Intercasino March Bonus - WoW!

[rusty JEDI]

Just got off the phone with the the ICP C.S. guy and my account has been zero for a few months now. He says the only way to get rid of my past wagering requirements is to have them close that account and start a new one.

No, my account wasn't at zero. I can't agree or disagree w/ your statement.

I hope you're right!

That would seem to resolve the intercasino question. I still wish you would call Ecash number above, and say:
"My account number is xxxxxx, and i have not played in a while. My balance is zero, and was just wondering if I take the March bonus, will I have to clear requirements from x months ago?"

Some casino csr's are as misinformed as some players. Bad training or good training? I don't know, but Ecash is the one to answer this question for casinos they process. It may very well be that intercasino does not wipe it out when busted, but Ecash can give you the answer on how the software will react to their various clients.

yes Stew is right.You must clear prior months unfulfilled requirements plus the current month.
I never lose any of my real money so I only play with the added bonus money- so for me I often dont clear the bonus.

My mistake. I actually did call Ecash because i used the phone numbers you listed. They said that even though my account is and has been at zero a couple months it is still listed that i have previous cashout requirements of $6000. They said the only way to get rid of this would be to close my old account and start a new one.

Well, that certainly answers it for intercasino. Will they allow you a new account Rusty? My point still remains that zeroing out bonus plus deposit accounts at many casinos will also zero out wagering requirements. When I lose the balance to zero from the sign-up bonus, i can repurchase instantly, and cashout instantly as long as I hit zero before this happens. If you play your account down to just a few cents, make sure to go to the penny slots (thunderstruck and spring break), and lose it ALL.

I beleive this is also the case with Sands of the Carribean casino, which is not powered by Microgaming. It is the same software that intercasino uses, and is also processed by Ecash.

should also apply to Sands of Caribbean.

Your wagering requirements are fulfilled if you

1) Play the required wagers, or
2) Lose twice the Bonus amount.

If your account is at $0 and you deposit $80 for a bonus of $80 and then owe $2000 in wagers, your wagering requirement will be erased if your balance drops to zero (because you have lost $160 = 2x$80).

If you have $100 in your account and deposit another $80 to get an $80 bonus, your wagering requirement should still be erased if you go drop down to $100 (your original balance before the deposit) because you will have lost $160 again.

The problem is that a lot of people here seem to play these without ever risking any of their own money. If you are at $0, then deposit $80 for an $80 bonus, and your balance has dropped to $80 after just $1000 in wagers, then the casino WILL let you cash out your $80 deposit (less their $1 fee). But if you go back to play again next month, it will remember that you still owe $1000 in wagers. Do this several months in a row and you could be looking at $10k or so in wagers for your monthly bonus unless you give up and open a new account.

Note that I believe you must clear all bonuses to cash out any winnings as well, so if you build up wagering requirements then go back to play poker, I think your poker winnings will be frozen until you clear the casino bonus. (I'm not as certain about this rule.)

They are actually surprisingly tolerant of people opening new accounts, as long as you are not doing so to claim bonuses on more than one account. Say you bought a new computer, or reformatted your hard drive, or whatever, if they want a reason, but you shouldn't even need an excuse, since players do these things all the time. If you start opening an account every month, you might attract some unwanted attention, but just once won't raise any eyebrows.
