When I close the party window, got ad for Starluck casino for free 100$. Moved 250$ using IGMPAY method and got 100$ for startup bonus and another 50$ for igmpay.

but here is the BIG PROBLEM. They dont have hold em poker. Only type o f poker they have is 3 card, caribbean sun and let it ride. and video poker and blackjack.

I dont know if i can withdraw my original money without playing any hands. it sucks. I only know how to play texas hold em.

What to do ? any advice is mucho appreciated.

What you did was join their CASINO division. My advice? You won't be able to get your money out of there until you clear that bonus. Play blackjack according to an odds chart; who knows? You might keep your bonus or you might even get more! Then, withdraw into neteller, and then go and play poker, like you wanted to. Welcome to the wonderful world of casino whoring.

There are two other threads -- whoring tips and a starluck thread that was just started.

This is easy money with moderate risk, but the math is super. I don't know the wagering requirement for the two combined bonuses, but play their no-download black jack. It has the least house advantage and can be played quickly. Keep your bets as low as you can stand. Play according to the blackjack chart at wizardofodds.com. Join the players club to help you count hands, though there is a one day lag on the count, so you are better off keeping track some yourself. Answer the survey questions for an extra twenty bucks.

No, really.

actually, eee. The rules change in the Starluck Casino, and Wizardofodds doesn't have an odds chart to correctly conform to it.

Boondock was telling me that ties on 21 here LOSE, and that affects things. Not to mention, the surrender option.

Things may have changed recently, but last time I played at starluck, (about 2 weeks ago) ties were still ties even on 21. Now, your 21 verses a dealers balckjack will always lose. Also, the surrender option wasn't available. But I played the download version, it may be different.

I know also that Boondock was at onetime whoring this for FTR members for a fee. May want to check with him.

I just spent way too long staring at that avatar.

Light years ahead of the competition.

Can't you withdraw your money minus the deposit bonus at any time? It's your money, they can't really keep you from doing with it what you want. You just can't get the bonus until the required number of hands are played.
