New York Casino and Bet Fred Casino: Beware!
 

Hidden deep in the Bet Fred T&C it states that to receive their new 15x(D+B) bonus (clearable by blackjack) you must deposit in your home currency (canadians, that means CAD$) not GBP like affiliates recommend.

New York Casino: Pretty much scammers, nowhere on their site (confirmed by customer service) does it say Blackjack does not count towards the WR for their 200$ deposit 212$ bonus 20x(B+D)WR bonus. However when trying to cash out, customer service mentions that it is a restricted game, although they have no source for this. I got screwed after having completed the 8240$ WR and can't cash out. Also their customer service is awful.

Watch out for these ones guys.

I was about to do Bet Fred.

If my Neteller was in USD, why would I have to do it in CAD?

Re: New York Casino and Bet Fred Casino: Beware!
 

If you are canadian, Bet Fred requires you to choose the currency of your country, which would be CAD$. Neteller will then edge you on the currency conversion fee.

The problem is I already had an account at BF for poker, and that was in USD...

A 200 Peso bonus doesn't sound so hot.

Re: New York Casino and Bet Fred Casino: Beware!
 

I was about to post about this too.

I played betfred last weekend and made my account in GBP(though I should've done it in euros). got the bonus and worked it up to 460 so £360 profit for 2 hours work. I then went to check the t&c again to make sure I didn't violate anything when I found this another page which had like 10 more rules.

They've actually changed the part now about the currency but if you brake it:

"Failure to comply with these rules will result in the removal of bonus funds, ALL winnings will be withheld and your account closed"

luckily they didn't notice this in time and I got the money in my neteller. I received an email 24hrs later stating I won't get anymore bonuses.

Yup, I already had a USD account with betfred for poker, livechat told me that means I'm not eligable for the casino bonus as it has to be home currency ;-(
