Do you play differently depending on whether you're using a bonus or not?

Like for instance do you take greater risks on your bets when using a bonus as opposed to non bonus deposits? Or do you always spin how you do regardless of bonuses or not?
 
Always the same. 20 or 40p or 30p if its a 15p min spin game. if the games are really poor i may go to a pound on a boom or bust set
 
Of course! So much more frivolous with bonus cash as I know I won’t meet wagering without a big hit anyhow lol.
Pfft, honestly

I've done £1000+ wagering on 20p bets before, granted it took a while, but it is doable.

These days I wouldn't even attempt such a challenge because I'm, well, just too lazy :eek:
 
I am mixed with bonuses because sometimes even not monster hits, nice hits, that I'd cash on easily I have to work at and weather the storm to get a nice cash out.

Had it the other day with a basic 50.00 deposit at 100% match, had 850 bucks within a few minutes and wanted to cash but I then had to start to work it and was able to actually cash out over 1000. But i was chipping away and getting a bit low and was able to bring it back.

But yea large hits Im fine with any type of bonus playthru as it's pretty easy to achieve.
 
Ive had good luck with bonuses. I knew I was going to get burned one time or another. Last week I hit $1100 on 80 cent bet on a merkur slot and didnt make wager. And wager wasnt even that bad..fokkin hell m8
 
I'd say on average I've cashed out more with bonuses for sure, but then that's to be expected with the usual doubling of the bankroll.

Mind you, good bonuses are hard to come by, especially the 100%ers, not to mention the extortionate wagering and game exclusions nowadays :cool:

How is this even possible? Did you ranp up the betsize?

What do you consider a "good" bonus tho? Just curious really is all as like I said I'm dabbling more into them.

Well, I don't know how it is in America with casinos, bonuses etc

I'd consider nothing less than 50% for a bonus, 100% ideally, little or no game restrictions and about 30- 40x wagering.

Not even sure they exist anymore :laugh: but they sure as hell used to, two or three years ago, regularly.

Not even sure it's worth taking that many because casinos love to impose all manner of hurdles in the T & Cs :cool:
 
Bet higher on a bonus. Once I lose the bonus money I go back down to regular sized bets

Saved me some typing!
Those would have been my exact answers too :thumbsup:

That's cool then because most of the ones that I use are 100 to 200% at x30, x35 or x40. The casinos I use are all pretty much like that and have no max cashout.

Like for instance here's one I plan to use

That's typically what I come across and use daily.. But there is always a standards 100 to 150% somewhere at x30. Most I use are all x30

Should be careful. That is deposit plus the bonus with those guys. so if you deposit and get 100% its really 60x wagering

I haven't really see to many that don't include both, although most of my playthrus are about 2500 to 3k and I've found them manageable.

Overall I prefer throwing in 50 to 200 bucks and just working it, then I just can do whatever

Yeah welcome to murica. Most casinos from there come with a wager of 60x+.

Here, I dont take bonuses over 40x the bonus. The Caddell casinos I play in are 35x the bonus which is pretty good these days. But there is alot more competition here for casinos to make fair or more enticing wagering. 60x wagering to me is pure wtf no way. When casinomax and their sister site came out, I took about 10-15 deposits with bonuses. I never came close to making their 60x wager. So Now if I feel like having a go on rtg, I dont take one. Way too hard for me to get there.

I think I saw ignition wager is lower than 60x. Might be wrong though. So could check that one out. Has RTG and some other provider cant remember the name
 
Nice thing to deposits bonuses at least for UK players and some groups make same for all because easier deploy to all in platform, that they start to (and for some groups are already) "non sticky" bonuses, so if you deposit £100, you first play with your own money and if you haven't touch to bonus and win, you can void your bonus anytime and withdraw winnings which you have won with your own money which is used first.

Some casinos already are showing your real money and bonus money balance separately and others will follow at least for UK because of UKGC , ASA and CMA ruling as not letting players take out their winnings if these, is misleading advertisement especially for new players that if you win big your first spin, you can't cash out. Not sure which casinos have implemented it already, but from these who are, you can expect less deposit bonuses like this it's just extra if you happen to loose your own money and wish to still play little bit own the house with bonus which then have wagering requirements. Because of this, some casinos don't even offer first deposit bonuses for new players, some do but don't really know which all groups have implemented this already, but there are some casinos which are :)
 
How is this even possible? Did you ranp up the betsize?

Oops thats actually inaccurate. I finished wager with just over $200. My deposit was $200 and Had like 3k wager. After wagering about $800 I got that hit that my balance just over $1200 total.

I kept my bets at .80 only. I lost $1000 wagering $2000. All the slots were just nightmare cold after that hit.
 
Depend on from the way how to get bonuses
If I feel that i really want to play I don't care about bonus searching
But when I have some free time - why not!
