My Experiences after 1 month
Hey everyone,
My name is Gary and I am a relative newbie to the whole online casino business. I don't want this message to sound "spammy" at all but I have been gambling in several online casinos over the past 4 weeks and I thought I would share my experiences and see if other members have had similar or opposite results.
Over the past 4 weeks I have opened accounts at 5 different casinos and have deposited approximately $1000.00usd at each. Since many of the casinos offered coupon bonuses for 1st and even 2nd and 3rd deposits, the total amount wagered at each casino came out to about $1400.00.
I pretty much stick to the same games at each casino which are Blackjack (I usually play multi-hand, 3 hands at a time, $10.00 each hand). And video slots especially ones with bonus rounds and/or progressive jackpots.
Here are my results:
1. Lasseters-Within just a couple of hours I had won $1000.00 on a slot machine (Ghosts and Goblins). I withdrew $400.00 and continued playing with the other $600.00. I had pretty bad luck at Blackjack so went back to the slots. Did just fair for a while and then was down to 0. I put another 300.00 into my account and lost that as well. So in the end, even with the $400.00 withdrawal, I lost about $800.00 of my $1000.00 total investment. Had I quit while I was ahead I would have been up at least 200-300 dollars. I had read other posts on this board about difficulties withdrawing money. This was not the case with me. I got the $400 withdrawal in my Neteller account the same day I requested it.
2. Casino 365- Not too much to say about this one. I really liked their blackjack and was up a little then down a little but in the end lost all of my $1000.00 investment plus the comp money as well. I will say that off all the casinos I joined this was the one that my money seemed to last longest at. It took me almost 4 days (2-3 hours a day) to get down to zero.
3. Lady Dream- As my Neteller account is pretty new I could only withdraw $750.00 from it until transactions cleared. I did a little research to see if their were casinos that accepted a regular US credit card and came across Lady Dream. They offer a standard 25% match play with each deposit and even gave me an extra $100.00 bonus. But even with all that it did not go to well. I played mostly slots since I just could not catch a break on their Blackjack. The money went fast so all and all not a very good experience.
4. Casino Tropez and Vegas Red- I am not sure if they are the same casino but they do have the same games and offer the same comp programs. Definitely the best casino as far as the comps go. You get 100% on the first and then various percentages on your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th deposits. I was definitely way up and way down (I got REALLY addicted to a slot game called Goblin's Cave) so for once I decided to play it smart and quit while I was ahead. I withdrew $700.00inwinnings which I am waiting to clear (it takes 4 days). be careful because when you withdraw you lose any current bonus money you have. I was not aware of this so lost about $100.00 in comps that were in my account.
5. Play United- Play United seems to be a sort of online casino management company that represents several casinos like Atrium Casino, The Harbour Casino,Online Casino Deluxe, Aqua Casino and a few others. It was actually the 1st casino I joined. They send lots of e-mails with various coupon codes so pretty much everytime I deposited I was able to locate a coupon code to get a least 50% match play if not 100%. I played a lot of blackjack, was up and down, but pretty much breaking even. They had some cool video slots and I played those a lot as well. I was enjoying the casino but not making much progress in either direction. But last week, after several hours of gambling, I switched to a one penny progressive slot machine called Card Shark. I was not even paying much attention as I kept clicking the spin button but all of the sudden heard some noises I had not heard before and low and behold I hit the progressive jackpot!!!! $13, 420.00 on a .45 cent bet!! I could not believe my eyes. A message came up that said the win would be verified within 72 hours and just one day later my casino account was credited the 13,420.00. The customer support their was great and they even asked me for a pic of myself to include in their newsletter. To be honest, even a week later, I am still in shock!! So I guess it goes without saying that Play United is now my current and all time favorite!!
So there you have it-my first month as an online casino gambler! As of today I have done some accounting and with all of my loses and my BIG win from United I am currently $9000.00 positive and think I might take a little break from it all and enjoy my winnings

That is a great idea, to take some time off enjoy the cash and then come back in a little while and play some more.
