Busting Out on a Bonus

KUJustin · #1 05-26-2006, 01:56 PM

I was always under the impression that at casinos that credit your bonus instantly if you lose all your bonus money you can just cash out and forget it.

So if I put in $200, get a $200 bonus, and then lose a $200 hand of BJ I can take my money and get out of there. Is this not the case?

No, Casino's have different types of bonuses. Very few let you do that. You usually have to clear the wagering requirements to get your bonus. Other bonuses are "sticky" which means that you can only use the money to wager with.

I just chatted w/ Casino On Net support and they said I could take my money if that happened. Are they an exception?

This must be recent then... they never allowed this in the past and i've seen a few recent reports that it worked.

It's a bad idea at any casino that offers reloads, even if they allow it

Not to mention it just makes casinos offer crappier bonuses in the future. If you want to earn money without risk, don't do it gambling DUH!

I can't imagine why a casino would let you do that. Free money though yet you'll never get invited back.

KUJustin · #9 05-27-2006, 03:05 PM

Won't you pretty much never get invited back to any casino where you wager enough to clear the bonus and then withdraw? I'm new at this so I'm not sure.

(Well sort of new I did MicroGaming casinos back in the day and to this day I'll claim they were rigged for a higher HA.)

most places dont really want the business of "bonus whores"
they tend to send good reload offers only to degenerate gamblers.
