Here's live help's response to exactly the above concerns...
To their credit, it seems support was ready to help & comp the other 25 (yes, I was stupid & impatient & didn't wait for the exclusive), but Rival's stupid "multiple Rivals/etc" rule reared its ugly head again.
***For the record I do NOT have multiple accounts at ANY Rival site (impossible, hello?!) tho' my roomies may have signed up at different ones. We keep a list to make absolutely certain that we DON'T dupe sites, plus Rival's software prevents accidents, which I like.***
Ironically, I just came back from re-loading my card to make a depo, signed on & saw the exclusive & here we are again. I didn't blame the casino because it's said to be Rival's rule & because the rep' fixed the problem promptly last week.
Now I'm less certain & I'll not give ANY Rival $$ until I have something in print clearly stating this has been fixed.
Good luck all, & hope ya'll didn't run into the same old thing. Again.

Sammy: Welcome to Tropica Casino Live Support. How may I assist you?
Ruby: Hi. I'm wondering if you can help me with a 35ND bonus through LCB forum, minus your initial 10ND...they said contact you to accomplish this
Ruby: Or did I mess up & lose it?
Sammy: May I have your Login name and email address please?
Ruby: user name rebersol, email
coyotescat67@yahoo.comSammy: I'm sorry but the system does not allow a freebie due to multiple accounts reported at Rival Powered Based Casinos for your household
Ruby: K, I've already been thru this with your rep...it's an automatic response & it's not correct. That's how I got the 10 you see
Ruby: But if necessary I'll complain to him. Again
Sammy: please do as i do not see any comment of him or any change in your account
Ruby: I can't believe Rival does this... so many of us love these games it's nuts to bar based on multiple Rival sites. Sheesh
Ruby: Sammy, he had to intervene in the first place, right?
Ruby: But ok...I'll post this & let LCB members know this is still going on & hasn't been addressed. Job security I guess, right?

Sammy: correct yes
Sammy: please contact them
Ruby: Ironically I was going to make my first Rival depo but seems like a bad idea... I could get locked out for liking the site. lol
Sammy: i don't think that would be possible
Sammy: but please contact them so they can look into it
Ruby: Apparently it IS possible...I was quoted this same nonsense a few days ago. No worries, I'll kick it to him & depo at a NON Rival site. Their loss
Sammy: i'm sorry to hear that
Ruby: Thanks for your time, tho & maybe Rival will fix their knee-jerk mistake
Ruby: Have a great day!
Sammy: You are very welcome.
Sammy: Have a nice night.
Sammy: Thank you for using Live Support. Should you have any future questions, please contact us again.
Ruby: Thanks, Sammy
Sammy: You are very welcome.
Sammy: bye
