Okay, Aceshigh. I'll give you that it isn't a leech (you're right). I think I went too far with word. But sheesh ... it just doesn't seem right that if you win "x" amount of money, that they won't let you withdraw it, even after losing the promotion money and they don't even give an option for the oncoming player to dismiss the promotion altogether, so that you can begin to withdraw your winnings immediately. But also, the technique they (and certainly other casinos) employee about the promotion seems to discourage players to wage low. I've never been to Las Vegas, does LV do something similar, too? I somewhat suspect LV doesn't, but I'm not 100% sure.
