Ongoing Diabolical Promotions

[robby811]

If this is a sign of what's to come in 2019 than the CoS at VS is a blessing.

I am pretty sure we will see more of these re-adjusted offers where winnings are capped at a stunningly low amount.

Energy Casino headline - Start 2019 with a bang!

Example: 100 dep + 25 bonus = 125 x 30 WR = 3,750 total WR or 150x B

Should you then have one of those extra super lucky days where all stars align and had no black cat crossing your path to make it through the wagering requirement with some sort of balance, the maximum you are allowed to keep is EUR200.

And Energy Casino is so gracious to let you have that BANG 4 times!!! ...Right, but thanks, no thanks!

It's even worse if you took the maximum bonus of €150 each time. That would be a maximum conversion of 1.33x Bonus or 1/3 of your initial deposit

You are right! I didn't get that far with my calculations as I was fuming already when I saw the WR and the max cap.

They are sure "banging" their players!

@AgentEnergy Care to comment on your "banging" offer? Will this be the new normal?

@AgentEnergy Care to comment on our "banging" offer? Will this be the new normal?

This is the VIP offer

Sign of the times harry as your no doubt well aware, i have closed down over 90% of all my accounts including self exclusion for min of 5years, not via gambling problem but to do with all the promos,sow & just shitty offers.

Unless your doing 1k a month in a casino your getting nothing these days. Everyone keeps pointing to its hard, bottom line is far far to many greedy casinos & not enough spent on retaining loyal customers. I think over next couple of years this will get worst

Well with so generous bonus you cant really blame them for having max cashout capped at 200.

afterall, 25% bonuses with 150x wagering are something that gives huuuge edge to players taking such a bonus, so naturally casinos need to make sure people dont abuse their goodwill.

I honestly suspect this bonus is so good that at least 1 out of 1500 people are going to cash out from it and once that happens Energy has to make sure that cashout isnt too big. Thats where max cashout comes to play. Thats if there were 1500 people crazy enough to take it.

/s

seriously, this stuff should be illegal. 150x wagering with max cashout limited at 1,33 - 20 times your deposit is shocking. Whats even more shocking is that gambling commissions allow it, imo. If this stuff becomes a norm they might as well replace deposit with donate icon, wouldnt make any difference tbh.

this bonus is so bad that you cant really be sure anyone is actually going to make cashout from it, and even if they do its going to be despite the bonus not thanks to it. To have max win capped on top of 150x wagering is insane really.

Energy never had good bonus offers to begin with (it was always d+b) so i usually pass even on their 100% bonuses, but this just made it so much worse and i really believe their group (energy, lvbet) together with ikibu currently has the worst bonus offers out of all reputable sites.

Lvbet is even worse in that regard, as their bonus is 35x (d+b) and they have a couple of 25% bonuses every week

If casinos are going to offer such rubbish offers, they'd be as well not doing so. If i play at an only cash casino I know what I'm getting - some of the offers of these places over the last few months have simply meant I've not deposited with them purely out of the fact their offers are shocking - so, rather than be a retention tool, it's having an adverse effect - good job casinos If you can't offer punters something decent, don't pay lip service and offer crap instead.

Wheres that pathetic offer at?

Sorry - Dunder

 

[snorky510238]

Sorry - Dunder

You used to get regular 50% bonus offers there. Since the site was revamped they have gone dreadful I am sure I had one offer that required 90x wagering. I still play there as they have a good choice of games and I have never had any issues but I don’t take bonuses anymore.

For some players, the current promo at Mr Green might not be bad, but it surely is diabolical for the "normal" folks as we are. Called "Take a Mr. Green Moment" it has three parts:

- 100 spins at €1.00 on three Red Tiger Gaming slot will get you 30 seconds of free spins, up to 2.5 minutes per day, on the same games. WR = 35x FS winnings.
- Spin with minimum €2.50 on three Yggdrasil games for a random cash drop of up to €1,000
- 400 spins at €10 on three Quickspin slots will get you direct access to 1 bonus round at €5.00 bet size on Sakura Fortune, up to twice per day. Winnings are cash. That would be €8,000 in wagering per day!

Yeah right, this will have us slotting folks buzzing, especially the last offer which looks really low-to-medium roller friendly while being the only one that can actually get you something decent. And of course the one we could normally afford has WR attached, while the other two are cash offers.

I saw this one yesterday! What a beaut of an offer

 

[pinnit2014]

Just seen the email: what a god awful promo. Makes my Highroller one spin a day look like quite the catch.

Mr G are really an all inclusive joint these days. 20p minimum bet spins are so 2018

 

[pinnit2014]

Not totally bad but still...Highrollers: wager 2k on Book of Dead and get 50 one pound spins in same game.

Now, that’s not even attractive if they are wager free cos that game can go 20 without a win easily but they are 35x wagering.... hold me back from depositing 1k to meet the wagering of 2k.

Last week they had a better off - wager 1k in push gaming and get a wager free 3 quid bonus round on a PG slot.

[goatwack]

Sad part is, someone's gonna take that offer up

 

[dionysus]

50% bonus and 4x cap?
hard pass

 

[Jono777]

Bonus banned at Caddell (twice!) yet never seen so many 10% deposit bonus e-mails

 

[Reelsoffun]

Its why I stopped playing there Harry, bonuses are a joke.

 

[Greigssy]

You want up to 100 free spins at 0.20 on some crap blueprint slots?
Well just lose up to £1000 and they're yours!

 

[TheAddict]

betfair, as usual, never fails to dissapoint. it's like they try to go out of their way to do so. seriously got to find somewhere else to play poker than spend time there with these windup merchants.

so, i sit down, just about to play poker and figured I'd see what promos either aren't available or, if any are, which ones I'm not eligable for when i click on them or click accept lol. the usual crap in arcade, but what's this?! some promo in the casino!
"make 1 spin on age of gods, get 5-100 free spins on some other game" . with the odds of getting the higher amounts being less likely, obviously.

I'll accept that then boss!. click accept and it loads up the game.
so i get comfy, and make my spin. going on to endure 1 long intense pause before the reels wind up and the action commences. then it spins in nothing. fekin fuming, but no need to rip the house apart yet!
the popup appears, as mentioned that it would after clicking accept and making the spin, telling me how many spins I'd won! sweet, watcha got for me darlin?

it reads:
"sorrry adam, you are not eligable for this promotion"

well, they are ceartinly eligable to kiss my ...
& i also want my twenty effing pence back!

I would actually go on live chat and demand my spins or my money back cos it would piss me off so much lol. FWIW I got 25 spins, but the games to play them on were shit 9p and 10p ones so you wouldn't have won much anyway

 

[TheAddict]

weren't gonna bother but you're right, it did piss me off to not have been notified until afterwards lol. the dude in CS did confirm that i was not eligable for casino promos, compared to a few months ago where i was told there is no restrictions on my account despite many saying im not eligable the moment i clicked accept. then the guy told me he isnt eligable for casino promos either haha.
was offered for the inconvenience 4x €1 poker tokens.. so yeah if you happen to see some random guy pointing at the camera and mouthing the words "i wouldnt be here if it wasnt for you colin u legend!" on the next World poker tour, then you know, because of you, i made it.
