If so, what date did that start please ? and when does it apply ?

Ouch!!

FL, you guys getting a bit carried away?

Rover, I took a look. I didn't see it at Fortune Room - might need to look again.

At Vegas Palms, they separate the terms between new players and old players.

For new players I see,

"The Vegas Palms sign-up offer is applicable to first-time Real players on the Vegas Palms casino.

Players will be awarded the 100% match bonus on their first purchase by wagering the purchased amount once in full on any games except Craps and Roulette.

Match bonuses will be credited within 24-hours up to a maximum bonus amount of $150.

The following wagering obligations apply prior to cash-in of the bonus:

Wager the purchase and bonus amount at least fifteen (15) times

Only 20% of the above wagering requirements can be met playing Blackjack e.g. If your required wagering is $4500 ($150 purchase x 15 + $150 bonus x 15) only play on Blackjack up to $900 (20% of $4500) will count towards your total wagering requirement

Wagering on Jacks or Better Power and Video Poker, Baccarat, Craps, Roulette and Sic Bo will not be counted as part of the requirements for this special offer

The wagering requirement (for cash-in purposes) will start being counted from the time the promotion bonus was added to the casino account."

I don't see the non carryover provision spelled out yet but at least we know about that - thanks again.

I don't see this rather restrictive policy applied to anything but the intial offering. It looks like they want slots players.

As a point of clarification on the new player offer, it appears you can play any game as much as you want but there is a limit on how much Blackjack will apply and while you can play craps (for example) it won't help meet your wagering obligation.

Probably the best thing to do if you are not a slots player is ask them to take back the bonus. I assume the bonus can be refused?
