Actually what's funny about the scam accusation still against Bit Starz is now Soft Swiss has the max bet system put into place for well over the last month. I'm not sure where you folks have come up with that they don't have a max bet system put in place.
Sure it was put in later down the road, but it is there now. So now that accusation is now invalid. What's next?
I really give Soft Swiss credit for stepping up the plate and implementing this system, at least there listening to there players. Compared to some gambling sites where they don't listen at all.
Topic: Avoid Casinos With Max Bet Rules - page 4. (Read 2097 times)
having bonus and a max bet rule doesn't mean automatically the site is bad and should be avoided. the bonus is a way of advertising and all these restrictive rules such as max bet and many more are there to prevent abuse of the bonuses. you can't just make a deposit, get the bonus and then withdraw! there needs to be a mechanism to prevent a big amount of money exiting the site just like that.
but the problem is that this "mechanism" is always in favor of the house and it is strictly designed which is why players are never going to get that amount out.
some casinos being scam and using this promotion tactic to scam people is another story though.

I am thinking that too because with my experience whether it is faucet funds or not when I am going to do a max my bet I am always losing so I think don't go to the max bet because you will just lose your money. And another before you are going to deposit in a site read the terms first because you can loss your money just like you said before.
STAY AWAY!!! MBIT voided my winnings stating I bet over .025 btc max bet rule. I tried to explain to CS agent Danielle that the terms states .025 is for FREE SPIN bonuses and NOT deposit bonuses as seen here.
Yeah, a leaf out of bitstarz book. It's pretty bullshit. It's not listed on their ToS, but on a separate page (bonuses terms) and under the (wrong) section called "free spins".
If they can't use software to reject the bet (it's literally an if statement..) and they use it to void winnings, it's insanely predatory.

max bet rules is a way of giving the house a bit of favoritism but it is a way of protecting themselves against people that try to take advantage of certain playing tactics . i dont agree with the max rule that many have started using but looking at things from the other perspective it does make just a small amount of sense on why they are putting it in place
I won't be playing at any casino that has this .025 btc max crap in place.
Some casinos fix the maximum bet to protect their investor's interest but 0.025 BTC is very small amount. I don't think anyone will choose if a site has got such a small maximum limit for playing. I will consider playing unless their maximum limit is reasonable amount otherwise I just avoid and play on other sites.
That said, I think people should avoid using bonuses in general. In almost all cases they're carefully designed to benefit the casino, while giving the player the impression it's good.
This is the best answer on casino bonusses.
They are useless!
That is correct these bonuses are almost no use for players. These sites basically want to attract more and more people to their site so they usually come up with many different promotions with some wagering requirements. Those requirements most of the time almost impossible to achieve. Before depositing money carefully check the terms of getting those bonus amount.
Bonus is a trick to bust players' funds, it looks like beautiful thing but it is indeed a trap.
Bonus max rule is bullshit, bitstarz never reminds players, but when they win, they fucking ban their accounts.
They do it to prevent martingale. It doesn't work, though..
More generally, it's an effective way of stoping high-variance playing styles. Let's say they give you a 1 BTC bonus, they'll typically design the play-through requirement such that you won't be able to withdraw you unless you have expected loss of >1 BTC (often as high as 5 or so). However, because of variance peoples actual loses aren't equal to their expected loss, and it's possibly if they're lucky they'll make a nice profit. That wouldn't be good for the casino, so what to minimize the variance they want to forcing you to play a very large amount of very small bets. This makes it exceedingly rare to make more than your expected loss.
Which is pretty much why I in general advise people to avoid accepting bonuses (and often the sort of places that like to mislead their customers into taking them). Instead of having fun with your money, you're often dragged into effectively turning over fake money until you end up losing it.

If it's software enforced (e.g. you get an error if trying) it's not so bad. What was *a lot* worse was when dodgy sites like bitstarz would review the play history of large winners, and if they violated that rule (even trivially) they would confiscate the entire account balance for "terms of service" violation.
So at least if it's software enforced, you don't run the risk of losing your entire account balance due to a mistake (or not reading the fine print).

More and more casinos are adding this crappy .025 max bet rule with bonuses. I will be avoiding these casinos as they are predatory terms. If you accept a bet you should pay a bet. It seems most swiss soft casinos are adding this term. Just the amount of bonus wagering requirement alone, is heavily in the casino favor and to restrict someone to just .025 max bet is wrong. Especially if they are a table game player.
