Why Do I Bother To Play Without The Intention Of Winning?

the code was good......BUT.....as usual but a usual that will never happen again. Once again - cocakolakid has to go out and learn the hard way. Fortunately it wasn't too hard to take ....................ummm..actually...ow!

looking back at all the times that i've played back to back freechips, even multiple back to backs...without realizing that at during any of those I might of hit a jackpot or a big payout but the only thing I could do with it is take a screenshot because I've already breached the terms..how silly is that? or rather stupid is that?

I was already up quite a bit - then I hit 2nd big payout of my day..and I was like...before I go any further and waste anymore potential big payouts I had better contact support...please read on...


Gayan: Hello

Gayan: How are you?

Edward: hi i'm good

Gayan: How can I help?

Gayan: Great

Edward: can u tell me if i would be eligible to withdraw once i make the playthrough?

Edward: or do i need to make a deposit?

Gayan: Ok can I have your username please?

Edward: cocakolakid

Gayan: which casino are you playing?

Edward: luckyred

Gayan: Ok

Gayan: Im just checking for you

Edward: ok

Edward: cuz i had the initial $10 free chip...but also got a $50 chip today

Edward: the $10 i played last week..lost it pretty much right away

Gayan: Right im afraid per account is to only have 1 free chip this can cause your winnings to be voided.

Edward: awwww

Edward: and depositing now would do nothing?

Gayan: No

Gayan: What I suggest you to do

Gayan: is finish off the free bonus

Gayan: then make a depsoit

Edward: although i still have to playthrough..its the first time i'm actually winning

Gayan: that way whatever you win you will be able to cash out the winnings

Gayan: I understand but you have breached the terms of use

Edward: can you just wipe the account clean then? and i'll make a deposit

Edward: I don't want to hit another payout while just trying to clear the funds out of the account

Edward: i'd rather clean it out than to see that happen

Gayan: Ok I can do that for you now

Gayan: One sec

Gayan: Ok thats been done for you now

Edward: thanks...can u imaging the pain that would right through if you hit it but can't claim it

Gayan: Yes I can

Gayan: Your welcome

Edward: has it happened to someone?

Edward: can u tell me now what bonus i can claim with a deposit?

Gayan: yes it has

Edward: oh man...ouch!

Gayan: you can use the welcome offer

Edward: that's why i stop right now..cuz u never know

Edward: ok i'll do that

Gayan: If you click on the promotions page

Gayan: you will see all offer available.

Edward: ok

Edward: cool

Gayan: check the terms and conditions

Gayan: if you are happy then redeem the code

Gayan: before you deposit.

Edward: ok

Edward: are they different for each type of bonus?

Gayan: yes

Edward: i can't get the terms for the 400% first deposit

Edward: so if i take this bonus and i hit a jackpot the casino can still say no...and i can't claim it

Edward: actually u are better off not hitting it cuz u can only win $5000

Gayan: What do you mean by that?

Gayan: yes the max cash out is $5000

Edward: see that part...wow that would suck..LOL

Edward: maybe i'll play without any bonus..that way no headaches

Edward: may i ask for your suggestion?

Edward: this is what i think players make a mistake of overlooking cuz its so different from a land casino

Edward: u can buy your chips and get bonuses/promos, when ur done playing you cash out the chips no questions asks..the worst u can get banned from the casino but even then still get to keep what have won - u just can't come back

Edward: sorry for all the questions...but do the terms carry over..for instance i decide to take the 400% bonus..but lose..and then able to either deposit or use a free chip...do i sitll have to playthrough what was left from the 400% and now plus the terms of the freechip?

Edward: Unless stated otherwise, the first three deposit bonuses claimed at Lucky Red Casino are subject to a maximum cash out restriction of $2,000

Edward: "A Splash of Cash
Did you know that our progressive jackpots just keep rising?" this a promotion u have advertising the jackppot yet only can get $2000

Edward: oh nvm....it was went on to advertise getting double comp pts for play the progressives

Edward: Gayan??? r u still there? or was i too much? sorry

Gayan: Sorry one sec

Edward: ok'

Gayan: Ok It is up to you how you would like to play

Gayan: But we do have a lot of players who do not use coupons at all and just play with their own money

Gayan: that way there are no restrictions at all

Edward: yes and they are probably the winners

Edward: lol

Gayan: Well you can still be a winner using coupons

Gayan: the 1st 3 deposits do have max cash out

Gayan: but after 3 deposits most coupon will not have a max cash out with it.

Edward: did u read my message about the 400% bonus? does it carry over?

Gayan: let me just check

Edward: so my 1st 3 deposits regardless if i use a coupon or not have a max. cash out?

Gayan: No if you use a coupon then there is a max cash out

Gayan: if you dont then there are no restrictions at all

Edward: cool

Edward: and you are still checking on the 400% carry over thing

Gayan: you can only use 1 coupon on one deposit

Gayan: so once your balance is at $0 and all games are completed

Gayan: the coupon will clear off your account

Edward: ok just wanted to be clear

Gayan: and you will start fresh again if you made another deposit.

Edward: just dont want to have any regrets like i just did having to wipe the account clean after actually winning

Edward: thanks!

Gayan: Your welcome

--------------------------------

so once again CocaKolaKid learns the hard way... I was up only $5000 from that $50 free chip but still I was up and played through the wager requirements and to think one min. deposit of $20 I could have taken it home - Conclusion - "Play to Win or Don't Play at All"

I'm sorry to hear that mate, I'm afraid to say your not the first and certainly won't be the last.

As for myself and I'm sure lot of others around here, if there's a free chip going at a rtg casino we tend to stay well away from it unless we have deposited and fancy our chances.

On the Club World Group and all these free chip they seem to be giving out just recently, i have to say it worries me a little bit they are resorting to these tatics, they never used to have so many free chips and it makes them seem as though they are following the likes of Cool Cat and alike.

If you want a reliable RTG, try Casino Extreme or Inetbet they are very good RTG casinos, especially Casino Extreme because they process winnings instantly.

Cheers

When you find a free bonus chip code, you immediately run to the casino and try it out to see if it will work for you. When it does, usually the bonus is gone in less time then it took to re-download the casino. lol

But then .... once in a great while you start to play and you start hitting like crazy. You get the amount up to a real nice amount that you want to withdraw and realize you forgot to check the terms and conditions of this bonus you received. ugh

As Boris said, been there done that. LOL I think most of us online gamblers have learned that lesson the hard way. It can be a very hard and costly lesson to learn, however it usually only takes 1 time of having that happen before you learn to check the terms and conditions first. LOL

You are definitely not alone cocakolakid!!!
