I don't usually take bonuses, but every once in a while I will take an initial bonus at a new (to me) casino to try them out. This ad for Slot Fever that came as an email intrigued me. The first line was of course large, bold and in color. The remainder was small and barely distinguishable from the background. Not unusual, but I skimmed the first two lines and decided 12x wasn't too bad - I didn't usually play the non-eligible games, anyway.
HEADLINE: "CLICK HERE FOR $500 Free Bonus"
TEXT (first two lines}: "Conditions: Bonus cannot be used on Pontoon, Baccarat, Craps, Multi-Player Poker, Bingo and Roulette until bonus requirements are met. Coupon YTU7D requires wagers of 12x "
I almost stopped right there, but I am glad I continued reading to the next line:
"deposit and bonus on Slots to cash out. Valid through May 4th "
Two points: 1) Although video pokers, blackjack, etc are not listed in the ineligble games, the next line says you must wager only on slots to meet the WR. 2) This came in my email on May 15, 11 days after the valid through date!
Is this a standard sort of bait and switch or are lots of casinos doing this? Do they hope you will deposit, try for the bonus, only to be told it's past the eligible date and have such weird withdrawal policies you end up playing up your deposit?
Anyone know much about SlotFever casino?
