I would surmise that a very large percentage of players DO NOT read the terms. I think This is one of the reasons why retention is so bad at many online casinos … they dont read and then they find themselves caught up in a dispute of some kind.Personally If I actually read those terms I wouldnt want to play. Im a plug and play kind of guy – screw the instructions.
Hi Arkyt,
You couldn’t have said it better 
I have been a player most of my life and I do enjoy online casino gambling occasionally, but man it’s frustrating business sometimes. Last time I checked into a new casino I was very dissapointed in the way matters were handled. Here’s what happened; I joined a new casino and deposited my first deposit – played the money and bonus away and deposited the same sum as previously(no bonuses).. well I played on and that was gone too.. well I took a third shot at it and deposited the same amount again.. well luck was on my side and I managed to double all my deposits – yippee! 
Well, I then withdraw the money, few days go by and I receive a email telling that I cant withdraw because I have not wagared enough!! I mean C’mon – How can that be as I lost the first two deposits and the bonus right away.. so how can it be that I am not allowed to withdraw?? Well the explanation is that when I received the lowsy 40% extra bonus on my first deposit I would have to wager it and the deposit 15times!! even though I had lost all of a longtime ago.. funny ain’t it.
Well, the reason for the wager requirements not fullfilling were that I mostly played roulette, but I also made some playes on slots and Video poker and blackjack.. My experience from all that was a lowsy one even though I won even more since I had to play more… I just feel that if the wagering requirements are carried forward and 3 deposits isn’t enough to reward fair play then that is a sad example of the current ways of online gambling. I wish that the players and gaming companies would realise that this is just BS – Stop the big promos and provide good honest service – Thats my motto from now on! I have allways preferred to play in the local online betting shops and casinos that are Finnish and Goverment regulated as with those shops you always get what you are own and theres no gimmics.. not much bonuses either, but who cares for those anyhow – Not me thats for sure :bigsmile:
