Bonuses Paid out in Increments

[cocopop3011]

What is the actual point?

 

I still don't understand the point n a bonus that is paid out in 10% increments. Of course I know this is nothing new and I''m well aware of it, been caught out with this before. I just still fail to see the incentive for me.

 

Was just about to make what will probably be my final deposit this year and take a 100% reload when I realised it was 10% increments again. Nah think I'll pass thanks. £2 at a time what is the point.

 

Does anyone else take these kind of bonuses?

I totally avoid taking any of such lousy bonuses!

 

When I make a deposit, I want to play the whole bonus and deposit money straight away. This is more interesting, especially when the bonus amount is quite a lot, allowing bigger bets to be played. With 10% increments, what can that do? Yes, that bonus money, when released, is indeed cashable money, but it cannot be withdrawn, because the amount is too small. It's all a trick play by the casinos, which I don't like at all. 

 

Either give me the whole bonus amount, or no thanks at all.

Exactly! Okay I only £20 at a time but even someone depositing £200 only gets it in £20 increments. Just seems so ridculous that you wager just to get your money back in 10% portions and I'm actually surprised that VideoSlots still have this bonus scheme in place.

Yeah Videoslots has this scheme. The nice thing about it you can cancel the bonus at anytime and keep any winnings you made which have been wagered already.

 

But i am disappointed in how Videoslots does it. Even though you have wagered yhe required amount and have received 10% x5 already, if you cancel the bonus, you forfeit any winnings. So then whats the point of completing the wagering first? They might as well give the full amount because either way the money is basically locked...

Yep! I remember raising this issue now a few years back and I recall having a reply from the rep although I don't remember what their response was. My suggestion was to re-think their bonus structure, however they were happy with the way it works.

 

Off the top of my head I don't recall any other casinos having such a scheme in place but I expect there are, can you guys think of any?

Try asking the casino offering such weird bonus scheme and I bet you will receive all kind of even more weird answers - you may cancel the bonus at any time and request a a withdrawal, you are not bound to any real WR or it is significantly less than the common one, less restrictions and terms to watch for, etc etc....

 

In my humble opinion, the main reason of offering the so called incremental bonus scheme is to lower player's chances of a winning, that's it. Everyone could do the math and calculate the number of spins made with the classic and the incremental bonus scheme and will realize what I am talking about...

I know there is one other casino that has the same scheme but cannot get the name of it now. But if you cancel the bonus any incremental winnings you received are yours to keep since you have done the wagering for the 10%.

 

As far as i know this is the bonus scheme on all Poker sites.

Hi V

 

I must admit i had these questions with Videoslots. one thing about them is they stick to their structure. No matter how you put a sentence or how you structure your question or even try to explain to them how these absurd terms make you feel,  they will always say - " I'm sorry how you feel about it, but it is how videoslots bonus work" or " It might not work for you but it works for a lot of other players", or they will say " I cannot give you a better answer or the answer you want, but that is just how videoslots works". I sometimes feel they do not give a shiiit or care how you as an individual feel or say something that is more comforting in anyway.

 

I had these type of answers when i was disputing that bonus that was stuck on my account even though i made a  new deposit and i won big and i requested a withdrawal and they cancelled all my winnings, due to the fact that i thought the bonus would be cancelled automatically with my previous deposit since i did not meet any wagering requirements.

 

That is why i play tournaments and no more bonuses with them.

Yeah, had similar conversations before with Victor Chandler Casino /now BetVictor/, then with Trada and Video Slots and the result was always one and the same - support often understand player's concern, but unfortunately not able to do or change anything.

 

And that is of course the main reason why none of the casino offering such incremental bonus scheme got any decent piece of my gambling budget, ever.

Now you've just said that I remember last time I raised this in the forum that's what the rep said too that it works for lots of players.    I really doubt it does, well maybe high rollers those depositing £2K plus would receive their money in £200 increments, but even then if your depositing £2k does £200 really mean that much to you <_>
