Paddy Power Casino Bonus

    Hey folks. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about the Casino Bonus offered on Paddy Power online. I got 5 euro from it and have got it up to 30 euro and have now realised I cant cash it. Words cannot describe the joy I would feel if this bonus money became a physical reality that could be wasted in a pub. Does anyone know if I have to get it up to a certain amount to get it out or is there anyway I can use it to supplement real betting credits online? Think I can use it for buy ins in poker but roulette and blackjack are my online crutches.

    I assume a quick email to paddy would answer your questions.

    You probably want to double it for a night out.

    1-18 and red.

    Why don't you just take money out of your bank account and waste it in the pub ?

    you have to play through the free 5 50 times so playing 250 worth before you can cash out its in the terms and conditions

    If you go 1 cent over the $5 they will take $5 of your own money and you wont be able to cash that out either. Its a scam

    Lol 50x requirement. They really don't want you to withdraw that money.

    Got scammed into this bonus earlier on. Hadn't logged onto powers for a long time and was bored earlier so decided to throw €50 on the roulette.

    When I logged in a little pop up came up saying something like, Welcome back! Here's a €5 bonus! No terms and conditions just a simple pop up box. So I clicked ok. Went to a table with €55.

    Played for a while and got even more bored, was up to €130 and decided to cash it. Of course when I tried to withdraw I can only cash out my original €50 and the other €80 is being held by some mystery casino bonus that I know nothing about.

    I ask the live help what's going on and they tell me I agreed to the bonus by accepting the free €5. He then tells me I have to play through the €5 bonus 300 times, yes THREE HUNDRED times, to release the bonus and be able to withdraw! What a ****ing scam.

    So after a bit of cursing I go back to the table with my trapped €80 and go on a serious run that peaked at around €950 trying to gamble through to release the bonus. Reading further into the t&c's of the bonus, only 50% of your bet counts towards releasing the bonus when playing roulette, effectively doubling the release amount again, its even less for the other live casino games!

    Anyway I eventually released the bonus and left with €550. Its an absolute joke to be honest, I just wanted a little gamble and ended up on it for hours. Would've been fair pissed if I left with nothing. So don't click the little if it pops up on you!

    Fairly standard practice to not click the "OK" button on pop-ups anyway. Never confirm anything without reading what you are confirming first. Your own fault imo. Bit sneaky by PP alright but "buyer beware" and all that stuff

    Not just PP that do it, they all do.
    It's normally anywhere between 20-50 times the bonus, 300 times is the
    largest I have ever seen.
