If like me, you got a letter saying You have won �1500 to play their casino for one hour, dont bother. You can "win" up to �200. You then have to wager a minimum of �40 and then you find out you have to wager 30 times this to be able to withdraw anything. You have been warned.

It's all a clever way to lure you in. You need to have over the �1500 left to "win" anything, and the most they will credit you with is �200 i.e. if the balance after an hour is �1700 you think you will get �200 to walk away with. Think again!

Tell me you didn't sign up to an online casino because you had a spam email saying you had won free money???

I bet the Nigerian ex-president's must love you.

I got a letter in the post with a cd to load. I (foolishly I agree) played the free hour. Then I "won" the �200 which in the letter you said you could win. Next instruction was to deposit some real money to be able to get the free money. (Dont say anything squarebear). Then came the sting, you had to play a game. I won �16, so there is now �256 showing in my account. When I tried to withdraw it I was told you have to wager 30 times the deposit. I launched the online help and argued with them. She said I couldnt raise a dispute as I had played with my deposit. When I told her it said I had to she said "Can I help you with anything else". At this point I lost the will to live. Have contacted my credit card who assure me they will dispute this but at the moment not come through to them.
Posted all this as a warning to my fellow men.

So by the sounds of it, you have to wager �1200 to get your winnings?

Presumably, they have roulette at this fine establishment? Why not wager �10 on red and �10 on black. That's �20 a go. Hopefully, you won't get enough 0s to wipe you out.

Although, it sounds a dodgy place, so the games are probably rigged anyway.

[grasscarp]

No. I am not going to bet ever again on their website. Wasted a couple of hours of my life already and am getting my money back through the credit card. ( I have just remembered something else, when you register they want your passport number so I just made up a number!)

[squarebear]

Passport number??? Sounds extremely dodgy.

And guess what landed on my doormat this morning? Straight in the bin. Thanks for the heads-up.

I think that's a technique to lure you in the site and invest some money. I don't really believe letters saying this kind of things and it goes through the outbox again.
