DazThomas86 Posted 29 December, 2016 Share Posted 29 December, 2016 Hey guys, tonight i deposited £100 and got a £100 welcome bonus on Royal Panda... I dipped below the £100 'cash balance' so i was now into the bonus money, i then managed to get the balance up to over £600! But i realised the wagering wasn't going up when i was staking. I read the T's&C's before i deposited but i guess they didn't really explain very well... You can't complete the wager with bonus balance once you have gone into the bonus money, you have to deposit again and use your own money to complete the wagering, it's the first time i have ever heard of this so i was quite shocked, So now i'm sat with over £600 on the site and no way of wagering it unless i deposit again and wager £3500 I guess i just wanted to let people know to ALWAYS read T's&C's VERY carefully! Lesson learned! I don't think i want to get obsessed with depositing my own money to complete this wager so i may have to give up this bonus balance Any thoughts guys? Darren Link to comment
Skylined87 Posted 30 December, 2016 Share Posted 30 December, 2016 That's why you always read T&C upon taking a bonus on ANY casino. It took me less than 30 seconds to see this clause which is very clear to me: - Wagering requirements can be met with cash balance bets I have never seen terms like this and it makes the bonus really useless in my opinion. I'm sorry that you had a bad experience, but as you said - lesson learned. I personally wouldn't bother to complete the wagering. But on the other hand you could do some high bets and go crazy, who knows maybe you hit big (over the WR) and then deposit money to clear the WR and still be in profit Just a thought. Link to comment
Slotplayer Posted 30 December, 2016 Share Posted 30 December, 2016 I agree with Skylined87. Once you dip into the bonus fund you need to really go for it with high bets (be careful of the maximum bet rule though) and hope for the best. If you manage to increase the balance substantially, do a calculation if it is worthwhile making a deposit to clear the wagering. Link to comment

Hey Skylined I saw that quote you gave about ' Wagering requirements can be met with cash balance bets' but although it was 'very clear to you' it wasn't very clear to me, maybe if they put Wagering requirements can be met ONLY with cash balance bets that would of made it much clearer for the punter. Anyway lesson learned as i said i will be reading T's&C's twice the next time i deposit at a different casino site lol Link to comment

Hey Slotsplayer, I did decide to play on with the bonus balance a little bit, played 4 slots at the same time with a bigger bet size than i normally would do, dropped down to £300 but then had a couple big wins and now the bonus balance is just over £1000 which makes it much more tempting now to deposit my own money and attempt to clear the wager Thanks for the input guys Link to comment

DazThomas86 Posted 30 December, 2016 Author Share Posted 30 December, 2016 Here's the AWESOME update I decided to just go for it, i deposited £250 to go for that wager! I have been wagering all day and just this minute smashed that wagering and now sit with a £1400 CASH balance so happy with that, it will be cashed out ASAP. Link to comment
