Nostalgia - Unbelievable wagering requirements

Casino Action

I think this group have got the hint!
I have just been offered $100 in my REAL account simply for replying to an E-mail from VIP services.
I have raised these issues about the daft WR, and the fact that even Platinum VIPs are treated as though they are skimming a sign-up. I noticed the reduction in coin size during the Blackjack monthly tournament, which is played from a 'guest' account. This is to stop the do or die wager followed by autoplay Atlantic City on 50c. The only way to beat WR is to use far more volatile games such as VP, feature slots, etc - and hope for a big win before all the bonus has gone. I have had both 4 deuces and a Royal Flush in the bonus account, and fortunately the Royal was a week before the rule on wagering transfers was introduced!
I am sure they are losing players to other groups, and I will play Jackpot factory till I get banned from promos there. I would be interested to know exactly what gets one banned, I will ask them next time I phone - they are most helpful, and have even given me free money for my suggestions. I only have two accounts though, perhaps it is players that open all 5 at once and play only the promo sign-ups and other match offers that end up banned.
Pinching the 1000 St Patricks pot was easy though, once they convinced me that I really had NOT misunderstood the terms when I pointed out how easy it could be for one who had just withdrawn a Royal Flush to Neteller the previous week :D Tumbling Dice has the same 'flaw' - however the highest overall wagerer wins on a tie, so playing the exact amount required could leave you with only $50 instead of the $500 for a correct prediction.
 
Maybe things are changing. I just got an offer saying that the money transferred from the bonus account would not have to be wagered again. Of course, I couldn't find anything abot what the new rules are.

I hope this group has seen the light.
 
Typical

Yep - and we Platinum players hear about it through this forum first yet again, when it should be CA that tell their players about it first! At least I can now put this to them next time I have ready a transfer from one of my Platinum accounts.
 
This is the thread I was referring to in my post about Music Hall. So it is only Platinum Players that don't have to wager 90 times?
 
Platinum

It is 'selected' platinum players, except they don't tell you that you are 'selected' till you ask. After I complained about the 90x even for Platinum I received '.. as you know you don't have to wager transfers'. Well, I didn't, no-one told me. I suggest that all platinum players should ask whether they will be required to wager any transfers. Another Platinum benefit, as I have just found out, is that you can have cash-ins flushed, and receive them the next processing day - this seems to apply to all Platinum players. They admit they do not publish this on their website, it is deliberate policy - not an error.
I get the impression that the terms become 'negotiable' within limits once one reaches platinum.
Further promotions are in the pipeline, and some have even surfaced recently, for Mother's day and Friday 13th (Both lucky draws). Deposit matches have been largely discontinued in favour of better 'Wheel of Cash' bonuses and more promotions. The big advantage of this move is that there is no need to wager the deposits 15x/45x, as the bonuses are deemed to be not a result of specific deposits. If you are 'selected' not to need to wager transfers, playing here is now worthwhile, as the WR are comparable. (Spin Palace has effective 150x for Blackjack now, and 60x for Video Poker - with JorB not allowed too). Belle Rock have cut Blackjack completely. The bonus terms are clearly getting tighter, and I expect others will be forced to follow.

As Platinum at Music Hall, they have rescinded the no-wr-on-transfers rule and are making me again do the 45x twice like all others. Belle Rock however has lifted BJ on some reloads....so it's kinda odd out there.
 
45x!!!

Good lord. What kind of bonus are you getting that you have to wager it 45x?????? This sounds insane...... :eek2:
 
Not 45 times. 90 times! Actually, more than 90 times if you win. And this is after I already wagered it 400 times!
 
wow

:eek: 90 times!!!! God the odds are in the casinos favor here. No way would I even bother getting the bonus!!! Unless you play big hands and get very lucky you could be in for some long nights :D

Anybody that finishes these wagering requirements :notworthy


And you wagered 400 times that and they still won't pay you????
