I agree with you and I know that maximum gambling sites allow their user to withdraw their fund after 2x wagering. And also I was not aware about this type of requirement that they have to use 5x requirement of the first deposit requirement. I think it is too much. As I had not received/accepted any bonus offer why I have to make such wager like 5x!!
Generally casinos expect you to bet 1x or 2x before you make a withdrawal, so I agree that it is a bit excessive if they require you to bet 5x before making a withdrawal. Of course we are not referring to a specific casino, but usually this falls within the rules agreed upon beforehand when you create an account. One of the reasons I think is; The casino expects each of its new customers to play longer than the average for other casinos.
Yeah! This is definitely a marketing technique to keep the player in the game longer at a given casino. I agree, of course, that 5x is still a lot, but we should all take into account that many players, starting to play in an unknown casino, do not read the ToS at all, where these parameters for the deposit should be specified. However, I’m not sure that all casinos print such data clearly and clearly so that the player understands everything in advance. But it still has to be done in some way. Such a large coefficient of course irritates the player, the player becomes dissatisfied, swears and grumbles to himself, but is forced to continue playing.
This is actually what the casino itself needs. And this casino evaluates as marketing.
