Well done.
It is silly for them to ban any games at all. They have the ability to ban certain types of betting patterns. If, for example, a player put a bet on both come and don't come in craps it would be eas... | | Read Entire Entry |

Bonus abuser are con artists. They do charge back, create many accounts and try to claim bonus more than once. Casinos should protect themselves against these thieves and ban them for good.
"Bonus hunters", however, are just normal players. They follow the rules and they risk their money. There is nothing wrong about it. If I define anyone who take bonus as "bonus hunters" then I am sure everyone is "bonus hunters".
The term "bonus hunters" is often used by casinos as an excuse for not paying. Whenever you see casinos use the term "bonus hunters", more often than not these casinos are in bad shape. As a matter of fact they will not pay anyone at all.

Careful what you say.
Some casinos define bonus abusers ery loosely. There is no such thing as bonus abuse when the terms of the promotion is fullfilled and no fraud is involved.
Some people will play exactly the required amount and ery smart, some will play smart and a bit over, some a lot over, and some will be clueless in how they play and play till they lose everything. Some will bet the minimum on every bet and some will shoot the entire session amount on one bet.
None of them are bonus abusers.

Kudos for Lasseters!!
I absolutely understand your position regarding bonus hunters that are not willing to take any risk, removing BJ strictly was not the right step here however...
You have tried, learned and reacted again in a ery nice manner! Customers will appreciate it!!

Hi All,
My name is Matthew Hutchins and I am the Player Development Coordinator with Lasseters Online. Please allow me to elaborate on the situation and set the record straight as to our final decision on the matter.
Initially, we excluded Blackjack, Roulette, Sic Bo & Baccarat from the games which contribute to promotional turnover requirements in an attempt to reduce the number of players participating in strategies allowing them to meet turnover and withdraw promotional funds with little risk.
Due to receiving ast amounts of feedback from existing loyal, reliable & alued players, Blackjack once again contributes to the turnover requirements for ALL promotions. Our pages have been updated to reflect the change and the details can be found here:
Sign-up Bonus & $10 Free Cash Offer
Existing Player Promotions
It was, in effect, a test to see how the situation would pan out. The responses we received in regards to the changes we... | | Read Entire Entry |

Greek,
The offer you received is legit. Blackjack has been removed from the list of excluded games connected with the 30% Neteller promotion. Only SicBo, Roulette, and Baccarat remain on that list.
As I write this, players accepting a "sign up" bonus offer still may not play blackjack to satisfy the wagering requirement associated with that offer.
Hopefully this will soon change. Lasseters is too good a casino to be losing new players as a result of this silly rule.
However, in just the last few days, Lasseters management has removed its blackjack exclusion on all other bonus offers. That's the good news for now.

Hmmm my experience with lasseter is ery different.
I have tried to create an account with them months ago. My account was locked right after I filled my information.
They asked me to send ID, driver license etc to them. After that they updated my account information as "broze". When I tried to log in, I still cannot.
After 7-8 email, eventually I gave up. It's so difficult to open an account, maybe they don't want US. players?
Now I totally forgot what's my account number or passwords are, and I don't miss them.

I see SOOO many big winners, yet I play all the time and I never see any one win big, nor have I seen these big winners at the tables.......
Pokerkidd has a large following in Norwegian poker circles:

Basically, they're discussing his balance and how he got it and if he's a pro poker player. They're impressed with his play ("baller a stål", literally, balls of steel).

Why is such a big Casino trying to adopt any ideas of any other Casino at all?? Should not they be supposed to lead the market with their own, invetive ideas?!

Right. I just noticed the change. Too bad. No Blackjack = No Play.
What must management be thinking? They have a streaky but fair blackjack game. The no-peek rule gives them a little extra advantage, but the game is fast and enjoyable.
Now this ridiculous change.

I just signed up for this Casino a couple days ago, ready to make my first deposit.
I then realized that EVERY useful game has been excluded from their promotions but Videopoker, which has a short-pay here.
It did not take me long that making any deposit here makes absolutely no sense. Slots are not my game of choice.
Definetely I expected this big and known Casino to offer something better. -Very disappointing.
