Over the last couple of weeks I've been visiting all the casinos on my site re-checking all the S.U.B. T&C's (so you don't have to ) which is incredibly tedious, boring & dull...
But my grueling task was lightened somewhat by these gems I found:-
(Not sure when they changed, but in the last 6-months)
Sands & Omni:
Was: Deposit $100, get $100 bonus. WR Bx30 or Bx60 if BJ etc. played.
Now: No specific deposit, wager $8,000 (double for BJ) & get $100...
This = WR Bx80 or Bx160 if BJ etc. played.
Mini Vegas Group. e.g. Grand Hotel:
Was: 100% to $100. WR (Dx1)+(Bx5), but bank must be > D+B+B to withdraw.
So on a $100 deposit players only had to wager $600, but get bank above $300 to cash in. This is not easy!
Now: 100% to $100. WR (Dx1)+(Bx50), but bank must be > D+B+B+B to withdraw.
So on a $100 deposit players have to wager $5,100 & get bank above $400 to cash in...
That wagering is 8.5 times more than before, and makes it one of the worst deals I've ever seen!
DaVinchi's Gold:
The following do not count towards WR: Roulette, Blackjack, Baccarat, Single Videopoker, Videopoker, Craps.
The following games (and all variants) count partially for your wagering requirements: Sicbo (1/3) RedDog (1/3) Keno (1/3) PaiGow (1/3) Slots (1/3) ThreeCard (1/3) LetItRide (1/3) DoubleUp (1/3) CaribStud (1/3) BonusRound (1/3) ScratchCard (1/3)
Firstly, what the hell are 'DoubleUp' & 'BonusRound'?
Secondly, what games are actually left which count at 100%...
well, I can only see two: War & Sudoku - but I guess Sudoku is classed as a slot...?
So the only game which counts 100% in wagering is War - a game with a house edge of 2.06-2.34% = much lower than Roulette, Keno, Slots, Red Dog, etc, etc...
Nice to have a good laugh when you're working
On a much more serious note:-
Intercasino have from this month increased the monthly WR's as follows:-
Most games, excluding BJ & '21' games: From Bx18 to Bx25
Most games, including BJ & '21' games: From Bx30 to Bx50!
I'm just glad I'm not a 'blackjack player'...
