My Unfortunate Experience with IceCasino's Bonus Codes

As an avid online casino player, I recently had a rather disappointing experience with IceCasino's bonus codes, and I felt compelled to share my story to help others make informed decisions.

The Background: I used a bonus code offered by IceCasino and was delighted when I won a jackpot of 15,000 euros. However, my joy was short-lived due to the casino's restrictive bonus terms.

The Reality: According to the new terms, I was required to roll over the bonus amount 40 times. Despite fulfilling this requirement, I found myself left with only 50 euros, as the rest of my winnings were retained by the casino. This was a stark contrast to the previous rules, where I could withdraw the full amount won after meeting the rollover condition, regardless of the sum.

Why It's Unfair: These new terms seem disproportionately unfair to players. The bonus codes, which once provided an opportunity to genuinely win, now appear to be a means for the casino to increase its turnover without offering real benefits to the players. This realization came as a significant disappointment, and I believe it’s important for others to be aware of this change.

A Word of Caution: Based on my experience, I advise against using these bonus codes. They no longer offer the value they once did and can lead to more frustration than enjoyment.

Final Thoughts: It's crucial for online casinos to maintain fair and transparent terms for their bonuses to ensure a positive experience for their players. Unfortunately, my recent experience with IceCasino's bonus codes highlights how quickly these terms can change, often to the detriment of the player.

Stay informed, and play responsibly.

Hi there!

I understand you feel just as described.

However, not all bonuses are good for the player, and some players would rather not use bonuses at all. Almost all bonuses place restrictions on your gameplay, so it is highly advised to read all of these restrictions beforehand.

Therefore, if it is okay with you, I would add the following point to your overview:

Always read the terms and conditions carefully and consider whether the bonus suits your playing style.

Since you took advantage of the bonus, I would not say the casino did anything unfair if you were aware of the bonus terms but chose not to consult them.

See the example of such restrictions, please:

However, if the bonus terms were unavailable or if you were promised different or ambiguous conditions, and this promise was broken when you submitted the withdrawal, the situation would be entirely different.


Your expectations were spoiled, in my opinion, by the maximum withdrawal amount. I appreciate you giving the forum such a good reminder!

It's interesting that the casino gets all the jackpot for itself, but in my profile this amount is shown under the lucky spins. The rules are beneficial only for themselves. In your example, there is a no deposit bonus. In my case, it was bonus money for the deposit, which, as I understand now, serves to make the Casino earn additional profit. The player does not benefit from the bonus money. Then it is better to play the demo version than to earn money for the casino.

Most casino jackpots are paid by the game provider; hence, here comes the term jackpot. That means the casino is not involved. Did you know that?

I still think you should always consider whether you really want to take a deposit bonus or not. Wagering, for instance, is pretty common, even for the deposit bonuses. Players may benefit from bonuses if they understand the specific rules and keep them in mind while playing.

Personally, I prefer to play bonus free so I do not have to worry about the max bet rule, and so on...

I would also say the demo version hardly brings any money to the casino. No bet means no win or lose.

Or perhaps you meant something different? I'm eager to know.

The jackpot comes from player deposits. When I won more than 15,000, but after 40x turnover they turned into

just 50 euros, where did the remaining 15,000 euros go?

Hi there.

Well, I'm not that convinced regarding the jackpot. Would you kindly ask the casino, please?

Anyway, in my opinion, this is merely an account balance; once the funds are transferred to the bank account, they become actual money. What you consider to be a casino advantage isn't. For this reason, for instance, it states "voided" rather than "given back" to the casino. Deposits, not player wagers, represent the casino's profit.

Please, do you get what I mean?

Unfortunately, I can't find the bonus bets I made after winning 15k in my game transaction history. All other times the bonus bets are visible. Also the casino can't confirm to me what date it was and what the game round ID is. The only information currently available from the casino is that my lucky spin is in the Octoplay game Cash On Wheels Hold & Win x8,919.89 stake 1.70 Winnings 15163.81euro

Why does icecasino need to ruin its reputation like this? Nothing is transparent here when it comes to big winnings.

Did you know that casino bonuses are the best way to turn €15,000 into €50?

I've experimented and can confirm, it works!

If you want to experience a similar surprise, be sure to use a bonus. But I warn you - read the fine print and be prepared for disappointment!

Why are low maximum withdrawal limits on casino bonuses unfair?

