But in reality, after reaching the required amount, both of my balances remained at zero, and I can’t withdraw anything. So I still haven’t figured out how this actually works.
At the same time, I keep receiving similar $5 USDC bonuses by email, just for different games. I’m not sure if there’s any point in playing them at all if there’s no way to withdraw the money.
I spoke to customer support, and I managed to figure out how everything works. Once you reach the required wagering amount, your bonus balance is reset to zero, and the original 5 USDC bonus is credited to your real money balance. However, I’m almost certain that I didn’t see any change to my deposit balance.
And of course, I continued playing, but when I was playing with the bonus balance, I was incredibly lucky, but as soon as the money was supposedly credited to my real money balance, according to customer support, I immediately lost those $5. Then I immediately got a notification telling me that I needed to make another deposit.
Overall, the experience of playing with a bonus balance still feels exactly like playing in demo mode, you get incredibly lucky. But as soon as everything switches over to your real money balance, that luck suddenly seems to disappear. By the way, after that I received another 5 USDC bonus for another game, Fortune Capybara. But even there, I barely had any luck and lost everything almost immediately.
