first impression is not good at all. Customer service is number one priority for me and this outfit doesnt make the grade IMO.
 
Nifty,

I am really scratching my head. Several months ago, I tried them out and e-mails were always answered within an hour. They were patient in trying to help solve reg problems. I deposited, won a bit and withdrew with no problems. Several weeks later, they told me that I hadnt claimed my bonus and once I did they would credit my account. Without a further deposit, they did credit my account which needed a 4x wagering to cashout.

Recently, the support has been poor and I didnt have any replies from [email protected] after several e-mails. Then I wrote to the promotions team and presto, everything was solved. This is strange since the support staff should be answering all mails directed to the care@ e-mail box which is their main inbox but this did not happen. I just hope they are experiencing some changes which led to this otherwise it will be a disappointment as I did feel that this casino was excellent in the customer support department.

Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks for that. I mailed the promo address and it was read two minutes later. It'll be interesting to see when I get a response. I got no response from the 'care' address.

EDIT : today's card was for 5. And still no feature after 412 spins. Does this slot even have a feature? KK seems to be taking them all!

That's todays wagering done and I've now managed 500 spins without a feature and a payout rate of 58%. Also, my cards have been :

0 x 2
5 x 2
10 x 1

I would have been much better off leaving this promotion alone.....

EDIT : also meant to say, that 48 hours since my first email was read at Laddies and still no response. I would expect more from an accredited casino. Perhaps they need to sort out their CS department.
 
Yes I did receive a reply, and here it is:

Thank you for your e-mail.

To be eligible for the free stake offer, your initial chip purchase
must be between 5 and 100 and you must have wagered (staked) at least
4 times the initial chip purchase amount. Your initial chip purchase was
50 so you wold need to wager 200 at this time yo have only wagered
106.25.

If we can be of any further assistance, please contact us again and we
will be more than happy to help you.


So, it seems if you bust out BEFORE you make the wagering then you DONT get the bonus - this is the most stupid thing Ive heard for quite a while. I would have thought that it would be to the casino's advantage to apply the bonus to an empty account, rather than one that had funds in it already to help meet the wagering to cashout.

What a bunch of cr*p. I know its only $50, but it is the principle of it and it just doesnt make sense.

Am I being unreasonable here? (im a bit annoyed so its possible I suppose)

PS chek the speelling - its reely furst clarse

There is no rule that says that cannot get the bonus if you bust out before meeting the WR. You can deposit more and continue playing.
 
For those who have played, is there anything that states wagering has to be completed within one day. As I am playing in a pseudo currency (USD but at a conversion rate of HKD10=USD1) instead of the normal 7.8) no playcheck facility was available and I was told that I played a total of $67 in 2 days. I was also told that as I played on 2 separate days I was not eligible for the scratchcard.
 
I'm sorry so many are not having a good time with this promo - I feel almost guilty for starting the thread now. :(

That really does suck.
I'm on holiday at the moment & don't have all my stats to hand, but in this week I have played 6-days, 644 spins & hit the feature just twice (both crap).
I have lost 103 playing the slot, but had 180 in scratchcard winnings.

But that is the nature of these promos; when they did the Doctor+Doctor one I got totally murdered on the slot, got crap cards & lost a fortune.

Last month on the Osbournes the start was awful & I had deposited & lost nearly 200 before my luck turned on the slot & the cards & I finished the month 1000 up!

I have had similar problem with their CS at times - sometimes they are really quick & others they take forever.

Frankly, yes I do think you are being unreasonable.
Ladbrokes SUB is the best one I know of on the entire internet; Where else can you get 100% to 100 with a WR of only Bx8 and with nearly all games allowed at 100%?
If I could get one of those every day I'd never have to work again!

I am sorry you feel that way & got off to an unlucky start. :(

Actually it's not terribly clear, but I know the rules they apply are that each day's play is from midnight to midnight UK time. So wherever you are on the globe you need to take that into account.

