Today I opened 1 account at Scratch Cash from here,then I got 20 scratch cards direct I won a little .I contact the support via chat because I didn't knew what the wagering was,xxxxxx(the support) said it was 50x the amount I just won,ok I continue to play on slots but I loosed everything.I saw another site Top Scratch so I opened an account there from here also and I got 50 bucks in my account so I chat direct whith them,what a suprise,he also had the same name as the other one in the other casino I just wrote,he told me that I had to make a deposit and then I have to wagering these 50 bucks 50 times! I told him this was a no deposit needed not a depositbonus.I ask him if I play now and have a luckyday in here and have 10 000bucks in my account,and then make a deposit must I then only have to wagering these 50 bucks I got from you for opening an account,he said no you have to wagering it 50 times.So I told him to finish my account there because it wasn't a no depositbonus,I can't play inthere before I make a deposit,and if I played and won more I have to wagering more when I make a deposit,so that's why I finished my account there!

Thanks for your information and experience at those companies,hopefully it will help someone else in the future. It's too late for you but another example of neglecting to read the terms before you play,I hope all you lost was some time but unfortunately most of these scratchcard based firms are not the best place to gamble.If you want to buy scratchcards from a regulated company it is probably best to go to your own countries' main lottery providers or from an accredited casino that you know and trust. There are lots of no deposit offers on this site for casinos and probably most do scratchcards but just check the terms before you buy any cards,some good casinos like winner,betfred,coral and william hill will give you some good bonuses,especially first deposit.As long as you read the terms you will not have problems with decent firms.

Yeah thanks for your update those shits happens with casinos and their wagering amount is huge so as it will takes longer to roll over and thus more chance for you to lose your bankroll. My advice is to join those no deposit bonus and try your luck and if they ask you to deposit do not. Just deposit if you managed to roll it over and won some money. Anyway good luck mate at the casinos you will need it as it is a mug game and house has the edge! Cheers good luck but do not deposit ever as you don't have the edge!

Never take a bonus no matte what bonus that is, if they are asking you to wager your own deposit. There are casinos out there that have this condition in small letters somewhere in their general terms. And when you depoist.... thats it. Say your money good bye.

I agree mober,bonuses these days are nearly always a guaranteed way to lose your deposit.There a few of the big name casinos that offer decent deals,such as x5 wagering but most are now always over 30. There are a couple of exceptions where I take the bonus but only if the wagering is 20x and you get 150% or higher,the only reason I accept is because I will be playing for fun and to keep me occupied for a hour or two.My deposit will only be about £20 and I write that off as soon as I deposit but if I clear the wagering and if I am in profit then I withdraw or transfer immediately.I play mostly playtech and with them usually you have some really good wins and clear the wagering easily or you just lose quite quickly.
