Your Input Please tightest xmas gift from a casino you got and best you got

[lotusch]

Best: Guts - €100.00 with 1x WR,made it up to €250.00 but decided to continue playing and blew it all.
But this was by far the best Xmas pressie I got.

Worst: Redbet - €30.00 but with a whopping 40x WR,shame on you guys as I lost a couple of thousand on League of Fortunes in some crazy bad runs last summer...Got to €300.00 ish balance with my bonus but from there it went all downhill and missed WR by about €120.00.

Fail of the Year: Quasargaming - Amount unknown as I am blocked from logging in because they still think I am a UK resident.
But from last years I think it was €100.00 or even €200.00 but as always with a ridiculous 50x WR attached,so nearly impossible to make a withdrawal.

But not to worry,I had a great 2 days and cashed out around €1100.00 at Unibet and Sky Vegas thanks to WMS games,who else. ^^

I never get any x-mas chips or bonuses. Even though i spend ALOT of money. Not even at my fav casinos. I did ask vera&john for a x-mas chip and they gave me 5€!

igame Robin and Casinoluck Erik has been nice to me the whole year though, worth to mention.

I see a lot of you---mostly from Europe---mention "free spins" as a Christmas Gift/bonus.

In Europe do they require you to play off the winnings from these "free spins" at multiples X the winnings?

From the RTG casinos in the US they have given a 'few' free spins---I got 5 on Wild Wizards and had to play the winnings from those spins times the playthrough requirements for the deposit that needed to be made in order to get the 'free spins'.

I think I 'won' $6.00 in the free spins and that increased my playthrough by $120.00 before I could cash out, which I wasn't able to do.

That didn't seem like much of a 'gift' to me.

Thats the problem, Most of them are NOT free and near all carry some kind of wager

That has been an irritation with me for some time, Spintree! The 'free spins' are a real bad comeon. They not only are very poor winners in the first place, but whatever and if you happen to win on one it INCREASES your playthrough and so costs you at least the amount of your playthrough. For instance---the $6.00 win I mentioned, cost me $120.00. They are VERY EXPENSIVE and deceiving "offers".

I really object to them being tied into a regular bonus, where you have to take them to get the "bonus".

And to tie them in with "Christmas Bonuses" is atrocious!
And by the way---did anyone receive a free deposit for Christmas? I did, but it was
double the usual playthrough, because it was "free" money!----FREE?

Ultimate conclusion---the casinos give NOTHING away for FREE, not even for Christmas!

Have settled at 4 online casinos now (32red, GUTS, royal panda and now Betat) and all have been good to me so far for xmas promotions :-

32red - Received $10 Red Letter Day last week. There x-mas promo wasn't that crash hot compared to other sites but for this freebie $10 alone I'd consider that quite generous.

GUTS - Had 100 spins in my stocking and it was a blast to go through them even though I didn't win much - it was still free chips ! I am hoping they do something like this again, maybe shorter like a week for chinese new year.

Royal Panda - Was pretty good once you get around their bonus WR system they had free spins on certain days and other random challenges, not as generous as GUTS but pretty decent overall and still ongoing till end of year.

Betat - I just started playing here just 1-2 days ago after seeing how much they are praised on this forum so kinda sucks I missed out on the majority of their x-mas promotions because it looked really really good (maybe as good or even better than GUTS). I really like how the bonus is not tied into your real money and the interface is really sleek and INTUITIVE (love seeing how much WR is left to clear in almost real time). Whats won me over though is although I have only been playing here 1-2 days I got some 100 free spins from the welcome package and an additional 50 free spins from some xmas raffle. Unfortunately went bust on all of them + deposits but the experience was really positive and I will now add this place to favourite places to play.

Spin Palace - OK I quit playing here maybe 2 month ago but I keep receiving calls from them maybe once every few days this december and it annoys the crap out of me. I'm not even interested in coming back now that I have seen the light from other much better places and they are going about it the wrong way by trying to pitch to me some stupid 100%+ bonus. Its always the same script they read too, its so blantantly obvious. When you can predict what they are going to say when you've heard it at least 3 times in a space of 1-2 weeks you know someone just wrote it up and they are just reading it off.

"We are activating some 150% bonus in your account right now"
"Do you like to win? May I suggest some games for you to play"
"The jackpot hasn't gone off yet! Are you the one to win it?"
"Come try the new Game of Thrones slot! A player just won $3000 last night from it!"
"What would you do if you won $3000!"

etc etc.

I've told them I wasn't interested at all and then they have started to ring me up from a 'private number'. Last straw was when they called me up last night at about 8pm from a private number (its a public holiday here) to say the same crap over and over again and they wont even let me get a word in inbetween their lame pitch. Just so annoying and wreaks of desperation.

Other than that pretty satisfied all up with the bonuses and free spins I have received this december period from those 4 places I play!

Well considering I hadn't really been playing much last year I think I got treated pretty well. The casinos that were getting most of my deposits the last 6 months all took care of me, and I also got tons of deposit offers (that I don't use anyhow) and even a few small freebies from places I have only played once. The only advent calendar I played was the Guts one, but I couldn't really deposit every day so I ended up only with about $7 in winnings on Christmas day.

TBH most of the casinos I play take care of me throughout the year anyhow - anything extra I get at Christmas is just gravy.

Every casino/group I play at gave me something in terms of free chips and or spins with the exception of 3 dice.

I *think* that 3Dice usually does a New Years thing instead of Christmas, so you might still be getting a lil something.

You are not the only one, I didn't get anything from 3dice either. So we will see what the New Year brings...
