Sorry, this isn't some bonus hunting environment. This is an opportunity to join some of the fairest, quickest paying, reliable, and most stable casinos on the market. You're suggesting to join whatever clipjoint for whatever bonus. This will only escalate more problems with these problematic casinos.
And what's wrong with a sticky bonus anyway??
Sorry Mr.Meister - only expressing my opinion (hence the "IMHO" in brackets)!
I thought that was one of the main purposes of a forum like this - to share experiences, advice and opinions. That's why I visit every day now!
Due to my personal experience, it is my opinion that sticky bonuses, in 9 out of 10 cases, are worth 3/5 of F.A. The only time they are useful is if you make it to the end of the WR with more than your deposit + the sticky thing, or as a last gasp chance to recover all your losses, should you suffer the humiliation of blowing all your deposit before meeting the WR! Both these scenario's are fairly unlikely in my experience. But maybe that's just my bad play!
I think in most cases you'd be better off not taking this bonus (with the WR albatross around your neck), then you can quit when you're ahead!
While we're on the subject of opinions, here are some more of mine about online gambling & gamblers, for everyone to see! These are
MY opinions - you can agree, criticize, laugh, cry, or boil them up and make a stew out of them - but you CAN'T take them away from me!
a) All the readers & posters to this site are intelligent people who know there is no way to beat the maths & the casino in the long run. Otherwise they would all be off making themselves into multi-millionaires and not 'wasting time' visiting this site, now wouldn't they?
b) Due to opinion 'a', the vast majority of gamblers are looking for that little 'edge' or 'head start' to give them a fighting chance of actually beating the casino - hence we are all bonus hunters to one extent or another.
c) Whatever anyone says, if they are playing with real ca$h - they want to win. If they were just playing for fun - the would use a 'fun-money' account for 15 minutes, get bored, and then go and watch a documentary about ant-eating spiders on the telly.
d) Some posters here (no names!), take what other people say, gambling, and life in general, FAR too seriously!
e) The bigger your bankroll, the more likely you are to hit a diabolical losing streak.
q) Stress is bad for your health, fun is good for your health.
z) Some people have awful trouble with their alphabet.
Good luck to everybody!!! (especially me!)
