I received a welcome back offer from an accredited casino, of a 200% match, 25x D+B.

I like the extended playtime bonuses give, but this bonus is for play only, and the bonus amount will be deducted upon cashout.

Now, I think that bonuses that leave me about the same chance of winning as playing without one are more than fair, and I will take a bonus that leaves me a LITTLE worse off in exchange for the extended bankroll. If a bonus leaves me a little better off, I will try to deposit the max for it if I can afford to.

Slots only, max bet is $6, and the platform is playtech.
 
Personally i'd take a 200% anyday, if i want playtime that is.
I don't mind the bonus being deducted, after playthrough, as i only take it to play as long as i can in the hopes of a good streak
or huge hit: if either happens i will most likely make playthrough and the deduction doesn't make an impact mostly.

If you would like to see a different offer, you could contact their V.I.P.-department or Manager and see if they can give you
something more suitable to your taste? They did invite you back after all, so they must value you as a customer.
:p

Edit:
I see weesie asked an important question, if there was a max cash out with this one, i wouldn't take it, unless it's at least 1000,-
 
And also since it's playtech are there game restrictions? If it's one of those ones where you can't play anything that has a dollar ball attached, it might suck the fun out of it. ;)
 
No max cashout, and yes there are game restrictions on jackpot games. BUT you can play the marvel ones, and the bonus is slots only. The max bonus is $300, so $150 would be possible to deposit, and I have a while to take them up on it, it's for my next deposit.

I asked specifically about the Dollarball games, and chat told me no, but I've seen this casino and it's terms discussed before, and I read the general promotional terms and they talk about not activating the Dollarball, not that the slot can't be played without it. I will probably just skip them to be on the safe side, A Night OUt s the only one I really really like. There are enough slots I like that don't have a jackpot I will be happy.

Offer came by snail mail, and I did receive a NDB too which I have played and lost already.

I`d take it in no time. In fact I received a welcome back offer on Friday, from Fly Casino.
Don`t know whether they or Omni are the ones you are writing about, probably not ;)
Mine was 300 %, and unfortunately no Marvel slots.

I don`t mind bonus not being cashable, as long as there is no max WD.

If you afford the 150 than yes I would take bonus, Please member that alot of them you cannot activate the dollor ball either, I have seen some people, Unsure if you can still play them without activates, Im also guessing its omni or fly, Hopefully you get some good streaks in

OOPS sorry should not of been a reply to miiisooo
 
If you are willing to deposit $150 to maximize the offer, you may as well claim a 100% offer elsewhere which is cashable.

I have never been a fan of Phantom Bonuses. The wagering is 25 x (D+B) and IMPO is a lose lose situation all round. Non Cashable Bonus, High Wagering, Slot Restrictions... Casinos know how to make money :)

Correct me if wrong..........150 + 300 Bonus and after the WR is met the bonus will be deducted from any requested cashout !?

Sure you are extending playtime but here's where I don't like this........say you have 300$ after clearing the WR......you can't call that profit as none of it can be cashed out.....you'd be chasing at least 450 (preferably more) after WR..............in a way it's like an additional personal WR ;)

Why not look at any other playtech offer with 50-100% regular bonus....?
 
take it boom or bust with playtech anyway , worth a bash just hit great blue irish luck & the novo clones , if you hit a good run balance at the end wont be a problem good luck with the quest .
 
I personally think D+B x25 and Phantom is tantamount to daylight robbery! :mad:

I would only take it with the expectation that I WOULD lose my deposit and with the knowledge that maybe 1 time out of 100 I might just get lucky enough to make a cash-out. These types of bonus really only give you one thing - more play-time for your money.

I'd take it if only it was cashable. I don't like phantom bonuses either. Also with no game restrictions. 25x d+b is not too bad I guess. As someone else posted with Playtech you either boom or bust. I am guessing this offer must be Fly Casino or Omni maybe. For me Playtech is hard to build up a balance and keep it for any length of time. Probably is why I don't play the software much:)
 
Thanks all for your input.

I've been missing Playtech since ClubGold switched over. My gut told me it probably wasn't a very good offer in most ways.

I am sure I will probably take it anyway, but for a smaller amount than the max, when buying that "entertainment" is worth losing the deposit. I feel that way about $30 or $50, not so much $150. I can do some pretty entertaining things with $150 :D.

PS. Some good guessers here at the forum.
 
whatever you do, dont be silly and make tiny spins

do 4-5 dollar spins on great blue, or 80-100th of your bankroll
 
It's not a good offer! If I would have taken it I would have used it all on Great Blue/Penguin Vacation playing 11 lines and just below 6$/spin and hope for a big win. :D
 
25x D+B is pretty high. I'd have a good think about doing it at that level. If it was 20x D+B then I'd take it. Though given the bonus is phantom and is withdrawn when a withdrawal is made then I would not take this up. If you finish WR under 450 (or whatever your deposit and bonus is) then you'd end up either having to take a loss or chasing the win. There's better ones out there I'm sure.

