reef club casino happy hour?

[555YY]

Hello all,

i have been participating in CON's happy hour bonus pretty regularly and i think it's a great treat.
i see that reef club, their sister site, is offering a happy hour bonus as well (albeit a larger wr) now i don't have a problem with the larger wr, but i DO HAVE reservations about depositing a large amount of money into reef club (i need to deposit 2K to get the max bonus)
first of all, i would like to state that i had nothing but good experiences with reef club, they always have paid my winnings (a week later, but that seems to be their standard policy )
but there is a BIG difference between depositing 200$ vs. 2000$ into a casino. and reading over some old threads here and in other forums, it seems that they have not treated players most graciously in the past (by past i mean 1 or 2 years ago)
have they changed their tunes recently? has anyone participated in their happy hour bonus? have you gotten all your cash back (2k+) with no problems? anyone with experience is urged to share

Hi ezc

I played here last month for the 1st time, made a $200 deposit got a $200 bonus, made WR & withdraw $570. I like their game seems like a real game like a B&M casino. Dont like the 7 days wait for the money. I would like to know how you get on if you do make a 2K deposit

 

[Weedlayer]

ezc3m, I've been eyeballing Reef Club just like you. Reading those old threads made me hesitant also.

But I have a question of my own. Does Reef Club use exactly the same software as Casino-On-Net? The screenshots on RC's web page look like a different and/or older version.

hey,

for all those wondering about the INITIAL DEPOSIT bonus (ie: 200 dep 200 bonus) :

i did that and there was no prob, met the wr, cashed out 360, arrived almost exactly one week later in my neteller. their software is the SAME as casino on net. since then they offered me a 10$ bonus, which i wagered in bj and made it to 100$ and cashed out, that was fine also, arrived in my neteller in a week.

BUT, like i said, depositing 2000$! into reefclub for the HAPPY HOUR bonus makes me a lil antsy. i have 4,500$ cashout pending right now in CON. even though its taking awhile, i'm pretty certain my money is not a risk. but i'm not sure if the same will apply to reefclub.

btw, this shows EXACTLY WHY a casino should have a good reputation with their customers so they feel safe depositing a large amount. all you dishonourable rogue casinos take note next time you go out of business! :notworthy

 

[Simmo!]

Always good to hear positive things. But why does it take so long to get paid? 7 days to NETeller? That would totally put me off playing a casino to be honest. Most can (and should) do 24 hours or 48 max IMHO.

 

[555YY]

totally offtopic: but does anyone find the acronym for casino-on-net to be sorta ironic?

888? Not really

(Actually, whever i see CON i think of ConnectToCasino for some reason - not very good for the real CON!)

I have no experiences with reef club, but they are ecogra certified, so I supose that if you have any problem with them you can get gelp form ecogra.

good pt, maybe its worth it to go for the bonus despite 10,000 wr :machinegu

I don't suppose there's any chance that, if one is already banned from CON, that one is allowed to open an account at Reef Club? Don't think I ever played there.

Believe it or not, I haven't joined C.O.N yet, let alone Reef club!

But I was just reading their (very brief) bonus T&C's and can't see any mention of ANY games being excluded from Wagering Requirement!

Can anyone who has experience with either of these casino's confirm that it's OK to play ALL games for WR? (i.e. including Roulette & Craps?)

Thanks,
KK

On their website, it says:

Bonus Points accumulated via low-risk Roulette and Craps bets will not be eligible for any of our events and will not count as a wager for our bonus policy.

 

[Flavio4321]

Besides sharing software, is there any conection between CON and Reef Club? same owner?
Why is CON recomended by the meister and Reef isnt?

I believe that they are owned by the same parent company but under different management teams.

 

[Dirk Diggler]

They're owned by the same people, but Reefclub had a major incident when it first opened when it decided not to pay certain players who met the terms of the signup bonus - claiming the were bonus abusers (this is the 'history' I believe people are mentioning).

In the end they backed down (IIRC), but the harm it did to their reputation is still going on today. I hadn't even started playing online when it happened but I know not to trust them beacause of it all - it just goes to show what trying to screw players does to a casinos long term future.

Omni be warned.

Yes I saw that - but it says 'bonus points' which to me sounds more like a comp program than WR.
Also it only says 'low risk wagers' - I take that to mean betting both Black & Red etc..., so betting on say 18 separate numbers would be OK?

Anyone else know please?
Ta.

You miss the part of "will not count as wager towards our bonus policy"!
What more do you need?

