So no judgements for anyones opinions on this thread I will even put my own opinions on it. But what are everythings feelngs on Casino Deposit Bonuses?
I think they are a huge rip off here is why and its basic mathematics...Not to single anyone out but I will use Casinomax as an example even though I play there occasionally. But just about all casinos have ridiculous playthrough amounts and I don't think that the playthrough amounts should include the initial deposit, I think they should only count the amount of money THEY contributed to the bonus not the money the player is depositing....
Say you deposit $75.00 and you use one of their deposit coupon bonuses just about all of their coupons are 40X and lets say its a 50% deposit bonus which most of them are (read terms and conditions of all coupons CAREFULLY and if a coupon does not have any terms and conditions link DONT USE IT. So now you have $110.50 to play with may look nice BUT your playthrough is your deposit PLUS the bonus they gave so its $110.50 x40 that means you have to play through $4,420.00. The majority of players are not going to hit that and 5 times out of ten once you use that coupon you are going to hit something just not enough to hit playthrough which means all that money stays in the casino.
Now if you only play with that $75.00 and you hit anything you can cash out at any time provided you win enough to cover the costs of the deposit you made, plus the fees associated with withdrawal whether it be courier or wire transfer......
To me its pretty simple. Use my own money ignore the ridiculous coupons and win or lose...
Thoughts?
