The first model is way too easy to abuse, which makes casinos using it look highly suspicious.
They start seeing abusers everywhere - even though they’re the ones creating the conditions that attract them in the first place.
Honestly, it would be much better if they just introduced a fixed withdrawal fee!
It's not too easy to abuse with the right rules. Many casinos have a minimum withdrawal amount limit, which means that you can't withdraw any amount at any time for free and I believe that this rule is fair. There are some casinos that also demand you to wager at least 2x but I found this rule very unfair. Btw if there is a player that deposits money and withdraws multiple times without playing, they usually get banned.
Oh, if only they actually followed their own rules! They set all sorts of rules for us, but then they can just decide not to pay out without following any rules themselves.
Especially if they’re so uninterested in keeping a customer that they’re willing to just ban them outright.
