Hi gang!
I have a "bonus" complaint! No, not really............ just remembering the good old days. Back when there
were no wagering reqs. and lists of rules.....
In 1999, I was new to on-line gaming and playing at Pogo.com. One of the little adverts was for
EnglishHarbour (Microgaming then) and I thought what the hell.... it's a free $20.00... can't be real anyway!
No wagering, that I knew of, no "send me your faxback or first born", just play and win. Which, I did that
day thru that weekend. On their $20 I played all weekend and cashed out for $925.00! Of course, me being
new to this "on-line" gambling, a little voice in the back of my mind was saying, "They are gonna send YOU
$925.00?? Ha! In my dreams!"" I just knew it was bogus! About 2 weeks went by and sure enough, I had a
check in the mail! My mind was racing! ""Hey, I could win LOTS of money! Just by playing at these places!
For free, no less!!"" I was in awe! I played a lot of "freebies" after that! Had so very much fun! And it was
fun, in the beginning, with the excitement of the chance of winning! Winning something for nothing, no less!
Now, I deposit quite frequently, and mostly avoid bonuses(take a freebie now and then) because they have
become such a pain in the azz!
My how things have changed!
My bonus complaint?? I want a bonus like the bonuses in 1999!!
