How much money have you made in total from poker/blackjack? also...

[Guest kokyu]

Evening lads and ladies, I've made a site for bonus bagging with a few friends.

FundMyDegree.com

I'd really appreciate any feedback you might have, after all, it was the rllmuk community that alerted me to all this in the first place. If you're feeling really generous, could you please sign up for the forum there and just make a post about how much money you've made from bonus bagging blackjack @ casinos. That would be swell. If you can't be bothered (but think of the children!) just post in here how much you've made

Personally, total blackjack bonus bagging profit: £2000

[Poet]

I've made a smidgen over £10k from poker and blackjack bonuses and play since starting my thread. So in under 5 months.

The site is nice and simple - I like it. Just a thought - did you ask wizardofodds.com when you took some of their info? Otherwise, nice. Hope you get a little cash out of it.

[Guest kokyu]

10k How much of that is tied up in bankroll though?

The only thing I've taken from wizardofodds.com is the table, and I've modified that to make it simpler, and I've still retained his site address on it. I haven't emailed him asking permission, I would have thought the extra publicity would have been a good thing not bad? Technically, seeing as I've changed it a bit (replaced hit/split and hit/surrender cells, recoloured double if not stand cells and added a colour coded key) do I "own" it? I'll email him anyway I think.

Up to $3k in bankroll (so under £1,750), assuming I'm playing mostly $5/10. Right now I only have just under $1,200 in PartyPoker after tonight, so mainly playing $2/4 as, after a hit of $1,000 over the weekend (yes, that's right - $1,000, over $900 of which was in one session. It still hurts plenty, and yes, it was a horrific session), I'm taking it easy this week, nursing some wounds. Played for about an hour tonight, made $125 and logged back out.

And dunno about the wizardofodds thing - you're probably absolutely fine, but just thought I'd mention it.

I've made about £500 since I started at Christmas. That's mostly Intercasino monthlies and a few of the sign-ups discussed in the main thread. Plan to move onto Poker pretty soon as soon as I get another couple of books read and my limit game sorted.

[bruce forsyth]

I'm up to $500 now, only done a couple of poker bonuses and a couple of casino bonuses.

I'm keeping it all in my bankroll so I can start playing $0.5/$1 limit when I get some time, I've moved up from $.01/.02 in November to being comfortable/profitable at $.25/.50 to do the low level bonuses.

Poet - which site would you recommend for some nice soft $.50/$1 limit games?

EDIT: and don't point me to your Rllmuk ring game thread don't want to be taken to the cleaners.

[Poet]

The softest low limit cash ring games I've played are found at PartyPoker. Perhaps not the cash game I want to set up (though the way I've been losing, I'd shower you in money) but PartyPoker is great. You can play on the beginner tables for 45 days - I seriously recommend it.

[Bushby]

I keep a running total going in my sig...because I'm like that I guess.

It's all blackjack bonuses baring the £374 I made on Paddy Power due to excessive jamminess on Video Poker. I started in November last year, recon all in all it's taken me about 40 hours to do. It's like a job really.

[bruce forsyth]

Some of them are zero risk. The William Hill one for example - you put £50 in, they give you £50 bonus. You play blackjack with THEIR £50 bonus so if you lose £50 before you have finished the £1250 wagering requirement you just stop and take your£50 out. No harm done.

They're not all like that though...

[Guest kokyu]

Hard Rock (see my sig) gives the player a 98% chance of ending up in profit playing at £1 a hand. £50 bonus, takes about an hour to do.

How many times have you withdrawn before completing the wagering? They will catch you eventually, and since many casinos are linked with WH through at least their software, a ban there will see you banned at all of them. You're killing your golden goose.

[bruce forsyth]

Never had to so far, only been doing the casino bonuses since friday. Was going to withdraw from littlewoods but from what you're saying I should just wait for next months bonus, and hope that goes better, right?

I took your advise. $10 up after my first little session on the $0.25/.50 beginner tables, and that was with some fairly bad beats (e.g. my set of jacks rivered by an inside straight). They really don't like that fold button

[Commander Jameson]

Well, my February streak has seen me lose all my profits from as far back as the start of Nov 2005. I'm down to 48 USD and 78 GBP after 9 months of play.

