Easy to overlook the requirements we should all expect to find associated with these bonus offers.

Connie certainly had it right.

On the PROMOTIONS page
Under the heading -
"Reasonable bonus terms:" it says
For information on the cash out requirements for this promotion Click here.

Then, on Bonuses T & C page (in Large print too) it says ...
Special note for customers outside of the US and Canada:

Due to a higher incidence of fraud and bonus abuse, management reserves the right to double the wagering requirements for customers located outside of the US and Canada.

Nothing roguish about the response Bruno, hmmm?

Caught you off guard though and can appreciate how it might feel..

Well, i do see both sides here. he redeemed a bonus and found out in the cashier that he had to wager 40 times. He was then done and all his money was withdrawaable...
He waits and contacts livechat and then finds out that they have raised his wagering.
I do think that they did wrong here - they should have had it at 80 all the time so that he could have seen it from the beginning - not raise it when he is done with the 40....

 

[bsilva028]

good response yes

connie didnt did right
because if PLAYERS OUTSIDE US AND CANADA HAVE 80X WAGERING REQUIREMENTS, when we register the account we put our adress including the country, portugal in my case, so if the WR are higher they should put that when we redeem the coupon, not after, and if they are higher they shouldnt send an e-mail saying its 40 X but 80X no??
now what they do was send an e-mail with the conditions of 40X
that it was wrong, if was 80X, the e-mail should have that written

Well, at least the casino returned your balance to continue playing, not invoking some clause to deny your winnings.

The casino's clause states "reserves the right", which may be why the meter only shows the regular amount of bonus. If you attempted to withdraw immediately after completion of WR, and played in a manner to optimize your bonus, you might be considered to be one of those risky "bonus abusers" or "advantage hunters". Maybe there was a rash of bonus hunters from your country recently. Maybe if you played 40 or 50 percent more than you had to, and had dropped down quite a bit before withdrawing they would not have denied it, instead seeking to retain a player that showed the signs of the "recreational" (or reckless) gamblers casinos so love (I'm one of them from time to time).

Either way, it seems to be allowed in their terms, they have returned your funds to your account, not confiscated them. Play on, I hope you have an even bigger withdraw after meeting extended wagering!

And thanks for bringing this to our attention. Might just help the next non US or Canada player decide where to play.

check 2nd conversation with the support and check what they say ....

Just out of curiosity why did you bother filing a Pitch-A-Bitch on this if you are going to continue to post every little thing about it on the forums?

Your Pitch-A-Bitch and your current posting activity are not compatible, as you will know from the Pitch-A-Bitch FAQ that you said in your PAB form you had read and understood. To remind you this is the applicable section, in particular:

We reserve the right to discard any PAB where that same issue has been posted to the boards. This relates to threads started by, or contributions to other threads by, the person who filed the PAB. This applies equally to posts made before or after the PAB was filed.

I can only assume that you are no longer interested in the PAB process and as such I will now set yours aside, unless I hear otherwise from you including an explanation of why you chose not to follow the FAQ guidelines. No problem if you've changed your mind about the PAB but next time please let us know.

... i didnt know that i shouldnt post anymore here ....

Ok, but if you had read the Pitch-A-Bitch FAQ like you were told to, and like you said you had, then you would have known this.

Whatever, now you do know. I'll proceed with your PAB only if you comply with our terms of use. In other words please do what you have said you would do and "not post here one more thing" insofar as your PAB is concerned, at least until the PAB process has completed.
