Alright, post your biggest scores on bonuses here. Omit the casino name if you need to.

I've got 3 that are tied:

Online casino $125 reload on $500 deposit. Ending balance like $1800, so +1300, $25 hands of pontoon. 2 other times I was +1100 and +750 on these reloads. High variance though /images/graemlins/wink.gif

+1.1k on Monaco Gold, and +1.3k on 32 vegas.

And +1.6k on the twin aces reload recently. Pontoon was nice to me.


Lots of these bonuses are dead now, glory days are over /images/graemlins/frown.gif

My best was when Blackjack Ballroom had a $400 bonus for a $1000 deposit. You had to play something like $25K, but you were allowed to use autoplay. I finished at about +$700 for blackjack and then the bonus, so a nice $1.1K score.

The first online casino I ever played at was casino.net . At the time, I knew nothing about bonuses. I throught a $200 bonus on a $800 deposit sounded like a great deal. I made risky $25 bets and used an incorrect strategy table (single deck when it was actually multi-deck). I still gained ~$1300! This event inspired me to get into online casinos and bonuses.

My first large Clearplay bet was at King Neptune's. I bet 200GBP on a hand of ACBJ and doubled. I won the $750 bet, and ended with a gain of ~$1300 again after meeting the playthrough on French Roulette. This event inspired me to play all the Clearplays with a similar strategy.

Other noteworthy gains include:
~$1000 on the old Winward bonus
~$820 on the Shark bonus (should have been $1220, but they changed terms after I signed up and made the bonus a sticky)
~$800 on the old Jupiter sign up.
~$510 gain on just a $40 deposit at Sun Vegas.

Started with the big English bookmaker casinos like VC and BlueSQ this summer. They got me into casinos for good. Grinded them out very carefully and within under a week I had made 2 x GBP250.

But my most notable wins so far have been Casino Webcam (live dealers) and Nine.com. At Webcam I turned a $500 deposit into a $1500 gain. WR was humongous but ran exceptionally well on BlackJack at $30 a hand. And my biggest thus far, Nine.com casino, turned my $500 deposit into a $2200 gain, playing BJ $25 a hand. The whole WR felt like one big winning streak, I couldn't belieive it!

Most fun: Royal Flush on quarter machine at Intercasino - and it was a progressive - about $1250

Most amazing: Party's Bingo Casino - easily met the WR and cashed out + $600

Worst - finished Golden Palace WR and had about $480, but they decided I was a WHORE!

Runnerup worst - Cool Cat Casino - I hit a Royal on a nickle machine and was up about $250 with a $25 Free Chip - but they refused to let me cash out anything........... /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Casinovega...best not only because $150 into $2000, but because I felt they deserved it.

Deposited $150, didn't get a bonus because you have to playthrough to get it, and decided to withdraw after a couple hands cause software was horrible. They said I needed 9k WR to withdraw despite the fact that I received no bonus and I did not want to receive a bonus. Bet $50 hands (max bet) on BJ and wound up robusto to 2k.

hypecasino +2275, they tried and succeeded in screwing up our whoring but my frustration with their slow software and the new terms left me with some huge double ups at bj and what can i say, they had it coming to them.

My best is kinda today. Finally got rid of those bots on 10/20 and my first bot free day gives me 2K in no time. Not the most I have won, but it feels like it.

I suppose the seat to the 10K WPT at LA Commerce was actually the best. All from a $10 tourney. Helluva buzz back then.

I haven't done much casino whoring.

Made $1772 on a Will Hill monthly playing Double Bonus. Hit 7777, 4444, and AAAA, then finished it off at Pontoon.

Mansion Steelers, of course.

Poker, I made ~$5300 in a week of running off Holdempoker bonuses, running well, and winning their weekly most points prize.

My best was from Dan cash bonanza last month. I got $50, and ran it up to 4k. Cashed out 3k, because that was the maximum for 1 day. Then I decided, oh well, lets gamble with the rest aswell. Managed to run that up to $4500, wanted to cashout, but had to wait till the next morning. Unfortunately I gambled on, and lost 4k. So a total profit of $3450 =)

I owned Casino Vega to the tune of $1500 recently.

Early in my career I turned $200 on BTD into like $990. Then I proceeded to lose it all martingaling my way to $1000.

Now that I consider my casino whoring career dead, my best story would have to be how amazingly close I came to the expected value of all my bonuses combined.

The total EV of all the bonuses I have done came out to $29,968 and my actual value was $30,052 (that's less than $100 off!). My low point was around $4,000 under EV and my high point was around $3,300 over EV. I always believed that in the long term the highs and lows even out, but it's nice to actually see it on paper.

Once I cashed out 7000$ on a 2000/1800 cashable bonus on prism. Also i had a few sticky wins in the 1500 - 2000$ range.

One month at Intercasino I cashed out 355 (so +255).

I play low risk and hence never score big.

Supringsly though even playing with little risk I am pretty far below the EV of all the bonuses I have played.

i deposited $300 in an online casino and never looked back. i typically average +2k / week just by timing and riding the streaks correctly. since it is mostly about feel and timing i just never use the autoplay and it works for me.

Oh god. Thanks for making casinos so profitable so we can abuse their bonuses that attract players like you.

I, too, got to stick it to Hype. They changed their WR when I was almost done under the old WR, and I was at a balance of $590 at that point. I ended up playing what felt like a bazillion hands of BJ in order to finish, and ended up with a balance of $1509. Serves those bastards right.

haha... you are locked into such rigid thinking. you probably think anarchists are just people who circle their A's and get their hair cut by the blind.

I deposited $400 for a $200 bonus with $36k WR. After wagering $30k in pontoon I had around $1300, which I was happy to keep but I got caught in a losing streak, one thing leads in to another and I start martinggaling and at $34k wagered mark I lose it all.

Lesson learned: if you absolutely want to martingale and/or take chances with your score, do it in the beginning when starting to wager. It sucks when you have wagered for hours betting $5/$10 a hand.

I think it was the Monaco bonus where they had the Video Poker bonus. I got a royal flush. SHIP IT!!! 4k + the bonus (don't remember how much it was).

I'm confused. All I understood was that you thought you were a winning online casino games player. LOL.

Apart from the Mansion Steelers bet which I jumped all over 3 times /images/graemlins/smile.gif, I think mine is about $600 on an individual casino which was pretty recenly from Vegas Palms. I am pretty risk adverse though to be fair.

My best day though was undoubtedly when I did Casino Euro, Casino Cherry and Inter.com and .co.uk when I started and ran massively over EV on all four. I think in total I finished up something like +E450,+$400,+$300, +£150, betting on average 2 x minimum bet per hand. I wish I had some more gamble in me because that day could have been truly amazing, I literally could not lose all day. A great day that was.
