InterCasino Monthly Bonus.....
On a side note I noticed that if you play at the regular single player table the minimum bet is $2.00, but at the single player multi-hand table the minimum bet is $1.00. So if you ever do want to play just a dollar a hand you can join the multi-hand table and just play a single hand. The rules of the game remain the same. Peculiar eh?

Well, thanks for that info !!! I never like playing blackjack with minimum wager above $1. I know of some other people who would like to know this! Makes me wonder if this would also be the case at 32Red Casino! Thanks again.:)
 
For LeonShuffle - Hello kind sir, I need your experience please. I signed up at Eurobet and trasferred my GPB from SPORTS to CASINO and entered the proper code for the bonus and received the following:

Your transaction was successful
Your transaction was successful
The Bonus Code has been accepted and passed on to the Casino.

However, under the bonus category there is nothing, not even an indication that I am working on the bonus. When I reach the 625 WR will the bonus just appear or did I do something wrong?

quick question, what does it mean to pad the WR? thanks

It means I am placing additional wagers over and above what I needed to hit the bottom line withdraw requirement (WR) for the bonus money. Rather than just hitting the withdraw requirement and then transferring everything out I stayed and played longer to make it seem a little less like I was simply bonus hunting. While it may cost me a few dollars, the monthly $100.00 bonus from InterCasino is cashable and I want to be welcomed back and not labeled as a "bonus abuser" with my account terminated.

thanks. im currently on my first bonus hunt at bet365.com right now
 
Gregory, this is from Eurobet's terms and conditions:

2a. The amount of 25 chips will be added to GBP, EUR and USD account holders’ Casino chip balances within 48 hours of wagering (staking) a total of 625 chips or more from their own funds on any play for real game within the Eurobet Casino, and having followed the procedure in point 1.

And point 1 is just that you need to transfer money to the casino and enter the bonus code. I see now that it's not a big bonus (I could have sworn it was 50 when I first signed up), but for a WR of just 625, it's not bad. And if I remember correctly, the minimum is 1 pound or dollar. As for the 48 hour thing, I think it was immediate both times I've done it so far. In other words, as soon as I had wagered 625, another 25 appeared.

I'm wondering HOW is that enforced there? How do they know what you are doing on your computer inside your home? Sure, they can monitor you IF you ALREADY have raised their awareness but how can they monitor several million people- all at once- at all times?

In the past, on all various forums, posters have said that it is impossible to monitor what people view on the Internet in the privacy of their own home UNLESS you are already targeted. Certainly impossible to monitor in real time for millions of people but if you are singled-out, they can monitor at the ISP level. What has changed now? New technology/software that can scan website content for certain buzzwords fast enough to block casino websites? On another forum, some guy said possible ISP testing of casino websites is going on because he couldn't access any gambling-related websites but yet no problem otherwise. He had to use another ISP to be able to post there. It appears that if blocking gambling websites was difficult in the past, it is not the case anymore. YET AGAIN, it might just be disinformation to scare people away from online gambling.

First of all, I live in a college dorm so I never know when the broadband network is being monitored. Some people have got in trouble regarding pirating before so Im pretty sure they wouldnt mind turning anyone in who is doing something illegal. I dont want to take my chances.

Thanks Leon! I have no idea why I didn't spot that in the Terms and Conditions last night. I'm usually a stickler for such things, but somehow that got by me. Very possibly it was higher when you did sign up, but until I can wrangle a way to get my $200.00 in to casino-on-net without using Neteller I will play any bonus I can find. Using the GBP makes it a $43.75 bonus with a WR of $1093.75. I should clear a few bucks for a few hours play. I just like to play anyway, and the more time spent here in front of the screen drilling Basic Strategy into my head the better for the live tables.
 
Gregory,

I have a question for you. I was reading that link you gave. The first casino on the list recommends to "cash out once you reached the $1600 WR."

Does the software tell you how much you've wagered, or do we have to manually keep track?

Being in a college dorm places you under serious scrutiny by the ISP provider, so you are doing the best thing possible. It is unfortunate that Washington state has made internet gaming illegal. I'm not certain who actually determines the age requirements for gambling since I live in a state that has Native American casinos. I had (obviously incorrectly) assumed that the legal age was 21 since that is how it is here. But thinking back it used to be 18 before they changed it a few years ago. Maybe you are actually better off where you are since you are allowed to gamble at land casinos, which you wouldn't be allowed to do here.

TimeKeeper, the majority of the online casinos have some type of graph to indicate where you are in relation to hitting the WR. HOWEVER ... that particular WR sounds like either Starluck or Planetluck, and I never noticed any sort of indicator for where you are in total wagers in either of those casinos.
I make a note of my wagers and keep a running tally and I recommend you do the same at least until you have a few completed bonuses under your belt. You'll have a good feel for things by then and you might be able to dispense with the record keeping.
I still keep records of every single hand and the result of the hand, but I do that mostly for the logs that I have been posting in this thread.
 
When I first started, I kept a log of every hand played. Now I use a clicker I bought at Staples just to keep track of money wagered.

Thinking back the only reason that I lamed up my Planetluck bonus was my own fault. I walked away from Starluck with $260.00 and called it good. I actually hit the WR for Planetluck with $178.00 or so, but got stupid and gave them the $78.00 back. That was my own fault. I should have cleared an extra $70.00.
 
I've just finished my 3 monthly bonuses for March.

Intercasino - $100 bonus, $70 profit
Eurobet - $25 bonus, $50 profit
Littlewoods - $88 bonus, $123 profit (coverted from GBP)

It was a pretty good month all around.
 
not catching a single card at planet luck. the dealer never busts. down to my original $100 from the $200. anyone know if you can cash out your original deposit there without meeting the WR?
 
no I dont think you can. I lost $70 of my own money on Starluck. And just cleared a $50 profit on planetluck. I think you have to meet the WR before any cash outs can be made. How far along are you on the WR?