 

[BakuPT]

I wouldnt have any problem making a larger deposit at any CON group casino.
Right now i have over 20K at PacificPoker and still can sleep at night.
Cashouts take longer then usually reputable operations do but thats how they work.

never had a problem with reef club or CON, but they just dont feel the same to me somehow :gunmen:

I need answers to my questions! (Sorry, but you haven't answered them)
Don't worry - I'll e-mail the casino & post the answers here later...!
Thanks anyway.

Any doubt at all, that is always the best thing to do!

 

[KasinoKing]

The C.O.N. reply was still not 100% specific, but I interpret it as saying you ARE allowed to play Roulette & Craps for WR!

However, their figures & maths in the first section is appaling, so can we trust the rest of the reply?

Thank you for your interest in Casino-on-Net, as always we are happy to be of assistance.

Mr.King, first when you sign up for an account and make an initial deposit we will macth it 100% up to $250. In turn we simply require that you wager the full bonus 20 times before you make a withdrawal. For example you may deposit $200 you will receive a $200 bonus which will then need to be wagered $2,000 before cashing out.

As you asserted, the low risk wagers are bets on both red and black at the same time or odd and even. In essence any wager or combination that will result in a win and a loss at the same time is considered a low risk wager which does not count towards the amount required to be wagered. We only exclude those types of wagers from our bonus policy.
You may play all games but we specifically request that you do not make low risk wagers on CRAPS and Roulette.

 

[Macgyver]

I'd agree with you, KK, especially on the math.

If you decide to take them up on their bonus offer, definitely keep that email in case they give you a problem with playing regular (read: not no-risk) bets on roulette or craps.

Jeez I don't know what if I bet on 16 and 32 on the roulette table and the ball landed on 16??? Then I won and lost at the same time????? That is ambiguous!
Or do they mean won and lost the same amount at the same time?
In that case I better not put $1 on 16 and $35 on 32!

 

[BakuPT]

I think only if you cover all the possible outcomes that no matter where the ball ends you win your bet back less the overall house edge. Anyone playing it normaly should not have any problem.

you guys totally hijacked my thread!!

Sorry! Mostly my fault I guess!

I will volunteer to be your lamb! But it will probably have to wait until January as I have loads of work (ie gambling) already this month, and am away from my PC for 2-weeks over Christmas!

Today, I received an e-mail form Reef Club.

-----------------
According to the User Agreement you have with us, in the event that we believe that if a user is abusing or attempting to abuse a bonus or other promotion, or is likely to benefit through abuse or lack of good faith from a gaming policy adopted by us, then we may in our sole discretion, deny any bonus or promotion, or rescind any policy in respect of that user, either temporarily or permanently.

This Email is to inform you that we have made a decision to deny you from obtaining any promotional bonuses from us in the future.

This decision is prompted by your account activity (mostly based on depositing repeatedly during promotional events in order to cash out casino bonuses with minimal risks), which is highly inconsistent with our philosophy of rewarding players who take risks and enjoy gambling.

In November, I opened an account at Reef Club, deposited $200, got $200 bonus and cashed-in $2,000.
Lat week, I deposited $1000, played BJ "without bonus", tried 10% method and cashed-in $3,078.
Can someone give me a clue why I was labeled as a bonus abuser ?
Their business tactics is far beyond my understanding....
So many strange things happen in the world of online casinos....

The answer is in bold; even though you didn't take a bonus the second time, you won too much.

Consider it a badge of honor; you took too much of their money, just like Crockford's and Stanley.

I think the short answer is inept management in many cases, especially bearing in mind the high cost of acquiring good non-bonus players.

One gets the impression that they see a couple of reasonable healthy wins like this and rush to shut down the account without considering the probable lifetime value of that player.

It's really weird.

Unless of course they think they have found something else in your background, real or imagined!

 

[Weedlayer]

Yoshimura, from what you posted, it doesn't sound like you did anything wrong to me. It sounds like your action was too strong for them though. I am glad that you beat them out of that much before they restricted you.

Yoshimura's story makes me less inclined to open an account at Reef Club.

On the other hand, at least they restricted Yoshimura from receiving bonuses in the future instead of taking away something that was already given.

thank you yoshi!! i was really debating on if i should deposit for their happy hour bonus, your post just helped me avoid making a possible stupid choice.

reefclub, if that's how you treat your customers, then no thank you!!!

 

[Yoshimura]

Thank you for comments.
One of my friends was also labeled as a bonus abuser on the same day.
I don't blame them but the casino manager should reconsider his business policy.
I won big by luck, but definitely I will lose money if I keep on playing at their casino.
Maybe they stopped me doing so, and I should say thanks to them.LOL
