Question Is it better to take a bonus or not?

Curiosity got the best of me. I usually don't fall for jokes.

I googled that name. Wow

Seems like a forum troll!!!


I went on his YouTube channel....very interesting.

What exactly did he do?

D

You were that curious about him you went and viewed his youtube channel.

Now I never knew he had one and neither would anyone else till you kindly bought it to our attention.

Now lets hope he doesn't get many visitors as I checked it out and its videos of starburst mainly and references to the you know what.

But I suppose its best place for him as hes no longer taking over forums just hope no idiots actually find his videos and think it works.
 
I found a new casino which I will not name, if I understood correctly the bonus wager requirement is 100 times the bonus, is the standard practice on many casinos?

They are accredited here.


D

Generally no. I would think that a great many of the members here would say those wagering requirements are "quite a challenge".
But high WR is (on it's own) not a reason to deny a casino accreditation. For all you know, that might be the only "con" they have against them.
Many people here will gladly avoid bonuses, even those where the WR is only 30 times the bonus.

As for the casino which you will not name, I can't hazard a guess as to which one it is. But there should be some members here who do know.
Also, don't be "afraid" to name the casino, as there may be many members here who play at this unnamed casino who have nothing but high praise
for them, despite the high wagering requirements.

It's ok to name a casino as long you are polite in your enquiries regarding their bonuses. It's when you start going into "rant mode" that it
will become a problem.

You said you want to gain knowledge by being here. Help your fellow CM member help you by giving more information. :)

I really have no interest in Johnny got the bone claims. I know it's impossible to predict the outcome of a payout. Good for him. I am sure he is a successful starburster as he claims! Whatever that means.

I don't want to talk about him. His you tube channel is his and has nothing to do with my very bad mood on losing 400 dollars today.

I made an error. The wager requiremwmt where I lost was 50 times the bonus. Not the bonus and deposit. Forgive my error.

I really took a hit. I guess member was right about star burst. Awful today.

Casino luck said it would take 3-5 days to get my 6000 dollars. Everyone on this forum has nothing but good things to say about them so I am not worried.

What a bad run today.

The way the great withdrawal at Casinoluck and the "bad run" yesterday seems to affect your mood is quite worrying. You seemed to be thrilled which is quite understandable after your Casinoluck win, but you also seem to be very frustrated after you loss yesterday.

If there is just one hint I can give you before you really dig into online-casinos: don't let wins/loses take over/affect your mood and the way you are dealing with your friends/family. This can be just the first step into really grave problems.

Starburst generally can be considered as a low-variance game (meaning big-hits like above 100x your stake are rare but you might hit 'something' frequently). So your absolutely stunning run at Casinoluck is gonna be a rather unique occurrence. It's fine that you study the accredited list thoroughly before you play but please be aware of potential risks. Having such a great experience the first time you play might give you the (wrong) feeling of invulnerability. Please keep in mind: The house always wins.

Cheers!
 
Thanks for the advice.

I didn't win my roll on star burst btw.

Many others paid well.

Well over the loss.
I won't get caught into the trap.
After withdrawal arrives I will play again.

What I wonder and worry about is casinos in general. And their bonuses. Eg. If a casino is not accredited, can it be trusted? Is the bonus legit? I wish inhad more time to research the bonuses. For now I'll stick to accredited casinos.

You don't really need to play outside the accredited list. There are tons of casinos in there, all software-providers are present and the list keeps growing and growing (lots of casinos are in the BBF currently).

But if you occasionally like to play at non-accredited casinos, like I do, you will quickly develop a gut-feeling if they are reliable or not. A quick research (ThePogg, Askgamblers, forum-search-function or just a simple google "XYZ casino review", "XYZ casino complaints") will give you crucial information about the casinos. Also there are quite a few affiliate-members here like KasinoKing, rainmaker, Nate and others who carefully choose the non-accredited casinos to promote. This is especially interesting for newer casinos who are reliable but haven't considered accreditation yet.

Glad to see you coped with your losses.

As hedgehok said, affiliates like me and others that he mentioned spend a lot of time researching the casinos we list, and many of us put the key bonus terms on our sites to save players the ball-ache of wading through masses of T&Cs. Not sure about the other sites, but casinos on my sites are listed in order of best to worst bonus & I also indicate which are CM accredited, so if you want to stick to them you can.

