    Default Bonus Abuse

    Hello,

    Anybody came across cases of bonus abuses. Please share it with me.

    What are the common bonus abuses from the side of operators and players in general?

    Not really so familiar with online casinos but always read the T&Cs thoroughly. Im not sure if you would call them abuses but on the part of the operator watch out for:

    1) Very narrow field of games which count toward the bonus due to offsetting in games like roulette and punto banco.
    2) Harsh play through conditions. Some operators make you wager up to 50x the bonus amount before it is released.
    3) Watch out for anything about freezing accounts. Operators will quite willingly close down accounts they believe are participating in bonus abuse. Fair enough. What you dont want is your account frozen unable to withdraw your funds.

    Errr. Thats about all i can think of off the top of my head. Couldnt really say on the player side but i get the distinct impression online casinos arent taking any guff regarding bonuses any more. Watch out if you are thinking of dabbling.

    Thanks for elaborated answer. At many sites bonuses are offered with hidden terms and conditions while as a propoganda tactics. Noone will give from his side, its only promotational strategy.
