It's ~20% bonus. I've seen worse in fact.

Agree Hedge.

Current deposit promo at RV - deposit 500, get 50 = 10% However, they have an additional promo running: deposit 80 get 20FS on Bridesmaids @ 1.20/spin or 60FS @ 0.40/spin. Overall, it is >30%.

I said these a few times in the past, on average a casino to be profitable long term has to stay below a 25% deposit/bonus ratio. Promotions and bonuses only work out if they keep to that.

Yikes! Though only x30 WR the 10% bonuses of RV (or Fortune Lounge casinos in general) are utter useless. I'm glad I don't get these kind of offers anymore. The free spins are useful however and you can "tailor" your offer in the live-chat a little bit. So if you are intending to deposit a little bit more than you are offered you can negotiate a pretty neat offer sometimes. As you underlined it usually ends up being round about 20% in value which I'm fine with, especially at FL where they have still the x30 WR in place.

VPL has become somewhat tight with their promotions. They are basically giving away "unlimited" 20% bonuses but with x40 WR I don't consider this paltry bonus a "good" offer, however also not "worse promos ever". It's sensible to increase your playtime somewhat and x40 WR is still above average over all and about average across the Microgaming casinos.

Thought I'd quickly mention a promo in here which looked great on the 'cover' but was bloody hard work once I 'opened the book'

Mr Green (Great site btw) sent me 'Deposit £20, get 125 FS' which could be used across about 5 different games, including the Mr Green exclusives as well as Neon Staxx, Sparks and Starburst.

Good offer I thought dipping in, lost my original deposit and next day my 125 FS were there waiting

Total return was roughly £26, so I thought 26x 35 = Approx £910 WR.

Turned out I had to wager around £2,300 IIRC

Like climbing Everest, naked, blindfolded and with one leg around my neck I thought!!

However.....

This lead to one of my most enjoyable session(s) ever, which lasted over 4 DAYS!!

Nothing majorly huge but plenty on features on above minimum bets (which is a nice change for me)

Cleared WR with £256 and banked £200

Thought I'd mention in 'Worst Promos' whilst although it is a decent offer unless Lady Luck and patience is with you it can be a hell of a struggle!!

 

[spintee]

This is not the worst promo I have received but thought I share some stupidness,

Hi Terry,

We also got a cheeky little treat lined up for you...

Come back and get a Match Bonus plus 5 Free Spins!
Just head to the cashier, make your deposit using code LKY21 and we'll top you up with a 5 Free Spins plus 75% Slots Bonus, up to £25.

Hurry, this bonus is only valid for 48 hours!

When has a match bonus ever been 75%? I thought match was the same? But than it goes on,

Maximum convertible from the free spins is £5

Capping free spins to £5, Alot would not bother looking at the terms, Especially new players so why didn't they just put 50 free spins to make it look good?

@JonM How comes you had that big wager ? Did they put wager on the original deposit? I noticed a small print at BGO when they had some free spins stating that free spins has a wager of win amount and deposit? I wonder if sites are doing the free spins now so you can't even take them after you busted out? So you have to get the free spins wiped off other wise the deposit also comes with a wager attached?

Saying that I just had an email of BGO with a huge 200% bonus but min depo is £25, I just got in from a small job and got to do garden but I might have a beer later and take the offer,

Yeah 10% is pretty useless but i am sure they will have 30% or 50% for the weekend.

RV is anyway somewhat different for me. If I lose a few deposits i just send a short sms to my host and within a few minutes he credits me a substantial amount of comps, no questions asked. The 30× WR is still among the lowest.

Not sure mate ??? - If what you reckon could be the case then : -

£20 deposit x 35 = £700 WR
£26 FS Winnings x 35 = £910 WR

Total £1,610, however my original WR showed around £2,300

I'm convinced it was some sort of 'glitch' in their system ?? - Felt proud I 'conquered' it tho lol, was ready to PM Andy when balance was heading for a bust but that beauty on JP saved the day!

Ps: Looks like BGO have BB'ed me n missues since 'management changeover' - Daily emails and offers vanished and missues was told straight last Wednesday on her B'day 'No more bonuses of any description for you!'

Yes I could not calculate the wager you had, I know that they used to have the carry over untill you deposit but maybe they was a hicth and did not clear,

I heard about the ban for you, Terrible really, I wonder if the main reason as there was two of you signed up? It should not matter as if in the same house or street or country does it really matter? Bonus is in the favour of casino anyway, Most only take for extra play and a chance, I have not been banned as of yet from any where, Banned from a few sites lol but thats only as I spoke out, Lets hope I get one on top of hilton as I did make the deposit for the 200%

I have seen alot of casino changing ways recently and not good, They will come a cropper believe me, Just like the bingo stars changing the £10 match to £20 depo for 10 free, I believe they got alot of players and money of that, I myself do not mind losing a £10 if getting 10 free and always a chance of a hit,

Casinoroom had a nice offer yesterday deposit for 50 spins on gonzo and could depo 10, Did not last 5 minutes but offers like that are good and no doubt make casino lot of cash, I would prefer a few thousand players at small amounts than a few dozen putting in a few grand a day and win big, as if they hit big betting big than a big payout for casino, At least if small rolling your not going to bother take out small amount,

Big rollers could put in 20k in one site and lose and go to a next site and put in 1k and win 40k to them its not much as only double there money but its big money, This will take a strain on most casino if a few big rollers done this in a day, I know its swings and round abouts but it only takes a bad day for one casino to take the masive loss as remeber we are told all slots run from same servers so does not matter where play,

The reason you had 2300 wagering is Mr green annoyingly carry incomplete wagering forward to the next lot of wagering. Jpot city and golden nugget used to do the same thing. Therefore if you had successfully finished said wagering in the last session your wager would have been 910 as you stated it should have been.I detest this term with a passion. IMHO when you bust the slate should be cleaned.

You made me rattle a few brain cells there and your right, There was a thread the other day about it,

As I pointed out nothing goes in our favour,

 

[SpinUk]

Mr green do have this glitch on holding over wagering after a bustout but a quick word with chat will also correct this (without exception) to the correct wagering for the bonus.

Bingo Diamond- Make a deposit during the week, which is a minimum of £10 and get free spins on Rabbit in the Hat on Thursdays.
So that is 5 free spins at 0.09, so a 0.45 bonus and the bonus winnings require a 30x turnover.

This is worse than getting Starburst free spins!

I think I may have played here a few times in the past, god knows how I qualified for the free spins.

These bonus terms for Skrill below also put me off.

10.18 As a result of bonus abuse, deposits made using Neteller and Skrill may be subject to a turnover requirement of 30 times the actual deposit required to qualify to receive the bonus for all promotions. We reserve the right to recharge all banking fees on deposits, which are not turned over at this level. All other payment methods fall into the turnover requirements as specified in the rest of the terms and conditions of this promotional offer.
10.19 Withdrawals requested by e-wallets such as Neteller or Skrill may be subject to a longer processing period of up to seven business days. This is due to additional screening and security measures in place relating to those payment methods.

Which translates to-Thou shalt not win from a bonus and if you do we will make life as difficult as possible for you to get your winnings, amen!

Can only win x4 of the bonus amount? Disgraceful cap on winnings that. I could understand if it was a non-deposit bonus but it's not.

Disgusting terms, I can see why they do it but x4 is an outrage and like you said its a deposit bonus and not like free cash

Not to forget the WR of 30x D+B

300% - depo 10, bonus 30 = 40 x 30 = 1200 ----> WR 40xB
100% - depo 10, bonus 10 = 20 x 30 = 600 ----> WR 60xB
50% - depo 10, bonus 5 = 15 x 30 = 450 ----> WR 90xB

No but no, thanks

1 / 1 gazillion players to make it to a withdrawal

Totally agree with you guys. A cap on winnings from a NDB I totally understand. Capping winnings from a deposit bonus is just insanely bad for the player. Please never ever give places like this your money.

Of course I understand why winnings from some really crazy RTG and Rival bonuses are capped. But those bonuses are like deposit $25 get $10,000 (max cashout $100 or something). That's different. A straight deposit match or welcome bonus and no, you should get to keep what you win if you manage to cash out. The whole point of slots is you can win thousands of times what you are betting if you are lucky.

50% - depo 10, bonus 5 = 15 x 30 = 450 ----> WR 90xB

No but no, thanks

Just to add one more calculation to show the uselessness of this offer:

300% match, depo 10, bonus 30 = 1200WR

- average bet 0.40
- average speed for slots - 700 spins / hour
- wagered / hour = 280
- total time needed = 1200 / 280 = 4.5hrs
- max. withdrawal = 120
- average earnings / hour toiling away on WR = 120 / 4.5 = 27 if you are damn' lucky

Far worse for the 50% offer:

50% match, depo 10, bonus 5 = 450WR

- average bet 0.20
- average speed for slots - 700 spins / hour
- wagered / hour = 140
- total time needed = 450 / 140 = 3.5hrs
- max. withdrawal = 20
- average earnings / hour toiling away on WR = 20 / 3.5 = 6 if you are damn' lucky


But expected as it is part of the Nektan Group.....STAY AWAY can be the only advice!!!

 

[crikeym8]

I find their bonuses quite generous really. Slotsmagic have a monthly 100% reload, plus 125% vip reload, plus a 50% monthly reload and that's on top of all their daily promos. Dunno, maybe they require higher playthrough depending on region of players. Wouldn't surprize me.

 

[spintee]

This is more one of the worst I have seen, Acekingdon

Deposit £5 for a £2 bonus lol, wger 20x D&B £140 wager on a £5 depo and 2 squid bonus Ha Ha Ha LOYAL PLAYER

Feck me when you scrapping for a £2 bonus must be hard times lol

It's the 'Amazing Surprise' bit that made me laugh, who dreams these BS offers up!

When you do these challenges usually you get a random reward of like $1-1000 or something, or a ticket to a freeroll or shootout. Not always apparently....

That seriously sucks! I'm playing more at Betfred poker right now than stars. Great incentives,loyalty programme better software now and smoother to run never any disconnections.

Not sure this is the best place to put this. Was bored enough to look through my spam emails and found this pretty tough proposition from Exclusive Casino which put a small smile on my face.
The correct rules with improved spelling can be found at the bottom of the email though.
