Just thought everyone would like to know how it ended. Also, if anybody wants CON whored, No - conflict of interest and there are already 2 of us - sorry.
Anyway, all of you people at college; use your dorm address / home address, which ever one you didn't already use, and whore it again! |
It's allright boondock. I understand.  |
Cool thanks for understanding. Though business has been nihl on that for awhile so I guess it doesnt really matter anyway. i think the best bet now is finding friends at ur college to do it. Thats what im gonna do before I graduate. |

Ok, so I decided to give CON a shot, and I got a somewhat pleasant surprise early on. My Bonus was slow to be credited so I talked to live support and the CS service woman manually credited my account with the Bonus. Thing is, the Bonus was credited automatically five minutes later. So I got credited with $400 in Bonus money.
What do I do? Do I get to keep the money? Do I have to wager 4000 instead of 2000? Should I tell somebody about the mistake? Am I the luckiest bastard around?
Help anybody? |

Wager 2000, remove your deposit and actual Bonus, wager another 2000 in a couple weeks and leave it there for a while. You'll get more offers from these folks, so don't burn your bridges. |

Then why wager 4000 when 2000 will do?
I'm only asking to point out that if a computer or a human checks for wager requirements and clearance, then the error might show up on withdrawl.
If he withdraws legit (1 Bonus) and it clears (10 days for 888?), he can mess with the 2nd Bonus money. If he withdraws legit and then the 2nd Bonus error is caught by 888, he may save himself a headache by having left it intact.
If he risks money that is not his by wagering $4000, and his subsequent withdrawl triggers an adjustment, he may risk his first Bonus earnings. If they wind up catching the error, the extra $2000 in wagers is unnecessary risk to his first (legit) Bonus.
One more thing. They may examine the withdrawl and think there is only one Bonus. If they don't adjust after the first w/d, the second Bonus might be already clear, with no wagering. My experience at Pacific Poker (also 888) is that they are sloppy tracking Bonus clearance.
But my larger point is, why risk future bonuses with hurried unscrupulous behavior? |

Unfortunately they caught their mistake after about an hour of my playing.
I did not enjoy doing this promotion or whatever at all. Blackjack is not fun at all. You are just at the mercy of the cards, zero skill. I played by the chart to the tee. After wagering 1700 I was up five bucks and things were okay, but the last 300 bucks wagered were absolutely horrible. I lost 100 bucks on 300 wagered. How horrible is that? It was like every dealer up card was paint or an ace. And all my cards were 13, 14, 15. It was absolutely horrible. I ended up cashing out 310, so I'm up 110 bucks, but it's just disappointing the cards didn't fall because I could have made a lot more like you people.
And I don't see why anyone would ever play a game like BJ for fun. What a joke. Unless you count cards or something, you are just throwing your money away.
Not having any control of things is really unnerving for me. At a poker table at least I control what hands I play, what plays I make, and I can make sure I mostly have the best of it. This shit's different. You're totally at the mercy of the cards. And in my last half hour of play the cards bitch slapped me in the face over and over again. If I had had cards as good as the dealer's I would have made 200 bucks in the last half hour instead of losing 100. Very disappointing the luck wasn't there. Could have been quite lucrative.
I'll take the 110 bucks though. I didn't have that money this morning. |

Golden Palace has a 300% Bonus offer. Looks like the same kind of deal. You deposit $100 and you have $400 to work with. Need to wager $1600 to cash out.
How does that stack up w/ the CasinoOnNet?
And yes evman, as a former live blackjack player, I'd say the game is nowhere the same online - no way to guage the deck at all. How do you know when to up your bet? |

Hey Guys! Eurobet Casino has $25 Bonus money per month, 10x to clear, withdrawable, $1 minimum deposit, can be cleared with BJ. The deposit code word changes every month and is different for every nation (USA word for May is SHOE.)
I was moving money out of Eurobet Poker and thought I'd try out their casino Bonus. Nice interface (needs a decent computer, not my other Win98 machine.) Favorable rules. I looked for the promised $25 Bonus, but there was $100 in bonuses waiting for me, and I don't know why, but WOOOHOOO! Cleared it plus $15, easy money.
I don't know how if Blackjack affects Rakeback, but bonuses are always better than Rakeback.
Have fun! |

