Mistakes I've made casino whoring:

[Ken_AA]

1) Deposited through Neteller for Casinoonnet. It worked out as I ran good, but I wouldn't do that again.

2) Didn' read the TandC for Total bet and after losing 100 bucks realized I wasn't gonna get a bonus for blackjack. Opps.

3) Didn't figure out the WR for the Main Street Group casino I did (its not really 40xB since that doesn't count the 1K you have to bet to get the bonus). Again it worked out ok as I cashed out a big profit, yet I should have knows whats up going in.

If you're starting don't make these mistakes, anyone else with advice?

I already posted a few of these in another thread.

Read and UNDERSTAND the T&C's before you deposit (bonus amount, wager requirements, restricted games, etc). Some restricted games do not count towards WR, and some games outright are banned before you meet the WR. If you want to play a potentially restricted game, make sure you know how this impacts your bonus and winnings.

Take a screenshot of the T&C's when you begin playing (2 seconds before you deposit, not the day before, not the day after).

Have a clear scan of your ID ready before you start casino whoring. Also, dont complain about it because most sites require it and they arent going to let you off the hook.

Get every bonus deal in writing. Dont accept a bonus from live chat without a confirmation via email.

Dont start playing until you have received your bonuses.

Dont play at shady/rogued casinos (casinomeister has a list of them). I dont care too much personally about the advertising ones (Golden Palace, 888), but care a lot about the cheaters and non-payers.

Dont tilt on slots at Totalbet trying to win the $3 million+ Millionaire Club jackpot because you're "sure its gonna hit on the next pull!" and blow the $800 you had built up in there from careful poker and casino whoring.

So far I have really only made one mistake on that list. Anyone care to guess which one?

1. If you are getting a frozen wave of cards and when everything seems to be at its worst....stop. Logoff.
You can always take a break for a few minutes or hours. This is better than losing mental stability and blowing your deposit.

2. Read the terms and conditions closely. Most T&C are well known but read them anyway to aviod surprises.

3. If you are a beginner bet small amounts. Some casino whoring rookies hitting a 35 bet or more downswing will self destruct when they lose an uncomfortable amount very quickly. As a beginner you must bet in a comfortable range and you must learn to enjoy the process. Bet low amounts rookies.

1) Hit 20 and have made several 30's.
2) Didn't double on a soft 20 in Pontoon once.
3) Tilted away a 800GBP balance at Slots.com.

I'm sure there are tons more.

Also, even though Casinobonuspages and CasinoDave have great sites with tons of information, dont rely solely on their bonus/WR/resticted game info as it can be outdated. You need to read the sites' T&Cs for the most current info.

[2+2 wannabe]

- don't try and play your 975 balance to 1000 after you're done your bonus just cause it looks nicer
- don't assume live chat screenshots are worth anything
- pontoon = blackjack
- don't go on massive blackjack tilt by losing 3500 on one site and then cancelling your pending withdrawals at CON, VegasCasinoOnline, and Omni totalling 4000 to try and get it back
- don't invite your friend over to get drunk and spend your last grand online cause it doesn't matter anymore since 1000 pretty much equals BUSTO
- don't play when you get that [censored] feeling in your stomach

[Uglyowl]

If you go down $25 early, don't try to bet it just to break even, it goes downhill fast !

it can't be repeated enough, read the T&C's!! they are constantly changing. big thing to watch out for is a sudden banning of BJ play.

also email the admins of these sites if they are out of date. I emailed dave about one and he literally fixed his site in two mins from the time I sent my email.


I was doing one of those sites that have four initial sticky $100 bonuses -- if you bust the first, you get a second, bust that one you get a third, bust that you get a fourth.

I blew through four deposits and four bonuses on that site in about 30 mins... went to a sister site that had the same deal and blew through three deposits and three bonuses in like 10 mins (this is all betting .5 balance/hand BJ) before finally SLAMMING on the eighth and final deposit. moral of the story is only do the stickies if you got the roll and can handle the swings. fortunately BJ tilt doesn't affect my play like poker.

Mistakes I've made casino whoring:

For some reason I went on tilt playing 50 hand jacks or better. Instead of quitting, like ususally, I decided to gamble. $744 later, I realized my mistake.

I agree with every word of this. I swear to god that I try my hardest to stay current. The sites NEVER EVER contact me when they make a change. So I have to go search manually all the time. Luckily enough for me there are many people that give me heads up on terms changes, and once I hear about it, I change it. I hope you all can understand.

Uh, just maybe ....

That roulette table you see isn't real and doesn't physically exist. It is simply a coded computer program running on a server in some datacenter that is simulating it all. So thats what you are putting your trust in.

A telling indictment of all internet gaming.

Some philosophers would contend that the roulette wheels at The Mirage and Bellagio don't exist.

what's the odds of the same number hitting twice in a row on roulette? i saw it happen twice in ten minutes the other day.

I was doing cover play once with roulette and I played 7 spins total betting on a single number and got the following results:

lose,lose,lose,win,win,win,lose.

I was in absoulte shock, thought it was rigged in my favor for sure. Hit three 1/37 shots in a row.

[Smelly]

The chances of that happening are 50654 to 1 by my count. I could be off by 1 though. I did (1/37)^3 but I always forget whether or not I need to add 1 to it. I did.

But I am betting they wouldn't step in front of it to test their theory.

subtract 1, not add 1. 50652 to 1.

[Smelly]

ah right, thanks.

[SoloAJ]

My mistakes have been simple misclicks mostly. Such as not hitting a soft 20 in pontoon. Unfortunately those really suck becuase they can turn into 4 unit errors. ANd I've done it 2 or 3 times.

That is about the extent of mistakes I've made....other than maybe I should be more patient at some sites and instead of betting $5/hand bet $2/hand.

[mikezee]

Never end up with a score of 30 in a blackjack hand.

(insert sheepish look here - thats what can happen after several hours of mindless blackjack...)

[brendanb438]

Donkey tilting with $40 bets on Cherry Casino because I lost with 20 3 times in a row to a 5 or 6 up. Went broke in 9 straight hands. I managed to do the same thing on SIA I lost or pushed like 7 hands in a row that I had a 20 or 21 so I proceeded to keep doubling my bets until I won a hand. Well I didn't win a hand. Thankfully these are somehow the only 2 of 21 casino bonuses that I have busted, luck has been on my side.

Golden Rule:

If you get pissed off on a deal and want to make big bets,
or martingale in order to get your money back, and have
finished the wagering requirements, then do the following:

Instead of betting at that casino, make another deposit
on another deal, and do your big betting or martingaling
when your fulfilling wagering requirements on some
other deal.

Dont play 50 a hand solitaire
