Discussion about article: Bonuses and promotions (page 2)

I think I can beat that. I recently got a $700 bonus which I thought was incredible. I managed to wager through it and then they told me "non-cashable, removed on withdrawal".

Honestly that one really annoyed me. What’s even the point then? You play through everything, think you finally actually got somewhere, and then it just disappears.

Feels like one of those things hidden somewhere in the terms that you don’t even realise until it’s too late.

I probably should’ve checked properly but at the time I just wanted to play.

I hope this doesn't happen again.

I think this was a lesson, and after this, you'll never miss anything.

I hope so… though it feels like there’s always something hidden somewhere, especially when the bonus looks too good to be true.

A user on another forum warned about 'trap' bonuses that block withdrawals until you've wagered your entire balance. He tried to clear the requirement but ended up losing most of his original funds in the process.

usually you can't withdraw if you have active bonuses with wagers. it's written in t&c of different platforms. to prevent abuse and to get the funds rolling to the house 🙂

You should read carefully before accepting a bonus

That's what happened to me as well. I was offered a 200% bonus but the minimum deposit was high, but I thought the bonus seems great. But then they said I can't withdraw until I wager something like 25x bonus and deposit, which is impossible to finish without losing everything.
