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.
I like how you say "only x10 wager" yet this is an incredibly high amount and way more than you would usually find on big offers. What sort of sum of money are we talking about here? I am often put off these sort of promotions if they even mention 2x wager requirement and wouldn't dream of taking one that required x10. It is a way for casinos/sportbooks to get people to advertise "we match 300% up to $5,000" type offers when in reality they know that the player will lose all of their money long before they ever get to cash anything out and would be lucky to walk away with $10 from the offer. Always read the terms thoroughly and make sure you know what you have to do, sometimes it's better to just ignore such offers entirely.
