I've been playing at the different casino's in Jackpot Capital Group for around a year. I'm not a high roller but I've dropped 1 - 1.5k in this group in the last year and never made a withdrawal. I take bonuses more often than, but not always. I can only recall a couple of times when I could have made a small withdrawal, but it didn't seem to be worth it for a few hundred. There was one other time when I made the play-through on a freebie but I wasn't playing close enough attention to it and when they deducted the balance to get it down to max payout, I had already played a big chunk of it back.
Like other players I get the mailings from time to time offering free chips, at first glance they seem quite generous until you see the play-through requirement of 60x and the max of x5 cashout. The way I view it the higher the chip the less chance you have of cashing out since the play-through is almost impossible to make anyway. I think it's just a marketing ploy to trick your mind into thinking you are getting something for nothing but yes I will admit that I usually do play the freebies.
Anyway I got a 25 dollar freebie, from grande vegas and I played it, thinking I'd kill a few minute of time. To my shock I actually made the playthrough, $1500 I was hitting like crazy in triple twister (why can't this happen on a non max bonus) so I decide to go cash out my 125. It all goes to hell in a handbasket from there.
Customer service tells me I need to play it up to 155 so the 30 dollar fee will be covered, which is a recipe for disaster usually cause odds are you are gonna bust out. So I go back in and to my shock again, I get it up to 155, so again I go to cash out. Then I find out from customer service that they told me wrong, I can not withdraw by check because the min for check is 150, remember my max is 125 so a check is out for me. So now CS tells me my only option is wire and that is 55.00 fee. By this time, I'm getting a little fed up with it but decide what the hell so I go back in a play some more and quickly get it up to 171........whew right. So then I go to withdraw AGAIN and I keep getting an error message, so back on chat I go and guess what..........the max I can withdraw is 100, (never mind that my max cashout from the coupon is 125). So now I have 100 cashable. Max of 125 is not accurate because of the damn fees.
And..........drumroll.......my bank will charge me a incoming wire fee, not to mention the risk of causing suspicion as to where that wire came from, where as if I had been able to get a check, I wouldn't have worried about it as much.
Not worth it, is it? The whole think is really leaving a really bad taste in my mouth.
Hope I haven't confused you too much.
