This one really SHOCKS me. I've had a couple casinos try not to pay me but I never would have expected it from here! I received an email offer from them for a 100% Welcome Bonus. Here it is

There were 3 different sections , one for Sports, one for the Casino, one for Poker in the email. No bonus was mentioned for Sports, and a different bonus was offered for Poker.
I called long distance to confirm I would be allowed to play blackjack and what the wagering requirements were. He said 5x the bonus and deposit. I thought this sounded like an awefully good deal and requestioned him if blackjack was ok to meet the requirements and would there be extra because it's blackjack. He said I could play in the Casino if I wished and that blackjack would have the same wagering.
I also went on the chat site , here's the transcript

After playing for a while I was wondering why I wasn't getting the bonus, and 2 other chat people confirmed my $100 bonus was coming and they could see it there already, but couldn't release it because the bonus department wasn't there for the weekend.
I got the $100 up to $1300 and probably played times 100 the deposit , at least. It was several hours and I play fast. Unfortunately, I lost it, but I was reassured the $100 bonus would be coming within 24 hours. Then I was told that actually the play had to be on Sportsbook products which it said in the terms. However, blackjack and roullette were on the Sports page and I figured that must have made them Sportsbook products,since I had that confirmed by several representatives.
The employees may have all been wrong, and the terms were vague, and the email which was from Sportingbet Canada, where I live, may have been a total mistake but that' s not my fault. I did everything I could to make sure of the wagering requirements. So I can't see how they can refuse to pay me the $100 bonus I was promised.
