why use bonuses ?

[peteyweestro]

hey all i was wondering why most people still use bonuses to play online when you know that most online casinos use the bonus the most for denying your winnings, to me to know that and still take it then having to wager it x amount of times which has now added another level of difficulty to yourself to me doesn't make sense.It's like telling your boss at work that you want to work 3 times harder and longer for the same pay as all the regular employees, would anyone here do that ? i don't deposit more than like $30 at a time and the absolute max is $50 so it's not like i'm some high roller whos lookin down his nose or anything, i just wanna understand is all.by the way i will take a free no deposit chip because to me it's different then putting conditions on my own money

Just wanted to chime in... I have no comment at the moment.

I hope this thread gets action with or without my participation.

That's the only kind of bonus I use too.

a good deal lately is the vc members bonus. each week 45 gbp for giving 2250 in action. credited post-wagering, and says on their site plainly "no fuss, no denials if you win money from us, just play the required amount during each period and get 45 gbp placed in your account each time, no strings attached." i've done very well on this and last month's weekly offers.

aside from that, the only other bonuses i take are the standard monthly bonuses at top-quality sites, and shy away from special and shady-smelling offers. else i just play my own money, a little at a time and try to double, triple it up or better, mostly on cards and vp.

I don't take a bonus on a deposit if they add it I email
an request that they remove it if they dont remove it I email them back an tell them to refund my money as I will not be playing

You get a good play an then have to still play to meet the wag req
by then you have used up all your cash so heck what is left to withdraw

might as well feed my money to the garbage disposal

If you don't take bonuses, you are expected to lose money over time. If you wager enough, you are almost certain to have a net loss. Bonuses can shift the odds in your favor or at least reduce the size of your losses. Yes, some bonuses are bad, and some casinos are bad. This doesn't mean all bonuses are bad, nor does it mean you should expect problems, if you take a bonus.

yes I take bonuses

positiv: longer play - more money for my deposit
negativ: too met the wag. req.

in some casinos I have a VIP Status, and the wag. rq. are only 5 times bonus+deposit

I do not play with bonuses where you have a max cash out limit.

I only play with bonuses and I am very happy for the outcomes I had.

To avoid the stupid casino tricks I follow this simply few rules:

- I read carefully the T&C
- I only play in accredited casinos

And then patience, patience, patience to meet the WR. Maybe I have been lucky (until now and I keep my fingers crossed for the future ) but I have always been paid my winnings.

I like bonuses - I make sure I read T & C of every bonus. I have cashed out using bonuses. I do only take the bonuses where I would deposit though Im afraid of the freebies.

I estimate have lost 1-2K$ playing slots over the last 4 years. If I had not
gotten the 15K$+ slot bonuses the loss would have be much worse, and I would not have been able to play as much also.

With bonuses: -2K$
Without bonuses:-17000$

I actually never play slots without a bonus since I fully realize what I am up against.