Not tried any bonuses because I can't play high enough stakes for enough raked hands without losing all my money. Might have to look at other games.

[Guest kokyu]

CasinoUK has a good bonus, but it doesn't allow Video Poker (well, it does, but only at 1/4 wager rate) or Blackjack, so what would be the next best thing to play?

[mrben09]

i made $826 in Jan . $152 this month, using poker to to supplement my shit BJ bonus chasing.

[bruce forsyth]

Woo, broke through the $1000 barrier yesterday!

[Mr Spew]

How many times have you withdrawn before completing the wagering? They will catch you eventually, and since many casinos are linked with WH through at least their software, a ban there will see you banned at all of them. You're killing your golden goose.

You only have to complete the wagering if you want to keep the bonus money.

[Rog]

They will assume that you use your own money first, ie if the bonus is 25/25, and your balance drops from your initial £50 to £25, casinos in general will assume that the money you have left is bonus money.

Edit. In addition to the above, at WH in particular the wagering rolls over to the next month if you don't complete it. If you withdraw (or if you wipe out) and you've only completed 250 of the 500 WR, next month it'll be 750.

[Guest kokyu]

Yeh, WillHill is sneaky like that. As an update on the site status, blackholebonus.com has been reduced to just a list of online casinos that offer bonuses with indepth fact files on each, whilst all the tutorials and beginners information has gone to FundMyDegree.com I think both sites are looking pretty sexy even if I do say so myself, courtesy of some spanking template action. The BHB one was free ffs! If anyone has any comments/suggestions/requests (not "Goldfinger by Shirely Bassey") then please let me know, feedback is greatly appreciated.

Good luck boys and girls.

a mate at work showed me a similar site to yours the other day. so far, i've made just over £115 profit from virgin games and hard rock. almost done getminted too, i'm up on the table and my bonus just got credited to my account this morning, so i just have to wager that and collect more easy money. this is awesome

[bruce forsyth]

Made over $2000 so far from this + poker/bonuses! Think I've done all the easy ones now (although the £5000 skybet was was a little taxing).

Coral

WillHill

Bet365

littlewoods

intercasino

vccasino

Virgin

getminted

hardrock x 2 (they just launched new software meaning you can do this one again if you did it a whlie ago)

Skybet

888.com -(done $10 of $4000 )

Have I missed any obvious ones? I'm not brave enough to do any sticky ones ( or the £10 per hand Ladbrooks one), and the wager req.s of 32red and bluesq are just too high.

Harrods

That's an affiliated link but if it's all the same to you it'd be lovely if you could use it. Good luck! All the terms and conditions have been worked out for you already here

[Mr Spew]

Not sure if they go under a different name, but casino.net are fucking piss easy.

[kev]

hey kokyu, last night i signed up for coral from the link on your site. you might want to fix the link

the sign up link on your page goes to the main page, to qualify for the bonus you need to sign up using the code on this page: http://www.coral.co.uk/ukcasino/#

which you have as the terms and conditions link.

they say they can't add the bonus manually, so i have to close my account and open a new one from the right link. i have to withdraw my deposit first, though, and it doesn't seem to have cleared yet, so they won't let me withdraw it

just thought i'd let you know before you get millions of people complaining about it

[Guest kokyu]

Thank you kindly Mr Kev! Signup and terms and conditions links fixed. Many thanks!

Edit: And a few other links fixed too. I went through checking them all, about 5 were broken. One link even took you to the second level affiliate referal program for GetMinted I wondered how I'd managed to refer another webmaster to the program...

[ukdazs]

I'm £388 up and counting. I've done Virgin, GetMinted, Hard Rock, William Hill and 888.

888 was a grind but it got me £155 profit. Not bad for sitting on the sofa, watching telly while I click my mouse every so often.

I'm still having difficulty believing that this is legal, even though I know it is.

[Richard]

Real noobie question but what type of blackjack do I play?

I've read all the stuff on fund my degree but virgin has multihand blackjack, 21+3 blackjack, european blackjack, table blackjack etc

European blackjack on Virgin.

[Guest kokyu]

Yeh, Poet pointed that out the other day, I'll update the factfiles on blackholebonus.com to clearly state which variant of blackjack to play.
