I feel this needs to be brought to attention. Conquestador is a uk licenced casino and is still allowing UK players to buy bonuses.

I brought this to the attention chipmonkz earlier who said it was disgusting. I agree.


Very reckless and dangerous behaviour by the casino. This feature was banned for a reason.


What's everyone's thoughts ?

I always enjoyed the option of a bonus buy,. How can it be seen as worse than buying a to tier scratch card from a shop, Or doing a large spin on a roulette wheel?   I see people on Facebook groups whacking massive bets on football all the time but that is never frowned upon

as far as the casino allowing it... I'm sure they'll get punished along the way

Why did they remove them in the first place? To me having the option to instantly get a bonus is good even knowing that it could pay 0 back. I’d much rather have the option than spending thousands chasing a bonus that might never come.

Ha yeah just shows how toothless the gambling regulators are that they appear to be getting away with it :)

Personally I think they'd have been allowed if the providers hadn't pushed in the gamble feature and had stuck with the original White Rabbit style of a buy with discounted cost if you'd been playing normal spins first. 

Just buying a bonus rather than spunking £££ over potentially thousands of spins trying to land it normally never really felt particularly degenerate, but insta-buying multiple bonuses on something like Extra Chilli and getting committed to reaching 24 spins or on Vikings Unleashed and getting committed to max spins & multiplier felt like it was a step too far and legit would lead to people getting in deeper than they ever intended.

That said, they are banned and as such there should clearly be fines and license revoking for sites that flout the rules.

Out of interest, how are the 'All Action' megaways games at places like PlayOjo and Yako (which Chipmunk promotes) any different to bonus buys / how do they get allowed?

£1,000 a pop (£10 stake) and then a quasi-gamble that could see you stitched up with 5 spins from a 1x multiplier.

I mean, they are different to how bonus buys used to be (ie not available within the standard game), but otherwise are exactly as they were before?

I was reminded of this having just watched Craig's latest video on the YT.


How are they able to still offer Diamond Mine bonus buys, but even worse than the original ones they now let people gamble them?


I mean, it's fun to watch and makes for easier videos for streamers that can always fall back on these if they are struggling to hit a normal bonus for a video, but surely it negates the whole point of having a ban on bonus buys...

Yeah, and that paragon of virtue is spewing out seemingly endless videos of £40-£50 quid spins with huge payouts, mostly achieved off line, and apparently a bonus buy is disgusting. Go figure!


All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed.
