Enticing promo banners but tncs that make these promos largely useless and these tncs aren't obvious from looking at banners. Upon click they redirect you to login/registration page whereas I feel click on to banner should redirect user to that particular promo's tnc.

Most of the banners are linked with affiliate code, so obviously it will bring you to a login/registration page. It is to ensure that people who got interested by the promo banner and wanted to try the promo will be register under the person who put the banner. It would be a waste of the person's effort if the person who got interested will not be registered under his code. Besides, you can always check the terms and condition of the promo anytime.

I am not one of those who are casino bonuses fans since I already know the conditions behind these bonuses and how hard it is to meet those requirements, casino operators are businessmen. and all their after is the revenue there will generate from the activities of the player on their sites.

-And bonuses are one of the ways the casinos get and keep players under the condition to wager some certain amount to fulfil their obligations.

It's part of a promotion trick I have seen one casino that offers huge amounts of bonuses but you have to sign up to read how to claim it, not only casinos are doing it, it's very prevalent on investment sites like MLM and even exchanges are doing this for the reader to sign up out of curiosity.
I think its called call to action method you need to sign up to read the info or get the bonus, all membership sites employ the best and proven method to increase memberships then they will send you tons of promos in their newsletter, a neat trick but it always works.

This has been the strategy of many casinos, though I see some banners specifically state there about the terms and conditions apply, maybe you can just direct on that or the site should really include that on their marketing post. Its good to know this first before you participate, you can know if you can accomplish the task just to qualify for the bonus, you might realized later on that its not worth it, especially if you see the requirements.

It doesn't make sense for the redirect to the particular promo's T&C. It is still on us as gamblers or consumers to read the T&C first before we sign up to this so called casino for their bonuses or promos.

I won't say it's a trick on their side, but that is one part of their business though. You can point your hands on them because of this trickery, but I think it's legally bound for them to do that. Worse in offline, or whatever kind of business because the T&C are written in very small font that it's hard to read for the majority of us. So if you are really a responsible gambler, then read it very carefully in the beginning so that you won't get into the problems later.

I stumbled over many banners like that instead of the information on the promotion you are compelled to sign up so you can see the promotion info, this is a method employed by casinos and it proved to be successful in generating more signs up because you will be curious on the promotion so you have no choice to sign up, it's your choice anyway
if the casino is good and the promotion is really good then sign up and avail of that promo.

It's a valid point from a player's perspective but it just defeats the purpose of casino's promotion if a potential users is discouraged by the terms and conditions that pops up after clicking the banner. Maybe they could add a disclaimer on their marketing material like putting the text "terms and conditions apply" so it's up to the user to check it. I think that's a good compromise to your remark.

Many if us that are gamblers most time we don't bother ourselves on reading through the terms and conditions of the casino we are using that is why many gamblers always come back to complain about casinos of nit treating them the way they deserve. I always try my best to check for the terms and conditions of a gambling platform so I can be aware of what will be my role or what I would be expecting if anything happens to my account or my bets. There are some casinos that don't pay gamblers below 18 years. All these need to be known by gamblers.

I try to understand your intent and purpose. It seems you misunderstood, because to go to the bonus page that you clicked on from the casino promo banner, you will be directed to the login/registration link. which means, if you are not a member of the casino that displays the promo. you must meet the main requirements first, namely, by registering. after that, you will be directed to the promo that has been offered which comes from the promo banner of a particular casino. or, just maybe, as the other members assumed. maybe, this is just a bait from the casino to increase the attractiveness of new users. at least, if it appeals to you. there is nothing wrong, if you try to register. or vice versa, just ignore it.

In my opinion, free cheese comes only in a mousetrap. Even if a casino offers a welcome bonus with certain conditions to attract new customers, it only shows that they are following a strategy that involves reinvesting part of their profits in further development. And if you seriously consider all these bonuses, it becomes clear that all this is nothing more than a marketing campaign.

These companies are offering free money in many cases, however the catch is you better read the instructions well to understand any pitfalls or where you can get caught out. Like you might be able to unlock a $100 free bet, but it will require your *first bet only* to be $100 - after that point you have lost the ability to access that particular welcome bonus. You have to break these casino / bookmaker offers into two categories - major companies that can afford to offer big bonuses with low barriers to entry and smaller companies which use very manipulative wording in their promotion or have such high requirements to unlock the money that it's not even worth pursuing - it requires a bit of detective work and experience to determine which it is.