  • False advertising: Casinos promote bonuses as a chance to win big, but the low withdrawal limits contradict this promise.
  • Hidden terms: The restrictions are often buried in lengthy terms and conditions, making it difficult for players to understand.
  • Unfair advantage: Casinos have all the information while players are often unaware of these limitations until it's too late.
  • Player exploitation: These limits are designed to maximize casino profits at the expense of the player.
  • Erodes trust: Such practices create a negative perception of the industry and make players hesitant to trust casinos.
  • In essence, these low limits are a form of deception. Players are lured in with the promise of big wins, only to find out that their winnings are severely capped.

To protect yourself:

  • Read the terms carefully: Pay close attention to the maximum withdrawal amount.
  • Compare casinos: Look for casinos with fair and transparent bonus terms.
  • Use online resources: Check reviews and forums for information about specific casinos.
  • Play responsibly: Gambling should be for fun, not a way to make a living.

By understanding these issues, players can make more informed decisions and avoid being taken advantage of.

I've noticed a very suspicious pattern while playing Octoplay games on IceCasino. Every time a bonus or jackpot round is triggered, the outcome is already predetermined and visible in my profile before the animation even concludes. This raises serious doubts about the fairness of the game results.

Additionally, it's common knowledge that jackpots cannot usually be won while playing with bonus funds. However, IceCasino allows this in Octoplay games. This inconsistency, combined with the aforementioned suspicious behavior, raises significant concerns about fair play.

Has anyone else encountered similar issues while playing on IceCasino? Please share your experiences.

I understand your frustration and I think it's unfair, but when a casino gives you a bonus, it means they are giving you more money to play with, at the cost of a higher risk of losing, often you can't argue with that. I would recommend not playing with a bonus if withdrawal is important to you at the moment.

Hello, Elody!

This is an uncommon development. Have the casino employees made an attempt to explain why you are unable to view the history?

I'm sorry I have to disagree again...

It is not that unusual that a numeric result of the spin reaches the system sooner than the associated game graphics. For instance, most base slot spin animations take approximately 1 sec - the reels are spinning, animals are roaring, whatever it takes to amaze the player, yet the whole process of a single spin time frame is much faster. Now, please imagine there are no graphics, just a sequence of actions:

RNG generates a random number.

The game’s mathematical module takes the random number and calculates where the reels should stop.

The game stops the reels at the determined positions and calculates the outcome of the spin.

The outcome of the spin is then displayed to the player who initiated the spin.

So yes, sometimes it may appear the result is known sooner that the graphic animation is finished, but it usually only means what I just described.

Kindly note that # won't work here. This is not instagram post 🙂

Typically, such low maximum payouts are associated with no-deposit bonuses, but I had made a deposit.

I was shocked to see my 15,000 euro turn into a mere 50 euros.

Many casinos restrict jackpot games when playing with bonuses, which makes sense.

Turning a significant sum into such a small amount is undoubtedly disappointing. It seems the casino's marketing team might have overlooked this potential outcome.

After a thorough investigation, I managed to locate my game history. The casino itself couldn't find the specific lucky spins, but these are likely just technical issues.

The game itself was also frustrating. It prematurely revealed the bonus round result, completely ruining the excitement and suspense.

Looking back, I realize I made a poor choice when selecting a bonus. Some bonuses offer unlimited payout possibilities, and I'll be more mindful of this in the future.

This unfortunate experience taught me a valuable lesson about the unpredictability of gambling.

Hey, Elody!

This is indeed a fair warning. I would also say lower withdrawals are much more often associated with no deposit bonuses.

However, from your screenshots to me, it is not that clear what kind of bonus with what terms was associated with your deposit.

Just imagine you deposit, but a few days later, for instance, you are awarded a no deposit code. This is, for example, not a case of deposit bonus; thus, it depends whether you played with bonus funds of real money and whether the bonus terms have expired the moment you hit the jackpot.

I merely used this as an example, so feel free to describe the events, bonus terms, or anything else you like.

I find your situation to be quite sad, and I wish there was something I could do to assist you. Please continue with responses as we might have missed something.

I made a deposit of 10 euros and got 100% bonus money also 10 euros. The maximum payout for this bonus in the end turned out to be 50 euros.

filefile

But I didn't pay attention to it, because all the time in the profile different bonuses are offered. Sometimes I use bonus codes from other sites, for example x platform.


filefile


When a deposit is made with an activated bonus, the bonus money is often immediately added to the account balance. Other bonuses, on the other hand, require separate activation. Therefore, the player may not notice whether he is playing with real money or already with bonus money.

file

I prefer it if the bonus money always had to be activated separately, not like in my case, where the bonus money was already activated when I made a deposit.

