Ongoing Diabolical Promotions

[Nate]

I think the offer was meant to be 0.09c - Genuine mistake. The templates for these emails are often re-used. I have mailed them in the past letting them know of mistakes in their mailers. If only someone vetted them before sending it out, there wouldn't be confusion.

That is horrendous playthrough requirements on a £30 bonus.

In my earlier years of slotting, I was caught out on these kinds of bonuses. My own fault as I never read the terms.
Nothing riles me more than a casino making you wager your own deposit along with the bonus.

Absolutely , redbet sneaked it in and when you get a poxy shit bonus and you have to wager d&b it is a piss take, multilotto just got a UK license and where is the 300% bonus ect? know where to be seen as its 50% and wager d&b

Just seen the new BBF casino betathome so went and checked it out, this is just as bad because it has 60x wager on bonus

Misleading?



Maybe I missed out on a key point of my education but I have difficulty processing the Complimentary / Deposit part!

Oooooh, what would I do without my daily doses of sarcasm.

I'm just wondering if anyone found the hidden dildo's and put them to good use?

 

[geordiecolin]

I wish all of these casino's would feck off sending me deposit offers to play Emoticon's in order to be entered into some fecking prize draw that I had very little chance of winning and that I will never learn who did win ( if anyone) If have lost count of the amount of emails I have had today for this offer

Isn't that the kind of promotion that are done by Netent or whoever created that game, and all casinos have to send out to their players?
The reason they don't tell there is one prize for all members together is of course because they know very few would go for it. I don't think they have much choice though...or they see it as just another promotion where they don't have to pay the prize themselves

Yes. The first time I witnessed this type of campaign I fell for it when the first email dropped in. Then throughout the day I received endless emails from other casino's promoting the exact same thing!
For me it is a con. I have no idea if it is easy to check up on who eventually won or how it was drawn? Does anyone have any info on it?

 

[Jono777]

Prize draw, Casino Race, Cash Back = loud "tut!", email deleted and deposit made elsewhere!

The only site I know of where some (minor) restrictions are imposed on fun mode play is Quasar Gaming (Novomatic), but what were Jackpot & Co. thinking?? Hilariously bad advertising!

 

[FAZI1]

Funny terms and conditions from new Direx Net Ent casino - eldoradocasino.net

They have 3 Welcome deposit bonuses 150% - 100% and 50% - all deposit bonuses max Bonus - up to 300€ with wagering x 40 bonus amount and max cashauts after wagering - 200€

So lets make simulations first deposit 150% - so max is deposit 200€ + 300€ max bonus = 500€ for start with wagered 300 x 40 - 12000€ wagering and after wagering max cashauts is 200€ = so same amount like player deposit for start .

In case secund secund deposit for max bonus - 100% - deposit 300€ + 300€ bonus = 600€ for start - wagering 40 x bonus - after wagered 12.000€ max cashauts is 200€ smaler amount then we start .

50% bonus for third deposit - 600€ deposit for colect max bonus 300€ = 900€ for start with wagering - ( 12.000€ ) = Max cashauts after wagering wil be 200€ so 1/3 from our deposit amount.

Wednesday bonus: 20% up to 200€ - wagering x 40€ - max cashauts - 200€

Saturday bonus 20% up to 200€ - wagering x 40€ - max cashauts - 200€

So if their customers decided make bigger deposit to grab max bonus - Then they have problem beacose max cashauts ratio compared to starting deposit amount is ridicolus.

Who set up this terms and conditions must be a little drunk .

 

[Jono777]

Ok, So not the worst promotion in the world but a little cheekily worded IMO.

A decent group but take it they have school work experience in their offices this week.

[geordiecolin]

Yet another promo that I am getting bombarded with by countless casino's. Some are hinting in their email text that it is not casino specific without actually saying so and some are giving no clue that it is a pooled promo from Netent.
Has anyone ever found a casino post a winner for any of these pooled Netent promo's?
This one involved playing JATB and Jack Hammer

 

[TheAddict]

Cleaned the house, got shit out the way, then sat down and prepeared myself for what probably would have been a long session with the 1 spin on starburst promo at leo. Seems that has ended though, plans disrupted!

Sweating and not knowing what to do with myself, Suprisingly come across a rare email from betspin in my email box. Could they have known of my plans for a long session?
50% reload bonus!! Min deposit of 20. With a smooth 35x d+B WR.
and 50 spins on the new aloha clone if one can be bothered to clear that initial wagering within 2 days, or is so unlucky that somehow the totally unimaginable and unlikely event arises in which one goes bust while trying to do so.