No one can say that any casino can be 100.00% trusted; there have been several cases in the past where even accredited casinos have gone off the rails (e.g. Purple Lounge, BetFair, and a few MG groups). But this is very rare and I can't recall any serious cases recently.

For now...

I think I'll stick with casino luck for now, I read many threads about them on other forums as well on this in the most legit of any other online casino at the moment

I was considering also playing at Omni casino, I think playtech has excellent graphics


I got addicted to reading certain people's posts on this forum and other forums, I have not stopped laughing all morning, some people are just too funny.

Do you mind me asking what exactly happened with Purple Lounge, think something did not long after I started playing there but not sure what?

I know they held back on a £400 cashout I had there, but one stern(ish) email later I got paid but that's about it - cheers!
 
I now have regrets having accepted the bonus offer from Euro Palace (I will never accept a bonus anymore), why, is simple: I only play BJ and accepted my account being locked-in until such time I can fulfill the wagering requirements, I could live with that, I only play for leisure and I have lots of time BUT I didn’t count on them changing the playing conditions on me, namely the table limits. There is something unfair and unethical about NOT being able to withdraw and the casino changing the limits when and how they want, it’s a lose-lose situation for the consumer. When you play for 1 unit bet and it suddenly goes up to 10 unit’s minimum, there is a HUGE difference, like 10x the difference. This situation I will be taken up with the appropriate authorities. I will never accept a bonus offer again, ever, unless this issue is amiably resolved.

Hi picassocat.
I suggest you start a new thread about this under Bonus Complaints since this has little to do with the original thread.

And now I see that you'll already started a thread on the 20th Feb and also got an Infraction for cross posting on the 26th.
Not cool :mad:
 
Did casino luck change terms???

I never wagered more than 10 dollars per spin. My withdrawal was approved.

I didn't play BJ

I have 6000 coming to me.

Do I need to worry?

Sorry to say, but did you read paragraph 9 of the bonus rules?

9. In the interest of fair gaming and prevention of bonus abuse there is a maximum allowed stake per bet until the wagering requirement has been met. This maximum stake is €$£ 6.50. If the player’s account is in a different currency the equivalent amount in that currency applies. To check recent currency conversion rates, please use www.oanda.com. A Bet is defined as one roulette/slot spin, one dealer's dealt hand in any table game or one deal in any Video Poker game (including Multi-Hand/Play games). This rule also applies when using any double up/gamble feature in any game, for example in video poker or slots. The player may not continue to use the gamble feature on a win larger than €$£ 13.00. If any part of this term is broken the player agrees that his bonus and any associated winnings may be void.

So basically, have you wagered more than 6.50€ per spin? If so i assume there will be a problem cashing out i.e. your winnings would be void as you used a bonus and broke the maxbet rule.

I hope this works out well for you, it would be so bad if you oversaw this rule and therefore get your winnings canceled :mad: But if you really wagered up to 10 i have not much hope, sorry.
 
I just received a response from them seconds after my last post over here

My withdrawal has been accepted and processed, there is no problem with my withdrawal, it has been 100% approved

If you played in canadian dollars this rule applies

, on xe.com 10CAD is about 7.13€


But if you say its processed already then it should be fine. Did you cashout to bank account or using an ewallet (skrill, neteller)?

No disrespect intended, but my post does answer the question: Is it better to take a bonus or not? The post I started on the 26th of February, although it contains similarities, is about playing conditions and not a bonus issue. The double posting on the 20th, is true, and I got docked -10 points for it, and will never happen again :cool:
 
I know why

I must've started betting $10 after the requirement was completed, I played much much much more than the requirement by am certain of that

After the requirement is completed, technically I could but as much as I want? Correct?

I do not think I ever placed a bet more than six dollars prior to my $10 bet on starburst which was one balance was well over 7000.

Once you completed the wagering requirments you can bet as you wish.

So if you bet below the limit as the bonus was active and then upped your bet AFTER all wagering was done, you should be fine.
 
Congrats on winning big on starBUST !!! $6000 withdrawal from a deposit under $1000 (I think ?) is quite a sum especially if somehow starbust actually managed to help.

I still stand by my suggestion of not returning to starbust in the near future and never as your main go-to netent slot - it will eventually eat your balance alive. If you are new to netent/MG there are so many other better slots available. Dead or alive and immortal romance are staples of NetEnt/MG and are better than starbust in every way.

Good luck going forward!
