I pity the novice players who don't realize what is going on and accept the 10% bonus, only to get screwed upon cashout later.
Phantom bonus gets removed from the account when doing a cash in. A Sticky bonus is put back into the account when doing a cash in. Thus a sticky bonus can be replayed whereas a phantom bonus is gone once a cash in is done.

could you provide me with a link?

Maybe they read this site, I was paid the day after I posted this message here.
Went to back to playing with what I had left in my account and needlless to say, lost everything, but that was my fault since I only play with "live" dealer games.
I will keep this casino on my list as playable.

I see more and more playtech started to use "phantom" bonuses, with huge WR attached to it.
The best way to deal with them is NOT to play there. If you happened to deposit some money and got those "bonus", don't waste your time and money! Just withdraw your deposit and never go back. Let them eat the transaction fees!
I hope if everyone does the same, that will teach them a lession.

By receiving this I am forced into wagering a minimum of 8X(P+B) or ALL WINNINGS AS WELL AS BONUS is lost. Bets placed on Roulette, Baccarat, Craps, and Sic Bo do not count toward the wager requirement.
The bonus is PHANTOM- not sticky- as it is also removed IF I am able to meet wagering and ask for a withdrawal.
Any comp (loyalty points) redemmed also are subject to 8x wagering and any COMP points are PHANTOM and CANT be withdrawn and any redeemed are removed before withdrawal.
IF, after meeting these requirements, you still have winnings the payment is delayed. Withdrawals at USA Casino normally take 4 days to process before being approved. NOT PAID BUT APPROVED.
WHEN I questioned these policies my comp point account was promptly changed from 95 comp p... | | Read Entire Entry |
