Here is a newsletter containing an offer, seems clear to me at first glance, but is this a ploy to trick me into depositing more than I need to?
I deposited 400 - and was completely taken in by this ploy. The overwhelming number of references was misleading in the extreme, with THREE misleading "headlines" on the offer, and only ONE glimse at the truth.
To me, this was deliberate, and is a ploy some casinos are using knowing full well that there is an understanding of terminology in the industry, and using this to trick players into overdepositing based on a headline.
I read this as a simple 50% match up to 200 - as this is how it is presented in the three headlines - I deposited 400 on this simplistic assumption, and got "screwed over" by a psycological advertising ploy into "wasting 200".
I don't think this was an accident, as the offer is misdescribed (by omission) in THREE places, and only given the correct description in ONE, and not a headline, but the text.
This is certainly "bad form" for a casino to resort to such trickery, and offers should be described CLEARLY, and ESPECIALLY SO in the HEADLINE.
