OVO Casino - Be Careful

They had a 100% bonus this weekend on OVO Casino so I deposited €200 and got a matched €200 bonus. I lost the cash balance pretty quick and was down to like €50 bonus money when I started to hit big. I won and grinded out the 40x wagering ending with €1850. Then it all got converted to €200...

Atleast the signup bonus gave 5x but with this you just feel robbed. Just be careful when you accept the bonuses.

 
Terms state 1x on certain bonuses, which I take myself sometimes when I'd do a cash deposit anyways. General tip on those is to play with very low stake as the balance will always be minimum 1x on conversion. I have notifed Ovo about this and they will look into it.

Dear Mr_Candyman 

First of all , thank for you for playing on OVO Casino. The promotion we ran this weekend was an 'Infinity' promotion, therefore matching your deposit up to whatever amount you desired. Naturally a promotion of this nature does have it's own terms and conditions that are accepted by yourself when taking the bonus. We specified this clearly in our terms and conditions

5. 40x wagering and 1x capping applies. Once you reach the bonus wagering requirement the bonus can be converted to real money. If conversion balance is higher than original bonus amount granted – maximum real money credit is – unless stated otherwise - x1 bonus amount granted. If conversion balance is less then original bonus amount, the minimum amount of real money credited will be equivalent to the initial bonus amount granted. Examples with €200 in bonus awarded: Bonus converted at €30 balance – real money credited is €200 Bonus converted at €200 balance – real money credited is €200 Bonus converted at €500 balance – real money credited is €200.

Whilst I appreciate that you unfortunately lost your real money first ( remember you can cash out your real money at any time and use the bonus as a parachute  ) , you did win with your bonus money and therefore converted this into the original bonus granted as per our terms and conditions.  

At OVO we take pride in our customer service , and I can understand that on this occasion you did not read the T&C's accurately , and I will therefore look into your account as a one of gesture of good will. Please contact customer support at support@ovocasino.com with the subject title 'infinity bonus - letsgiveitaspin' and I will happily look into your case and bring this to a happy conclusion. 

with best regards

This is interesting. Since i am located in Norway, i'm not allowed to enter OVO's website, so i cant read the terms. I know OVO is planning to open up for players from Norway, and i have been waiting for it, as they seem to have many cool slots (from @LetsGiveItASpin streams).

But if I understand the terms correctly, no matter how you end up with the bonus balance, you will be credited the bonus amount anyway (considering you beat the wagering)?

As far as I can see, the only thing you can gain by the bonus "parachute" is the possibility to get your deposited cash back, but nothing more. I mean, it is for sure better than nothing, but it also feels a bit useless gambling if you can not win. We are in it, to win it, right? There are many other casinos out there that has the same bonus offers but only require 1x wagering, and no withdrawal limit.

Unless i'm mistaken, and please correct me if i am, are there any benefit from this bonus?

Hi , 

You make valid points and also pose some interesting questions. Firstly , we hope to open up Norway soon. We will notify you should we do so.  With regards our bonuses , we can of course see your concern and that is why we do have some bonuses with bigger max capping. This being said, I will tell you one major advantage of a x1 bonus. If you were to convert your bonus, and your bonus balance would be below your bonus money awarded , we would round that up for you. Sounds confusing ? Let me explain with an example .

Lets say you were to get a €200 bonus with 40x WR and x 1 cap. This is what would happen. 

Examples with €200 in bonus awarded. In this case you have €8,000 to wager. Unlike some other casinos we do not limit bet size from bonus money. Now lets say you have only a few euros left to wager , but your bonus balance is at €25 - once you fulfil your wagering , we will round up your balance to €200 , even if your balance was €0.20 . Of course the flip side to this , is that if you balance is €300 , we would round it down to €200. We believe this gives the advantage t the player.  We do however as I said above change the capping amounts depending on the promotion offered. 

We love giving out good bonuses at OVO and we pride ourselves on outstanding fast customer support. 

Let me know if you have any further questions 

 
@OVO Casino thank you for the reply. I do understand that this is (for me at least) a unique way in terms of bonuses. I do think that it is nice to round up to the bonus amount even if you're down to even nothing when the wagering is done. However, as a player where you in general have the odds against you by playing slots, you always hunt for the BIG WIN. If big wins was not possible to get in slots, i doubt that many players would gamble. I just can't imagine that feeling, hitting HUGE for once, but not beeing able to cash out that win. That must be a nightmare. I think that feeling is 1000x times worse, and does not make up for that feeling getting your deposited bonus back (in best case).

That beeing said, i still find the bonuses that most casinos hand out very generous. I do also know that most casinos makes a lot of money and will most likely always be the winner in the end. We gamle with our money, and the casino kind of gamle with their profit when giving out bonuses, but the gamble should be a gamble for both of us, and the way i belive OVOcasino bonuses works, it doesnt really seem to be a gamble from your side.

I dont mean to be rude or anything regarding your bonus system, and i do look forward to be a player at OVO in the future. All casinos have their own advantages and disadvantages. I'm just using this thread to discuss openly my opinions regaring the topic. And if OVO or any other casino representatives wants input by listening to the players, they are always welcome to discuss :)

Have a nice day :)

 
Hi!

Here is also a sad customer. I deposit 75 euros with 150% deposit bonus (112.5 euros). Then I got an epic win 1000x on Pharao's Tomb. After I finished wagering (ended up to 1500 euros) the original bonus amount (112.5 euros) converts to real money.

Maybe it's my fault that I didn't read bonus terms carefully :(

I also found this little topic from here:

https://casinogrounds.com/ovo-casino/
OvoCasino Bonuses and Promotions:
c) The max cashout after wagering is 1x the bonus 5x the bonus for players claiming the bonus via the “Get Bonus” buttons on Casinogrounds.
However, should you finish the wagering with less than the original bonus amount, it will automatically be topped up to what you started with,
and you’re free to withdraw.

If my english is correct, then there's a button that multiplies my converted bonus amount to 5x???

I don't know what providers OVO has but if you understand the terms and realise there is a 1x cap then you can strategise to lower your chance of ending with a large "wasted" balance . Your goal is simply to finish wagering without going bust . You shouldn't be playing slots with big potential / high volatility . You definitely need to win at some point but think 100x wins rather than 1000x wins . Check the rtp and go for the highest rtp slots you can find . with low or medium volatility . This is one of the rare times that slot playing can actually require some "skill" as in selecting appropriate slots to play depending on your balance and amount of wagering left

Hi @Esteban79

Thank you for getting in touch . I have looked into your request and as stated in our Terms and Conditions , the max cash out is X 1, unless you have created your account through letsgiveitaspin/casinogrounds.  

As a gesture of good will , and as a strictly one time offer , I have credited your player account with €300 in bonus money. These carry the same T&C's as the welcome bonus. 

with kind regards

Thx Skylined87 and OVO Casino. I did register my account via letsgiveitaspin.

1500 euros winnings -> 300 euros bonus money is something, but the wagering €12,000  is crazy....
