I has always been my opinion that it is fair for a caisno to put whatever retrictions they like on any free no-deposit bonuses they give me.
However, when Im risking my own funds I do not believe any max cashout is acceptable. By all means increase the WR, make the bonus sticky, limit the bonus amount.....but dont think Im going to be OK with you taking the winnings that I have paid for - bonuses are set up for the casino to win, so if I actually manage to beat it I should be paid in full. If too many people are doing it, then the WR is too low, which isnt the players fault.
Many casinos still offer no max cashout bonuses and have been thriving for many years because they can see the long term benefit. Many of these casinos may offer you less bonuses, but they are of much better quality and dont look like a blatant attempt to force you to lose.
I have to wonder with the sudden banning of players en masse at Rival just how well funded and managed these casinos are.....just this week 3 of my fav Rivals have bonus banned me out of the blue, with only one reversing the decision based on my loyalty (thankyou Linda from Royal Apollo
) , and from what Tradition casino has been saying it is because they were losing money. Well I received an interesting email from another Rival the other day revealing the following figures this month for slots payout:
Now, wouldnt the above stats be far more likely to be the cause of the casinos loss than some players taking the odd bonus here and there (like me and many others)?? If I were a new operator like Tradition, I would be a bit concerned with those % but in the long run they will ALL pay around 96% (so we are told) so the casino will WIN in the medium to long term.
It just seems too coincidental that the above stats come out at the same time that a huge round of bonus banning starts. Hmmmm....
Sorry if its a bit of a derail, but I think it is relevant to bonuses etc.
