My first week of Casino Whoring

[roamer590]

Hello.

I came to this board looking for poker bonuses. After reading alot of posts on casinowhoring, I became so curious that I decided to risk $100 and check it out. I read ALOT of posts + all the big casino pages to find out where to start.

I decided on Starluck/Planetluck, but couldn't get their clients running on my computer. I get a message about a resource missing, anyone else got this?

Anyway, I chose Playvegasfromhome.com instead and started out. I did in no way shape or form stick to the recommended betting patterns, and so I hade huge variance (I was betting like $3 5-handed one round and then maybe $15 on one hand the next). Stupid mistakes but a learning experience. I made a hefty $13 profit off this one.

Then:
Bet365 - $65
WillHill - $7
Intercasino March - $34 (I deposited for poker sometime and busted. then found out i could finish clearing it w/ BJ)
Intercasino June - $159
Twin Aces - $259

Note: I've never wagered just $1 at a time, I'm too impatient for that. At the Twin Aces I was playing $3 3-handed through the whole thing. Crazy swings

I am doing Casino on Net next. And def. willhill+intercasino again next month.

Any advice for my next hit?

Thanks for all the advice on this forum guys !! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

i'm new at whoring too. unlike roamer, i do flatbet $1/hand and 1 at a time. i cleared 15 bucks out of a possible 200 bonus on bet365, cleared 40 of 100 bonus on starluck, and now i'm on to golden palace. their fat 300% bonus can't be passed up, alothough you must wager 8000 to clear. i'm grinding through the $1 bets, but i've also just started up a new job. wondering for any of the old hands at whoring, i read at golden that the bonus can only be credited to you at one of their family of casinos, but casinobonuswhores.com advocates hitting GP and then OnlineCasino, which is a sister site (i believe since they advertise the same bonus and look quite similar). anyone done both with no problem? i suppose once i've cleared and withdrawn from one, that doing the second is just gravy if i don't get caught, but can they take my funds if they notice i've done the other? that would kill both my previously cleared bonus and my buzz.

anyone know if this kind of [censored] holds up in legal terms? i mean like when you install software and there's a gigantic T&C full of jargon and official language. no one reads those, and IMO they shouldn't be expected to. you have to agree to get the software/bonus/whatever, so what good does it do you to spend hours reading the disclaimer? like signing a 40-page contract without reading it, it can be deemed to be too wordy that a reasonable person would be expected to skip over a lot of it. i think it's very arguable either side. thoughts? it would be interesting to include in the T&C for a software or something some kind of cash prize by simply emailing with a strange password, just to see who actually reads the thing. guaranteed it would be less than 0.1%. cheers to the forum, rock on guys!

Roamer, make sure you dont deposit via Neteller to CON. It jacks up the WR significantly. Use eCheck or whatever it is. Go to casinobonuspages or casinodave and find the lists to do there.

Kool, you might want to reconsider casino whoring if you take that attitude towards T&Cs. You absolutely must read and understand the T&Cs of any site you play, no matter how confusing. I guarantee that you will make a mistake somewhere along the line and think that you are getting screwed by the casinos when in fact you were not following the T&Cs. People have lost tens of thousands of dollars by not following them, and no one wants to read your bitch post because you think the casino "stole" your money because you played blackjack when you werent supposed to.

One Casinoblasters (GP, Online, GrandOnline, Aspinalls, etc) account per person now. You are a few months too late to get multiple accounts. You'll be able to open multiples, but they will close them immediately after they are open. You can try, but I'm certain that you'll get shut down, and if you do and they find out, they'll take your money.

Oh, and with online casinos, there's generally no such thing as "legal". They all have terms in the T&Cs which basically say the casinos decision is final (which you would know if you read them), so they'll screw you when they see fit and there's not much you can do about it other than running to some message board or CasinoMeister to complain.

I have started on the CON-bonus now, deposited w/ cc so no problem there. The software annoys me though, it's very slow [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I've been playing 3x$2 and I'm at 350$ , 25% through.