 

[brianmon]

So, basically....

Celebrate our first birthday by depositing £35 for £10 worth of spins on a crappy game

I dread to think what the office party will be like, if the management are that tight

 

[Billy18]

Impressively shit from Grosvenor.

Stake £250, for £5 with 20x wagering. At least there's "no deposit required"....

 

[spintee]

I have had the wankers flooding in 10% 20% yheeee great I want £2 added to my £20 depo to be screwed over

worst one is these pointless emails, try our new game yhe ok I do that just because your filling my inbox with shit, give me a few spins to at least try it for god sake

There is a few sites giving out still buts its as rare as rocking horse shit now days for a few free spins and even if there is some its about a new game yet spins are still on shitburst and a whole 50p worth

 

[brianmon]

Royal Panda

Deposit £250 for £50 worth of free spins !!!!





They're already covering their arse with the 35x wagering, and CASH ONLY wagering at that.




Why not try a more reasonable approach to promotions like LeoVegas
£100 deposit for £120 worth of spins, and a few days ago they offered 50x £2 spins for £100.




It's all covered by the wagering. So what's the problem

 

[theapple]

Some offers are just too good to be true

Stargames xmas calendar. Ive seen my fair share of bad offers but i really feel casinos will have hard time competing with this one



Its a huge, almost unbelievable 25% bonus, with a twist.

25% bonuses, on your 5th deposit can hardly get worse but Stargames made it so much more awesome by adding that "too good to be true" line. A true classic in a world of crappy bonuses. Its like Sharknado of bonuses.

 

[zap987]

Another one from Ikibu:
Email title: "One christmas gift remains: 2500 seeds"

Of course, a 25e deposit is needed to claim them and the value is 5e with wagering requirements on the winnings.

I emailed support and asked what kind of christmas gifts you have to pay for, the only reply I got was "Do you want me to unsubscribe you from mails" so apparently they don't see a problem.

 

[cncas2123]

Maybe I am wrong, but I think that the worst promotion of all is the Betat Wheel Spin - I deposited £100, lost it in 15 minutes, logged in the next day expecting to at least get spinning the wheel for some free spins, only to be told by support that I didnt qualify as i didnt wager my deposit 5 times..... no problem Betat, you wont get another deposit from me, ever.

You're not missing much. I've done the wheel twice and won 5 spins, both times

 

[theapple]

Slotty Vegas, probably Betat too but tbf after reading slottys mail i couldnt be bothered checking betats site. They have 2 offers and im not really sure which one is worse and which one belongs to this topic more, but they are both diabolical regardless.

Wage ‘N’ Exchange

wager $ 5000 to get 20 free spins, doesnt even state which slot are free spins at but i suspect its something like 20-25 cents spins so thats $4 or $5 bonus, with 30x wagering. Or in percentage its anything between 0.08 % and 0.1% bonus. with 30x wagering, which yuou cant even wager with real money.

there are also higher tiers
- wager $12,500 for 50 free spins
- wager $25,000 for 100 free spins

notice how it gets progressively better as you wager more. no it doesnt. its still as bad

they also have something for extreme high rollers - wager $175.000 and get $150 bonus with just x40 wagering! Thats a cool 0.0857% bonus.

Their 2nd offer is to deposit $20 to get bonus wheel which unless it changed greatly mostly gives 5 free spins. But fine it says "up to 100" spins so i guess getting 100 spins must be possible too. Thats if you manage to spin the wheel to begin with because of this term :

Monday total deposits must be wagered at least 5 times to be eligible for the free wheel.

What happened to those guys:? they used to have great promos but it seems they moved from best promos on the market to the other extreme, because id be hard pressed to find worse promos even in costa rica licensed casinos

 

[geordiecolin]

Whenever I read "mystery Bonus" or "Spin the wheel" or "Prize draw" as well as "Win a share of" when they are associated with making a deposit I simply delete the email.

 

[brianmon]

£22.50 worth of spins for £100 deposit, and if you carried on playing DOA it would only count 75% towards the 40x wagering.

A better idea would be to deposit at any casino with a 50% deposit bonus (there's usually one or two on any given day offering them), and give yourself 50 x 90p spins or even 100 x 90p spins on a 100% bonus

Easier said than done after a Caddell ban - Struggle to find any sort of worthwhile %age matches these days.

