wofacai bonus issue: Pontoon = Blackjack Game?

Only even learnt how to play BJ last year, to be precise (ex slot-junkie)- have had a few horrible sessions & still don't trust it....too many dealer 21's to my doubled 20's etc.

Well, the good news is that you can play at a pace that suits you. If you start a bad slide, logout and come back fresh later. There are several sites around (and I'm sure you know of them) that can guide you to a nice conservative game that will help you protect your bankroll from falling off the edge of the Earth. Boredom with the game can certainly cause you to take undue risks with doubling, etc. The game requires patience and self-control, so exercise those two things while grinding out the WR and you should come out with enough bankroll to give pontoon another shot.

Again, best of luck...

Some of you may have noticed that this weekend Inter has a bonus offer with the following t&c:
"The following games DO NOT count towards the wager requirement:
- All forms of Blackjack (including Super Fun 21)
..."

What about Pontoon? If you study Inter's list of allowed games you will see that Pontoon is allowed. So when Inter exclude "all forms of Blackjack (including Super Fun 21)" you are allowed to wager at Pontoon.

Many casinoes including wofacai could learn from Inter how to write clear t&c. If Inter want to exclude a game from wagering they make it clear to their costumers. You are not forced to guess.:thumbsup:

This is a problem that goes beyond this. While the argument here is that the player should have known that excluding all Blackjack games should be seen as excluding Pontoon, even if not mentioned, this other case shows that in the view of another casino, the opposite is true, Pontoon is NOT excluded under the "all Blackjack" type of term.
This means there is no standard that a player can be expected to follow, it is up to each operator to define their standards to the player, players can't read minds.
Naturally, the best solution would be for the whole industry to come up with a universal standard that ALL players will understand, as to which games fit into which general category. Then, a general exclusion term will have the same meaning whatever casino one sees it, and it would be up to the casino to state any specific exceptions to the standard.
The software could help also, if Pontoon was under a submenu whose other offerings were just the Blackjack variants, and it was called "Blackjack Games", it would be reasonable for the casino to argue that "all blackjacks" meant Pontoon as well.
A demonstration of this lack of standard are those casinos that claim 3 card poker is covered by an "all video poker" exclusion. Most of us will consider that a joke, but 3 card poker, played on a video screen, really IS a form of "video poker" in a sense, just as all the slots are "video slots".
The Cryptologic system avoids confusion, as players can double check the list of allowed games, which itemises each and every allowed game once an offer shows up in the player's personal promotions area, hence no need to contact CS, and no need to get caught out.
 
Not furthering the discussion, I know, but am I the only one who sees the irony in this

No offence taken, but I think it might be just you ... unless you are using the word "irony" in an Alanis Morrissette kind of way ... which, as we all know, isnt irony at all.

Seriously, no idea what you are referring to but do please share your amusement.
 
the ironing is delicious:thumbsup:
