Hey folks
 
As promised, tonight I'll try to make an analysis of the General bonus and casino terms and conditions for Parklane - a newly added casino to AskGamblers database. Hope it's gonna be useful for all those who intend to join Parklane casino or have already done it. 
 
Please, keep in mind that the goal of making such analyses is to outline those rules which needs your attention and could have a serious impact over your future stay at the casino if you are not totally in aware with their meaning. 
 
I. General Casino Terms&Conditions
 
 
Thumbs Down - Accepting casino terms and conditions means to sign a contract with that casino. If you signed a contract with the casino for let’s say a bonus with 10x WR and then casino change that WR to 100x afterwards, then it means that the change will affect you directly and significantly reduce your chances for a successful playthrough and that’s not fair at all. Players are bound to the rules which they accepted upon registering at the casino and casino is obliged to inform them in case of a change that could influence them in any way and/or affect their payments, bonus requirements, etc.
 
 
Thumbs Up - Asking players for confirmation of their age before allowing them to deposit is in fact highly effective and  quite simple measure at the same time against underage gambling.
 
 
Thumbs Down - Having such rule is simply hilarious. Especially when it comes to proving the methodology in which a player is being considered as “recreational” or not.
 
 
Thumbs Up - This is the way it should always be. Online casino industry should never be used as a mean of money laundering, not to mention terrorism funding.
 
 
Thumbs Up - I really love to see when casino explains such an important detail in such a simple and clear way.
 
  Thumbs Down - It is not clear what exactly this exchange rate will be, neither the conversion fee. Such important details should be written in way more transparent way to avoid further confusion and financial losses.     
Thumbs Up - Great! Now make a single step further as request that proof before the first deposit.    
Thumbs Down - Hmm, could someone explain to me why it should be the player to pay for a cashout? Definitely thumbs down!    
Thumbs Down - Very high minimum amount allowed for a withdrawal. Majority of online players are in fact choosing to cashout amounts under 100 EUR/GBP/USD.     
Thumbs Down - Very low maximum amount for a monthly withdrawal limit. I could understand such limit for 24 hours, or even for a week, but for a whole month?... On top of all, the remaining money will be returned to player’s balance which is of course totally unfair and even considered as an attempt to urge player to gamble and to lose eventually.     
Thumbs Down - So, it appears that those who placed deposit limits will be punished with even lower withdrawal limits? That’s unfair and unjustified.     
Thumbs Down - Tricky and unfair rule which caused so many players lose their withdrawals on a later stage. When I asked couple of years ago another casino using the same term why they didn’t change that rule and simply put a max allowed bet as an absolute value, they never replied back. Obviously, some casinos prefer using such kind of terms referring to max bet allowed while playing with your own money and no bonus is attached, simply because that would help them find a way to void players winnings on a later stage.    
Thumbs Up - It is essential for any player to understand that Responsible Gaming means not only rights, but some obligations as well.     
Thumbs Down - This is not considered as a good practice when it comes to applying Responsible Gaming policy. A serious company should be responsible and to take all the necessary measures to prevent problem gamblers from opening/using other accounts across their network. It’s not a rocket science after all.     
Thumbs Up - Seems as the only possible fair resolution in case a software glitch caused some game crash.     
Thumbs Down - Hmm, I believe this is not quite true as there is another place where all players game transactions should be kept and that is the server/s of the gaming provider. In case of a dispute, it is the gaming provider’s records which are being put into an investigation by the relevant licensing authority, simply because these records are considered as the most reliable source de facto.   II. General Bonus Terms and Conditions    
Thumbs Up - Simple and clear instructions what you are supposed to do if you want your bonus removed. I like it when casinos do it this way and avoid using lengthy and confusing procedures for such a simple thing as a bonus removal     
Thumbs Down - Why? Once a withdrawal has been requested it goes into casino’s hands and player has nothing to do about it. Then why being punished with receiving no bonuses only because casino is slow on withdrawals?

Thanks for estimating so high our efforts to deliver accurate and unbiased information to our members! It's a real honor to hear that from such an experienced gambler like you. 

I guess sorenjo's question was referring to continue playing in general rather than how would you spend the money.  
 
Just imagine playing Dead Or Alive 9 or 18 bucks a spin... Did it already? Good... Now imagine 5 scatters! You did it already? Good...Now imagine a double wild and 9 or 10 spins to go...  
 
It's not about the money anymore, it's all about the adrenaline! 

Strategy is just the wording I happened to use. I basically have given a guide to play the game as safe as you possibly can this method has worked everywhere for me bar one place. I'd also highly recommend to play it somewhere that offers cashback that way if the session is stinking then you'll cash in from the loyalty points/cashback etc etc. By picking Baratheon there isn't an in between though it will either be really bad or really great. Other features seem to have mixed results...

As promised, the first casino's T&Cs analysis is ready.

