Now Intertops has to actually give you a bonus. This will be a new concept for them too. They are so far behind with the casino world it is pathetic.

I can't speak for all Rival casinos, but Cocoa tends to give out a weekly bonus based on your losses. This also has a WR and usually has a minimum cashout, sometimes a max cashout as well.
Apparently iNet doesn't care too much about the mid-3 figure depositers. I lost around 400 one month and didn't get a penny the next.

Is there any casino out there that actually checks for those 'deposit $50 and wager $100 total' runs that happens far too often and gives some bonus when it actually makes a difference?

Ok.. now I get you... that is like loyalty freebies..
Rivals tend to send them out weekly and monthly.. I get them
from one of the Rivals 2 or 3 times a week.. as far as Microgaming
your best bet would be emailing and asking.
At Simon Says I got one after my first deposit, without asking.
Losing fast: I tell everyone to send a sweet little note to support
(especially if you did not claim a bonus and lost fast) including the fact that you adore the casino
but have had poor luck and could really use a little action... of course
including account name so it is easy for them..
That works many times
GOOD Luck to you and may the bonus gods smile on you

I'm sure there must be some casino out there smart enough to scan the game logs looking for people busting out on their deposit in ery little play and giving them some free chips instead of a comp system where most lowrollers will never get to redeem even $5?

I am a bit dense.. I think you are asking if there are casinos
that give you a deposit bonus then an extra bonus if you deposit and wager
a certain amount on slots or a specific game? Win or loose?
Many of the Rivals do that and Sloto'Cash tends
to do those frequently. They have one today that is buy
$100 (use 50% or not) and wager $100 and you receive
$24 credits in 2 days. They do them for buy $50 deals
also and sometimes are game specific.
If I am way off base please ignore my post

Rival definitely has the most generous comps. 3Dice would be a close second.
With MG it's just too difficult and costly to get back a tiny fraction of the losses you will incur wagering such a ridiculous amount (1000:1 on slots, come on!).
Pacers - not all MG's apply a WR to your comps. You may want to play at a different MG if possible. As far as I know - if they haven't changed in the last year and a half - Jackpot Factory and Crazy Vegas give them to you as cash.
I find RTG comps to be just as stingy as MG. It's possible that it's just iNetBet, I think Club World has a better ratio. At iNetBet I would guess it's the same 1000:1 that MG uses because it takes a lot of deposits to get the minimum of 50 points for $5.
Comps are somewhat of a gimmick, too. I think I subconsciously keep trying to make it to the next level so I can earn more comps, which is ridiculous since they rarely add up to anything useful. I did manage to earn over $200 in comps a few times ... | | Read Entire Entry |

Meanwhile I could not stand it, so had to go
look for the new games at Intertops after all this talk (not yet reased there )
I found $5.. it was not in the bonus balance,
but in the cash balance ...maybe a short term glitch
or my good karma or probably just a promo credit from a few
days ago before the new system

Quick question:
Do you have to cash your points (MG) in certain increments such as 2500, 5000, etc? If so, I think that's total BS. You should get back every penny that you've earned, not some figure that's rounded down to the nearest dollar (Or 5) just to make it easier for the casino.
Besides, what do they care if you cash in $7.33 instead of $5? It's not like they're doing any of the computations, the software is.

Some of us are stuck with Intertops.. some really stuck
because it is the only Micro they can play...
I do like them though, especially their little atm card for cashouts..
They have always treated me and my players well..
