The bonus formula or: Disguised fraud

I have taken the liberty to graphically represent the turnover requirements of a bonus, I have used an RTP of 96% which corresponds to an average slot.
As a stake 100% bonus up to 100 euros were taken, 200 so with bonus as starting capital.

Of course, the casino has a house advantage but it is amazing and certainly not clear to everyone how high the actually turns out with bonuses.
With an RTP of 96, the "0-loss threshold" would be 16.98. In short: For everything you have to wager more than 17 times, the casino has a house advantage.
If you Deposit 100 at a casino and claim the bonus, you will have to wager 35 times. In the long run, you will leave the casino with an average of 47.92 euros and an equity loss of 52.08 euros.

In my eyes, bonus offers with these conditions are fraud.
The justistic definition is fulfilled in my eyes:

§ 263 fraud

(1) Whoever, with the intention of obtaining for himself or a third party an unlawful pecuniary advantage, damages the property of another by creating or maintaining an error by false pretences or by distorting or suppressing true facts, shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine.

Dear regards, if this is how it is communicated with the bonus, there is no criminal offense here, the definition of fraud is not met here per se.

Hi, first of all, I think it's great that you took the trouble to illustrate the whole thing.

About the fraud: The case in question would not stand up to scrutiny under the 263 StGB examination scheme.

This would possibly already fail due to the objective element of error, since no false facts or probability values are stated.

Also, a pecuniary loss does not always necessarily occur, since there is also the possibility of a win. Admittedly, this is of course quite small, but we are now in the field of gambling.

I would say: You have explained well how difficult it actually is to win, with such conditions. I'm sure many people are not aware of that.

However, criminal offenses are not being committed here.

LG and have a nice day!

I do not consider Bonuses in general to be fraud.

But that many casinos use this to not pay out, that is fraud.
Because, as you have already correctly shown, you accept an offer which is anyway an advantage for the casino and to the disadvantage of the player.
And then even the few winners make the payout difficult or even refuse that is no longer to be surpassed in audacity.
And also the MGA does nothing against it.

That most (!) Casinos generate an advantage through the bonus I sign immediately.

Counterargument are the from my point of view really serious casinos. As an example, I can only call the Casinoclub again and again. Because there the following happened to me: 10€ deposited to test, 10€ bonus taken. Briefly checked the conditions: no Maxbet rule, I think 40x convert. Then I won with my money even before I touched the bonus. 300€ I then finally wanted to withdraw after some up and down. For this I only had to cancel my bonus. The 10€ were gone, the money arrived an hour later.

And there I see no problem. If I would have won with the Bonus money, it would have been absolutely difficult to convert. But that would also be 100% money that never belonged to me and that you need a little more luck for this, I find okay.

At all casinos where you can not cancel the bonus, but I would also not accept a bonus.

Hello bone, I am with you, at casinos where the bonus is treated separately, the whole thing is much fairer, unfortunately, these are in the minority.

To be honest, a so-called "bonus" where you have to wager the Deposit amount and Bonus money is simply a hindrance. It is especially creative when you play for hours to convert the money and in the end a few thousand euros are canceled because the max cashout is 100€ or so. Every casino that acts like this is actually a case for a GreyList

Therefore, the rule is :

Always play without a bonus or only if it is transparent, fair and cancelable !!!!
