Wagering requirements T/C

Not a complaint just curious if someone deposits money and doesn’t elect to use any bonus codes for free spins or money am I correct in reading the terms and conditions that anything I were to win still has to be played thru til wagering requirement is fulfilled? If that’s the case then why would I bother to play online ? Lol

Some casinos have a play through they say to prevent money laundering the one I use its x1 so if you deposit 50 you have to play through the 50. Look at your casinos T@Cs or alternatively ask live chat what the casinos rules are on this area

Thanks just one more thing, do you have to play thru every time you deposit or just the first?

Yes, it applies to every single deposit, some casinos require 1x as nigel said, but other 3x or 5x, some even 10x, the ideal is 1x, 3x is acceptable but anything above is abusive. Always check T&C, specifically the deposits, withdrawals and AML clauses, I was in one casino that required 10x on each clean deposit 😂

Yes, most casinos have a permanent deposit wager, as far as I know it helps deal with money laundering or something...

Precisely. 🙂

Would be good to mention the wagering requirement applied to "clean" deposit varies a lot. It's wise to keep an eye on the rules. 1-3x wagering is quite normal.

That 10x requirement was truly excessive. By the time I'd meet that condition, I'd have already lost all the money I deposited. It's nothing more than a crafty tactic devised by online casinos to boost their profit margins. In such cases, a policy with no deposit bonus and zero wagering requirements would be far more appealing.

Always best to read the terms and conditions before joining any online casino

Yes, outright abusive and predatory I would say, for slot players the requirements were 5x the deposit amount and for live players (like me) were 10x, but I remember making a couple of withdrawals only wagering 3 times my deposits, that's why I kept playing, they randomly forced 10x wagering for my deposits and ended up losing my balance when I was already profitable, which made me close the account, this was in Art Casino (Versus Odds)

Also it's advisable to check withdrawals and AML policies before every deposit, from now on I will have to do this (a hassle, of course). Check this out: kosmonaut casino applies a 3x wagering on clean deposits, not ideal, but still acceptable, played there some weeks, managed to withdraw from time to time, but today they forced me to wager A LOST DEPOSIT! Made a deposit last monday, lost it, made a new deposit today and they forced me to wager the requirements for the previous deposit, even when it was lost.

I play at Mystake as it's a non GameStop casino I've had some good wins but the casino is still ahead I reckon. They have a X1 wagering which is good and withdrawal 24hr bank transfer

I play almost exclusively on stake, requirements are also 1x and withdrawals for USDT are instant, but I still try other casinos from time, will add the one you mentioned on the pending list

I will now be sticking to one casino because I'm happy with their policies. I must of joined at least 50!! Casinos then reason told me you are playing the games provider the casinos only host the games on their server. I only play one slot I tried others and found them boring. What games do you play?

Mystake is your one?

Anyway, most casinos don't create their own games; instead, they source them from game providers. As a result, the games across different casinos can seem very similar, which makes the casino's policies and T&C more significant from a player's perspective.

I don't like slots neither, only few exceptions, I only play high RTP slots (Blood suckers, Mega Joker, book of 99) or slots that I feel got a high hit frequency but got an average RTP (like Gonzo's Quest, Fa Fa Babies, Take Olympus, etc), when it comes to slot I truly like the symbol-collecting ones, those that unlock a feature upon collecting the required amount of symbols (Fa fa babies, Three musketeers, Book of 99, Desert Gem, Mida's treasure, Granny vs Zombies) and most of the time I play live games (baccarat and craps). So in summary I always try to stick to either high RTP games (above 98%) or to slots with additional game mechanics besides triggering free spins, I agree with you, slots most of the time are boring and they are the quickest way to burn balances

I only play one slot Netents Finn and the swirly spin it's an unusual slot in the way it plays. Try it on demo as it's hard to explain how it works. I have won £2000 £1000 £900 wins. I deposit £25 start at .50 and if it's good and get the bonus features I go up to £1 then 2 max bet £5. The only problem I have noticed in the 4yrs of playing the slot is that once you hit a dead spin downward spiral all you get is dead spins and naff bonus features until your down to nothing, which is why I question wether it's a RNG or something more sinister in the software as once it starts going down it never recovers. I tried Gonzo's quest and when you got the bonus feature 8/10 free falls were dead.

I absolutely agree with you.

There are even those who ask for it 30x. 😛

I'd like to believe the chat operator wasn't in the best shape. 🤔

I passed this post to the data team just in case. Hoping for some useful feedback for the casino, at least.

Gonzo's quest bonus are usually not good but normally it's easy to trigger, on average it pays me 20x and it takes normally less than a 100 spins to trigger, I had one session without a bonus for 400 spins tho, but base game hits consistently. I know Finn and his 2 games, I feel it lacks base game hits, as you said, it can drain your balance too quick, which is what happened to me. I forgot to mention I also play games with bonus that trigger easily like Secret of the Stones, Steamtower, Wild North (usually this bonus is really bad) or games that let's you pay a vig in exchange for extra bonus chance (Net Gains or Book of power), not sure but most Relax Gaming got that feature and some No Limit slots too, whatever game triggers bonuses easily is good

Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing a complaint where a player was required to wager 30x his clean deposit!!! Not sure if that was a general term applied for everyone or to him specifically, but it's still insane
