Hi SprungDaddy, welcome to the forums, always glad to see another Canadian join the Mob.
Just so you know, that's pretty much industry standard. The terms and conditions are really long, so there's usually an asterix and a note at the bbottom of the ad that says, "Some terms and conditions apply". I know it's annoying but that's one of the ways they prevent people from just making a bunch of accounts to get the free no deposit bonuses.
The other deposit bonus is called a deposit bonus, they pay in increments as you as opposed to just getting them straight away,
That rep didn't explain it very well, but there are lots of free money offers here, or gift offers which are much better.

Hi SprungDaddy
Welcome to BRM, pos for points, play the mobgames, blablabla...
888.com denied to my the 8$ some time ago. In fact, if you search a little by the web you will find tons of post about the 8$ denied. They must have hard conditions for that promotion.
Try some of the good offer in no deposit bonus here!!

Your conversation with the client support technician was very direct. You tried, it wasn't available, so they go for other bonus to try to catch your attention, but that wasn't what you wanted, so you refused to accept. when they have to tells us "no" to what we ask them, they always go for the "plan B" which, almost always, calls us for a deposit. If that isn't part of our question, i think their marketing plan used in the support isn't accurate.

Hey! There are rules, rules and then there are rules. One for me, one for you and one for the industry. Its their money and they want ours, so that try many ways to get it. Its the same everywhere you go.

Pretty much standard rules for any site like this. You should have read the terms and conditions of the bonus, before even trying to chat with their support. And if you were ever got credited it would have been by mistake

888 is a good site to play , i've been playing there for about 7 years , but played at pacific poker, i have never had a problem cashing out there or any problem,I was surprised at the 8 per household because i received it and so did my wife's son, and we live in the same house, but that was a while ago. and that chat was a wast of time, 888 is a site that if you go to live help and tell them your about to make a deposit, and can you have a bonus, they will ask you how much you are going to depoist, and they will give you a bonus according to that amount. example: i told her i was about to deposit $50.00 , she said I can have $7.00 bonus instant, I just had to tell her when I deposited, she checked and bingo the $7.00 was added. no other site does this. So if your brother has a problem with 888 tell him to stick with PS.

Thanks for that tip Crash58,
I always try to badger online support before a deposit for a little extra freebies like tourney tickets or what not. But I've never been offered an instant bonus. I'll eventually give 888 a try and now I know what to ask for.
