Hiya,
We do not use 2-stage offers (Free Time Offers) at Tropica. We tried it out when it launched 18 months ago and it did not work for our customers. (Maybe we were doing it wrong : ).
As for the verification deposit, it is required in order for us to know that the wallet account belongs to you. It is one of the steps of verifying you as a customer. We wish there was another way around the verification deposit as it costs us a processing fee for the deposit which is then withdrawn along with the winnings, costing us an additional processing fee. This stings, especially when players cash out on free chips only.
Regrettably, in today's world, we have to know who we are sending money to or we face losing our processing partners. Hopefully winning off a free chip will help customers feel better, despite the hurdle of making a deposit first.
Thank you Silencio for your views and to the previous posters for your support and positive feedback.
