I Can't Win With A Bonus!!!

[LonelyHearts]

I guess I shouldn't be complaining. As I haven't deposited in a while. But I've played several freebies over the past week. And it's just sicken! I manage to get $20 freebies up to $250+ and it goes strange down hill. This is a Rival casinos (35X -50X). It pisses me off even though I know its a freebie. Its seems like at a certain point thing justs go cold. I switch from slots to table games. I go on 10 losing streaks in a row. Even during a session of 3 card poker. The deaer had KJ6 I also had KJ6 and the dealer won and took my money. I switch back to slots. I auto spin 50 spins and might get 5 wins out of 50. BONUSES are a waste of time and energy. Its nearly impossible to win with them. YES I AM REALLY REALLY PISSED THE FUG OFF RIGHT NOW!

Maybe if you are honest with yourself you are being a tad greedy? Or your expectations unrealistic.

Personally if I had a $20 free chip anywhere near $200 I would be cashing out! Even if there were still wagering requirements to fulfill it would be academic to grind it out, if already up x10 original chip.

Sorry for this question,but HOW should he cashout when he have a WR to fulfill?
That's certainly not possible, so how should he make a withdrawal with this ND bonus?

I guess you are impying that you can with with hard cash deposit...So its logical you don't play with the bonus LOL
Only kidding

These numerous freebies dished out by Rival casinos are NOT intended to be easy, they are to ensure you return regularly to the casino, and keep it installed on your PC.
If DEPOSIT bonuses were this hard to win from, then it would be worth going elsewhere.
When you DO eventually beat a few Rival freebies, they will stop giving them to you in any case.

Look at it this way, Rival will keep on letting you have free chips UNTIL you beat one, therefore in the long run you WILL have that lucky streak that finally lets you beat WR and cash out. Just don't play this one back.

Once bonus banned, there are a number of Rival casinos that will review your account manually, and possibly allow you further bonuses.

Hi eu_lowroller


The rest of the sentence I said "it would be academic to grind it out, if already up x10 original chip" meaning that if this player is x10 the original freebie balance then completing outstanding WR would be fairly simple to grind out.

ok, sorry wildfire for not understanding this exactly

but you're certainly right, because when you have at least a normal WR on this ND bonus, then you should fulfill this WR without any problems.

It was a 50X wager deposit. I hit on scary rich 2 ($230) on my 10th spin. I haven't even wagered $100 total.

Well, I learnt the hard way with bonuses a few years back and it is from these experiences that Ive decided that you should play with your own funds, and only take a bonus subject to the following guidelines:

* Unless the WR for a 100% bonus is 18XDB or less, I dont use it. Also, the higher the WR the lower the deposit I make.

* Unless the WR for a 100%+ bonus is 20xDB or less, then as above.

* Any bonus LESS than 100% really isnt worth it unless the WR is very low e.g. Some rivals have a 15% bonus with 4xDB which is cool as I would normally wager my deposit 4x anyway in a session. Many places have 50% at 15 or 20xDB which is a total crock.

* I dont have the right to complain about any FREE chip that I receive that isnt a cashback etc or related to a deposit. I just accept the terms and if I think they are really hopeless and not worth it I just dont play it E.g. I have a few ND bonuses from Vegas Regal for $50 with a 55xWR and a max cashout of 150 - I havent used them as I just know Im going to hit something huge trying to meet the WR and end up with $1000 at the end and have to give up $850 of it in cold blood - I would rather deposit my own $50 and take the whole $1k.

We should remember that there is no such thing as a free lunch, as they say, and it isnt the casinos' aim to make it as easy as possible for you to win. Just treat ND bonuses as a bit of fun....if you find yourself getting fired up etc all the time just stop playing them as the only one losing out is you . I mean, is it really worth it to lose hair over something that didnt cost you anything in the first place?

The long and short of it is that since I changed my play style as per above I have had a LOT more success and a LOT more cashouts....remember, each cashout is another few sessions at other casinos etc and it means you dont have to keep dipping into your own pocket as much. It doesnt mean I dont lose, and sometimes my deposits go like a flash, but it does mean that if I hit a nice one I can keep it!! (and that is where you will notice the big difference when you play without bonuses)

Believe me LonelyHearts, you sound just like me several years ago so I know exactly where you're coming from.

Its only my opinion based on my experience but I hope it helps someone

Some rivals have a 15% bonus with 4xDB which is cool as I would normally wager my deposit 4x anyway in a session.

At "Royal Apollo" i have even a 25% bonus with only a 4x WR (but only for click&buy), but at the opposite is there also a 30% bonus with a ridiculous 35x WR in my cashier *lol*
