Considering all the negatives I tend to hear about online casinos ( most well deserved), I'd love to hear about wins! The biggest I ever won was $500 at an online casino. I'd love to hear about your biggest win ( and paid) and what casino it was at.
My biggest payout was $75 bucks just this past Sunday morning 2/8/04... It was my first ever as an online player, and only cost me several hundred bucks of play to get it.
Now for many of you, I've posted enough on Casinomeister that you know that I represent myself as an idiot n00b, and indeed I am.
I entered into the online gaming world in Jan 04 with bonus stars in my eyes but thanks to the forum postings and repeated warnings by the moderators to read the "terms and conditions" I've blown some money and learned a lot this past month.
Guys, as a n00b I have to give hats off to Captain Cooks. Being a new player, Captain Cook's has a good introductory bonus, and I took them up on it. Much to my chagrin, I burned through the Captain's bonus and a few other casino bonuses as well.
Since then, I've tried Captain's with no bonus. The freedom of no bonus burden is wonderful. Somehow Sunday morning, on one of the $20s I slapped down, I crawled myself into a $75 balance. Hungry for my first payout ever, I went through the cashout process. I was shocked this Tuesday morning when my Firepay account reflected a $75 credit, barely 48 hours after my cashout. Granted, they required the minimal email paperwork for a first time cashout but it couldnt be any more intrusive than the cameras, microphones and intrusiveness that we find at a land based casino.
Hats off to my first payoff!
