Never ever take a bonus offer from Candy. Never.
These are among the worst bonuses available anywhere (sticky 50X? yikes!). They're so bad they don't include the terms or a link to them in the email offers.
Sunny Grp bonuses are not bonuses. They are traps.

gidi - I wish I could help. All can offer is sympathy - not that that's worth much!
If there's one thing that comes out of it, it's a warning to other players - when it comes to sending your money to unregulated, offshore internet casinos, you can't be too careful.

Hi Guys.
I just wanted to drop some update about the chat history I have asked.
NONE!!
just a reminder, 3 weeks ago I have asked from goldgate casino my chat history in order to show them that they told me other terms then the terms they showed me when they needed to pay.
no reply from them after several emails.
a week ago I have asked Iris, Playtech representative, the same request.
no reply from her too.
I really hope Brien can help me here, cause I am sure I have been robbed here, but it seems to me that there is nothing I can do!
Please advise...

Then there was also the story about Casino Fortune(another Sunny casino) buying out Donald Trumps' land-based casino. Of course it turned out to be false.

This group of casinos is to be avoided at all costs. They have changed terms before, they also have the highest playthough on your initial deposit ( 200% ) of any casino at 50x and their promotions are so much garbage that they make me sick. " the apprentice casino" and that stupid boxer lady ect.Their sign up bonus ( $30 free ) allows you to only play the sunny slots , knowing you will never hit the jackpot, but they get your email address and thus the spam. Their service is sub par at best and their reply emails are standard and always the same. There are simpy better place to play at like global player casino or maple casino. I hope this gets dealt with but I doubt you will win even with bryan on your side because the terms did state what you could and couldnt do. Its bull s that ideo poker is considered poker but ....thats their loss. They simply dont think people will win and when the odds go more in a players favor they change the terms. I say stay away and ill make a point to post this ... | | Read Entire Entry |

Hello XXX
Candy here; how are you today?
Quick question I wanted to run by you...Do you get Promotions for all your casino accounts?
And if not would you like to?
You know with gambling sometimes playing on one account may not be the right one at the right time but if you happen to switch and try another, you may definitely double your earnings? It's something to think about isn't it?
I'm always trying to find ways to better my personal services to you and today I'm feeling the ibes that positive fortune will come your way. Are you willing to give it a shot? Okay let's do it together.
For today only; you will have the opportunity of playing on "2" two of your casino accounts.
You decide the one which will be first.
Providing my first deposit offer didn't make an impact; then switch to your second choice of account and play with the follow up Match Offer.
This is heavy stuff. Remind me a bit to ... | | Read Entire Entry |

let me answer for your questions.
Mikepipe - they offered me 400$ and I should play only slots for the same terms, meaning 90000$ to play.
I have found this offer insulting.
another thing, mike, dont you think that the poker issue and the new unexplained terms is a case?
as for chuchu59, I wrote in my long tread before that I have asked for chat history, and till now I did not get.
and the email I got from them, here it is below, you can see that the only place you can see the terms is "terms and condition apply", without any link to the terms (which is different from promotion to a promotion).
if you want the reply to this email that I ask for the terms, I can give you that as well -

Hi Gidi,
some more informations might be helpful, but after all you wrote i think that they have the right to do what they did.
Its a completely different question if that is good style and if they should not better act more accurate or sensitive to keep you as a satisfied customer-
Morally you are on the good (sunny...) side, but for the money: i guess, the best to be expected is a new bonus with the same t+c s.
Maybe you ask them for one?

Sunny Group's spam e-mails are freaky.
I've wrote them 4 times to ask them to stop sending me those crazy e-mails (I've posted about that in the thread called "I'm gonna puke part 2")....never got an answer and they stil send me those e-mails.
The marketing people writting those e-mails are weird and incompetent.

Really, offer a monster bonus to a regular player used to regular terms, then make it hard for them to find out if any different terms are in effect - certainly a bit dodgy.
To find it's a 50% sticky bonus at 50*(D+B) takes the P*** - you are clearly NOT expected to win with such a list of excluded games!!
This is effectively 50*(D+B) sticky, slots only. This is a no brainer - refuse such bonuses (probably why they didn't WANT you to know the T & C up front), it's only in the confirmation E-mail as a link, bit LATE then!!!!!
Sunny Group also spam the living C*** out of my E-mail address! The offers are a bit unbelievable (they neglect to mention that they are "sticky" in the mailers).

you can skip the intro and move to the problem after the below paragraph.
this is my first post in this forum, and like to thank all of you and the meister for all the knowledge in the past 4 years in the online industry.
I am not so young, more then 60, and used to play a lot in landbase casino.
but 4 years ago I had tried to play from home and got used to it...
from time to time I have the habbit to look at this forum in order to update and see what problems players have, and by that avoid problems.
now, for the first time in my online history, I have a problem and it is a big one.
on the 26th of May, received email from GoldGate casino about a promotion they have, 50% bonus on first deposit up to 1200$, and then 40% on the second deposit.
this is the place to tell that I play at this casino for the past 3 years, and as far as I know they like me a lot, I lost more then 2000$ in those years.
the problem that the email was without terms for this promo... | | Read Entire Entry |