 

[TheAddict]

Personally wouldn't deposit 40quid for those doa spins. Could see myself sulking if winning less than a tenner and pissed off if i hit a wl at 40x wr.
Ok im a low roller so likely hold a different view than some high rollers who might not mind risking 100 to possibly put themselves in either situation, but i did cringe at the email earlier and was wondering if it would end up in here

 

[colinsunderland]

This must be one of the worst ever, its from Spin Princess.

Between 18/01/2018 and 21/01/2018 you'll get 200 bonus spins on Starburst if you have a net win of more than £1500 on any day during the promotion period.

To be eligible for the 200 bonus spins, players must have a net win of more than £1500 on any day during the promotion period.

A bonus of 200 Spins will be added to your account.

These Spins will be worth £0,10 and valid on Starburst only.

All winnings earned from the spins will be rewarded in bonus funds and carry a wagering requirement of 30x the total bonus amount earned.

4x Conversion: the maximum conversion amount from bonus funds to cash will be capped at 4x the bonus amount awarded.Bonus funds convert automatically once wagering is complete.

So WIN £1500, get £20 in starburst spins, but then if you win say £10 from them, the max cashout is £40.

Better get my card ready for my deposit

 

[pinnit2014]

You'd be better trying to win 5 consecutive times in Winning room for 250 spins!

 

[greylady]

This is verging on the ridiculous, CasinoEuro advertising 20 free spins on Book of Dead in addition to your welcome bonus, how worthless are 20 free spins on one line at 1p each - that just takes the biscuit

 

[GC_Konstantin]

I don't like deposit bonuses which are good for slots only to clean the wagering requirement but also have a maximum cap on winnings. I saw a few of these at Golden Euro recently. And the cap is not even something decent amount...

 

[pinnit2014]

Casino heroes had a crap promo re phantom. Something like deposit 50 for 50 free spins. Nah, I’ll pass

So to withdraw a £15 bonus just how much do you have to wager?
1500 to get it in the first place
Then 15 x 40 (600) to turn it into money
So £2100 WR for a £15 bonus which equals a 140x WR

Sounds bad at first sight, but Betat has some 6 or 7 campaigns running in parallel. Taken together they are rather good value. The aim is of course to have players going back more often or in plain terms, player retention.

New UK Welcome Bonus at Go Wild casino:

Wagering is now (Deposit+Bonus)x35 and Phantom!
(Used to be cashable)

If that wasn't crazy enough, UK players are now capped to maximum cash-out of £1,000...
So on the max 100% bonus up to £333...
Deposit £333, start play with £666, wager £23,310 and then not be allowed to cash-out more than £1,000 after having the £333 removed when WR finished.
i.e. the MOST you can win is Deposit x3

They've gone waaay downhill since changing to multiplatform. They were much fairer when solely MG casino.

 

[DreamRJ]

Well what I find diabolical is those emails I get from thrills casino about once every few months that is for a 10% match bonus. Those type of promotions are seriously the worst kind. Because not only does it tie you into wagering for such a tiny bonus amount I think it also is D+B for the WR as well at thrills. Been a long time since I played there anyway.

But in light of the new UKGC ruling I am not sure if thrills have changed their terms yet and made wager on bonus funds happen once you used real money first. So if they have then I suppose the 10% is ok but if in other countries then I tell ya, never ever ever ever take the 10% bonuses on a deposit.

And also if I am not mistaken about 4 or 5 years ago when I used to play at gowild they too had the same similar deposit bonuses of 10% - 25% match bonuses. 32red did on occasion as well, but most of the time at 32red they was 50% or 100%.

Good morning DreamRJ.

Firstly, I am sorry to hear that you haven't been thrilled with our previous campaigns. I am sure we will come up with something that everyone can enjoy!

When it comes to the new UK ruling, in the interests of transparency to our users we have taken the decision to remove all bonus offers that have wagering requirements attached to them for now (UK player's only). For the time being, we are investigating the situation, exactly what, when, and how much we can offer to our players. We will have a solution for this matter as soon as possible, for now, we offer wager free spins for UK players on the first deposit.

We need to take the UKGC regulations seriously to provide and offer the best, fair and thrilling gaming experiences to our player's.

Kind regards,

Thrills rep
