DISLIKED
After burning through my initial first deposit bonus at Diamond 7 in less than a couple of hours I wasn’t finished playing for the night and decided to keep going with this bonus. Deposited £30 this time around so I would start with £45, as it is only a 50% match for the second deposit… this gave me a similar wagering requirement to last time, and I wasn’t hopeful from the word go as I didn’t even beat a quarter of it with my first try. This is the problem that I learnt back then about trying to play these bonuses with such small deposits – your chances of beating the wagering area virtually nil because you don’t get enough spins to ever really have a decent chance of hitting anything decent. Even if you get a few 100x sort of wins, they really don’t mean much if you are only betting minimum bets or something like that.
Nevertheless, much as I did back then I just kept on playing NetEnt’s Dead or Alive, which currently only contributes 20% towards wagering but might well have been a 100% game back at the time. Keeping my bets between 0.09 and 0.18, I had a little more luck than first time around but nothing much to shout about.. that’s always the problem with Dead or Alive, it can keep your balance going for a while but ultimately unless you hit a wildline or a five scatter your going to go bust eventually, and just £45 isn’t enough to enter the long run with this game… not even close.
The free spins aren’t much of an extra either, whatever game they are on they are inevitably going to be at minimum bet and have a 35x wager on anything you win, which is going to be even harder to beat than the regular wager attached to the match bonus. Like the first deposit, if you want some more playtime there’s nothing wrong with this deal, and the casino is great, but mathematically your chances of coming out ahead are very small with this deal.
