Go to Boogster and sign-up for AusVegas and Lasseters. Complete Boogster's WR. Here's the thing: you don't have to complete AusVegas's (I actually didn't ask Lasseters, but I assume the same) WR for the bonus since they're closing to the U.S. tomorrow. They will honor the full bonus when you withdraw as long as you "make an attempt" at clearing it.
Have fun...
Oh and did I mention Boogster gives you $100 each?

What games did you use for cover play? Can you describe exactly what you did? What you played and how much?
For AusVegas, it looks like Boogster requires $500 of action. Can one just play $500 worth of BJ to get Boogster money? I assume this is key to this deal. This leaves $60 uncleared bonus that has to be wagered at 10x on casino games or 50x on BJ. How much BJ cover play did you do to get the $60 bonus?
Same for Lasseters, except that the bonus is 100% upto $100. Did you play $500 worth of BJ to meet Boogster requirements? And then what?
US customers don't even bother with these. It takes up to 24 hours to get the bonuses credited and we don't have that kind of time.

Yes, JuntMonkey, please clarify and expand on how you did it and when you did it?
The casions offer $60 and $100 bonuses which aren't that easy to clear. We are relying on their good nature to let us slide on the clearling requirements.
But Boogster offers $100 and $100 bonuses for these sites and it looks like you only have to bet $500 worth. That's 5x in BJ if it works. Easy.

I'm playing Blackjack. Yes, on AusVegas I bet a total of $500 for Boogster. Then I continued until tonight when I found out that they will honor the bonus without finishing the WR for U.S. residents. I had played around $1,000 total, you need $4,000 on blackjack for the bonus.
I have not done Lasseters yet but I am assuming everything is the same plus a bit more because of the larger bonus.
Just play enough to make it look good. Maybe $1,000 or a little more on each. Later tonight (they said within 12 hours of when they are closing, which I assume is tomorrow morning), chat with help and see if they'll let you withdraw. Be nice about it...

They credited mine in Lasseters just now within about 1.5 hours. You have to e-mail them as per the instructions.
Yes we're relying on their good nature. I'm a little worried that they'll get annoyed if we all whore it and either not pay Boogster or not honor the bonus, but I couldn't help but share it here...
So these bonuses are sticky right?
I worked my $160 to $320 and am happy with my earnings, but it won't let me cash out because I haven't met the WR. When they're closing my account tomorrow, if they find that I didn't make a satisfactory attempt to clear the WR, will they remove my winnings?

Lasseters and Aus Vegas are actually cashable IF you complete the Wager Requirements.

Also FYI, I haven't heard any news that these will be going away after Friday. They have ensured affiliates business as usual for now (unless Junt knows something I don't) which means US play is accepted.

This is from the Boogster page:
"The bonus is not cashable, meaning, you can wager with the bonus money, but you will have to return the money after you cash out."
So is he wrong or what?
Also halo7, this is also from the boogster page:
US residents must complete the requirements by 10am on Friday, October 13, 2006!

Okay, there were a lot of questions here...
I'm using this chart:
http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bjbse.php?n...=ns&peek=no (http://www.blackjackinfo.com/bjbse.php?numdecks=8+decks&soft17=s17&dbl=all&das= yes&surr=ns&peek=no)
The key difference from the strategy we're accustomed to is I believe the dealer "peek" rule. If dealer shows a 10, he does not automatically check and flip if he has a blackjack - you have to play the hand out. Because of this risk, it is no longer correct to double down on 11 when there is a 10 showing.
Yes, I believe the Boogster page is mis-worded as to the bonus cash-out. I discussed it with live chat and they said it was withdrawable. And yes, live chat as well as Boogster said that they are closing to us tomorrow morning.
I think that if you've wagered above the Boogster requirements of $500 you'll be okay. I don't know if they're going to arbitrarily enforce whether you "had a go" at the bonus or not, but I doubt it. Wager $1,000 on each tonight and I would imagine you'll be fine.
To find out for sure though, just go into live chat and ask if you can withdraw - don't wait until tomorrow after they close. Play a little dumb with them. I am about to go try to withdraw now so I'll see what happens.
It doesn't let you access with withdraw screen until you clear the WR. The woman in live chat confirmed to me that they weren't going to enforce the WR when they close accounts tomorrow though and that I wouldn't have a problem receiving my winnings. Who knows if she's right or not, but I wouldn't be too pissed if they took away my bonus anyway, just as long as they don't touch my winnings.

