I like the configuration of Genting’s welcome bonus: a 100% matched deposit up to a maximum of £50, plus 132 free spins to use on Pragmatic Play’s Big Bass Bonanza. To be eligible for both, you’ll need to make a minimum deposit of £10, and you’ll also need to use the promo code BIG132 if you want to get your hands on the bonus spins.
On the surface this looks like a great deal, but a quick glance at the terms and conditions throws up some problems. The wagering requirements are set at 30x the sum of the deposit and the bonus; this means that if players wanted to take full advantage of the offer, they’d need to wager a total of £3,000 (£50 + £50 x 30) before they could make a withdrawal of bonus winnings. For the free spins, the requirements are set at 60x the value of any winnings.
It’s clear that collecting any winnings from this welcome offer will be impossible for the majority of players. That doesn’t mean the bonus carries no value though – it still allows players to sample the casino’s vast library, and to get to grips with how different casino games work.
Genting also rewards existing customers with a range of promotions. At the time of my review, these included daily prizes, weekly cash draws up to £25,000, on-site tournaments, and monthly rewards tailored to your account.
I’m also a fan of the Genting Members Club, which organises players into tiers based on their account activity. There are six levels in total – Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and Royal Diamond – each of which carry specific account perks, such as higher deposit limits, faster payouts and birthday bonuses.