Please check and let me know if it fits your demands. 

Nice point Adebisi, I agree with you. I like more comments from a variety of players because as it is said, the voice of the people is the voice of God, or something like that. 

If it's no longer fun I would just take a temporarily break. Been having the same sort of with TwinSpin not awarding a full screen in over 15,000 spins. Got to the point that I would no longer deposit to play NetEnt games. It's simply not fun when you don't have a chance, gambling is supposed to be entertaining after all.

I think AskGamblers does a pretty good job right now already when it comes to the casino reviews with all relevant information presented in a simple overview. And below that information we can of course gather player comments and get a more detailed view of the casino in question.
 
The only thing I can think of is indeed the bonus terms. We all know many disputes happen over those, and it would always be nice if some little tricky terms get highlighted in advance. Other than that the reviews are great in my opinion.

You bet I would! I can totally imagine myself betting 100 euros per spin then and making 2K sports bets and losing it all eventually haha. Like Sharon noted, 50K is a nice amount but not life changing money. Though of course it's still wise to invest the majority in nice things so you can actually enjoy it.
 
Would I still play if it was a million? Probably not, what's there to play for when you've reached that? To me it sounds like you have more to lose at that point than to gain. I would probably call it a day on gambling all together if I got that lucky.

Lol forget about strategy if every feature refuses to pay more than 10x bet. It's lady luck after all and a matter of respecting your bankroll by not making too many crazy bets so you do actually have the chance to win.

Hey folks,
 
Have always wondered how most online gamblers imagine or expect a casino review made by a gambling related website should look like. I mean, what would you like to see and read in that review mostly. Is it only facts and details regarding the casino? Or you would like to read a lot more about each and every of these details? How about only text without any details? Would you like to read someone reviewed and reported all the little 'traps' within the bonus and general casino terms? Something else?...
 
I think you got my point. I made a small poll for your convenience. Please, share your point of view and don't forget to explain your personal preferences, cause your feedback is precious for us.
 

Hi Sorenjo,
 
when I saw topic title I started wondering whats big actually is and I must tell, 50 000 pounds,dollars, is not big to me.
 
To me, 300 000 euros would be big. Super Mega Win !!!
 
fff that million,really...
 
 
Yes,I would keep playing...ohhhh,I would!!

I'd still play of course but certainly no different to what I'm doing now. I'd use the money to buy things I need and to secure some kind of future. 50,000 is not a massive amount of money these days, I mean it wouldn't even buy a house but I'd certainly spend it wisely and definitely would NOT try winning more from it.

i would probably spent some money for games.. but not a lot. i will cashout most of it and leave just a couple of hundred for some fun... i think with this kind of money you can do a lot of thing rather than spent it on slots.. and the best part is that when you do something/invest it in something; is great feeling when you know that you made the right decision
 
 
sure we are different, so i like to hear more feedbacks from our members!

Yes!
 
And to be honest, I would play even more and with bigger bets!

Damn bro! That's a serious amount of money. Glad you learned your lesson though, I hate it when casinos kind of hold you "hostage". Therefore, I always pick casinos with a quick payout record.
 
Regarding my biggest mistakes in gambling, lol, there are too many haha
 
I messed up 3K after a 100 euro deposit in April I believe. Luckily few weeks later April/May was a top month or I would still be mad about it

That's great! I'm liking the cartoon-like images that accompany them. Some people obviously need them @ posting etiquette.

I must say I'm guilty unfortunately. But it's never my intention to reverse a withdrawal when I request one. When I withdraw, I made my decision, I want my money and not to keep on playing. It usually gets caused by getting annoyed by the casino for having to wait too long. And that's the main reason why many casinos still enforce these pending periods to prey on the "weak" so to speak.
 
But on the upside, some of my greatest wins ironically came from reversing a withdrawal. But obviously you can't keep on reversing and playing, gotta know when to stop or it will end up in misery . Which is never a nice feeling, but I'm sure many can relate to that.

I think this the right song to summarize this thread lol:
 
 

(reposting here again...forgot that this win is a Mega win. )

2am into the morning and it's already making me happy
Four long months I've been waiting...no, not for a baby

Dead Or Alive in the early morning...followed by Game Of Thrones in the afternoon...

 
And now Dolphin Reef in the late evening...yaaaaay!
(cannot withdraw yet...another $7200 wagering to go... )

 
Whaaaaat a beautiful Saturday today is...wooohooooo!
 

FINALLY!!! Over 1000x bet on this slot... Bet 0.90 and my fourth 1000x bet win on a MG slot ever and i play them allot.... First time on this tough.
 
Had 5 spins with wilds on 4 reels... To bad the dino diddent come and spit one on the last reel porlly would have been a 2-3 times bigger win.

Wow, what a dream hit Afi!
 
Congratulations, gotta love GoT when it pays! Especially during the 5x multiplier Baratheon feature.