From Live Chat, when asked if I could withdraw after playing slightly over $1,000:
I can only assume yes, Finance has said they'll allow the withdrawals without considering turnover requirement hardlines
And regarding withdrawals:
no, it won't automatically go to neteller as far as I'm aware. You will be able to sign into your account after the shutdown when it occurs. The automatic cheque withdrawals for US players remaining funds will happen next week sometime, so it will give players a few days to go into their account and request a specific withdrawal type, otherwise it will automatically go out in cheque form later that week

When I played at Lasseters which was a few weeks ago their first time withdrawal is always a check. Maybe they've changed it..dunno.
Re: KSOT I asked CS of Lasseters when I played there if it was Sticky or Cashable, and CS said its cashable as long as I completed my wager requirements.
Of course I did Lasseters thru gamesgifts and did not accept a bonus so I could easily complete my W.R. get paid from Gamesgifts and still cash out without completeing a large W.R.

hmm it was sticky when I did both, but if you are able to cash it out more power to you.

I had a bad run in BJ and lost some so hopefully they will cashout my entire account balance.

AusVegas' T&C: "The first deposit Sign Up Bonus is for wagering purposes only. No withdrawal will be honoured for an amount less than the bonus amount and the amount of the first deposit sign up bonus will be deducted from a player's first withdrawal, regardless of when the first withdrawal occurs."
Lasseters' T&C: "Sign Up Bonuses are for wagering purposes only. No withdrawal will be honoured for an amount less than the most recently received bonus amount and the amount of the most recently received bonus will be deducted from a player's withdrawal, regardless of when the withdrawal occurs."
These look like stickies to me.
Dave Coulier
10-13-2006, 04:54 AM
Sigh. They are not stickies regardless of what the T&C says. Many people have been able to cash out their entire balance when they have completed the W.R.
Feel free to ask a customer service rep and they will tell you the same thing. Granted it took about 15 minutes to get that info out of the rep.

EV is like $150-$190 each including Boogster, so it's definitely worthwhile if you can squeeze it in.
The only thing I regret about making this thread is calling them "huge +EV". What I should have said was "decent easy bonuses", not "huge".
Also I'll regret it when they refuse to pay Boogster or any of us out because of the abuse.

I flat betted $1/hand for first 100 and $2/hand for the next 400 on both of them. I'm up $9 and $16. lol It amounts to $540-600 in play. Not much coverage play at all, but I have no time...
If we can cash out these bonuses and Boogster GCs come through, it will be very nice boost to my newbie roll.

Yikes, $1 a hand?! I hope you at least played 5 hands at once. That software is so slow.
So what ended up happening with you guys and the unfinished bonuses?
They told me a check was in the mail. I assume it was for the full amount but I'm not sure.

They told me they were prorating it. I only argued a little bit since obviously that's fair. I need to send ID and then it should go to Neteller.
I did get the Boogster credit.

Has anyone received their cashout from either of these places yet? I haven't.
I haven't either. Maybe I'll give them a call.

I received one check that for the casino that verified my ID before the accounts got locked. The other one has not come yet. It has been about two weeks, they state it will take 2-4 weeks to receive the money so I would not sweat it....yet.

You get bonus even if you did not finish WR?
Dave Coulier
11-09-2006, 09:43 PM
I didn't have a bonus there. I had just done the site thru gamesgifts sans bonus. Maybe someone else in here will be able to tell you if they still got their bonus.

Got both checks today. Ausvegas gave me my uncleared bonus but Lasseters didn't. I probably won't bother complaining since I doubt it will work, unless other people were given their uncleared bonus by Lasseters.

11-28-2006, 07:24 PM
I cleared the bonus at Aus and they will not give it to me. Pretty much screwed since their t&c state it is a sticky even though they never treated it that way before. I did get full bonus at Las, which was fully cleared as well.
Do any sites still offer kickback for Aus?

Look in the kickback thread (link (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=7044612&page=0&fpart=1&v c=1&nt=2)), there are some AusVegas offers there.
