Dear xxxxxx

Following a review of your account activity, your account, xxxxxxxxxx, has been identified as one that has displayed certain activity we feel is not in the spirit of the InterCasino match deposit promotions.

These promotions are designed to give you, the player, an extra incentive to play at InterCasino and a greater chance to win in our casino. However, we have noticed that after receiving the bonus you have consistently withdrawn your original deposit and played only with the bonus money.

We feel that this behaviour is not in the spirit of the promotion and have therefore removed your account from being eligible to receive the monthly match deposit promotional bonuses at InterCasino.

This will NOT affect your current balance in the casino, or any future deposits you may make, only bonus monies given to you by the casino. If you would like us to review your account status after two months, please email me at ryanh@intercasino.com

Sincerely ,


Ryan Hartley
Manager - InterCasino

I didnt get this from InterCasino but Littlewoods wont let me get a bonus there anymore. Ive only done it 2 or 3 times too. And the last time I busted out pretty quick. I just wish they told me before I deposited. Stupid conversion fee.

why not play the bonus and then withdraw after?

How long have you been whoring them? I've cleared the bonus 4 times now and haven't got a mail like that, just wondering how long I can keep doing this..

as long as you don't play the PUSSY way (withdrawing your deposit and playing only with the bonus), then you'll be fine forever. the +EV is exactly the same in the long run. on the other hand, the -EV of getting bonus banned for a stupid psychological cushion is tragic.

I was bonus banned in the casino (luckily not the poker room as well) and have never withdrawn before I was done. I guess I'll have to suck it up and do it in the poker room. Pontoon was getting boring, anyway. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I am a well +EV poker player, so I just look at it as even more free money going over to poker...

Just go drop $200 over the next couple of months. Ask them to review, and you could be back in! +ev in the long run.

I was also booted. No worries, I busted out of this bonus (and then cashed out my deposit) 5 months in a row.

I don't know why I didn't get this email. Have been doing this bonus for years risk-free. I never withdrew if I pseudo-busted, just waited and deposited another $90 the next month.

Ive played that bonus 2 times only. Never cashed out any profit either.

Thats weird.
I used to do it the "pussy" way about a year ago for 3 monthsm then I realized I was an idiot for doing it that way (2 withdrawl fees).
For the past 8 or so months I have only played my bonus money and cashed out if I lost all of the bonus.
The same goes for Littlewoods.

I hope I dont get the same email you did...

i think thats the difference. he withdrew before he even played.

Doesnt anyone have enough self control to just stop until the next month when you blow through the bonus?

Sand

I guess I should have just let it build up and taken money out in odd increments. I never took money out before I finished the bonus. I did, however, take the $90 back out after I was done (and only after I was done), regardless of whether I was over or under for the month. My lazy way of accounting, I guess, cost me. Still odd though, because a number of months I did end up under the $90 bonus (I did kill them a couple months, though).

Suxors, but I guess I'll leave $100 in there and blow it and drop them an email in a couple months.

You didn't email them back and say, "That's very odd, I didn't notice anything in your promotional details or bonus offer terms about playing within the spirit of the bonus. Until you add language to your offer saying "The bonus is intended to entice players into wagering more money than they otherwise would at our casino and evenually losing much more money to us than they otherwise would. Unless you agree to take advantage of the bonus offer in this spirit, we would ask you not to participate in our bonus offer," I would respectfully request that you reinstate my bonus offer eligibility?
