I guess I won't be starting another thread. I hit an impasse so I'll just wrap it up here.

Here's how it went: I asked for clarification of 30x playthrough of bonus as there is a caveat on the 200 and 400% where it doesn't actually credit to cash in increments: if you withdraw before 30x bonus you lose all but initial purchase.
Also after reading the new hedge term I asked for clarification and explained my betting styles on craps and roulette. A rep got back to me saying my craps style was fine - gave me a guest account and password, and asked me to log in, play a few a examples of roulette, then contact him and he'd get back.

Got three replies from other CSR and none of them addressed the roulette 'trial' directly. Attn: "Dude" had no affect, so to heck with it.

Just in case anyone wondered, my roulette play is: Heavy on 17, heavy on second 12, heavy on middle line, heavy on black. Max on all splits and neighbors of 17. Coverage 70%+ it's not an all or n...

The whole idea is a bit crazy. They've approved my craps strategy as 'pure', still waiting on a response to my roulette methods. (I use over 70% coverage)

I really don't see, in the long run, how any roulette play could be acceptable or unacceptable (except as part of a larger bonus strategy). If I bet black once aren't my odds the same as betting 17 thirtyfive times? If I put one dollar on a number, or 35 dollars on a color... wtf? it's the same thing over time isn't it? (unless of course I don't have at least 35x35 (or $1225) to play with.

A high risk bet is a high risk bet, and a grinding bet is a grinding bet. I guess they could be used together, but that seems to be clearly termed against ia 'even money' betting.

I'll probably start another thread for this after I get a response on my roulette query. But I haven't completely decided whether to take the 400% bonus or not. It doesn't convert to real cash in ten dollar increments: you have to wager the whole bonus 30x ...

It's still and FU clause because it is way too open for the casino to interpret.
It is better than nothing, but it still only defines two kinds of play patterns, and they are not clearly defined either.

Hedge betting is probably the clearest, being placing a bet on all, or damn near all, possible outcomes such that all ariance in a game is eliminated.
An illustration of this would be placing bets on both red and Black at French Roulette, and engaging autoplay for the number of spins required to clear the WR, and then withdrawing.

Equal betting is not clear. Again they could be referring to the above red/black strategy, but "Equal betting" can also be playing a large number of spins on a slot all with the same bet, or hands of Blackjack, table poker, VP, scratchcard. This is so wide a definition they could use this to oid paying ery large numbers of players they "don't like".

I would like to know as well. They surely seem to have the FU clause in use.

I believe that the safest way to avoid "equal betting", "irregular play" and "hedge betting" is to avoid their casino in the first place. I thought "regular play" was a bad thing as "over 4000 players played EXACTLY the same way" but now "irregular play" is on the FU clause as well.

We (I suppose I should not talk for others)...... I see this as blatant theft. This person was in the middle of playing and had not even finished when the casino shut down thier account and kept their winnings AND deposit AND bonus. How can this be anything but rogue?

While I understand a willingness to give one of the oldest and largest casino groups some benefit of the doubt, player fraud simply doesn't account for FL's actions.

Fraud, like bonus hunting, has always been around since casinos started offering bonuses. If a deal is good some people will always try to do it more than once. FL know and knew all of this - as I said before, pleading ignorance isn't an option for them.

What they decided to do was to take money from anyone who played their bonuses intelligently. Sure, they knew they'd also catch fraudsters in the net, but they were entirely aware that they'd be cheating a large number of players who met all of their terms and conditions out of winnings. Presumably they calculated that it would be profitable enough to outweigh the inevitable bad publi...

13 pending. That's not good since most of these were submitted before my departure on 30 March.

Actually, I think eCOGRA have been positive here. If they would just come out openly to say that the "catch-all term" is unacceptable and then consistently ignore it when dealing with claims they might yet be a worthwhile organisation.

Fortune Lounge not paying players and leaving it to eCOGRA to sort out their mess, however, is unacceptable. As before, they should have one last chance to apologise and promise not to claim "bonus abuse" as an excuse for non-payment in future. If they don't, they should be rogued (on the basi...
