FREE GAME TIME - A FRESH MARKETING ANGLE
No complications to this online casino bonus
Fortune Lounge group's well established 7 Sultans Online Casino, is testing a bold promotion designed to give new players a unique opportunity to play with 15 minutes of free time.
During the free time players receive $500 and get to keep anything they win up to US $500 (now changed to $200), choosing from a wide selection of games ranging from slots and Video Poker to table games.
Fortune Lounge is heading up the project and will host the testing on a unique homepage created specifically for the 7Sultans Free Time promotion at 7 sultans.com
"The 15 free minutes limited test is a great opportunity for beginners and new players to really get to know what our casino has to offer them, and it is also a chance for them to rack up some cash for free," says John Hughes, 7 Sultans Marketing Director.
To qualify for the 15 minutes of free play, new players need only open a new Real Player account at the casino during the promotion period, which started on October 3.
Players will be given US$500 to use during their 15 free minutes, from which they have to bet at least $100. At the end of the free play period, players can transfer up to $200 of remaining balance to their Real Player account for future gaming at the casino.
There is no purchase required in order to take up the offer and therefore no risk to players.
On the face of it the promotion seems to be a clever use of the bonus incentive with few of the complications, and its novelty will probably draw many new players to the casino's books.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
The Fortune Lounge group has just advised that Terms and Conditions on this promotion will change with immediate effect. Players are now able to transfer whatever they win up to $200 (previously $500) and the minimum purchase to transfer winnings have change to $50. This promotion can also not be taken up with the current casino purchase match of up $85.
