Hi everyone,
I live in the UK, sometimes when signing up to a casino I like to make an account in USD. I always check the terms & conditions of the casino to make sure this is allowed. I signed up to Jackpots in a Flash casino with a USD account after reading these T&Cs:
"12. The Player acknowledges that in order to be eligible for any promotion or bonus they must be playing with the primary currency used in the country where they have a registered address and are playing from. The casino reserves the right to withhold bonuses and winnings resulting from deposits in any currency made in contradiction to this condition. An exception is made for USD and CAD to this clause."
They say there is an exception for USD and CAD, however after successfully claiming my sign-up bonus and wagering, I am told that I should have made an account in GBP.
I emailed them pointing out these T&Cs and this is their reply:
" This rule is based on gameplay and registration in countries where the primary currency is to listed in the casino software and thus USD or CAD is the only option. Australia would be a county that comes to mind.
I trust that this does assist you and make it clearer."
I think these T&Cs are very misleading. I know a lot of UK players like make accounts in USD and these T&Cs would appear to have allowed this.
Do I have a point here? The fact is their T&Cs say nothing about the exception only being for countries were the primary currency is not listed.
