Tariffs, Tantrums and T&Cs at Thunderbolt Mobile Casino!
Hey Bolters! Here is a story for the 21st century. It has to do with tariffs, tantrums and the T&Cs of our super-functional star-rated mobile casino! Whether you are a victim, a beneficiary or an ordinary oke (or oke-ss), here is what you need to know.
Psst! It can have a material impact on the bucks you stuff in your purse or wallet here at Thunderbolt Mobile Casino!
Mobile Casino Bonuses and the Effect on the Pocket
The same sentiment applies to the myriad bonuses and promotions available right here. Want to be let in on a little secret? The promo that takes top billing at Thunderbolt – both the online and mobile casino – has a maximum value of R10,000!
Ja, julle! The promo we are referring to is a four-part new player bonus. It is designed to boost the bankroll and extend your real money gaming sessions into the night and way beyond!
The first three coupon codes are deposit-dependent. The fourth is a no deposit freebie capped at R2,500! Eish, now that is delish – like beef burger, boerewors and bunny chow delish!
Now back to the what, when, how, and why of the newly imposed trade tariffs.
Market Jitters and Shouty Economists
Ouch and eina… Tariffs are here! The general consensus is that they are sheer lunacy. Markets are edgy, economists are shouty, and business owners exporting large volumes to America are quietly sobbing into their drinks.
If you did not already know, tariffs are basically another form of taxation. They are a flat fee added to the cost of imported foreign products, and the funds are payable at the port of entry.
Cross-Product Trade Tariffs for the RSA
In South Africa’s case, everything is taxed by 30%. That is apart from a few shiny sought-after commodities like gold, palladium and platinum. They are exempt.
The latest ZA-facing flat fee is over and above the 50% tariffs that have already been slapped on steel, aluminium and copper – not just from South Africa, but the whole darn world. It is also besides the 25% tax on all cars, engines and vehicle parts manufactured right here in RSA.
On that basis, tariffs are a disaster! Playing real money games at Thunderbolt mobile casino may be the answer. It can help take the mind off what can only be pending economic carnage!
Courting Chaos and Disaster
How do you create chaos without the help of King Kong, Godzilla or sneaky KZN coup commandos? You do one of two things... Impose tariffs on goods from your formerly bestie trading partners. That’s if you have the right kind of clout that us laymen don’t have.
Alternatively, you fire up Thunderbolt mobile casino, play slots online and win so much Souf Effrikan currency, you lose it – not the bucks but the capacity to think! Either way, it is a jol, but only when you are on the receiving end of the largesse.
The Meaningful Meaning of 30
Here is an interesting coincidence. Thirty, aka three oh, is currently a significant number in Mzansi. It is the percentage the head of the GOP has imposed on (almost) all SA goods exported to the USA. Plus, it is the fixed playthrough – as in 30 x fixed – of deposit bonuses at Thunderbolt mobile casino!
That must mean something, um, meaningful!
Let us take a closer look. One use of the numeral increases the price of ZA products. The other ensures all our players get to withdraw the winnings they have accrued at Thunderbolt online and mobile casino. That said, the first is a penalty… The second is the key to M-O-N-E-Y! We know which one we would prefer. Do you?
All You Need to Know About Trade Tariffs
Why were tariffs introduced? The idea is to make foreign goods more expensive than locally produced products. That way, Americans will think twice about buying our naartjies, bokkoms and biltong.
They will opt for cheaper or locally produced alternatives like Colombian naranjilla, dehydrated trout and buffalo jerky. They may even avoid signing up at Thunderbolt Casino, too, but that, Bolters, is just as well. How come?
Thunderbolt online and mobile casino is a uniquely South African mobile casino. So no tariffs here. You get to enjoy your cash 100% with no one adding on a tariff cost.
So, what is the point of seeking cheaper locally produced goods? It is supposed to protect American industries. It is also meant to encourage manufacturers to set up shop in the United States. Tariffs mean more jobs and higher productivity and profits – in theory, at least.
Who Pays the Tariffs?
The additional taxes are paid by the companies that bring the foreign products into the country. That is, at least, initially. Most businesses are expected to pass all – or a percentage of that extra 30% – on to their customers.
In other words, American consumers are expected to ultimately feel the pinch once that trickle-down effect kicks in. That said, this is the purpose of trade tariffs. It is not meant to annoy folks, but rather force them to buy local instead. Is that a good or a bad thing? Who knows…
Who or What Gets the Cash Benefit of Trade Tariffs?
On that note, who benefits from the inflow of cash? The American government, of course. Tariffs are basically another way for the government to raise revenue. Whether these funds ever trickle down to the consumer is yet to be seen.
On the other side of the world in Mzansi, tariffs mean falling demand, cancelled orders and job losses. For an economy such as ours, tariffs are a disaster. Only diversification into alternative markets or successful schmoozing of the big kahuna can save the day – and that takes time and effort!
Tariff-Induced Tantrums on the Rise
In the meantime, the tantrum tempo is rising all over the world. If you are in Brazil, you are seriously in the dwang, along with Switzerland and Canada. They all have tariffs higher than ours. For reference, the baseline for the rest of the world is between 10% and 15%. That is half of what we have to contend with…
Right, that is tariffs and tantrums taken care of. Now for the T&Cs at Thunderbolt mobile casino. The good news is that the cost of playing games online (aka, the bets) is offset by our bonuses, promotions and cash winnings! That, Bolters, is hard to beat!
