What happened to good old fashioned welcome bonuses?


Recommended Posts

So, I've been browsing looking for a new casino to try since I've had a long break (give or take a few new sign ups) from new casinos and welcome bonuses, well any bonuses in fact! 

 

I feel it's time I get back in the saddle so to speak and get a few casinos on my list of regulars. However, I'm surprised at the amount of casinos that are now complicating their welcome bonuses. Like free spins being spread over certain amount of days, maximum cashouts, minimum deposits getting bigger, strange wagering requirements etc, etc. 

 

What happened to the good old days where you'd make a deposit get the bonus and just have the simple wagering requirements!!!

 

Anyone else see this happening more and more lately?

I feel you Coco, and these days there are just more and more hidden agendas behind bonuses that you apparently breach somehow. Casinos are becoming stingy. I think the Max Cashouts and Heavy wagering requirements has picked up a lot since then.

 What i hate most these days is the fact that you have to make another deposit at certain casinos to withdraw your winnings and also when Bonus funds are not contributing towards points systems/races(those casinos with the adventures style and levels etc).

While I have to agree with you, that there are some casinos who enforce strange terms and conditions, higher deposit and wagering requirements and some finicky loopholes to withdrawals, from what I have seen a lot of casinos do tend to stick with the old fashioned welcome offers.

 

I don't mean to make this seem like a sales pitch, but TradaCasino are very upfront with what you get and how you get it.

100% match up to $150, followed by 50 free spins.

75% match up to $200.

Then a 50% match up to $200.

 

There is even an offer for a 100% cashback on the deposit that is unlocked as you wager.

 

Transparency and fairness are just some of the things that players look for in their casinos and a lot of casinos are just that.

Jack : Trada is the last to speak as they also fall in this category of not being old fashioned anymore hehehe " Trada is the first casino that restrict $2 bet limit when claiming bonuses using skrill or neteller - I see this rule as complicating your bonus LOL"

 

BTW how far are Trada at implementing the quick spin feature on the Netent games?

The $2 bet can also be lifted on request Shafiek - It is not intended to be a catch :)

 

On the quick spin feature, I will get back to you on that personally :)

I know its not intended to be a catch. But to most folks who are used to the $5 limit, they will find that rule very inconvenient, even though the casino implemented it due to abuse or whatever reasons. I was just mentioning it.

 

I will await to hear from you then.

you can be freed from that stakesize limitation for ewallet deposits. just ask livesupport. thats also explicitly stated in the promomails. ;-)

 

I´d prefer that 100% cashback on a regular base. just to mention... ;-)

I totally agree with this! Infact I've near enough given up on finding new casinos at the moment if they are not a product of a casino group I am already familiar with as there are just far, far too many "catches" to trip up on when doing so. In particular I really hate the current trend for blocking those who deposit with an e-wallet from using bonuses, I am sure there must be better ways to defeat fraud than this.

And wagering requirements are very quickly heading towards blatant "we are taking this deposit whether you like it or not" territory. I absolutely HATE my deposited funds being included in the wagering requirement, when you calculate it as x bonus only it often ends up as over x100 wagering now, and if you are getting a bonus of less than 100% with a deposit plus bonus wagering requirement... you are completely crazy to accept it.

 

Stick to the good guys, thats my advice! And always read the terms VERY carefully before taking ANY bonus these days.

Yep couldn't agree more raverbabe. Back in my early days of gambling I never used to read the terms and conditions, members that have been here with us for a few years will know I was guilty of this since I talked about it alot. These days I could never get back into my old habits since there are many clauses and I'd almost certainly fall breach of the terms.