But I guess it is up to what you want out of it. It would give you the playtime you want without doubt. Just don't bank on getting anything out.
 
Jas, do try those Ash Gaming titles such as the Glass Slipper and especially The Fairest of them All if those are available, if not, i'd chuck in a 100 odd spins on 0.45 ct on Silent Samurai, if you get lucky on the Free Spin picks.. it can pay pretty big:)

Perfect to boost the bankroll and fairly cheap.
 
if you go for say 50...you'll have 150 with a WR of 3750....try the 1-1.25 spins on great blue.....

I have until the end of July to do this, I think something along those lines meets my goal for the session.

One of the nice things for a promo like this when my bankroll is not large, is that it's available on a friday night when other casinos might not have a great offer.

I played a long time with ClubGold with offers that weren't that good either, but usually the pot was sweetened a little with free chips after your deposit or weekend cashback. I do really enjoy the Playtech games, and a couple of tech issues have limited my choices where to play.

Good offer or bad offer, I think it appeals enough to me. I won't max it out, that's a couple of other $50 deposits elsewhere.

But as a welcome back offer from a casino I deposited a few times in the past, well, I guess I'm gonna take it. I tried signing up with another accredited Playtech (Betfred) a couple of weeks ago, and despite Canada being drop-down list and CAD as a supported currency, they did not take players from Canada. I will admit at times I skim general terms, and my search for Canada did not pick up Canadians. I had read the bonus terms, they did not exclude Canadians.

I logged in to ask about bonuses at the casino that sent me snail mail, and did kind of say not attractive enough for that evening. They did tell me different bonuses at different times. So probably not a bad customer to send a welcome back to to.

There are good guessers here, and it is Omni. I have every confidence in them, I've made a few deposits. I played hours in free mode with games I haven't had a chance to play before. I've busted out play mode a bunch of times already with that bankroll, although there were a couple of occasions where a little more modest bets would have got me a cashout.

Support was good through playing the freechip, answering the questions about the bonus (although I'm not sure they were spot on about the Dollarball question, I will just ere on the side of caution there). I was never particularly unhappy with Omni, I just liked ClubGold better, and I had better experience with the download client.

I played hours in Freeplay at Omni yesterday, there are a lot of games I had not played before. I know I made a deposit a few months ago to play Marilyn after the screenies. She still has given me freespins. Some of my favourite games were still jerkier with Omni though, maybe it's the larger portfolio of games?

I have the highest regard for Bet365, but a tech issue stymied me and their team, and honestly, how hard to you want to work to give a Casino your money?

I gave a whole bunch to a garden centre and a cheese factory and the beer store, so not this week! Or probably next, only so many deposits for me!

But a very nice thing about this offer (and if you are sending things out by snail mail, you want people to come in) was there was a generous time limit.

I've had offers come a week after they were valid until. Tiered bonuses you had to deposit three times in 24 hours.

While Omni's welcome back offer may not be EV plus (or the win/win I think is ideal, EV-, but a little less EV-), in combination with other factors, it will get yet another deposit from me.

I appreciate all those who chimed in on this for me.

Jazzy,

It really depends on what your normal bet size is. If you use the 200% bonus to treble the size of your normal bets in exchange for a good shot at handsome returns its more than worth it. However, that would also mean the playtime is not extended. So its a toss between extended playtime or a shot at huge returns.
 
tbh i would not take this offer (even though i have taken it twice in last month) from omni's sister casino fly for 300%)

Reasons: the wr looks simple enough but really hard to beat

Also if i had known they had sent these emails to so many people i wouldn't have taken this because i have been playing at omni for 3 or more years and not once before did they or fly send me a promo other than weekly promo even though i am a vip player at omni. I know people would say im being suspicious but when a casino starts sending promos like this, to me it shows they might be having some troubles and in urgent need of some cash flow

I have had the worst RTP at fly and after plenty of deposits with huge bonuses i have not managed to beat the WR once and mostly i only get 2x-3x the starting amount and if lucky 5x-10x as the games go pretty cold.(i dont blow balances on bets of more than 5 quid, i play b/w 50p-1quid and my balance lasts me literally 5 mins of playtime

But i know PT slots can be brutal most of the time but when they pay they can also pay 2000-3000x easily(once in a lifetime though)

If u want to have a great long session though, deposit max and bet absolute min and pray somehow u can beat PT slots
