Actually Microgaming wasn't to bad, and then they dropped the US. First it was just that new people from the US couldn't join, then it was, well we'll let the people who've signed up play, but you don't get to play the big jackpot games, and now they've also taken away earned points for spending so much. So yeah, definitely some huge problems there.

Now as far as the 2000+ bonuses, you better believe they're the biggest ripoffs out there. First of all, the money is not free, and that's always ticked me off, when casinos say free, but it really isn't. So let me tell you how they work.

First you're given this huge amount, and then you are given a time limit, usually 45 minutes to an hour. Sounds good so far huh. Well for starters you can only play from a certain amount of slot games, well I'm ok with that, I mean there have to be conditions. Well, when you hit the bonus round, there's no way to speed up the pay out. When you regularly play, you can click the button to get what you've won and not have to wait for the whole thing to pay out, but not when you're in this free round. So what does that mean, well it means that your time gets eaten up.

Second, what you win is how much you're over the 2000 when the time expires. So if you are at 1900 say when the hour is over, you get nothing. I wouldn't even have a problem with this except for the next two conditions.
So lets say you managed to get the 2500 as an example.

Ok so now thirdly, there is a cap on how much you can win, and it's usually less then $250. So in the example of the 2500 above you get $250. And I would even be happy with that, but guess what, that 250 is not yours. What it is, is bonus money.

So fourth, the money you win is bonus money, and in order to have access to it, you need to deposit. UM hello, didn't they call it a no deposit bonus, so whats this bs about needing to deposit. So the casino says well this is how we prevent the abuse. Um yeah that would be true if it wasn't for the 5th part.

Finally or fifth, that bonus money along with your deposit gets added together, and that's right you have a playthrough requirement, usually 20 times.

So let me get this straight, the microgaming place is going to give me a no deposit of x amount of dollars, that I can only win so much that goes into a bonus account, that i in turn really do need to deposit to get and I have to play a playthrough including my deposit that I was never suppose to have to put in, in the first place?
