Reason #5 why the Wizard likes Bovada: Intelligent Bonuses Many online casinos offer huge signup bonuses, but there’s a catch. Buried in the fine print is that play on the most popular games doesn’t count towards earning the bonus. It’s common for play on blackjack, baccarat, roulette, craps, and video poker to be excluded. In many cases, only slots count. And that’s if you can even find the terms and conditions. Many casinos put their 100% bonus in big flaming letters but make you hunt all over their site to find the rules. Bovada allows play on all games to count towards the wagering requirement. It’s that simple. Just no opposite betting. All casinos ought to be as easy as Bovada about this. The bonus offer itself is simple too: on your first deposit, they’ll give you an extra 10%. If you deposit $100, you’ll wind up with $110 in chips or tokens. Finally, in the unlikely event that Bovada feels you’ve been abusing their bonuses they won’t seize your winnings like most other casinos will. In the worst case scenario they will politely tell you that they will not be offering you any future bonuses, but you are welcome to keep playing and keep everything you have made already. |
B3W Casinos WarningLast Update: November 24, 2006 B3W is a brand of Internet casino software. As of this writing casinos using this software are the Yachting Casino, Monte-Casino, Casino Broceliande, Aeroplayer, Casino Solera, and First Royal Casino. Here's a list of casinos using this software. On October 11 and 12, 2006, I performed some statistical tests on a yet to be named video poker game at the Yachting Casino. The results concerned me. After sharing them with customer support they informed me the next day that they were very concerned and would complete a report by the middle of next week. They have since told me they are taking this seriously but the investigation is still ongoing. For now I am making no official accusations until the Yachting Casino/B3W has had a chance to refute my findings. The reader may wish to postpone playing video poker at any casino using B3W software until said report is finished. Stay tuned for more details and further developments. Nov 7 update: Nothing new to report. The B3W group remains in communication but still have no results to report. They did offer to refund my original $400 deposit, which I accepted, and they quickly reversed my funds back to Neteller. Nov 24 update: B3W told me they found a "modification" with the launch of the 10-play Jacks or Better game. I think this modification also affected the 1-play game but they did not confirm or deny this. They claim both games are playing fine now, and the overall return was always in line. It is unclear to me at what date the correction was made. They say that after an examination of their files refunds will be made to affected losing players. |