Alright, I'm totally ready to do this, but I'm still nervous for some reason. I'll hook somebody up w/ a code or whatever, but I want to do it myself.
Can some1 answer these questions please? Deposit $200 -> get instant 200 Bonus right?
Then, if I want, I can immediately withdraw my own $ and play with the Bonus $ - right?
I have to make $2000 in wagers b4 any Bonus $ can be withdrawn?
And it can take as long as 10 days to get the $ ? Is that just for the Bonus or for the original $ too?
In other words, if I want to withdraw my initial 200 immediately, I'll have to wait 10 days to get that back also? I hope not, cause that's a long time to wait to get my own $ back. Don't mind waiting on the Bonus, but with my br, I don't want to have the original 200 tied up that long.
Oh, and you say there's 4 decks. Does that mean you can guage the cards as if they were coming out of a real shoe? Or do you think it's totally random?
thanks |

Original too but I have never had it take that long. Its 5-6 business days and went through on 5 business days for me always. If u do it on monday u should be fine for friday.

I think its totally random but for over a sample this small I wouldnt screw with counting cards or anything like that because it would take u more time thinking about the crap then the few extra dollars u would make.

My two cents? If $200 is so important to your daily play, you could really use this free money, and you can then go focus on RVP or Pacific, or somewhere else that let's you play with free money. Just an idea. |

CON does have to be the best thing going. They sent me an email that I participated in a "Simple Winning" Event and gave me $30. Ran that up to $40 and w/drew 30 out. Plus, you accumulate points based on yr total wager that you can convert into cash at any time.
Those of you with more CON experience - do you find they send you more offers if you keep cashing out, or if you leave a small balance?
Oh, and the Neteller charge was just for loading Neteller. Wasn't too savvy with it - now I'll keep it loaded. |

Your bet size does not affect EV, just variance. Betting 20 versus has hands of 2 just increases variance. I usually bet more when whoring just to speed it up. |

| Most of the Prima sites have a T&C that limits you to only one Bonus from any Prima account. Remember that you use the same account and name for all of the Prima sites. Look close at the T&C. I know that Cap'n Cooks in fact DOES limit you and I think that Piggs Peak DOES NOT, etc. You have to read the T&C for each site carefully. |

CON is screwing me. Well, not exactly screwing me, but I thought I'd share this since it will definitely help anyone seeking Bonus $ there.
In small print, they stipulate that anyone using Neteller has to wager not 10x the Bonus money, but 50x!! What the hell is that? So, I thought I was golden after wagering 2000 +, but no cigar. This morning, I received my original $ to the Neteller acct, and the Bonus monies were reversed to the casino account. I like how they tell me 5 days aftterward, and then don't credit my casino account for another 2-3 days.
This is part of the email sent:
>Having reviewed your Game History I can see that since the

Yep, its official. My protest was futile:
Unfortunately, after a double check, I must confirm that Operations
Department is right in their calculations of the wagering requirements.
They are extremely attentive and careful in these checks before
releasing any email to the Member.
Your miscalculation may be due to the fact the NETeller deposits need to
be wagered 50 (fifty) times unlike others that only need to be wagered
20 (twenty) times. This has been decided following intercompany
agreements.
Sorry if this disappoints you.
If you require further assistance in this or any other matter, please
feel free to contact us at anytime. |

| Guys seriously you need to start using your checking account now. If they are enforcing this even at my speed this will take like 5+ hours to clear at 5 bucks a hand a frankly I think variance will most people before its clear. Unless you absolutely have no way to use a deposit method other than neteller - use something else. Considering it will make u probably 200 more than u would using neteller its worth it. |

Ya, I got to find a way to use that water on the beans line.
But Boon is right - the house edge will catch up with you over the # of hands it takes to clear using Neteller, costing some serious cake.
I'm halfway through now (at about 5,500) and am taking serious swings. Been up to 550 and down to 275. Just about at the starting point now. That's good, I guess. I'd just love to make them pay for this.  |

It's an old saying. Means it changes everything. The post above this one explains why. |

