Given a bonus of 50€ for spotting an error!

[shoust]

I was playing roulette on betvoyager last fortnight and I realised this error, which decreased my balance by one euro cent(0.01€), however I played on, after that I went to player's history and it stated my loss on that session was 15.91, however looking through, the total loss was 15.90, I noted customer support via their mail system(it did take unusually long though this time, about a week and a half), and I got that 0.01€ back.

Also to my surprise I was given a 50 euro bonus

Not long after that I won a bit and withdrew 100€ leaving the bonus in plus 50€ more that I won

Talk about good luck

At least they offered you a bonus as thanks for finding an error, most casinos wouldn't even say thanks or they would try to argue with you about the issue.

They are giving nice sign up bonus too
And rewarding players for finding errors - common practice at BetVoyager.

I don't get it.
They offer Zero percent house edge on all games as well as the same games with house edge.
Why would anyone play the games with house edge?
How does the Casino make its money?

Because House Edge valid only in a long run. It's just increased payout.
And it will not affect on your win or loss.

Sorry, I still don't get it.
I can play a 98% or 100% version of the same slot how does that not effect on my win/loss?
If I play 100% roulette should I not break even overall?

Whatever the house edge has over you, your method of play will would affect the outcome in the end, but generally if you are constantly betting 1 unit on black, no matter how many spins your expected bankroll after a period of time will be around about more or less the same,the same method on a game with a house edge, the expected bankroll after a period of time is virtually guaranteed to be less because of the zero(edge).

EDIT: Question, how do you "thank" people here? I think its the scales button but not so sure, another similar forum I frequent has a "Thanks" button near the "quote" button.

[Rusty]

Click the thanks button.

I don't think people understand what I am asking.

I do.
I have seen this issue discussed at some length on another forum and I generally agree with this view:-
The casino has an 'infinite' bankroll, but the player has a finite bankroll (his deposit). Playing any game, regardless of house edge, will result in swings in fortune up & down. The casino can stand the player reaching any heights, but the player can only swing so low before he busts out.

The other thing I believe in is player greed; the player will not be happy to play indefinitely just to break even - he wants to win! Therefore he will take bigger risks to try to achieve this (e.g. martingaling on roulette) and is more likely to bust out than the casino software which doesn't even know of the existence of the word 'greed'

Just my 2c!

Thanks KK that makes sense (sort of) but what I still do not get is why there are Two versions of each game available?
Why would anyone play the same slot at 97% when they can play at 100%, why is that option even there?


By the way One thing I do like about this Casino is that they give you the reel strips of each slot and so the symbols are never changed and you can calculate the returns yourself if you have the will or the time.
