Considering Omni are in the recommended section Bryan must have a contact there.
KASINOKING, I couldn't care less what your opinion is. You're entitled to your opinion and I'm entitled to my opinion and in my OPINION this number that OMNI is trying to run in this is instance is nothing short of BS!!! Have a good one.KasinoKing said:I'm sorry - but you're the one who is totally wrong!
You & Megan seem to be saying 'This bonus money is already mine by right - how DARE the casino take it off me!'
Now that IS BS!
They are not saying what you said at all - they are just saying (put simply) 'please act like a gambler - take a few risks!'
Why shouldn't they say that? They are taking a HUGE risk by offering these bonuses in the first place.
Where do you think they get all this 'free money' from??
Have they got money-trees out the back???
Jeeeeeeeze! :icon_twis

The poster is NOT playing with her own money! If you will reread her post, she has taken a $210 profit and deposited $200 of that for her November buy in.
DeMango said:Last time I checked even land casinos are allowed to tap you on the shoulder and refuse your play even if you are losing. Rescind comps mind you! Why? Same reason as this poster - why not just count out aloud??? Absolutely no brains in wagering, no attempt at disguise. I have no sympathy for this even though she might have due recourse according to T&C's. In the long run this stupidity costs you more money as opposed to a short term gain. I trust the BoHo's are taking notes!
Yeah, you're right. I've made profit in 32 of the last 34 months.kangamick said:Kasinoking i think you need help with your gambling buddy, i think you have a problem.
KasinoKing said:I totally agree with Dickens.
Megan admitted she just flat-bet blackjack to meet the WR 3 months in a row.
What do you expect the casino to do???
I also totally agree with Omni, and I hope they continue with this policy. The only other option would be to stop giving bonuses altogether, spoiling it for 'proper' gamblers like me.
I take crypto bonuses every month, and often withdraw just after meeting WR. But I play all different games and never 'flat-bet' any of them. I've never had any complaints from the casino's, and I've done 'very nicely, thank you! '
I urge everyone NOT to just flat-bet any game for WR because;
a) It's boring as hell.
b) Your behaviour is only likely to lead to casino's getting tighter & tighter with their bonuses, making it harder for us 'proper' gamblers to maintain the income we have become accustomed to!
So CUT IT OUT!
You may not agree with my statements, but that doesn't necessarily make them ridiculous!Vesuvio said:KasinoKing, you've made too many ridiculous statements on this thread to address them all, but one is the assumption that flat-betting isn't gambling. Maybe you should try flat betting BJ for a while at a casino (especially a Cryptologic casino) and see what happens - then you might have a better understanding of how bonuses work.
p.s. for what it's worth - flat betting is just one approach & it's perfectly easy to use a sensible progression or different games to still keep the odds in your favour. You're just as likely to be banned if you win, though, unless you play stupidly.
PS: No offense taken, nor intended by me against anyone else!Vesuvio said:Sorry for getting personal, but then you were the one to go on the attack first
Flat betting of any low edge game is always going to be seen by any casino as 'bonus abuse'.
If Megan had played a progressive pattern, or maybe played a couple of 100 at stud, or some other game, the chances are Omni wouldn't have taken the action they did.
This is entirely guesswork on my part.trick said:Either you have a unique insight into Omnis way of conducting business or this is entirely guesswork on your part.
We do apologize for handling incorrectly, we sort of put the cart before the horse. We are changing the bonus policy to reward loyal players and not those players who look to only play the bonus money, and some players got categorized incorrectly. No long winded email, just a simple, "We dropped the ball on this one and are going to make it right".
KasinoKing said:I never said flat betting isn't gambling - just implied that it's not very sensible gambling. I think even you agreed with me on this in your 'ps'!
What I'm trying to say, is with known house odds against you, flat betting one game continuously will inevitably lead to loss, whether this is your own cash, or bonus money.
So why would anyone want to do that, unless trying to meet a WR with minimum risk?

DeMango said:Greetings Stanford;
It took two posts to answer me, aren't you special! You need to read the REAL Stanford site (bj21.com) to catch your mistakes!
"That's not correct. Atlantic City can't bar you from counting. Count out loud all you wish." Since I didn't mention AC why do you? They have other measures such as half shoing and preferential shuffles. In Eastern Europe you may end up in a gutter, in Nepal in jail!
"In Las Vegas a casino can request not to take your action. That's not because it is correct but simply because they exert a huge amount of political pressure." Oh really? The term 86'd mean anything? Trespassed? Thrown out of their comped rooms in the middle of the night? It all happens!
"I repeat this player is risking her own money. Once you win the money it is yours." That is your opinion. I see $210 profit being reinvested. Maybe the casino sees it different. At any rate considering the T&C's I posted the casino could be a bear. Maybe with this bad publicity they will change their minds, pay her and screw the rest of us later. Any bets?
By the way this is not the first posting of this individual - something about a neteller bonus at FL They (FL) didn't back down - Why? Could it be they weren't too happy with the totaled wagered in relation to requirements? Safe bet huh?
