my first cashout ever at inet, $45 from their free chip. the faxback process took a few days and was kind of a hassle, but when all was said and done the money was transferred very quickly. considering the fact they don't have chat, their e-mail responses are pretty efficient.
and i don't know why i didn't mention this before, but i totally symphatize with the op because i've also hit a random jackpot with a max cashout limit but did get to keep $2000 out of over $6000. it was not at inet though and i do remember that sick feeling as well. would have been worse if i only got $45!
i hoped the max cashout thing would have been changed because of things like this, but that hope was years ago.
It would seem that RTG operators can not support the financial risk of allowing free money to be used to "chase" the bigger RJ's. I cannot see why other casino operators can though, if reputable RTG casinos cannot.
Microgaming casinos sometimes give out free chips, and you can cash-out 100,000 if you win it. The ONLY exceptions to this are the "free play with 1000" type offers, and the small "try before you buy" chips. Once you have deposited into an account, operators of MG casinos have no win limits that the software is capable of exceeding (sportsbooks have daily win limits, but these are beyond the capability of the biggest non-progressive hit at MG, and progressives are not limited).
The only thing to do with RTG is to avoid playing any game that can give a big payout if you have free money with a max cashout. Where deposit bonuses have max cashouts, deposit enough such that any RJ falls within the 10x multiplier should you be lucky enough to win.
I did OK in the end. After putting $1000 into iNetbet and going through nearly all the birthday and newsletter codes, I finally managed to warm up the slots a little, and then it was like a repeat performance of ClubWorld
Nowhere near as good, but I met WR on the really BIG coupon, 90% to $360, with $1900 to withdraw, an overall gain of $900 (less the "thieving" exchange rates from Neteller
)
I did NOT use the $9 free chip, and if & when I do, I will NOT be playing Reel Series slots
