As far as I can see from the T&C's the WR here is 35 times the bonus and 35 times the deposit. I thought 12 seemed a bit too good to be true..

"All games other than those specified below: You must wager your bonus a minimum of 10 times on these types of games before a transfer from your Bonus Account to your Real Account will be allowed.
Blackjack and Video Poker: You must wager your bonus a minimum of 35 times on any form of Video Poker or Blackjack before a transfer from your Bonus Account to your Real Account will be allowed.
Other: You may play the following games with a Bonus Account but any wagers on these games do not contribute to satisfying (meeting) wagering requirements: Baccarat, Craps, Roulette and Sicbo "

Not sure where I got the 12X from, 10X is standard, 35X for blackjack and video poker but that is only the bonus - not the deposit.

Table Games : Roulette, Baccarat, Blackjack, Multihand Blackjack, Cyberstud, Craps, Sicbo, Red Dog, Poker Pursuit.

No Pai Gow poker by the looks of things, but I will definitely be completing full guides to all these games along with a pointer to what the wager requirement would have to be to make it profitable.

In the t&c I think I seen that it says, the player must wager any deposit used to aquire a bonus a total of 35 times also.

I have been looking at the T&C's and it looks pretty daunting:

You have to wager 35x the bonus amout in order to move the bonus from your bonus account to your real account.
THEN, you have to wager 35x (your initial deopsit + any transfers from your bonus account) in order to make a withdrawal!

So if you deposit £100 you get £200 bonus. To get the bonus from your bonus account to your real account you need to wager 35x100 = £3500. If you manage to transfer all £200, then to get a withdrawl you then have to wager 35x(100+200) = £10,500 ! So in total this would be £14,000 wagered for £200 - what are the odds of busting out with this many hands? Is it worth the risk.

Is this right?

Seems real steep for £200, although if it does have autoplay that would help Shocked

Did this the other day, withdrew £530 from a £100 deposit. Even under the new terms, this is an offer worth doing.

I will play here with $100 to get $200 bonus. What stakes do you suggest if I will play with the autoplay and I must withdraw at least the same, that I have deposited? I think about $1 or $2...

So, I have to warger the $200 35x times and then the bonus+mydepsoit 35 times, true?

I didn't know what I'd let myself in for when I signed up. It seems that if you lose all your money before reaching the WR, you get no bonus atall.
I am very upset by this and wouldn't recommend the site to anyone- unless they're willing to take a big risk.
Looks like £150 down the drain after it all started so well Sad

This site rocks! I bought in with pounds and am up to 391.50 playing $1 hands of blackjack. PLAY VEGAS STRIP BLACKJACK AS IT HAS THE LOWEST HOUSE ADVANTAGE .36%!!!! Just set it to autoplay $1 a hand and the odds of losing your bonus are beyond tiny since the odds of losing half of the bonus are next to nothing.

I have not cashed out yet, as I want to bonus whore their other casino and dont want to be blacklisted from their company. I have heard they have trouble cashing out using NETeller. Anyone cashout using NETeller? any truth to the rumor?

If you do what I have suggested, your expected profit is 184.92. Of couse that is what is expected mathematically... you will likely be slightly above or below that, but there is basically no way in hell that you can bust out. AGAIN, PLAY VEGAS STRIP BLACKJACK!
