Hiya be interested to hear just how quick youv"e managed to lose your $$ t an online casino. I received an bonus today from blackjack ballroom so picked up to play some video poker eventually after an hour got bored but had got the original $500 up to over $640. I then went to play an slot called MOONSHINE and i played $5 spins and within 25 mins ALL had gone i received 2 bonus rounds both times giving me 2 free spins at 1x multiplier.Now i reckon thats pretty shocking..anyone else lost so much so quick playing roughly same stakes??

Even though I've had good wins on that game occassionally, I wouldn't have blown the lot on it. I like bonus-round games that guarantee a certain amount of spins. Those pick-em games always let me down!

Certain bonus-hustling techniques (especially for sticky bonuses) would have you bet your entire deposit right away.

So I've lost everything on the first hand a great number of times.

Sorry to split hairs, but don't you mean Phantom bonuses?
Phantom bonuses are lost when you cash out.
Sticky bonuses can't be withdrawn, but stay in your account to be used again.
At least, that's my definition!

The definitions are correct but the terms are rarely, if ever used, in the casinos' terms and conditions. I had a gut feeling that actually all such bonuses were meant to be 'phantom' but some casinos may not have realised this and over took away the bonus after a successful withdrawal. Then there is the conspiracy theory with the playtechs where the bonuses remain in the account so that you feel urged to reverse the withdrawal especially since the pending period is 4 working days.

When encountering 'sticky' bonuses, withdraw the real balance and play in small increments using a martingale system and withdraw bit by bit until you are killed by that system. You should get a healthy addition to your existing withdrawal.

Yeah, you guys are right, I got my lingo wrong.

I don't know what they're called... I just max them out.

**happygobrokey** · 4th October 2007, 06:37 AM

they've also been known to go by sticky type1 and sticky type2, where type 1 is "phantom" and type 2 is "sticky". they're both stuck to your account, even though one type does disappear like a ghost on withdrawal. they're both lame, but in today's atmosphere of impossible bonuses, cashable either doesn't exist or is spent by the end of wagering anyway. so sticky it up (sticky in this case as a verb means use a big bet strategy to help maximize the value from a sticky or phantom bonus)! or i guess this strategy is known as "abuse it up" now.
