I don't know if it is for new players only. You will receive the 50.00 in your acct instantly after you register and redeem code for 50VIP. Playthrough is 750.00. If you win 150.00 ( or anything) over the initial 50.00 free and you try to cash out, they will take back the initial 50.00. That is why I suggested that if you won 150.00 then they take back their 50.00 and you still end up with 100.00. This is an rtg site though. I enjoyed the games. You don't have to receive an email to get bonus, I didn't. Go to their site to look for t&c. Good luck on your games. I did not win but it was fun to play.
