GoneGambling

I found out about the Gonegambling site a few weeks ago and have become a member. The only casino I now have a membership with that participates with gonegambling is Intercasino and I have taken advantage of the high roller bonus, and playing the Trivia game, etc. My question is, what is the best way to use Gonegambling? They say you have to sign up with some or all of the casinos through them to get some bonuses, that's fine. They say to do this before you play the games that those casinos support. But it ALSO says that unless you have deposited $50 in the past 30 days you are ineligible to receive the bonuses.
So if my logic is correct, you sign up with the casinos through Gonegambling, deposit $50, and then play the Gonegambling games to add to your bonuses?
Is this the best way to use the site? What are the best casinos that they have? I need to check them out against the Meister's accredited list, of course, before I deposit any money, but I can see this costing two or three hundred to get started with several casinos. Thanks for any info you can give me.
I first heard about this a while back from CS at Roxy Palace. Since I am pretty certain now that my recent "Flush of success" has killed forever my chances of the Newsletter 30% matches, I thought I would take a look.
I have been playing the site hard for under a week, so I have barely started. Some things are not quite as they seem, but they are usually more generous rather than worse.
In order to get the very most out of the games, an account (one with $50 or more deposited & wagered 1x in last 30 days), at all the main sponsors is needed. This is because prizes are won without regard to the casinos you actually have, if you don't have the account, the prize is simply lost, no alternative. The key to getting started is to NOT open the accounts you need, but bid for them in the auction. Few bids for new accounts are contested, and go for $50. You get the new player bonus as usual from the casino, but included is a number of so called "get lucky vouchers". These are a scratchcard game where you can win bonuses from $10 to $25 with a randomly casino, and if it is one you don't have, then hard luck! An estimate of the mean value of the vouchers is presented, such as "25 casino getlucky, $250". This means you bid $50 for the account. If you win, you get a special E-mail with a download link. You must then create the account and deposit at least the amount of the bid (this is how you pay for the bid, you don't pay the $50 to goneGambling as well). You then have to send back proof of the account and the deposit, and they add the vouchers to your account for your enjoyment (they actually are fun, one voucher can win you 4 new vouchers etc, so 25 vouchers can mean much more than 25 goes on the getlucky game. Prizes are in GG points, which are worth 1c each. They can be used on the site, AND, redeemed as a $25 chip once per casino per 30 days. Spare GG points are banked.
You must then make a SECOND deposit at the casino with your own money (not a GG redemption or prize), and this casino accountis then active with respect to prizes after this deposit of at least $50 is played through once.
You have 5 days to complete an auction deal and claim the vouchers. Once allocated, they must be played within 15 further days or they expire. Ocasionally, a repeat deposit is auctioned. You bid however much you want to deposit at the casino, which must be played at least TWICE through before withdrawal (I'm sure you all know why!), and you prove the deposit and win a small number (usually 7) of the getlucky games, which give the "deposit bonus" element of the deal. If you are going to deposit again anyway (or within 5 days), these are worth bidding for.
High Roller - I have found out this is not quite as good as it seems. I deposited some $1500 at one FL and 1200 at another. The high roller is 10% on $500 or more, but, as it turns out, only the first $500 counts, and both bonuses are only 50 credits, BUT, you can do this at them all, again once in 30 days. If played right there is a lot of free chips, but you can't hoard them in one casino, they are spread thinly.
The sponsor casinos measure the success by how many NEW accounts they get out of it, and there are many more of these at auction than repeat deposits, at least till the weekly quota of new accounts is met.
Additional points:-
ALWAYS TAKE INSURANCE when playing "boom or bust", this has a "bankrupt", and it wipes EVERYTHING. Insurance is 5c a play, and I just escaped bankruptcy of some $350 worth of GG points!!!!!
Join 7 Sultans and Fast Win, then sign up for the daily free getlucky ticket (you need to reapply every 7 days).
Do NOT play the "getlucky" vouchers if your PC or internet connection is misbehaving, malfunction voids the ticket, and the prize is lost. (This cost me 5000 GG points
).
Be a BRIT!!!!!!!!! - Redeem into your UK accounts in preference to the USD ones, the GG points redeem as CHIPS and not "Bucks", and are worth nearly twice as much in real world terms (casinos may do this because it's easier than pratting around with currency conversions), but woe betide the player who "prats around" by opening UK accounts purely to work over the GG point redemptions. The term "promotional abuse" will probably appear, and I am sure I know which sponsors will call "foul" first!
The downside:-
Blackjack ballroom, captain Krooks, yukon gold --- well, do I need to go on!
I have sent "Emma" a sugar coated E-mail after ignoring her pleas and lucky chip all month (lucky I wasn't rude earlier about that stupid lucky chip wheeze - unless she finds the phrase "touchy about bonuses" rude!). I will be forwarding their T & C to my Lawyer before I redeem anything
I will just remind her how MUCH I DEPOSITED when Casino Action had Aztec Riches, but I think she might have worked this out herself!
I will "forget" about Phoenician and that "certain" Royal Flush last year, don't want her seeing that
Lastly, I believe greedygirl has alot to do with GoneGambling, she was working me over in the auction rooms until I found out exactly how it worked. (The bid DISPLAYED is always 1 point above the previous, rather than the TRUE bid submitted - it then automatically outbids further bids for you until your true bid is exceeded). I really could not work out how they were outbidding me less than one second after my mouse clicks!!!!!
