Worst Christmas calendars ever?

[Jasminebed]

Apologies if it's been said many times, many ways but I find an awful lot of the promos rely heavily on NetEnt slots.

32Red seems to have forgotten it's the holidays. There is a leaderboard. I'm a nearly every day player, and more than a tenner most days. The last two days have been 10% matches, I have taken 20% and 25% in past week, and the leaderboard has been running a bit. I'm not even on board for $10 bonus cash after many thousands of wagering, so this is not at all geared to low or mid rollers.

Videoslots at least doesn't exclude my country, but it's no easy feat for most of the special trophies, and I overslept my nap and was not able to get the necessary number of wins before running out of day. And if you miss a day, you don't even qualify for the draw.

I've completed the first couple of levels with Guts for a few free spins and a small cash bonus. No cashouts trying for them either.

Slotty Vegas sent me an email recently. The tourneys and races leave me out of things with NetEnt, but when I sent a reply saying they were rubbing salt in the wound about the loss of NetEnt, they did at least inform me that they would credit a bonus instead of NetEnt free spins on the deposit offer(s).

Made a deposit at Royal Panda tonight. Although there's a few NetEnt days, there are other offers on a daily basis, and I see all depositors will get some spins in their stockings for xmas. The CM raffles are a very nice promo, thank you Melvin.

I actually play fewer, not more casinos than I did a year ago. In my years here at CM, I don't think I've seen such a poor set of offerings in general.

Might be somewhat better for those still with NetEnt available to them.

The offers this year has really solidified my want to mainly stick to depositing in Videoslots,Panda and Rizk. The sparse rewards for the risk involved in depositing at most other casino's just solidifies my believe that profiteering is their only focus. Their marketing teams must be on great profit related bonuses.

BETSPIN - you wanna bet it is the best Christmas present?

Not to be missed my fellow CM'ers!

Geez, some are just taking the p*ss! In what form or shape can you call that a Christmas treat, present, surprise, reward? .... Run for the hills before that Christmas lunch gets stuck in your throat when you see the offer.

100% fair enough

D+B - FUCK RIGHT OFF

 

[spintee]

I seen it all now 35x D@B that is up there with some of the worst terms I seen, They should be struck off, I do not mind a high wager on bonus, Extra play and all that but you need a 5 reel desire or instant wild line on DOA to even come close to making the wager.

[TheAddict]

Same thoughts Jono.. took a few seconds to notice the arrow harry kindly added as im not awake yet. Mouth actually dropped wide open when noticing d+b, cant think of a xmas offer that has done more than just make my eyes go like arnie's in total recall.
You'd think it might be a mistake, if not for the fact most of the past week or two they are advertise the same offers as all year round with a christmas bow attached to them.
Still, maybe they can redeem themselves and suprise people with 25p worth of spins on spinions.

Casino Pop Christmas Gift

Nice email from Casino Pop rep today gifting £100 CASH with no wagering requirements or £60 plus 50 Superspins (No WR also) on Gonzos quest. Considering its one of my lesser visited casinos it is a nice surprise and will certainly factor in when I feel like doing a random large deposit which I do from time to time (Casumo or Guts normally gets first digs at those).

 

[Harry_BKK]

I think I just found the worst Christmas offer of 2016. This is an EveryMatrix site called Caribic Casino and they call the offer fittingly and very creatively:

Caribic Christmas

20% Bonus up to €888 + 100 Free Spins on SoC
Minimum Deposit: €50
Wagering: 45x Deposit + Bonus + FS Winnings

Let's assume the FS give you €20:

Depo 100 + Bonus 20 + FS winnings 20 = €140 * 45 = €6,300

If i take just the bonus amount of total €40 that is: WR 157.5x B

Having a jolly laugh right?!

calendars

Well every years its going more down Auch!
Guts for example 2-3 years ago there christmas calendars where insane Every day 5 or 10 spins which was awesome!
Now u have to wager tons of money for a bit of bonus money,
But to tell u the calendar i love the most is from lapalingo.com there is almost only free stuff inside, 5-10 spins lot of times and also much times 2.50 or 5 euro bonus!
even got 2 cashouts maded from the calendar there, rest is really crappy again!

 

[FavoPlayer]

Agreed completely.

Almost all casinos this year on Xmas calendars just asking everyday for deposit. Just few casinos offering daily free spins and no deposit bonuses.

Christmas became completely money making scheme.

IMHO, if your casino can't handle so much expenses on Xmas calendar by giving free spins or bonus, just make it on singe day on 25th of December. At least it will be more honest Xmas gift from your casino, but not asking everyday for deposit to give some free spins with WR. And some casinos even call this Xmas GIFT!

Can you imagine when someone on Christmas will give you a gift, but before he/she gonna ask you firstly for 20-30 (GBP, EUR, USD)?

Most of the Christmas Calendars are an embarrassment to the casino.

I think, I've got more respect for the casinos who didn't bother to do anything.

It gets even worse mate.

I asked today one of the casinos where i was most active in 2016 for a Christmas freebie bonus (i do that every year with the top5 i play at) only to be told that "complimentary bonuses are reserved for our top active players only"

I spent some 30K this year there with net losses appr. 10K and that was apparently not enough for a small Christmas gift....... well, fair enough, I will reserve my deposits for the top casinos only..... and there will be not a single penny more going to them ever again!!!

Unlike last year, I haven't heard anything as yet from the casino that I play most at. Very strange

I think I maybe able to make a very good guess where you are referring to mate (not asking you to name!)

If I'm correct there seems to be something not quite right in that they almost seem to have gone into hibernation. Disgusting way to treat a heavy depositor either way.

A cheeky $50 with 10-20X WR would have secured your business for a while longer IMO, cannot understand the thinking of late, no make that full stop!

As I mentioned in another thread a £50 voucher and maybe 20 ciggies (£10) would come at a tiny, if not totally unnoticed cost to any casino but would make me feel valued not to mention secure at least one £20 deposit a week for 2017 (£1040) - Excellent business sense is it not.

Did I just use the word 'sense' then

Exactly my thinking mate.... if 30K/year is not enough for a few bucks what the hell do casinos need nowadays. They got an average 600/week in deposits from me, how much more should it be FFS? Do they expect that we have endless funds to throw at them? A few years ago they would kiss my butt for 30K/year, now with the "established in the market" syndrome in full swing they basically tell me to get lost....

Well, no problem, i took off already.

And the amount / year shouldn't really be the issue. It is Christmas and if they got weekly a deposit from you the size should not matter, there should be some room for a small freebie no matter if you deposit on average 20, 200 or 2,000/week.

Came here to post this. I can't believe how bad they've been lately. It feels like every day is 20% or worse. You'd think they would throw in a couple of extra 50-100% days over the holiday period. :-/

call me cynical but they are probably waiting until Friday to offer theses bonuses when they know people cant withdraw the money out until the earliest next Wednesday because of the bank holidays, probably resulting in a number of reversals!

At Cherry Casino you had almost every Day 10 Freespins (but u must have made a min. Deposit of 5€ to qualify for 14 days) . One time cashed out 80€ and one time 50€ after the playthrough was done
