(...or "Casino whoring adventure" for the non-Snoopy crowd.)
Today I decided to start casino whoring. Initially I wanted to begin with the *luck casinos, but I experienced some difficulties when installing the software (I think my Pc needs reformatting). So I decided to head over to casinobonuspages and check out their top10.
The choice for the first bonus fell on Bet365. I deposited 200$, and after clearing the first bonus I decided to take the 200$ out of the bankroll again so that my casino bankroll will consist of winnings only.
Tomorrow I have my last exam this year, after that I will commence full-time poker and casino bonus whoring.
BR after clearing Bet365: 330$. Time spent: approx 6 hrs including research time.

Did SIA Casino this morning. Luckily this casino adventure has started out with a hot streak of cards. Now off to study for that exam, which actually is tomorrow, not today.
Bet365: 200$ + 130 winnings; 6 hours
SIA Casino: 130$ + 89,50 winnings; 3 hours
Total: 330$ + 219,50$ = 549,50$; 9 hours

Thanks, allthough with these bonuses I guess very little luck is needed. That said, my cards are still running good.
Did Golden Palace today, started out betting 3$ but went with 5$ after a while. Also I started doing two tables at once to fight the slight dealer lag. I think I'm going to do one of their reloads (50% up to 250$, 20xD+B) right away before moving on to a new casino.
I can really get used to this 
Bet365: 200$ + 130 winnings; 6 hours
SIA Casino: 130$ + 89,50 winnings; 3 hours
Golden Palace: 300$ + 98 winnings; 4 hours 15 minutes
Total: 630$ + 317,50$ = 947,50$; 13 hours 15 minutes

Did the Golden Palace 50% up to 250$ reload today. 20x(500+250) = 15000$ WR, so it was a lot of work for the 250$. Completed it in the same time as yesterday's 8000$ WR, though, so I guess I'm getting faster.
Today was very swingy. At my worst I was down about 100$ into my deposit. The last hour I had a shit hot run of cards, and ended up +300$.
Bet365: 200$ + 130 winnings; 6 hours
SIA Casino: 130$ + 89,50 winnings; 3 hours
Golden Palace: 300$ + 98 winnings; 4 hours 15 minutes
Golden Palace (reload):250$ + 315 winnings; 4 hours 15 minutes
Total: 880$ + 632,50$ = 1512,50$; 17 hours 30 minutes

It's been a while, other stuff to do plus good weather equals less time for casino whoring. Did playvegasfromhome.com 100%/200$ bonus (actually I only had 192$ in Neteller but meh), but ended up with a net loss of 19,50$. Did Twin Aces 125%/125$ for a net profit of $38. It seems variance is catching up, but that was expected.
I think I'm gonna do some Cryptos next. Also, I think I'm gonna drop my bets to 2$ and play 3-handed. Who cares if it takes a little longer if you have wifi and a sunny garden? 
Bet365: 330$; 6 hours
SIA Casino: 219,50$; 3 hours
Golden Palace: 398$; 4 hours 15 minutes
Golden Palace (reload):565$; 4 hours 15 minutes
Play Vegas From Home:- 19,50$; 2 hours
Twin Aces: 38$; 3 hours 55 minutes
Total:1531$; 22 hours 25 minutes

Ok, it's now been around three weeks since my last update here. I guess I just decided not to bother updating it, it's not like there's very much information anyway. So I think this will be the last update of the thread.
I've now done 16 bonuses on 12 different casinos, and I've been very fortunate so far and have only busted on a couple. I'm up around 1800$ on top of the bonuses, for a total profit of 4188$ including some conversion fees. This gives me an hourly rate of 98.25$, not bad for a job that can be done while watching TV .
Obviously the variance is going to go the other way at some point. I'm just glad that I hit positive variance in this first month of casino whoring, so that I now have a bankroll that can sustain a few busto's.

Sure thing, these are the ones I have done so far (note that I haven't hit up any new casinos this month, that's laziness for ya ):
Bet365
Sports Interaction Casino
Golden Palace
PlayVegasFromHome.com (bonus no good anymore)
Inter Casino
Casino Euro
Cherry Casino
Twin Aces
Betsson
Planetluck
Starluck
21.com
I had some minor problems cashing out from 21.com, they changed the terms for depositing with neteller without updating the web site. Nothing a few emails couldn't fix. Other than that it's been very smooth.
GL.

Got a mail from CON saying that I needed to wager $36k more (!). Rechecked the T&Cs and sure enough the WR are 200*B if you deposit with moneybookers. And here I was trying to avoid the 50*B that you get when depositing with neteller.
I'm with stupid
<--------------------
Anyways I decided to bet big to try and either bust fast or run up a big score, and ended up cashing out $2885 on a 200$ deposit. Yay me.

Yeah, I can't complain. Just want to add to the sunshine story that I have busted at a number of casinos because I usually bet big. Big bets = more EV, higher hourly rate, but much bigger variance.

I started out betting small as well, to reduce variance while building a casino bankroll. Now that I have the bankroll to withstand busting at a bunch of casinos in a row I prefer to bet bigger, as I said it increases EV but increases variance MUCH more. So definitely bet small at the first casinos.
