What's the scoop on these "Play 15 minutes, keep your winnings" offers

[Pokerlicious]

Hey there, I did a search over the last 3 months but couldn't find anything...I have been getting tons of emails for these types of offers. Has anyone done them? Are they worth anything?

Thanks in advance.

Scams imo.

You can use these as great sticky bonuses /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

They are usually limited to $200 of bonus money that is transferred from the "bonus" game casino into the real casino. You will then have to make a minimum deposit into the real side of the casino and then clear a further waging requirement.

So if you get $200 of your bonus money into the real casino + your $20 deposit you will now have $220 to play with. Hit the roulette to double up a few times, if you lose, you'll lose $20.. if you double up twice you'll have $880 to play out the waging requirement with. Some i've seen you can even cash out anytime leaving the bonus money behind.

I've never actually done one of these, but seen many an offer. The 'winnings' usually aren't really yours. The money you 'win' becomes a bonus that must be played off at a very high wr. Also, I believe most are slots only as well.

I did one at platnium casino. Now with the WR so high basically the only way you can make a profit is if you hit a big win at the slots and cash out. That's what I did, won 100 pounds over my account, and it is allowed for cash out.

Same here. I "won" a $200 bonus and within 10 minutes hit a slot machine for $400 and cashed out, leaving $200 of uncleared bonus behind.