For future reference fellas - if you get way above ur 200 Bonus - like id say 100 or more - cash out the amount above 200 - wait for it to clear - then start hackin away at it again. Like the dude above could have taken 350 out when he was at 550 because u only can't take out the Bonus. So make sure you just cashout whatever above the Bonus is and it should clear fine. |

I guess I should've said that I know what you meant on a literal level. I just never heard that analogy and it doesn't make any sense to me. But, I like it and I will use it just to see the confused look on people's faces when I do! |

Hey; don't count opportunity cost as a lost opportunity.
You were playing with THEIR money.
The real score is
Casino - 0
Metaxy6 - 0
It's a tie. All good. And you had at least a LITTLE fun doing it, right? |

Bet365 has a decent casino Bonus. 100% up to $200, given right away, 10xWR Bonus+deposit (20x), clearable w/BJ. So far I'm losing money, but hey, that's variance, right? I'm way up on CON and Eurobet, so it's allllll gooood. For BJ they offer a surrender version that more closely matches the WizardOfOdds.com instructions.
Extra info --
They have a Prima poker room and a sports book too. They are mostly about sports betting.
If you are a sports betting type, put your initial deposit into Sportsbook first for a 10% 3.5XWR Bonus (beats a stick in the eye.) Then move the same funds into the casino for the casino Bonus. Email support for the 10% Bonus. Cashier interface is like the Eurobet interface.
Their poker room has a 100% $50 250 raked hands Bonus, raked at $5 pot. If this is worth your time, move the same funds into poker for that Bonus. There is no referral Bonus and FTR doesn't offer this room for signups, so you're on your own (or go over to BW and use their link.)EDIT - FTR does have a link for Bet365 -- use it and help pay for your information. -- e |

I've already done both Planet Luck, Star Luck and CON with following results.
PL - 100 + 100 - finished with 163 (2$ bets)
SL - 100+100 finished with 61 ! (2$ bets)
CON - 200+200 finished with 316 (3$ bets)
Profit = +63 -39 +116 = +140
I've played the basic strategy like a robot, no feeling, no tilt, nothing, so house edge should be just slightly above 0.3%.
Should have finished with aprox.:
PL - 195
SL - 195
CON - 394
Variance is always expected in these cases, but surprisingly (or maybe not) it was always against myself and quite strong. It's hard to believe that these folks don't have the "machines" biased in their favour...
Anyway it's free money and that's positive.
Any suggestions for the next one ? |

Just hit the PlanetLuck and Starluck for a combined $170 profit.
Pretty nice way to make up for the CON debacle - after clearing the wr, I kept going cause I was pissed about the Neteller wrinke. Ended up costing me Neteller fees.
So, a good rebound. And the payouts were lightning fast.
Played the Las Vegas Strip game - it's supposed to be the best odds, and the dealer doesn't hit on soft 17. Only negative is can't double after split, which makes some marginal splits not worth doing (eg, 77 vs dealer's 2 or 3).
The odds are also supposed to be a lot better using flash version, as opposed to download - for just this one platform (igaming).
Used the Flash on Starluck and it did feel softer. It timed out more, but if the odds are really 2x as good with flash, a few time outs is worth it.
Here's link to the download/flash claim. This guy seems to know what he's talking about in general, even if his free chip offers are kind of lame:

Next up: Player's Vegas and 50 Stars. Anyone with experience on those? |

I got over $130 at Starluck and just $30 at PlanetLuck.
How to get a little extra Bonus from Starluck/PlanetLuck- OVER $40.
Starting at Starluck, signup for their GlobalMedia Player's Club. Seek out the pink survey box and complete that current survey and all prior surveys (after the 1st survey there is a link to examine past surveys -- do them.)
Do the same at PlanetLuck By doing both sets the surveys, you get over 2000 club points, over four thousand points total.
THEN link your Playerclub accounts together and cash out all 4000 points to Starluck for $40 extra -- and no WR.  Link AFTER doing all the surveys.
Be patient here. It takes about a day to get the club, and a day to cash out once you complete the WR's. You should count your own wagering because the club lags severly. Edit: Being patient also allows your BJ earned points to hit your club account, worth another 2 or 3 bucks. Also, don't forget to IGMPAY Starluck and PlanetLuck 
*Party Bingo (the 3rd room) is a money pit. Party Bingo has no surveys. |
