St. Patrick’s Day Week Is Bonus Money Week At Tropicana and Virgin Online
Don’t let the fact that the Atlantic City casinos are temporarily off-limits get you down. All NJ gambling websites remain open 24/7, so you can still play your favorite games.
Not only that, but bonuses galore are yours for the taking. If you play at Tropicana Online Casino and/or Virgin Online Casino, why not celebrate both St. Patrick’s Day Week and the start of spring with these special offers?
Tropicana March Mania
It might not feel like we’re in the middle of March with no March Madness. But Tropicana Online Casino is offering you another great way to celebrate the end of St. Patrick’s Day week and beginning of spring–March Mania!
How to participate in March Mania at Tropicana Online Casino
This promotion starts at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, March 20 and continues all weekend up to 11:59 p.m. Sunday, March 22. It is open only to registered Tropicana Online Casino players. However, players who reside in the following locations are excluded: New York, Florida, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico.
Tropicana Online Casino is giving away $10,000 in bonus money, and 360 lucky players will all get a piece of it. Monday, March 23 is payout day.
For every $50 wagered on any calendar day during the promotion on any game, earn 1 drawing entry, up to five entries per day.
Therefore, since this promotion will be ongoing for three days (Fri., Sat., and Sun.), if you play all three days and wager $250 or more each day, you will earn 15 drawing entries. This is the maximum number of entries possible.
But if you can’t afford to or don’t have time to wager that much, don’t worry about it. In a random drawing, anything can happen, and this drawing will have 360 winners, so the luck of the draw should come into play even if you don’t have a lot of entries.
Awarding of prizes
On Monday, 3/23, Tropicana Online Casino will hold a random drawing to pick the 300 prizewinners.
All prizes are in the form of bonus money, ranging from $10 to $500. The following table shows how the prizes will be distributed.
| # of Winners | Prize |
| 2 | $500 Bonus Money |
| 8 | $250 Bonus Money |
| 10 | $100 Bonus Money |
| 40 | $50 Bonus Money |
| 100 | $20 Bonus Money |
| 200 | $10 Bonus Money |
All prizes will be credited to players’ accounts within 24 hours of the drawing.
Terms and conditions
All bonus money awarded in this promotion is subject to the same wagering requirements and other terms and conditions as any other bonus that Tropicana Online Casino (or sister NJ gambling website, Virgin Online Casino) offers.
Winners will need to wager the bonus 1x on any game of their choosing and have up to 30 days to do so. Any resulting winnings can then be withdrawn but not the bonus itself, which the casino takes back.
Virgin Online Casino Pot O’ Gold Prize Draw
March Mania at Tropicana Online Casino won’t start till Friday, but if you’re reading this article before then, you don’t have to wait for your chance to win. The Pot O’ Gold Prize Draw promotion at Virgin Online Casino is already ongoing.
Surely you would love to get your hands on a piece of the $5,000 bonus money prize pool that Virgin Casino will be giving away on Monday. If Virgin Online Casino is one of the NJ gambling websites where you currently play, the Pot O’Gold Prize Draw could be your golden opportunity. 100 lucky players will all win prizes!
The period for earning entries started on Monday, March 16 and continues through 11:59 p.m. Sunday, March 22.
Are you eligible?
This promotion is open only to registered Virgin Online Casino players. However, if you reside in any of the following locations: New York, Florida, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico, you won’t be able to participate.
How to earn entries for the Virgin Online Casino Pot O’ Gold Prize Draw
Simply play your favorite Virgin Online Casino games, as usual. For every $50 that you wager on any game on any single qualifying day of the promotion, you will earn one drawing entry, up to a maximum of five entries per day if you wager $250 or more.
Therefore, if you started playing and wagered $250 or more on day 1 (Monday) and do likewise every other day this week, you will earn 35 entries, the maximum number of entries possible.
However, earning that many entries would not only entail playing every day but wagering a total of $1,750 over the seven-day period. Since for many of you that won’t be feasible, simply do the best you can. Don’t risk any more of your bankroll than you can comfortably afford.
Awarding of prizes
On Monday, March 23, all eligible entries will be entered into a drawing where Virgin Online Casino will randomly select the 100 winners. All prizes will be in the form of bonus money credited to the player’s account. The following table shows how the 100 prizes will be distributed.
| # of Winners | Prize |
| 1 | $500 Bonus Money |
| 4 | $250 Bonus Money |
| 5 | $100 Bonus Money |
| 20 | $50 Bonus Money |
| 50 | $20 Bonus Money |
| 100 | $10 Bonus Money |
All prizewinners can expect to see the bonus money credited to their account within 24 hours of the drawing.
Terms and Conditions
These prizes work exactly the same way as the prizes in the Tropicana drawing. You have up to 30 days to wager the bonus 1x on any game you choose. As soon as you complete the wagering, you will be free to withdraw any resulting winnings. However, you won’t be able to withdraw the bonus money itself then or ever.
March Mania and Pot O’ Gold Pros and Cons
No NJ online casino offers more special promotions than Tropicana and Virgin. However, if you’re a regular player, you will quickly discover that the two promotions described above are very similar to those you have accessed in the past.
Both offers are not without their share of shortcomings. But if you plan to play at Tropicana Online Casino and/or Virgin Online Casino this week anyway, don’t let that stop you. Even if it won’t be feasible to earn the maximum number of entries, you should still participate. No deposit is required, and as long as you wager at least $50 on at least one promotion day, your name will be in the drawing.
However, keep in mind that you cannot carry play over from one day to the next. So each day you play, be sure to wager at least $50, and if you wager more than $50, try to make the total amount a multiple of $50.
What could be better
Unfortunately, both promotions have the same weaknesses associated with all offers at these two casinos: (1) you can only wager the bonus money once and (2) it’s a sticky bonus that you can’t withdraw. In addition, since the size of the bonus is likely to be small, the opportunity to wind up with more than a very meager win, if that, isn’t good.
