Inter can be a rollercoaster some times but it swings both ways. This month a deposited $90, got the $90 bonus and had my comp points redeemed so I started out with $200. Played $10 per hand and 37 hands later I was down to $20!! Put all that one hand, won and lowered my bets to $5. Then things turned around. I started winning and playing just $5 bets took me from $40 to $260 before the wagerrequirements were even finished. Give a bit of back before finishing but still managed to cash out more than $200...

I totally agree - Crypto fluctuates pretty wildly, but you can catch some interesting runs at times. There have been times when I would be on a losing streak, but then I would just stop playing before the losses became too severe. Other times I could run $300 up to almost $1000 in almost no time.

just went to do my monthly donation. 50 in, 50 bonus, all gone in 191 wagering on pontoon.
Pontoon can be very volatile. One day you win every time you double down on a hard 16, the other day every time you have pontoon, so has the dealer. The variance feels a lot more than its theoretical value.

My personal nemesis is the Ritz Club. Last month was the first time this year I made a profit there, but only with the help of the bonus. I was comfortably up for a long time then I hit a losing streak just before meeting the WR. Another time I had 50 with just 75 short of the WR, and I managed to bust out. My worst result was when I busted out wagering less than 300.

Last month it was like Ritz club was in winning mode.I won 750 and a friend of mine 400.Winning for you too grandmaster.What the heck is going on with Ritz? :eek2: Hope it stays like that :rolleyes:
 
I played the bonus this month - BJ, 29 hands, $10 a pop - dealer won 20, i won 7, push 2. I don't feel comfortable enough to actually play too much of my own money thats for certain.

Sure, it's a bad run but there are choices out there!

Hi Neighbour! Welcome to the forum!

I have my own (conspiracy) theory about Intercasino, even though it remains my favourite;
Because they want to carry on being able to give 100% bonus every month, but don't want to restrict people from playing Blackjack (well known as the most popular casino game), they have 'tweaked' the odds just a tiny bit in their favour to make it harder for people to just BJ their way through WR with minimal risk. These reduced odds probably only operate while people are doing WR.
I have absolutely no proof of course. No one could ever prove it, and they will never admit it. But no-one can prove they don't do it either!
My advice: Don't play BJ at Intercasino, or at least limit yourself to a maximum loss on it before giving up (say $50-ish). They have plenty of other games that do play fair and that I do very nicely from, thank you! ;)

Good luck! :thumbsup:

I did the $80 + $80 in December and was up to over $290 after meeting the wager requirements. Well to cash out you have to wait for your pin via snail mail which in my case took about 2 weeks.

So I figured I was invincible and started betting $25 - $50 a hand and I'm pretty sure you can guess what happened.

This month I also did the $80 + $80. You'd think I would have learned my lesson from earlier but in a hurry to meet the wager requirements I did $20-50 a hand and I'm pretty sure you can guess what happened again lol.

My thoughts:
I COULD HAVE cashed out $290 if I'd waited another week. Did they know I was going to continue playing and weren't concerned about me winning? No because once I did get up to $290 I stopped for a few days while waiting for my PIN number. I could have just as easily stopped playing until I did get my PIN and cashout a modest score but I'm a gooberhead.

Why do you have to wait for your pin to arrive via snail mail?? Because they know how huge the temptation is to play through your winnings while waiting. I have did one worse, way worse than that on 3 seperate occasions while waiting for a pin.

$3800 win at intercasino lost while waiting
$2500 at oriental casino while waiting
$4200 at Aces High

And thousands more, those are just the ones I remember. These were usually for buy ins of about $500 or so, so thats about $12,000 worth of wins that turned into a $1500 loss.

this was when I was way more compulsive than I am now, now days I maybe buy in for $40. When you play $100 a hand, it goes by quick, and you expect that winning streak to come back but it never does/

Willpower was always my biggest downfall, but then again if I didn't engage in such risky behavior I would never have racked up those wins either. I would be great all week, then come the weekend I would probably go out partying and then come back buzzin and feeling invincible and try to win more. And of course, as murphys law would state, the next day the pin would usually show up.
 
Think about it:

Most of these gave have a theoretical 1-5% house edge. If a casino gives liberal bonuses, they are giving their edge away. How could they stay in business without cheating and raising the house edge?

Also, have you ever noticed how the free practice games at online casinos almost always play looser than the real games?

But once you receive the PIN, the withdrawal is instantaneous, and is not subject to "reversal" (like in MG casinos).
