Casino terms and conditions often outline a maximum bet for wagers using bonus funds. Have you ever been burned by betting too high without realizing it was against the rules? It would be so nice if the casino would do us the favor of disabling bets that don’t qualify. Well, would ya look at that… FreakyVegas has put forth a solution to this problem with the introduction of the new ‘Max Bet Shield’, which launched on Monday, 16th January.
What is this new feature? In a nutshell, the Max Bet Shield does just that – it shields you from the unfortunate circumstance of placing a bet greater than €5 while a bonus is active. Bets exceeding the €5 cap not only do not count toward the playthrough but they eliminate the possibility of cashing out because you’ve breached the T&C’s.
Conveniently, there’s no opt-in or activation required. Simply claim your bonus as normal and once active, the protection begins. If you attempt to surpass the maximum bonus bet, a handy pop-up notification will appear. Click ‘OK’ and continue your carefree play.
Following a July 2016 launch, the brand has expanded its NetEnt platform to include games from EGT and Yggdrasil. We hear that there’s more on the way soon but in the meantime, take a gamble on titles such as Jokerizer, Big Blox, Starburst, Penguin Style and Vikings Go Berzerk, to name a few. That’s not all, the casino will soon integrate some new payment methods as well, so be on the lookout for those.

Nice to see someone to follow Videoslots.com footsteps. They launched the same method some years ago. Really good to protect yourself from betting too high!

That is a great idea for those, always bonus hunting or bonus whoring players. Now that I think about it, those free chips we buy in the LCB shop (now that's an oxymoron) could benefit from this kind of protection. I am a little surprised that a casino would opt in for something that will completely cut out a player...

I am a little surprised that a casino would opt in for something that will completely cut out a player loss due to a betting error. Now this shows some real integrity, now don't ya think? It is hard enough to just make the playthrough sometimes, but to be so close and then loose it because you made a betting error, now that would suck. "Freaky Vegas," my hat's off to you guys! This is one that's going to go down in history as a real first in online slots!

That's an awesome feature which will reduce the number of complaints, for sure. Players don't have to worry about max bets and stuff from the T&C, that they usually don't read or it is not well displayed. Great stuff!

Nice! I've seen too many complaints involving max bet issues with bonuses, this way you can't miss the rule, it's in your face. Would be great to take it even further and implement other safeguards, no muss no fuss!

Indeed, I always wondered why this does not exist. A rather logical solution that benefits both players and casino. Being as useful as it is, I see no reason why other casinos wouldn't implement similar solutions.

It's an awesome feature that actually saves people's time and the trouble they might have if they don't check out the T&C first.

This is quite useful, and I think, a great new feature. It happens so often that unknowingly we bet more than it's allowed. It's really nice that FreakyVegas decided to implement this solution. Great job, indeed.

wow this is a superb feature. It will definitely prevent many misunderstandings when it comes to placing max bets when playing the bonus. Especially knowing that very few players carefully read T&Cs and often miss the rule(s) about placing max bets. Good Job!