Last day today - hope everyone gets a nice card tomorrow! :thumbsup:
 
KK,

You started the thread out of goodwill. However, I am surprised at their lousy customer service. I am also certain that I was unable to check my wagering on Playcheck then but its OK now. Well, I think I lost about $30 only playing the games low-rolling but when i made a last ditch effort just now I got retriggers at only my 25th spin and sort of broke even. I aint aiming for a scratchcard now as I am afraid you had all the luck and I will get $0.

Hope all goes well for Nifty though.
 
KK,

You started the thread out of goodwill. However, I am surprised at their lousy customer service.

My thoughts exactly. KK, you have no reason to feel guilty or anything like that. I still haven't received an email from CS in three days now. Just sent another, and got a 'message read' notification about two minutes later.

Laddies, what on earth is going on?!?! :what:

PS, did anyone else get their card today, because I didn't again...... :confused:
 
Thanks for the input KK - I do value your opinion and I agree that the wagering requirement is excellent in comparison to most SUB. I guess the part that bothers me is that the reason (I assume) that 4xD is required before the bonus is to make players risk their own funds first to show they arent just abusing the promo - which I did and lost all of it. If that doesnt show that Im happy to risk my own funds then...... . BTW - please dont feel bad about starting the thread as it was to help other members and was 100% honest and positive - never apologise for that :)

Ive decided Im going to deposit again to claim the SUB - as annoying as it is, its still a good deal I guess and it comes recommended by people I trust at CM.

I still dont think the CS is up to standard and they are a little abrasive, but a second chance I will give them.

I apologise for being a bit over the top peeps :o
 
Update:

I decided to deposit again to make up the rest of the wagering and claim the SUB, but when I go to deposit I get:

:mad:

I have emailed CS and the promo team, but after 48 hours I have received ZERO response (except the auto-responder)

I'm reeeeally trying to be patient but you have to admit it isnt very good service.

Well if I cant deposit anymore, they had better return my original one.
 
That's me done with this lot.

I wasn't sent two scratchcards that I am sure I was due.

6 days + 3 read emails + no response = a lost customer

If Laddies ever want me to play there again, they'll have to come to me!

What are the expectations on customer service from an accredited casino? Are Ladbrokes actually meeting the standard here? Does anyone get replies from their CS just now?

Well, in a word, NO. Not communicating effectively with the customer is bad service, and is what the customer uses to judge the performance of the rest of the operation.
I have received all due scratchcards, and I believe the other E-mails I am getting are automatically generated (I have been credited the last scratchcard and informed there are more to come throughout December (mitts off KK:p) in the "Christmas Cracker" promotion, where I have the choice of three games on which to lose heavily meeting the daily 50 deposit & wager.
It seems that where MANUAL replies are needed to solve problems, they are trying to imitate BelleRock CS, rather than uphold the reputation of the Ladbrokes brand.
If any UK players are having trouble, there is a free phone number - not much use for Aussies though:D

For this one:-

We are unable to accept bets from you at this time. Please contact our Customer Service department at [email protected] or on 0800 9 17 27 37
for further details.

Worth looking at the terms to see if Australia has become excluded since the first deposit. This has happened at a few other casinos recently, and may have been implemented on 1st December along with the change to the promotions; although in this case CS should have stated this, rather than have you contact an unresponsive CS desk.
The new UK rules might be having the effect that casinos are reviewing which countries they accept bets from, and there are legal problems for SPORTSBOOKS that accept bets on Australian events, the only cases where there have been reports of the Australian authorities actually taking action against online wagering by it's residents. Australians cannot play at Lasseters, and I expect it is strictly "illegal" for them to play at any online casino, but the rules are not enforced, which is how it used to be in the US (unclear laws, rarely pursued). It seems Germany has also become a problem, and there is now a "No Germans" category for accredited casinos to go with "No USA".
 
Cheers Vinyl :)

I did check of the terms etc and there is nothing regarding Aussie players at all - and my account is still open so you would think they would close it immediately if we were banned.

The legislation over here makes it technically legal to play online for the average joe. However, the fines are huge for anyone caught promoting online gaming to Australian residents. It is interesting to note that NO company or individual has been prosecuted under the Act since its inception in 2000 :rolleyes:

I'll let you know the outcome in a few weeks when CS replies to my emails. :o
