Golden Palace - 200% Bonus

[Thinker]

Thats right ... 200% bonus up to $200, anyone tried it ?
How difficult is it to accumulate enough points to cashe them out ?

Credits issued during the promotional period MUST be wagered FOUR (4) times the total amount deposited (credits purchased + promotional bonus) BEFORE making any withdrawal. (For example, if you play two hands of Poker and wager 5 credits on each, this represents a total of 10 credits wagered. If you win one of these hands and lose the other, your credit balance will remain the same; the amount wagered (10 credits) counts toward fulfilling your promotional obligation).

Only 4x? Am I missing something, that seems too low.

All PLAY BONUS credits are for wagering purposes only. No withdrawal will be honored for an amount less than the PLAY BONUS. Upon your FIRST withdrawal (regardless of the number of deposits), any amount up to the equivalent value of the PLAY BONUS will be deducted from your play balance or winnings prior to settlement. The first credits wagered will be deducted from your deposit(s) rather than from the PLAY BONUS.

You can't cashout the bonus. It is only there for playing.

lame.

are most casinos like that? I noticed that many give out 200%+ bonuses, and thought it was a little odd to give away that kind of money. I looked through prism casino and found this:

Bonuses are up to 25% fully cashable. The maximum amount which can be cashed out in bonus money is $300.
Bonuses from 26% to 199% are totally non-cashable. Upon approval of cash out request, the bonus will be left in the account for you to play and win and you can cash out a one time winning from this. At the time of this additional cash out approval, the bonus amount will be removed from the account.
All bonuses of 200% or more are totally non-cashable.

I guess i dont get it, its non-cashable, but they say "the bonus will be left in the account for you to play and win and you can cash out a one time winning from this."

Can i get clarification?
Cool cat casino has similar rules

Bonuses under 50%: If you wish to play Blackjack, Multi-Hand Video Poker, Regular Video-Poker and War, the wagering requirements are 20 (twenty) times. In Case a bonus under 50% is fully cashable, then Multi Hand Video Poker has a 35 (thirty five) time playthrough.

Bonuses of 100% or more are NON CASHABLE and have a maximum cash out of 10 (ten) times the amount of the deposit, unless previous agreement with management. Any special agreement will be confirmed by e-mail.

Well, i dont get it. Does it mean that if i deposit $100 and get a $100 bonus, i can only cash out $1000 that i won with my own money? To be more realistic....I deposit $100, they give me $100. I play for a while with the $200, and get to $350. I can only withdrawl $250, correct? If so, the bonus is basically a buffer, or means for you to increase your bets...? What if i lose $100, is that considered my money that i lost, or theirs, meaning i could still cash out the remaining $100?

Thanks in advance to any answers or info

The point of this kind of bonus is to deposit 100, get 200 bonus, play one hand of BJ/PG Poker/Whatever at ~ 1:1 and get paid 3:1.

So you play one hand and wager 300 bucks. If you lose you lose 100, if you win you win 300 and can cash out 400 total.

Don't know if I'm allowed to post a link so you should google up "sticky casino bonus whoring" or something like that.

There are many many other casinos that are easier to whore. Only do these when there is nothing left.