WLV, i know what you are saying, and i do read them to find out the relevant facts like WR and time limit and restricted games etc etc, but phrases like "sole discretion" and "what the casino deems abuse" are vague and if they want to cut you off they will whether you read that or not. i may have sounded a little rash with my word choice, but i meant things like instant message software where it's a bunch of junk that will never come up anyhow. when my hard earned dough is at stake i would be careful of course.

the thing is though, that the T&C for an online casino is easy enough that a monkey could understand it, because they want everyone including foreign-speakers and monkeys to come in and wager. but, in many many contracts and software license agreements etc, there is so much legalese that the average person wouldn't be able to understand it without hiring a professional to translate it into words they understand. contracts etc have been ruled to be unenforceable because the terms were too intricate or deliberately worded to be deceiving or discouraged the person from reading it by its length. say i stuck in a clause that you consent to me having intercourse with your wife somewhere in a really boring section or in tiny tiny print. they wouldn't allow that just because you signed to it. but the reverse is true too when a lot of legal words are stuck in to conceal the real aim of how they want to screw you.

a lot of times, they even link to the T&C so you don't have to read it if you don't want to. if they let you skip it without even shoving it in your face for you to sign, they can't expect you to have read it. i agree in whoring it might be costly to overlook reading exactly what you are getting into, but just like a newspaper, T&C is 10% relevant and 90% filler garbage. you can't justify an hour of reading to agree to the terms of use for msn messenger. that's my point.

about the casino's word being final, i would say that if you could prove that the thing you signed/ agreed to (the T&C) was faulty in the way it was constructed/delivered/interpreted, that it would not be binding and thus you never actually agreed for that to be the case. you can't take a contract to a blind man, tell him it's a cheque for a million quid, have him sign it, and enforce it as a contract signing himself into your service to hand you hot towels in your bathroom. both parties need to fully understand the contract, and it must be a valid enforceable contract. anything critical must be glaringly obvious in the T&C. and i would say if the casino screwed you in a particularly bad way, like you banged the guy's wife so he locks your account, that you would have recourse to fight it.

hijacker:

I would say it's more important to read the T&C of a casino where you are depositing your money than that of an instant messenger client. Although I don't know the details of your problem, I will recommend you to rest your case.

Just to clarify on this point, if you get shut down asking for a bonus at casinoblasters casino #2, you can always get your deposit back, it just has to go through their long ass cashout process. I haven't heard about anyone ever getting their deposit seized at CasinoBlasters for attempting another bonus. A friend of mine last week was able to deposit at his second CB casino, was denied the bonus, and cashed back out with no problems and no play.

At this particular casino group, if they give you the bonus, and you haven't misrepresented your identity in any way from the first casino you did (read gnoming), then I believe they will honor it. If anyone has gotten their deposit seized at one of the Casinoblasters casinos I would love to hear about it. FWIW, with other casino groups my advice would be different.

Well, I broke even on CON. Deposited $200, cashed out $200.
I bet 3 x $2 the whole way, and I never went over $400. I was down to $150 at one point though, so I'm just happy I didn't bust.

I'm thinking of doing Golden Palace now, is there anything I should know about this one before I do it? 300% bonus sounds awesome.

edit: Can I do GP even though I have done Twin Aces? Their Disclaimer says you can only do on bonus in their "family of sites" and the software looks very similar to Twin Aces.

[Packard]

Yes you can do both GP and Twin Aces. They are two different ownership groups= Casinoblasters and Main Street

[terrellk11]

If you're lucky, you may be able to get two of the casinoblasters group. I got both GP and Online even though they had cracked down. When I called in about the second (about 10 days ago), I was really polite and friendly with the CS rep and we chatted quite a bit about sports while he went through the verification information. I continued chatting with him as he said he had to see if I'd gotten another bonus already. Of course his search showed I had and that I shouldn't be eligible, but he said he'd allow it to pass through and gave me the second.

Sometimes it pays to be nice . . . literally.
