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.
Most of these misleading promotions tend to come from newer casinos and more unfortunately, is that sometimes even they scam you when you complete it. While a 30% cashback sounds so good, but it’s a red flag when something like that has wagering requirements.
It’s a bad deal to think that you are getting a deposit bonus only to find out that it’s actually not, but a cashback that only activates once your main balance is totally lost. This kind of tactics where they call it a deposit bonus in the email and then reveal more different and hidden terms in the terms, is a common way casinos try to get new deposits.
However, reading the ToS stays more important than ever these days. These types of bonuses can easily trip up players who expect 0 conditions. So, for the best you need to always double check the terms to avoid such surprises.