This is not a casino thing, actually.
This kind of advertisement has existed during many years, businesses highlight the part of the promotion which is more effective to attract new clients and when the client or new user signs up, then they stumble onto the full terms and conditions of the offer.

It reminds the offers and promotions given by Binance, there was one which on the ad it promised to gift 5 BUSD, but after logging, one would realize that some trading volume was require to claim the bonus.

Same with the defunct FTX (or Kucoin, I don't remember exactly), they had a bright ad claiming to give away up to 1000$ to new users, those who took the offer found out they actual money was being given as credit on the futures wallets and required some deposit first.

All this is a business, and no successful business in history has given anything for free in that scale, let us remember. Wink

If you click the banners, it proves that the banners are not useless because it what banners are created for.
To make people attracted to click it and to find about it more in the website.
Anyway banners are useless or not is not from our perspective, it should be from the casino's perspective because it is part of their marketing strategy.
It will be useless if no one click the banners but it will be something useful if many people click the banners.

I've noticed the same thing, and it's both puzzling and frustrated. When you click on a visually enticing banner, only to find hidden terms and conditions, you feel cheated. Companies appear to be hiding information from customers on purpose in order to avoid liability for any problems that may arise. Consumers have a right to know exactly what they are agreeing to, and this behavior is totally unacceptable. Do we have any leverage to force these companies to be more transparent with their advertising? I'm curious if you've had any luck shedding light on these strategies.

for me this is how promotional banners work to always lead to the signup section. we as gamblers or people who have been in gambling for a long time should know how these promotional banners work and for a gambler we usually already know the method before registering on certain sites like for example, I first entered one of the promotional banners and I tried to press the banner button and directed at registration. at that time, as a gambler, I usually always go to the T&C section before registering.

so actually that's how promotional banners work and it's like part of the strategy that every casino does to attract the attention of new potential customers.

I do not think that these banners are "useless" perse like what you mentioned OP. Again, the purpose focuses on gaining attraction and users are not compelled to follow these certain TNCs in the first place.

I meant promos that banners promote are useless.

A banner may say, deposit and get $100 bonus but after checking terms you realize it's not as straightforward as it appears.

Consider it advertising. It's usually just a lie, there are times it can be true and sometimes not.
But whoever did it either a casino or any company had achieved his goal, to make you curious and click the banner. Whether you signup or not, he may made you look and read.

if what they are saying is true though then it's too good. Even if you really got the $100 after the deposit, the terms and conditions will always be disappointing. The gamblers who had been in gambling for years may have given up to those promos.

You can't get banned because you're on the hunt for bonuses, what gets you banned is the way you behave that seems suspicious to them which is against their rules, if you're banned then you have no right for participating in any bonus or giveaway promos including the ones you've received before getting banned, so the best advice here for you to enjoy anything called bonus is to maintain your normal standard as a regular gambler with all loyalty to their system by staying away from anything that can makes you go against their casino rules.

This has been exercising for years and not just on casinos. The thing with this case on casinos are likely for the whales if they post an enticing banner and not for the shrimps. It's all a clickbait but if you know how this works then just don't proceed, you know it will just be lost in the first place considering most of it are impossible to withdraw, the wagering term is outrageous.

Actually the promo banner at the casino when clicked for registration is one of the casino's strategies to attract the attention of customers when they first enter the casino.
I agree with what you said, when a new customer clicks on the promo banner, they should be directed to the T&C section so that they read all the terms and conditions at the casino so they don't violate the casino rules.

This is one of those instances where banners and promotional ads attract users in order to gain traffic from this gambling website. Without any of these promotional ads, these gambling companies would struggle to gain traction from its users. Also, as a pre-requisite to this given bonuses, these people must abide, follow, and register on their gambling website. This also follows that they have to agree with their conditions (e.g. KYC, information, etc.).

I do not think that these banners are "useless" perse like what you mentioned OP. Again, the purpose focuses on gaining attraction and users are not compelled to follow these certain TNCs in the first place.
