Betfair rated 'Rogue' by casinomeister
The selfstyled ( but respected ) online gaming watchdog and rater of gambling websites has awarded betfair a 'Rogue' rating.
I gather that rogue status is awarded to gamiing operations casinomeister considers untrustwothy or worse.

Cliff Notes from that link
'Betfair Casino ran a promo on Saturday 13 November which offered an unlimited happy hour bonus with only 10x playthrough. When they realized how much they were losing, they changed the playthrough amount to 20x and began locking accounts and confiscating winnings.'
Sad to see betfair's casino associated with this sort of behaviour and as a consequence tarnishing the whole brand

Even though players had risked their own funds and met the posted wagering requirements, they were given the "speak to the hand" treatment and were told that they had not played in the "Spirit of the Bonus."

Someone had the sense to take a screen shot of the bonus.
http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/9145/betfairm.jpg Now I've seen that I seem to recall something like it a month ago and just igoring it as I do most spam. 'get 50% unlimited reload bonuses' seems to have attracted a brothel of bonus ****s. with 10x play through, betting on every roulette number = profit ( until the offer is reneged upon ofcourse ) Seems like they need to employ a more mathmatically minded promotions devisor. Betfair have gone as far as 'Chargebacks' to Moneybookers to retrieve money. Integrity is rarer than hens teeth these days. |

This is a change of direction for betfair inasmuch as they're cheating clients directly as opposed to setting up clients to be cheated by other clients. Perhaps a 20% slice of the action is no longer deemed adequate.

Apologies for my ignorance, but what does '10x playthrough' mean?
|
|
By:
It means wager 10x an amount you deposit. So if you deposit £100, you get the bonus after wagering £1,000.
Often these bonuses are in the form of deposit x and get x free. So if you play through £1000 on roulette, you can expect to lose about £30, and then you get £100 free. Most casinos exclude roulette and blackjack from these offers nowadays, and have a ridiculous requirement of 30x or 40x playthrough. |

is that 30 quid just a number or equivalent to 103% overound?
|

By:
The overround is 37/36 = 1.02777.. = app. 103%.

The days of BF even pretending to give a damn about us are long, long done. So many of the latest developments aren't even done in house - the fiasco of the forum being a blinding case in point - and the bottom line rules.
