I just won in the 500$ free spins the maximum of 100$. Afterwards I had a conversation about the Bonus structure with a guy from the Casino Classic support. I did this on purpose because I couldn't believe I would get an instant 100$ after a deposit of at least 20$. I found out that if I deposit 20$ I have an overall of 120$. BUT FOR PAYING OUT THE ADDED 100$--> For an overall of 300$ in placed bets I receive 10 $ of my 100$ bonus (30 to 1 payout) and the min payout from the site is 50$. So actually you need to play small stakes slots and hope you stay in a ratio of 20$ until you have placed an overall of 3000$ in bets without losing more than 100$. After having placed 3000$ in bets your allowed to pay out whats left from the 100$, but only if you have an overall of 50$ left as the 100$ are being added as payout money in 10 $ steps.

Just to have this in mind for future sign ups to casino's with a promotion like this.
Every casino that gives you money to play for an hour, its not a no deposit bonus. You need to deposit money in order to get credited the money you got from the bonus, plus go through a playthrough, which most of the times is a big one, in order to cash out money.
Most of the times if not all, you will see that depositing directly and getting a deposit bonus, is easier to go through playthrough and cash out. gl

Quite normal Microgaming bonus rules.Of cause the bonus is designed in a way, that the player on average will lose the whole bonus money while grinding through the wagering.

I don't think many of those casino bonuses are worth it. I can't say I blame the sites cos their whole purpose is to make money. If it was easy to clear the bonus or if it didn't require you to deposit your own money then they would lose money in the long term. You are playing against the casino not other players. So even if you find a good bonus you will always have to risk your own money.
But if you are the kind of person who enjoys gambling without using your brain then you may as well take the bonus. I admit that I have enjoyed gambling at a casino, where at least you get the atmosphere and the buzz but to gamble everyday online without any skill, with the odds stacked against you and with games as boring as slots, I don't think it's ever worth the time put in.
These days there's no such thing as free money when it comes to casinos so you should only take a bonus if you want to play that many hours.

Yep. The times of the good casinobonus offers are long gone. There may still be some money to be made, even with this one, but the players have to be willing to risk more of their own cash.

Slotmachines in real casino take away about 5% of bets, so with 3000 betting you lose 150. Very few people can take those bonuses profitable, so not worth to try. Usually all those "big" offers like 500 to start, are waste of time.

That is not at all true...
Slotmachines highest payout is about 95% but they can be as low as 50% or even lower I owned some slotmachines and they can easely be turned in to money eaters
Also when a slot machine gives you a big price and you choose to play more with your winnings on that slot without paying out the slot wil still count the win as a payout what lowers the winchances even more
So slotmachines are just the wrong game to choose if you wanne make a profit i the long run
Yes you can win a nice bonus or even a jackpot so when you play for fun its well...fun

The thing is that most of the times when the payout is 95%, its not you that the silly machines are paying lol. Ive been to a few real casinos and had my share of good luck and won some money, but not an amount that will allow me to play often and stay on the + side.
Unless you hit one of those big jackpots which all of us trying to.

Do never play slots thinking to make a profit
Well, by 95% i took the best option there is. and even then you lose statisticle more than you get the bonus. and so it goes, if macine is on 90%, you lose 300 to make 3000 of bets and so on and so on. most of big casinos, who wants to have customers, have their macine son 95, sometimes even on 97 %. i never owned slotmachine, but i worked at casino 10 years

No sense playing casino games, just waste of money. Bonuses are designed that in average, you lose the bonus plus a bit of your own money before you can withdraw. Casinos know the math and mathematics don't lie.
100 for free
