Be Wary of Deceitful Bonuses

With recession creeping up on every corner, you really have to be wary in choosing the online casino where you will be playing at.  But because many players first look at the bonuses being offered by the casinos before they register, they oftentimes get hoodwinked into signing up only to find out that the requirements needed to get a hold of the promised bonus are much to steep.

One of the casinos that offer a deceitful signup bonus is the Full Tilt Poker.

100% Match-Up or $100 Signup Bonus

It really does sound good to hear that when you deposit your $100 in Full Tilt Poker, you get to receive $100 as a signup bonus in return, right?  Not if you did not read Full Tilt Poker's fine print first.

Of course, you will receive your 100% match-up bonus that Full Tilt Poker promises its new members, but what they did not tell you in large print is that you are going to get it incrementally.  Aside from this, the poker site has also failed to mention in large print that you still have to play several hands before you get your hands on your signup bonus.

With each hand that you play, you are awarded points, and once you reach a certain number of points, that is the only time that you get to receive a part of the 100% match-up bonus deposited into your account.

24-Hour Customer Service and Support

A big thumbs down for their customer service and support.

Of course, you will receive the customary automated response, saying that the poker site has received your query and acknowledges its receipt, but you can bet your pretty poker dollar that the response from the actual customer service team itself is going to take more than 24 hours.

You can give the poker site credits for a very detailed response, but you should expect that there is going to be too much detail there that it is going to confuse you.  The terms and conditions for claiming the 100% match-up bonus were too confusing that it will probably do you better if you just forfeit your money and leave the poker site for good.

So, for players out there looking for a reliable online casino that offers exciting but no-strings-attached bonuses, you should be wary of poker sites like this.  In fact, make sure that you have read and have understood their terms and conditions for claiming the bonuses before you sign up, confusing though some may be.  It will also do you very well if you read up on reviews done by players who made deposits and availed of the bonuses offered by the different casinos.
