InterCasinos BJ bonus - really shitty - be careful

[GI Joe]

Got an email from Inter a few days ago offering me a 300€ match bonus with 10 times WR on BJ.

But there is a catch...seems to be a 400 times WR hidden deep in their terms - they should be a shame

"From my email:

Matched Deposit bonus - code: BJ300:
•This bonus is only valid for your account XXXXXXX and will not be valid for any other accounts at InterCasino.
• IMPORTANT DATES FOR THIS BONUS : You have until midnight on the 31st May 2012 to claim this offer.
• You are required to make a SINGLE deposit of at least €10 to qualify for this promotion.
• You are required to wager an amount equal to 10 times your deposit and bonus credit in wagering requirements - i.e. 10 x (deposit + bonus) before you may withdraw your initial deposit, the bonus credit and any winnings."

I'm no longer an Intercasino customer, but thanks for the heads up. Just goes to show why you must ALWAYS read all the T&Cs.

You should edit out your account details from your post.

Only counting 5%?

So, .05 of every 1$ wagered is counted towards your WR, if I'm reading that right.

So, 10 for deposit. 10x (300+10)= 3100

Only 5 cents of every dollar is going to count.


So, it'll take 20 dollar wagers to equal a single dollar removed from playthrough.

3100 x 20= 62, 000

Wow. Just wow.

This is actually a bonus for (if you deposit 10, the min) 6200x your deposit if you just count the deposit. And 200x the D+B if you deposit minimum.

At least, I think so that math is correct (just playing with maths, please correct if I am wrong, forgot a step! )

They're coming at us diagonally!!!
... Pretty sneaky, InterCasino.

I got this bonus offer too. At first I thought, wow a decent Blackjack bonus for a change. But then I started thinking that it sounds a bit too good to be true

FYI, here are the promotion terms for everyone to see:

Old / Expired Link

Seems crystal clear, doesn't it? You can complete the WR only on Blackjack and the WR is 10 X (D+B). Look at those terms, does it indicate anywhere the that the WR is actually
200 x (D + B), in other words 20 times more! So for $300 bonus you would need to wager no less than $120 000 on Blackjack. And not just any blackjack, the best ones are even excluded

Bottom line is, if the promotion says that the WR is 10x(D+B) then there should be at least one game to which this WR applies to. With this particular bonus there are none - you can only play Blackjack, so obviously the stated WR can only apply to that game.

I wonder how many players fell into this trap.

I think Max needs to clear his schedule for the next few weeks. Here is a dozen PABs waiting to happen.

I've always played at IC, but I'm less than impressed with some of their recent antics. I agree that this promotion is totally misleading and completely misrepresents the real terms of the bonus.