I think they made a technical error there and instead of 50 euros it should have been 50% max cashout

Hi!

I am starting to look into it more. I continue to believe that in order to comprehend the bonus, we would need to see the related terms in writing. I advise getting in touch with support and discussing your concerns with them each time you think something went wrong.

In order to find out the truth, I would like to know if you spoke with casino employees and what response you received.

However, I do not think this is the greatest user experience; players could easily become confused by automatically activated bonuses. Taking a bonus should also be a conscious decision.

When you say you deposited with the bonus, were you aware of that? Was it some special feature announced with the deposit option, for example?

In any case, ask the casio for an explanation, please. It seems the offers are very customized; thus, I would prefer to know how the casino explains the bonus, max withdrawal limit, and your concern about errors.

They always point out their rules, but it is illogical for a casino to allow players to win jackpots with bonus funds, only to then confiscate those winnings. This is contradictory and raises questions about the consistency of the casino's gaming rules.

file

I believe that this situation has been a serious violation. I was given the opportunity to win the jackpot by playing with bonus money, but then the possibility of withdrawing the winnings was limited to only 50 euros. This is unfair, as it created unreasonable expectations of a larger win.

Furthermore, the bonus terms, which provided for a 40-fold turnover and only a maximum payout of 50 euros, are illogical and disadvantageous to loyal customers. Such a practice is unacceptable and raises doubts about the honesty of the casino.

The fact that even after wagering 400 euros (which is 40 times the initial deposit) the maximum withdrawal amount is only 50 euros indicates unfair and opaque bonus conditions.


file

As a loyal customer, I should not have such disadvantageous bonus terms. And the more I study the bonuses they offer, the more clear it is that the terms are only beneficial to the casino itself. I had never noticed before that the max payout is only 50 euros. This makes me think that there was a mistake and instead of 50 euros it should have been 50%. That is what I want, to be paid 50% of the money I won, because I wagered the 10 euros bonus money 40 times, placing bets for 400 euros.


Here are examples of one of the many bonuses

filefilefile

A few years ago there was no max withdrawal limit. The bonus money only had to be wagered 40 times. Currently, no bonus is worth using.

Hello, Elody.

I'd say the casino is quite right when they say it is you who decide whether you want to take the bonus.

For a few moments, I was convinced that you said you had been given the bonus automatically, yet your reply again misses that point completely.

So, I'll stick with the latest update.

If you knew the terms, I bet you won't be so surprised there is actually a win-cap.

So, we're getting back to the beginning, when you most likely made the mistake by assumming the bonus must automatically hold an advantage for the player. These days, however, finding a decent bonus is quite a chatch.

Take it from the opposite site of the view: Does it make sense for a casino to offer something free or atop your deposit with the possibility of hitting something grand? No, this is why almost every bonus comes with a wagering requirement and maximum withdrawable amount.

Since you did not know the fundamentals, you decided to play the jackpot game. Would you be as worried about casino regulations later on if you knew that using the bonus would not earn you the jackpot?

I know it is a depressing experience. However, your lucky spins are hardly the casino's fault as long as you had the freedom to choose whether or not you wanted that bonus.

In my opinion, we probably would not be having this discussion if you had read the terms.

"Furthermore, the bonus terms, which provided for a 40-fold turnover and only a maximum payout of 50 euros, are illogical and disadvantageous to loyal customers. "

Why did you take the bonus then?

You know, expecting all bonuses across the casinos to be the same is a very dangerous idea, and you faced the consequences. Instead of assuming things, read the terms, and if you think something does not suit your playstyle or is simply far to disadvantageous, do not take it.

"A few years ago there was no max withdrawal limit. The bonus money only had to be wagered 40 times. Currently, no bonus is worth using."

I'm sorry, but this is still the same situation. all your objections would have little meaning if you simply read the terms before accepting the bonus 🙁 Comparing history to nowadays bonuses will also only lead you to troubles. I hope all is now more obvious.


To summarize it a bit:

before you accept an offer, always find its terms

if the terms are unclear, ask the support or chat

if the conditions are far too restrictive, don't accept the offer


When you stick with these straightforward steps, you have a strong chance not to be disappointed again.

So, did you take the bonus willingly, or was it automatically awarded to you, please? If you don't mind, I would like to be certain about that.

Of course, rules come before everything. This was definitely a case where the casino made me feel appreciated as a regular customer.
