I've played InterCasino off and on for the past three years, and I've generally been very satisfied with their service. I just came back after a hiatus of a few months, and I was a bit surprised at the changes on their European Roulette table. I'm not exactly sure when the change occurred, so this news might be a few months old.
I'm one of those stubborn "systems" players, I usually start off with just a handful of $1 bets on some streets. As the game goes on, I raise my bets in a Martingale manner. I never hit the maximum limit for either an individual bet or the overall table limit. Typical for Martingale progression, it usually ends when I hit the end of my bankroll
Now that I just came back to play once more, I found that I couldn't operate my trusted old system anymore. I was thoroughly confused by error message TR3179, about not meeting the minimum bet requirements. Only after some experimentation did it dawn on me that the minimum bet is now $10 for any inside bet, and even $50 for outside bets. Then I noticed the pop-up "tooltip" in the overview room, and indeed, it now declares the European Roulette table to be confined to $10-$100 limits.
I can't afford to play my system from $10 initial bets, so I was relieved to find a workaround to this new minimum bet. It turns out that the limit setting $1-$100 is still available for "Play Alone" ; this means not playing live at the same table with other online players anymore, like I always used to do. I'll gladly take this possibility, and I don't think I'll miss the chats with other players much, but I think I vaguely recall that in the old days, the bounds were actually $1-$500.
What prompted InterCasino to make this change ? And why would they allow more lenient limits for private play than for online multiplayer sessions ?
