Default Re: Is casino bonus whoring easier than poker bonus whoring?

[ QUOTE ]
You are too late thats all. 2 years ago you could clear pokerbonusses fast and easy on low / microstakes. But the same happens with Casinos, many have now a WR from 30, 40,50,60 and BJ is not allowed.

I whored and played poker for 4 years, but lost nearly any interest. The best times are over !!!!

This is incorrect and is a knee jerk reply based on the wide spread US player restrictions amongst on-line casinos. You must bear in mind that the OP has clearly stated that he is a non-US resident.

I personally now average $8,500 per month from casino bonus bagging and I must admit that it took me a little while (around 5 months) to work up to that level once I decided to take it seriously. I work approx 7 hours a day, from a bankroll of £6k ($12k) and I am not an aggressive multi-accounter. I only play for myself and my other-half and I only play for my other-half at casinos that are what we call 'partner friendly'.

Also note that the monthly return that I have stated above wholly excludes extra profits made from sports book bonus scalping (which thankfully is still a lucrative area of on-line bonus bagging) and also excludes poker room bonuses.

Truth be told, there are in fact a lot of great casino bonus offers out there. However, the main difference between now and two years ago is that now, very few of the great offers hang around for very long (the t&c's for the bonus change in a matter of days/weeks rather than months). Or the game of wagering choice is more difficult to learn (blackjack excluded bonuses).

For example, last month I cleared a cashable £500 ($1000) bonus with a mere £5,000 wagering requirement (10 times bonus). Plus baccarat, roulette, craps and blackjack were all allowed games to clear the wagering with. That offer has now very recently been pulled, but the simple fact that offers like that are still out there to be had, lets you know just how lucrative casino bonus hunting can still be to someone who is looking to profit from it.

To the OP, I suggest you start out with the really small deposit bonuses. Offers that require less than $100 deposit cash and let you play blackjack (low variance). Simply ease yourself into the casino bonus bagging game. A small, but solidly good, bonus to start out with is Littlewoods sign up £50 ($100) casino bonus offer.

Also, do some research... google to try and find out about other forums that are dedicated to casino bonus bagging (twoplustwo is a great place to start, but the focus here tends to be upon poker bonuses, rather than casino ones) and finally learn how to play casino games other than blackjack.

I must also stress, that I can only speak from my experience as a non-US bonus bagger.
