sound about right?

This may be a dumb question, but what's up with all the transaction fees? Otherwise, I'd say this is a pretty solid deal.

I couldn't get the promo code to work. do you have to deposit the 1000GBP first?

[Acesover8s]

I tried it both ways and couldn't get it to work either.

actually that ev is not correct - the transaction fee would be much higher both ways because you would be depositing 1000 GBP, so it would be 1.9% on about 1700 USD not on 1000. So probably not really worth it

i think that he already realized that the transaction fee would apply to £, thus why he kept ALL of his calculations in £.

sorry you are correct - those are both my posts, i guess i am retarded

[Fraubump]

anyone actually get this bonus?

[MexKrax]

I emailed littlewoods before depositing after I realized the bonus code didn't work. They told me they were having "technical difficulties," but the casino manager would add the bonus manually "later." I decided to forgo the deposit because I don't want to tie up 1000GBP for a bonus that I'm not entirely sure I'll get anyways. I'd be interested to know if people are actually getting this bonus too.
