Seems Microgaming casinos are none to keen on new players winning on their bonuses these days.
Check out this latest generic effort:
If you want a laugh read their plan for world domination
"Charismatic Quatro CEO, Philippe Weber, gives us a rare glimpse into the dynamics behind creating one of the most sophisticated and cutting-edge online casinos on the Net.
GM Gaming Ltd consists of a group of managers that excelled in the land-based casino industry since the 70s, and continued their success in online casinos. I brought the dream team together in the 90s and since then we have combined our wealth of experience to successfully dominate in the online gambling arena.
One of the things that make the GM Gaming Ltd team so special is that were all enthusiastic gamers ourselves. We therefore have knowledge and experience in both sides of gaming, which means the management team has excellent knowledge of how to reward players better, and how to make the player experience even greater.
Launching Quatro was a dream come true. We are proud to be licensed by Malta, and being able to offer our players the ultimate in gaming software, provided by Microgaming.
We are also extremely privileged to work with a remarkable, multi-lingual behind-the-scenes team. Our staff comes from all corners of the globe, so Quatro has amazing cultural diversity that brings together global harmony in the brand.
I see Quatro as being a major player in the online gambling arena. Our aim is to be one of the top 4 industry players within the next 4 years by becoming the gaming platform of choice.
"
And what have they got to attract new players? Well there's the awful Malta licensing. There's the 'they all look the same' Microgaming software.
And then there's the bonuses.
Ah yes, the bonuses.
For a limited time only: Choose between 2 fantastic Quatro Opening Offers and start off your journey to becoming a Quatro superstar with a Welcome Bonus that suits your unique style!
Please choose ONE of the following Opening Offers:
$444 FREE and 44 minutes to win as much as you can!
OR
The Sexy 7 Welcome Bonus valued at $1004 FREE!
OOOOOOH.
So exciting!
Let's have a look at the $444 free.
They claim:
Option 1: $444 FREE and 44 minutes to win as much as you can!
Turn your spinning into winning the Quatro way with this limited-time Welcome Offer where you receive $444 FREE to play for 44 minutes AND keep your winnings!
NO DEPOSIT NEEDED!
Your $444 FREE will be waiting for you to start spinning and winning!
Remember: Theres no deposit required, PLUS you get to keep all your winnings up to $100!
And even if you dont win, simply purchase $100 and well give you a 100% match!
That sounds good, no deposit and you can cashout $100 with a $444 balance. Winning $100 from $444 is an odds-on chance for sure.
Let's read the terms and conditions to check.
I'm confused. I thought I was allowed to keep $100 with no deposit?
What's all this about 'winning a 100% bonus?' 'Winning' a $200/$200 bonus doesn't sound that great at all.
So if you lose you get $100/$100
They've then got some more conditions for the same promotion:
It's unclear what the purpose of these second set of terms is, whether they accidentally wrote two sets of terms for the same promotion, if the two sets go together, or if it's just the first or second set.
Who knows? Certainly not these self-proclaimed charismatic casino industry experts. And whether it's 50 deposit plus up to 200 bonus, or a 100% bonus of the amount of your winnings, the claim that 'no deposit is required' is a lie.
Ok, so British, Danish, Israeli, Greek and Russian players have to wager 50 times the bonus. What about everyone else?
That's a sneaky one. Good luck noticing that term amongst the EIGHT THOUSAND words of terms on the Quatro casino promotion terms page.
Anyway, if you take the free play bonus, it seems you are going to be able to transfer up to 200, and you'll either have to deposit 50 or 100% of the bonus amount. Your guess is as good as mine.
Wagering requirements are 50x for a few countries, for other countries your guess is as good as mine, but unless you play slots it could be up to 1000x. Good luck taking over the world with those terms.
So how about the other bonus?
An exciting destination? I do hope it's not Malta.
And the terms, oh yes, there are thousands of words of them.
That's a novel term. Video Poker counts towards the wagering, but if you play it you won't get any bonuses.
Wagering:
Ah so it's 40 times. Clearly the 30 times nearly ever Microgaming casino has just wasn't enough for these super-charismatic casino geniuses.
You say players from "Russia, Denmark, Greece and the UK" commonly abuse bonuses, why are you banning the Israelis as well. Anti-semitism?
Just in case anyone was going to cashout, here's a rule for you to forget to comply with.
WTF?
If you look under the $444 bonus terms:
So Classic Blackjack counts 5% for one promotion and 0% for the other. Or is this just an excuse to confiscate people's money when they play that game, sorry we didn't say it didn't count, but it doesn't - tough luck mofos.
If that wasn't enough, there are even MORE terms, which presumably apply to both the $444 free play and the Welcome Bonus, but good luck noticing them if you were just playing the $444 bonus.
What does that mean? Above it says you have to play at least 250 bets, is that not reasonable?
What's a large wager? If you always play 50 or 100/hand is that large?
Minimum effort? There's a 40 or 50x wagering requirement here. That doesn't sound like minimum effort to me, good luck having anything left in fact.
We'll steal your money if you win.
But if that wasn't enough, there are MORE conditions:
Looks like it's 40x for new players, 30x for others. Just for extra confusion.
WTF? Doesn't anyone proof read this garbage?
25% - Blackjack, Video Poker, Craps, Baccarat, Casino War, Sicbo - 5%
And Classic Blackjack isn't mentioned again.
So you can withdraw and lose the bonus? Or would they in fact decide this is abuse, and steal your money. Your guess is as good as mine.
Withdrawal is not a verb.
Winning bets ARE, not is.
"with winnings EXCEEDING", not "exceeds". "Less earned credits" is almost incomprehensible.
Oops, looks like they forgot to put that 'short tutorial' up.
Had enough yet?
Tough.
More.
Enough?
Still more:
May be CASHED in.
But quite what that has to do with the Car I have no idea.
And I thought the play through was 40 times on the first deposit. Make your mind up clowns.
The WHAT group? I thought this was GM Gaming, run by the super-charismatic 'Philippe'. Have they just stolen these terms from PlayShare?
Eh? Either they eligible, in which case they get entered into the draw, or they are not, in which case you don't enter them.
Enough terms?
No?
They have more!
More:
So much for 'regulation' by Malta, eh?
General terms:
Really? But you are not giving me credit. If I go to Las Vegas with $500 they don't ask for my credit report.
You'll do WHAT?
What if you don't offer my country's currency. And why should you steal my winnings even if I didn't take a bonus?
I hope the 'charismatic Phillippe' is proud of this dump.

But this is beyond my patience and skills.
) looks to be the best, but only play on SLOTS is safe, play any other game & you have a minefield of terms to get through. How can this EVER lead to a "safe and pleasant experience" for the player, who will probably be sh1**1ng their pants after every withdrawal from a bonus as to whether they get paid.
