Recently, I avail a special promotion sent to my email by a casino that I will not mention the name.
They offer me a 30% bonus on my deposit and the only requirements is just x10 wager so I become interested to deposit. As the game progress I notice that my wager doesn’t count towards my bonus so I ask for the support about the error. They point out to me that the bonus will just take effect if my main balance will lose first.
So this bonus categorized as cashback not a deposit bonus and worst it has wagering requirements. It’s my fault to not read the bonus ToS first but the email is clearly a deposit bonus.
Just be aware and always read the ToS, casino nowadays are using this method to encourage user to deposit thinking that it will be just a regular deposit bonus. Always read the fine print.
Thanks for sharing your experience! This is a great reminder of how important it is to always check the terms and conditions when it comes to promotions. It’s frustrating when casinos make their offers sound more appealing than they actually are. I’ve seen similar promotions where they promote it as a “bonus” only for it to be some form of cashback with strings attached, like wagering requirements.
The part about using the bonus only after the main balance is depleted is something that can easily catch people off guard. These hidden issues can turn what appears to be a positive experience into a serious problem. It is a lesson for all of us to always read good publications, no matter how misleading the announcements may seem. Casino marketing is very clever. And it's easy to overlook the details when you're happy with a bonus. Thanks again for the heads up. Hopefully more players will take care before diving into these plans!
So it can be concluded that this is an indirect fraud, if it does not match what they write and practice, maybe this can be used as a reference if someone says that cashback deposits must be a little careful and avoid casinos like this.
I completely agree with you about being wary of these types of promotions. If the words do not match the advertisement It definitely feels like indirect fraud. It's one thing if a player doesn't read a word correctly. But if the trade is intended to mislead That thing will be even hotter.
It's not a bonus anymore. It's about trust between the player and casino. And I really began to avoid playing in casinos using this kind of strategy because one can't help but feel that there are indeed some things with bigger problems hidden away, either in fairness or transparency issues. These "bonuses" are really that tough. Talking about them just lets it get out there, and they could, then avoid those pitfalls more. Casinos with dubious practices should be called out so players can look out for themselves.
