With getminted casino I don't appear to be getting a bonus, should it be added onto the balance or is it something to do with the redeem points tab or what?

[bruce forsyth]

I think they just add it on to the balace, but only after you have done the wager req. looking at my account history it goes from £46 to £96 on the last session. How many £s have you bet so far?

About £600.

Will wait and see what happens tomorrow as that is the end of the 72 hours.

What the hell are the points about? I've looked in the site's help and can't find anything at all explaining them.

Edit: Ignore the last bit. Found a bit about them just as I posted that. I have 30p worth of points! Woo!

Must be a couple of grand, completely lost track

[Mr Spew]

I'm doing fucking terrible.

Got the Casino.net bonus, bet it all away in two hands.

Went through the Virgin Casino Blackjack, got upto £75 with the bonus (put in £50), should have cashed out but I fucking didn't, lost it all.

Put £25 into Coral, found it difficult to get anywhere and lost it all.

I'm fucked.

[Guest kokyu]

Mr Spew you are living proof why the casinos will not pull these bonuses. Stop being stupid. Take a break for a few days, come back and do it PROPERLY and rescue your bank balance.

[Mr Spew]

Yeah, I will do.

*Envy*

I'm doing the Getminted one at the minute. I'm up to £250 wagered and i'm currently up by 50p.

I'M RICH!

Drinks on Boggy.

SkyBet. Bricked myself about putting £500 on to qualify for the £250 bonus. After playing it all night, I ended up with a bankroll of £730 - and the bonus hasn't even been put on the account yet!

Woah.

That's awesome. I'll do that one next, I think.

[Super Lurker]

While playing through the £250 in order to withdraw it, I got another £30 profit

Righto, I've got to £500 wagered on getminted. Do I just wait a few days for them to credit the bonus and then wager that through or do I have to get to £550 first?

[Guest kokyu]

Wait a few days for them to credit you your bonus then wager it once through.

[BoggyB]

Jolly good. In a few days, Get minted should have bought me a DS lite.

Good times.

[kev]

just got myself £217.50 on totesport, my highest so far

takes my total to £586, in a week and a day. AWESOME.

[BoggyB]

Blimey. How much are you betting each time? Betting the lowest, £1 in most cases, seems to make me lose half of my original deposit which is then made up by the bonus.

[kev]

When I was doing smaller bonuses like getminted, hard rock, virgin etc, I was generally wagering about £1-3 per time depending on how well i was doing, so that a bad run wouldn't completely wipe me out. but totesport, for example, was a £100 deposit, the bonus was added straight away, so you start with £200, and have to wager £4000 before you can take out the bonus. So on there I was wagering £5 a go, or it would have taken forever

[ukdazs]

I got robbed by Starluck last night. Finished my wagering $50 or so down (not including the bonus) but then got a referral bonus of $25 which needs to be played through 6 times. Problem is, you can't play Blackjack. By the time I've played through it, my balance will be about... $0.

Arses.

I was, and I was losing, but I'll check wizardofodds to see where I'm going wrong.

"Forever" isn't strictly true though is it. You're setting yourself up for a big fall playing at those levels. Keep it low and boring - a. it reduces your likelihood of getting addicted cos it's dull and b. you'll consistently win rather than fluctuate wildly.

[kev]

I would have dropped down to a lower wager if things weren't going particularly well, as I've done before. It just so happens that this time, things never went badly, so I didn't have to.

[Rog]

Playing a larger hand only affects your profits on short term basis, in the long term it has the benefit of reducing the time you spend playing.

[Guest kokyu]

Mathematically it's likely but not that likely. I don't think there's really enough casinos to produce a large enough sample size for overall profit to reduce to normal distribution.

If anyone doesn't understand the above just remember this - bigger hand sizes leads to a greater fluctuation in profit, both positive and negative profit. Smaller hand sizes will mean your profit is much closer per casino to whatever the bonus amount is. Safety first - play small.

[Crhis]

Just done my first one on Virgin, came out with £20.50 profit.

Not bad for an hour.
