Have you seen the T&C's to their offers, unbelieveable, I wonder how many players dont read the fine print and see the astronomical playthrough requirements.

If you're referring to the 70x (or even the 35x) wagering requirements, that's not the worst I've ever seen.

Not very good, I do agree, but not the worst.

Isn't it like 600x playthrough for MG bonuses if you play BJ?

70x is great compared to that

It still sucks, anything over 20x blows, as well I dont like BJ (that is black jack )

They offer 5 different BJ bonus codes up to 15.000 each this new year (geisha lounge). Uhmmm... thats a lot of bonuses. I think I remember seeing them on the accredited list, but they don't seem to be there. Are they safe?

I've actually played there a lot recently. You can eke out a small expected profit if you play the bonuses very aggressively. Again, not massively positive, just a little. I try to triple up my bankroll, before grinding out the ridiculously huge WR. At least with multiple coupons available at once, you have a decent chance of doing it.

Since their table limits are small on blackjack ($50 a hand), I usually only deposit that much, so the $15,000 doesn't really come into play.

It is 1500xB (ouch!) if you play classic BJ or all aces VP at most MG casinos.

hmm I noticed you are from the US and I thought this group was no US now?

 

[EasyRhino]

Well, I created the accounts a long time ago, but my first deposits of money were all post-ban. If you really want to play there and are from the US, I'd give it a shot. They have offers for little chumply freechips on new accounts.

It is worse than MG.

It's not just the astronomical WR, you have to end up with at least your original deposit and bonus before you can withdraw!


I was under the impression that Wager Junction would not be pulling these "Warren Cloud" style stunts again after a couple came out earlier in the Autumn ("Fall" to you lot "over the pond").

I now only play occasionally at King Solomons Pound Casino, and with suitably modest 100 for 80 coupons. This gives thge best chance to meet such terms with just a couple of decent slot hits. The "all games" coupon is in fact slots and a small number of the table games added. I had not realised they might have gone from the accredited list, I had better double check.

 

[EasyRhino]

I've gotten a continuous stream from Solomons, Geisha Lounge, and Gold Key (all Wager Junction) that have very cloud-esque bonus offers (very high WRs, ridiculous high max bonus amounts).

Both Geisha and Gold Key are the most consistent in their uncreative structure. Geisha is very reliable about offering about 10 slot coupons and 5 BJ/VP coupons per week. Gold Key is more likely to have slots-only coupons. Solomon's mixes it up, and often has fewer coupons, (and the "all games" coupon is more likely to be smaller %, and exclude blackjack and VP). Portofino (also in group) seemed to offer a more normal match bonus at the beginning of this month.

But, to give them their props, the bonuses are cashable (which is nice for an RTG), and I they've all paid me (although they dragged ass some over the holidays).

And as I posted previously, it is possible to turn these into +EV with some work, so if they keep sending them, I'll keep playing them.

Thanks for the tip rhino, I managed to turn my deposit into a decent cashout, and my money is home. T'was fun!

I can't claim the next new year coupon though, is this because I won on the first one?

 

[EasyRhino]

The last Solomons mailer I got had two coupons, set for the first, and one starting on the 5th I think.

... and don't blame me when you lose.

I got 5 from Geisha, and claimed one. Anyway, fired off an email to support.

OK. I will blame my ex then.

 

[vinylweatherman]

Modest.

These modest, even if numerous, coupons are what they should be sending out.

The silly 15K coupons of "Cloud" fame are what a reputable RTG casino need to avoid like the plague.

The earlier batch was apparently an "accident", so this seems that the group are becoming prone to marketing "accidents". With the negative feeling now growing towards RTG for disbanding Montanna Disputes and seemingly allowing licencees free reign to pull stunts, such a marketing move by a casino group that values it's reputation is VERY UNWISE.
Already there have been calls to punish the few reputable RTG outfits to force them to use their muscle on RTG to sort out the numerous cowboy operators.

 

[tencardcharlie]

I think I remember seeing them on the accredited list, but they don't seem to be there.

I'm an idiot who cannot read a simple list of casino links. They are indeed on the accredited list.

 

[EasyRhino]

VWM, the real irony of the bonuses with ridiculously high maximums is that they're for casinos that often have very low table maxes. Making it nearly impossible to play through the bonus in any reasonable amount of time.

And, for bonus-hustlers like me, effectively limiting the size of the bonus that can be attacked.

 

[siilix]

Good that someone is able to win from those coupons! I have been trying hard to make a cash out from those coupons in one of Wager Junction casinos, I have deposited many times and still it seems impossible to win something, my last session lasted something like 9 hours on a slot coupon (deposited $50 I got 150% match bonus), I did well till the wagering requirements were almost completed and than I busted just in the end. They gave me VIP level...I think because of my losing streak.
Please send me some good luck!!

Yep, I just tried doing Solomon's 50% "all games" coupon for the weekend. I decided to play caribbean hold'em, as there's lot of game restrictions. I decided to bet it all until my chipcount was 3.5 times what I started with, before I tried to really grind out the WR.

Instead, I lost it all on the first hand. That's the breaks. Now I can wait until next week's coupons!

I experimented with their slot coupons once, but I didn't like it, it just took too long to grind out the WR, it was painful.
