But rules are rules, terms are terms. There's no unfair approach to that as in the first place, the said gambling site isn't forcing anybody to play at their site. I believed the wagering requirement for deposits is not usually mentioned on the terms that's why next time, OP should know what to do and charge that experience as his reference in the future.
True, terms are terms and once we created an account in the site and make a deposit, it means that we are agreeing with the terms.
What players need to do is to read terms before making deposit in order to avoid a complain.
About wagering requirement for deposits, casinos should mention it in their terms page especially if the wagering requirement is high enough.
Correct, Most of the casinos indicate the wagering requirements for deposit under the AML/KYC section or Withdrawal of the ToS because that is what is being used for. A casino that doesn't indicate specific requirements means they don't have wagering requirements for deposits since this kind of thing is just introduced a few years ago. I remember that only Fortunejack casino requires x1 wagering requirements deposit but now almost all casinos with Curacao licenses have these rules to counter potential mixing.
In this case, Trustdice clearly stated under the withdrawal terms that x5 wagering requirements are required to withdraw the balance.
I saw other unusual terms on this casino:
5.6 The maximum withdrawal amount processed to a player is $5,000 per day, $15,000 per week, $50,000 per month unless otherwise specified in the Terms & Conditions of a specific promotion.
How come this casino got whales customers with this kind of withdrawal limit? This sucks tbh including the x5 wagering requirement.
