Back to Bonuses & Promotions

casino changed the eligible games list while i was already halfway through wagering

was running through a reload offer, got maybe 55% of the way through the wagering requirements, just grinding my usual blackjack tables, then got hit with a popup saying the game is no longer eligible. checked the terms and the eligible games list really did change, right in the middle of my progress. my play didn’t count for the rest, had to switch to slots to keep going. i tracked everything and i’m sure i did nothing shady, but when i asked support, they just said “terms can be updated at any time.”

now i’m thinking maybe this is more common than i thought. i usually pick casinos based on their blackjack-friendly promos but if they can just change the rules on the fly, kinda blows the whole value. i’ve seen folks get shut out for max betting or obvious bonus abuse but this was just dead regular low-stakes stuff.

has anyone else had their promo conditions change during play? is this a fight worth pushing, or do most folks just take the loss and move on?

55% through on blackjack and they flip it? Mean little trick.

Mid-wager rule swaps are scummy as hell lol, same energy as books voiding a live Sports Betting line after it hits

Yeah this gets waved off like “terms change lol” but nah, there’s a difference between updating a promo page and changing contribution mid-run while you’re already in it. Online casinos do this all the time with blackjack because they want the volume, just not from the game you started on, support knows exactly what they’re doing lmao

Did the promo page actually show a timestamp, or just that mid-shoe popup lol? That part matters sooo much if you push support

Mid-shoe popup is the part that stinks, yeah. Did your wager ledger show the exact hand where blackjack stopped counting?!

screenshots are fine but the wager ledger is the thing, before and after the switch. i had one pull this on me, 312 slot spins suddenly counted and the last 40 bj hands didnt, support just kept pasting the same line back at me

Live Dealer blackjack gets clipped first. Seen crypto casinos flip contrib from 10% to 0% mid-run and support play dumb.
