Bonus
Rules *
Havana Club Casino gives two consecutive sign up bonuses
to players. The first matching deposit bonus is 100%,
maximum $100. The second matching bonus is 50%, maximum
$200. The deposit amount must be wagered within 72 hours
of depositing before the bonus is given, otherwise the
player will not receive the bonus. The player must request
the bonus on Havana Club's website on the "Claim
Your Bonus" page. The bonus will be credited within
6 hours of the request, assuming that the wagering requirements
have been met.
Once the bonus has been credited the player must wager
15X the deposit plus bonus amount before being able
to withdraw funds. This means if you deposit $100 and
receive a $100 bonus you must wager $100 before you
can request and receive the sign up bonus. After receiving
the bonus you must wager an additional $3000 before
being able to cash out your winnings. Blackjack can
only be a maximum of 20% of your wagering amount. In
other words, if you have to wager $3000 to be able to
cash out only $600 of that is allowed to be blackjack
wagering.
Players from Denmark have a higher wagering requirement
for the sign-up bonus. They must wager 20X the deposit
plus bonus after receiving the bonus before being able
to cash out. The following games are also restricted
towards the wagering requirement: all forms of Blackjack,
Craps, Sic Bo, Red Dog, all forms of Baccarat, all forms
of Roulette and Progressive Roulette tables, all forms
of Power Poker and Video Poker except Deuces Wild. If
you are from Denmark we recommend you check the terms
and conditions for each bonus you go for before applying
for the bonus. Most bonuses on Havana Club have higher
requirements for players from Denmark.
All deposit match bonuses must be wagered 10X the deposit
plus bonus before being able to cash out. Again, the
deposit amount must be wagered within 72 hours of depositing
before the bonus is given, otherwise the player will
not receive the bonus. The 10X wagering requirements
are only counted after the bonus has been added to the
players account. This is an important point to note
as if you are on a roll before you receive your bonus
it doesn't count towards the wagering requirement.
Most bonuses require the basic wagering the deposit
amount before receiving the bonus and then the 10X deposit
plus bonus wagering requirements before being able to
cash out. Generally bonuses can not be used in conjunction
with each other, in other words you can not get a first
deposit by Click 2 Pay bonus with your Sign up bonus.
They must be used separately.
Jacks or Better Power Poker, Jacks or Better Video
Poker, Jacks or Better 10 Play Power Poker, Baccarat,
Craps, Roulette and Sic Bo do not count towards the
wagering requirements on many of the bonuses given.
It's best to check the site for the details relating
to each bonus. Craps and Roulette are exempt from all
wagering requirements.

| Message
Boards Rumors *
The message board results for Havana Club are standard
for Fortune Lounge. Someone didn't read the terms and
conditions well enough and then got upset when they
didn't wager enough on the right games. This is the
problem of the individual and not of the casino.

Personal
Conclusion
Havana Club is a good deal. The bonuses are great, the
software is Microgaming so you couldn't ask for better,
and the terms and conditions are strict but clear.
Fortune Lounge has a mixed bag for a reputation. Some
people love them because of their bonuses, which are
quite good. Others don't like their terms and conditions
and the fact that they are quite strict at not varying
from their terms and conditions. This is not a reason
to dislike a place in my opinion, they state everything
clearly, and it is simply up to the player to do the
reading.
Overall Havana Club is a well done casino that safe
to put your money in and gives a lot of great incentives
to regular players. |
