A recent Pitch-A-Pitch brought to light two clauses in the Terms and Conditions of many Microgaming casinos that I feel players should be alerted to.
It is my understanding that these clauses are designed to weed out advantage players based on their typical betting patterns, but since regular players might easily be caught in the same net I believe this Warning is justified:
The two clauses in question are as follows (my bolding):
In the first case making small minimum-risk bets, as you might do in order to complete you Wagering Requirements, could well find you in breach of these Terms.
In the second case making a single, entire balance + bonus, bet would find you in violation of the Terms.
So, player beware, these are standard MGS Terms: they can and will be used against you if your playing patterns match those described.

The two clauses in question are as follows (my bolding):
Observations of playing patterns such as the playing for deliberate
minimum risk, equal, zero margin or hedge betting may not be considered
as playing in the appropriate spirit for the purposes of meeting bonus
wagering requirements. Should the Casino deem that these practices have
been utilized for the specific purpose of meeting wagering requirements,
the casino reserves the right to withhold any cashins and/or confiscate
all winnings. ...
Other practices of playing behaviour which may lead to the casino
withholding cashins and/or confiscating all winnings include, but are
not limited to, placing single bets whereby the wager consists of the
majority of the total available balance and the bonus balance
contributing to a significant portion of that balance. Should the casino
deem that practices such as this have been utilized, the casino reserves
the right to withhold any cashins and/or confiscate all winnings.
In the first case making small minimum-risk bets, as you might do in order to complete you Wagering Requirements, could well find you in breach of these Terms.
In the second case making a single, entire balance + bonus, bet would find you in violation of the Terms.
