English Harbour Casino - Stay the hell away

Against my better judgement I decided to try out their 100% $275 max deposit match.

I figured despite stuff like this:

There were still enough people reporting wins on the site for me to believe it is legit.

Well just like Webster I saw my $550 go bye-bye betting $2 while watching the dealer constantly draw to 20's and 21's like it was nothing.

If you don't feel like loosing $275 I highly advise staying away. This is one of those deposit bonuses that is too good to be true.

Yup - the ONLY place I've ever had a bad time with. I was not even CLOSE to completeing the number of hands!

Go to Casino on the Net $1000 and get 200 play 2X (TWO X)

won $261 - takes 5 days to get the $$ back but worth 15 minutes!

Thanks for posting this...against my better judgement I was about to give English Harbour a go, but now I think I'm definitely scared straight. Thanks for saving some of us casino bonus fools.

the 2x is on the deposit + bonus or just the bonus?

Definitely sounds very fishy. Were you playing multi handed or just single handed? Were you playing $2 a hand every time? How much did you wager before going bust?

I was one of those that reported winning there in that original post... it has been my biggest casino score to date....i hope they didnt "flip the switch" and become corrupt.

I too had my biggest score at this place playing roulette and they payed me fairly quickly also.I used to think those names of winners scrolling across the lobby were fake,but my name was on there a couple of times.
Im not trying to promote the place,im just telling you my experience with them.
We shouldnt be playing at any of those places!

Fortunately, I managed to stay away from English Harbour (enough people complained for me to be vary). however, recently I got raped at casino tropez and delrio (100 match bonuses). Well, I started at delrio and I busted out pretty quiclky by losing 2/3-ds of my bets. Went to tropez and i lost 10 bets straight. I didn't win a freaking single bet. Then, I decided to cut my losses and forfeited the bonus. No more playtech for me from now on. Yeah casino on the net was good, same for their brother (or sister site ) reef. Reef has a much higher wagering but it is still a good deal.

I actually got very close to finishing the wagering requirement but lost most of what was left with about 400 (out of ~2500) hands to go.

In each session of approximately 400-800 hands I lost about $100 each time.

When you say play 2x, do you mean you only have to make $400 in wagers to clear the $200 bonus? I can't find the wagering requirements on the promotions page for the site.

I think I found it, hidden in the promotions page. It looks like you have to wager 4x the deposit plus bonus amount. So, if you deposit $100, you get $200 bonus, and you have to wager $1200 to clear it. That seems pretty good, considering Intercasino is like 25x and a much smaller bonus.
