i cleared like 4 of these bonuses at CON. then they sent me this email


"According to the User Agreement you have with us, in the event that we believe that if a user is abusing or attempting to abuse a bonus or other promotion, or is likely to benefit through abuse or lack of good faith from a gaming policy adopted by us, then we may in our sole discretion, deny any bonus or promotion, or rescind any policy in respect of that user, either temporarily or permanently.

This Email is to inform you that we have made a decision to deny you from obtaining any promotional bonuses from us in the future. This decision is prompted by your account activity (mostly based on depositing repeatedly during promotional events in order to cash out casino?s bonuses with minimal risks), which is highly inconsistent with our philosophy of rewarding players who take risks and enjoy gambling.

Same type of thing they sent out when Pacific cancelled the bonus bucks program for high stakes players.

[Reef]

what time is this Washington time?

[LondonBroil]

Does blackjack count towards the wagering requirement? Also, if I deposit for the bonus, play just enough, and try to cash-out, do I run the risk of them freezing my entire account with my original deposit too?

[LLXC]

Yes, blackjack counts.

If this is your first time, I don't think you will run into that problem.

[moondogg]

The ban comes after you've whored them for a few months. I've never heard of them freezing and cashouts or winnings. You just get an email saying "you've f'ed us long enought, no mas", at which point they just won't give you more bonuses. Depositing outside of bonus times supposedly helps, but I deposited a few times last month, lost some money at craps (for which they gave more bonus cash into my account each time), and then banned me a last week.

[eric5148]

I've been whoring CON/Reef ever since they changed their initial deposit bonus to 100% up to $200.

I usually deposit and wager a lot more than is required. I go to the high roller tables and bet $300 a hand. You need a large bankroll to do this, though.

I also make a deposit once a month (while there isn't a bonus going on) and purposely lose about $50 playing baccarat, craps or roulette.

Just curious, are you a VIP member?

LOL, no, not even close. You need to wager $1.5 mil to be VIP.

Being broke and in debt.

Other than being broke, your bonus points are worth 1.5 times what they're worth to normal players. So that means it cuts your house edge by .15% instead of .1%.

The T&Cs are very vague about the VIP perks on purpose. They say you get "a VIP welcome bonus" and some other special events. There's also monthly VIP race days, where the people who wager the most during certain days get cash prizes.

But wait, there's more! If you wager $3 mil, then you become a Gold VIP member. Your bonus points are worth TWICE as much as they are for normal players. OMFG!

It's so ironic how these two casinos are by far the easiest to make money off of. But if you're a "real" gambler who doesn't care about long term winning, then it's one of the worst in terms of comps. But that's fine with me!
