i quit playing BJ on here when i realized i couldnt martingale anymore starting at about 1c bets up to a few hundred or more in real money because at the time, they raised the min bet from 0.000001 bitcoin to 0.0001 bitcoin, making it about $1 min bet instead of 1c minimum bet which is way too high if all u want to do is sit and use the martingale system. which often makes u lose by the way.
the other day i logged in and noticed i had 0.0001 bitcoin still in unused funds so i went and bet it, happened to win, and checked to see if i could reduce my bet and was shocked to find out i could bet 0.000001 bitcoin at blackjack again. i have no idea when it switched back to the old way.
so i decided to deposit $20 worth of bitcoin on here, and oddly enough, found a lot more than that when i logged in and wondered if too much had been sent in error but had no way to check, since the money sent to my coinroyale came from the sealswithclubs poker site id withdrew from instead of my blockchain wallet.
Yeah, we initially increased the minimum bet as part of an experiment but after getting some feedbacks in the forum and also from our regular players, we decided to drop back the minimum bet to 100 satoshis again. We also regularly do money drop campaign (e.g putting some btc in the player account) to reward our past players so yes sometimes when you logged back in, you'll see more money in your account.
then went i went to my bonus programs, i couldnt find anything listed stating my progress on the bonus. but after getting on this forum and reading the above post from this guy, i just learned all the rules and conditions i couldnt find anywhere else, but it seems from reading this it was on the email ive now discarded and can no longer find in my trash folders.
i still have no idea how to find out my progress, or when i can cash out its NOT listed in my bonus programs, only OLD deposits made a couple years back or more.
i did go to withdraw, and it says i can only withdraw 0.001928 bitcoin and my deposit was 0.001686 bitcoin which they doubled immediately and is now at 0.007100 bitcoin (yes im up a little).
how did they come up with this figure as the amount i could withdraw instead of 0.001686?
i could play here for months and years and never withdraw. it used to be people didnt get screwed because the bonus was NOT GIVEN Out upfront years ago. when i last played, it was only given out once earned and it usually expired by the time id earned about 10 percent or less. but i could always withdraw my entire balance and all the winnings. it was a whole lot better and honest and more trustworthy site then, and i think Victor if he is still alive and in charge, should comprehend.
never trust a site which puts the entire bonus in the account upfront.
or refuses to let u withdraw winnings. id much prefer i not get a bonus than to not be allowed to withdraw winnings, and im sure its true for almost everyone. there is no way i know of to play without getting a bonus to prevent this. but it sure it a scam to cheat the players who havent been on in years and wouldnt know its been changed.
these terms and conditions say 35 times rollover and only 5% of the bets u make on blackjack count. so if blackjack is all u play, that means 700 times rollover. which means it would take many many years to withdraw. am i understanding this right? or to bet so big it would be impossible to not lose the whole balance before u could cash out.
We changed our bonus program to instant (from incremental) based on the feedbacks and to provide a better player experience. Unfortunately, like what you have confirmed, it opens to lots of abuse and unfortunately we have to add in the limiting factor such as the 5% contribution rate, and max bet terms to cut down the abuse for the bonus program.
