Worst Christmas calendars ever?

[Harry_BKK]

I have a question. why is it called cashback when in fact you get a bonus back? And that exclamation mark was a bit over the top. Basically your offer is lose 100 - get 25 back WITH 35x wagering, and while that might look like a generous offer to you, well... its not.

i wish casinos would start using correct terms. Cash is not something you have to rollover 3, 30 or 335 times. thats a bonus, not cash so why on earth would you call that cashback ?

I shall use this feedback and inform our team to use the term: Bonus back, or something that sounds more attractive. Thanks a lot and I do agree, thats why we will adjust.

For a no-nonense cashback deal you can always join NoBonusCasino where we do not have any bonuses at all

If they wanted to make it 100% clear really it should say "refund 50% of your losses as a bonus with xxx times wagering" and then you would be fully informed, but at least they did make some effort.
It is industry wide though, one other trap that can be fallen into a lot of the time is that the "cashback" or "bonus back" is capped in the small print so i suppose actually "refund 50% of your losses as a bonus (maximum xx bonus) with xxx times wagering".
It's really not that hard to do but honestly i don't think in a lot of cases marketing departments aren't actually trying to be "cute" in my experience the majority aren't clever enough to be "cute".

Small print says: only losses on Fruit Shop CE, Flowers CE and SoC...min. 10$, max. 25$ --> 40x WR

Thanks, but NO thanks.

And like all trada bonusses ... they are sticky wagers.

Well, with pointless Christmas offers and calendars well and truly behind us and no hope of a shiny MINI soon to park in our driveway it is time for even WORSE New Year Deals!..

Here's the first one: Wager 1K for $25 worth of free spins = 2.5% of the wagered value or wager 10K for a massive $125 worth of level 10 Free Spins (that equals 1.25% of the wagered value).

I'll think you can guess the casino who has the "guts' to publish this promo

 

[Harry_BKK]

And another one - Gala....guess the percentage for the bonus???? hmmm....a whopping 25%

WR: 20x D+B equals a hugely "attractive 100xB"

Actually level 10 spins are worth 7,50 each. Its actually a good deal as it runs from 28.12 to 1.1.

I'll take a bet that they're meaning level 10 as in 10x minimum stake, rather than the preset amounts in the game. so it would be 2.50 a spin

I would double check before attempting the wagering

I don't really play with bonuses but I've NEVER received even a bonus offer from these guys. They like giving 10p spins for deposits though.

I had like one set of free spins there in about 6 months at 10p each that come with a wager. These deposit for 10p spins with a wager on rubbish machines is a joke to say the least. As soon as I was building up the achievement whell the free spins slowed than when in double figures they stooped altogether.

Even the big big streamers for them have just about gave up and now use other sites as wells. Only decent thing is that I got a 30 minute withdraw and games played ok. Bonus is non existence expect for the 10p spins rubbish and a couple of high value spins on Sunday for level up.

I got nothing personal against the site but offers bugger all

Last night was the first time i ever clicked unsubscribe from a casino emailing list, which was an email from casumo that feels like it comes 3 or 4 days a week for the past year that ive been joined there. Im not sure i ever even made a deposit, still didnt stop them txt'n me the same offer at 9am and waking me up though haha.
Read it and weep you unworthy mortals, 100free spins in sh**burst for a ten euro deposit today.
5 days ago it was 100 in fruitshop..2 days ago it was 100 in book of dead. Assume after that now after shitburst perhaps new years eve will be 1000 spins at 1line 1 coin on spinions..

Must unsubscribe from phone notifications later as well.. never get this many txts from anywhere else, with no disrespect to the casino you'd think after a year they wouldnt be quite so persistant.

 

[jjezebel37]

Vera John's were pretty shite this year. They were heavily tournament focused.

 

[The Viking]

i reckon i was one of the first one to sign up there did so within days of the opening
used to get about 2 match bonuses a month, usually 50% but still
but i cant recall getting even 1 this year
its all about the .10 cent free spins now,
i admit i do take them though if im going to deposit there anyway.

[The Viking]

i usually bust out in couple of min i two always play when my money runs out.

If your talking about V&J now than yes I signed up long time ago, Used to get plenty bonus, They had a revamp now and not able to extra coins exept the daily lg in, I gave up collecting long time ago but when there was offer you could sqeeze a few points from there.

Yes they do come with a wager, You can withdraw early there also

 

[The Viking]

we are talking about Casumo there bro im a member at V&J havent played there in ages though.

Worthwhile logging in every day and collecting those coins. I've had them up to 3000 before and easy enough to trade fir free cash.

 

[The Viking]

hehe figure i have a look had 21 coin and there was an offer for 5 fs on Gemix for 15 coins
5 dead spins

Casumo is one of the only places I normally leave the free spins till last, They do not mind this and they last like 30 or so days, Other sites I use instantly and class it as a bonus due to cannot be bothered with any hassle if not used spins,

I have seen a few sites mention in recent times that spins must be used before cash out, I think redbet is one, Alot of these so called free spins which are not exactly free are becoming the norm. Adding a few sneaking spins on a deposit or on top of a bonus and can come with server consequence for us players. RTG sites have done it for ever. Making you use the free spins b4 any other game will open.

 

[The Viking]

jep just making it a tad more difficult for us to clear the wager.
Slotsmagic and Drueck make you play the free spins first now as well, but at least they are wager free so i dont mind that.

spiderlegz got it right. Quickspin does not have coin sizes just bet levels. If you open The Wild Chase (the slot for the free spins) and go to bet level 10 it is indeed $7.50.

Hence, i have to apologize for not checking that first before making my post. Considering the new info the reward will be then $375 worth of free spins for wagering $10K or 3.75%. Since the winnings from FS are wager free the deal doesn't look too bad, i must admit.

Yeah, I know that Quickspin has 'preset' bet sizes.

But my point was.. Are the marketing people using that scale?

Is it the 10th bet value or are they saying it's 10x the minimum bet?
Because there have been promotions from casinos previously, where the marketing people haven't even looked at a particular game properly

That's why I suggested it was confirmed first

You are right there Brian.

i went onto LiveChat and he wasn't sure either but said:

I'm not 100% sure about this, but bet level 10 seems to be 7.5$ per spin, or 2.5$ per spin. But since it says bet level 10, and if you press the bet increase button 10 times you will reach 7.5, I think that is it
If you re-visit us in 6 hours I can check this for you with out bonus team

will check one more time later.

Also Just because it only shows bet value does not mean they cannot add a coin value there end or auto add a value, Saying that it does seem to be a trick email. As you may think its 10 bet = 7.50 but infact if the bet goes to £2.50 than I will gaurantee thats what it will be

 

[Harry_BKK]

Well, just been speaking to CS at Guts and i am still not 100% convinced that level 10 means $7.50 / spin as it took ages to get an answer....the promo team probably double checking themselves ......but the CS agent said they are, so lets assume he is right.

That would be near risk free gaming for the weekend. If you achieve a normal RTP of 96% when wagering the $10K you lost $400. For that you will get 50FS at a total value of $375 and the winnings from them are wager free! Sounds like a pretty good deal to me, if it is true!
