Internet gambling

It ain't what it used to be. I had been a loser/even money player at this site for a long time. A few weeks ago I won $800. This is how they treated me after sending me a special deal for VIP players, which I am:

"As you noticed in the Cashier, the option for 'Coupons' is no longer available for your casino account. The reason behind this is that as your game history in the casino was reviewed, it has regrettably been noticed that on many occasions you wagered just about enough to complete the wagering requirements for the bonuses you received.

Of course, as long as the wagering requirements are met, you are perfectly allowed to request a withdrawal. However, the attitude of trying to achieve those requirements almost exactly, shows that the interest of the customer is not so much in playing in our tables, but in the bonuses that the casino gives. For this reason, the option of coupons and other automatic bonuses, has been removed from your casino account for this period of time.

As you have not been aware of the above explanation, the coupon WICKED will now be inserted in your casino account but the terms for this coupon will be 15 times the bonus amount plus 15 times the deposit amount (their normal terms are eight times....). If you agree to the change in the terms, please confirm, and we will add the coupon to your account.

Please have in mind that for any further coupon, you have to ask for it via email and it will then be inserted in your casino balance if approved. To avoid any misunderstanding, please note that sometimes this might not be approved.

We apologize for the inconvenience arising from the new regulations concerning your casino account."

By the way, this casino advertises on this site....

I deposited $50 on madbonus casino for a bonus fo $100. Played way more than was required for the bonus. Won a total of $2000, cashed out and after a couple of days found out they took my money "because account found using incorrect gambling behaviour".

Anybody know what I can do about this?

Maybe you should call them. There should be an 800 number on their site somewhere. I've had no trouble on the poker sites getting my money, and I cash out at least once a week.

I did call the number that was on the site. They told me they no longer did the support for madbonus. I said I would try and e-mail them again, although I never got a response to previous e-mails. When I wanted to call them again, the number was no longer on the site.

PS: I have no problems cashing out from poker sites. It's just madbonus.com that apparently doesn't want to pay.

this casino is rigged. Avoid it.

When internet gambling first started, you usually had to play 3 or 4 times the bonus only to get the bonus added and cashin. For "cover" you might play another 1 or 2 times the bonus. These were for $100 to $250 bonuses. Once I got a $500 bonus for a $1000 deposit and $2000 in action.

Nowadays, the very best you can get is 8x(deposit + bonus), and more often it's 15x(dep + bonus).

But at least you got to keep your money. I was stiffed at a couple places, and once had to wait 18 months for $1800. I gave it all up after the Tropica scandal.
