Casino Whoring question

[Yobz]

Not sure if this is the right forum (if not, correct me)

I signed up for casino-on-net w/$200 and got the $200 deposit bonus. If I lose my $200 bonus, can I cash out the remaining (my original) $200 or do I still have to play through?

Thanks guys!

no. that would make it risk free, everyone would do it, and the casino would go broke. with this policy, nobody would ever post a net loss, would they?
(this was not a smartass answer, i was just trying to get you to see the reasoning)

[Yobz]

Thats what I figured, although I remember hearing somewhere that there was a casino that let you do that. Maybe it was a long time ago before they started getting stricter

[Mr_J]

Casino-on-net allowed it when I was bonus hustling (been 18 months since I've done it though). Bonus was $1k deposit, $200 bonus with 2xbonus rollover (although you may have had to wager the 1k once through to receive the bonus). As with intercasino, you could cash out as soon as you got the bonus for a risk free shot. Bad for cover though.

looks like you should check tho. mr_j seems to think it may be still valid. i only knew of cryptos and pacific where this could be done. maybe CON is on the list too??

i'm sure someone will chime in. but if you want risk free bonuses, hurry with the cryptos because they seem to be vanishing as well

If CON allows this, I have pissed ALOT of money away. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

Seriously, I'm pretty darn sure that CON does not allow riskfree bonus whoring. They are hard enough on the who good old fashion whore who pays his money and takes his chances.

Several months ago, most of the Cryptos were risk free. Now, pretty much all of those deals are gone. The golden goose has been beaten to death with a brown trout.

I have heard that this is true as well.

just this month, the whores at Sands, VIP and Omni all got a lot worse or just disappeared.

intercasino, cherry/domain, that's about it for me right now. CON has some minimal opportunities about once or twice a month.

luckily, poker remains good due to heavy industry growth and competition.

I think I actually like it this way. A lot of the low hanging bonuses are gone, but there are still a lot of good one's out there (stickys, mainly) if you are willing to put some research into learning the optimal strategy and are willing to risk some of your own money. In the end, your results will be the same (assuming you are adequately bankrolled), but the bonuses are more likely to remain available.

alot of the old bonuses are quietly reappearing as well. the WR is a bit higher, but still beatable. also, when the sign-up bonuses all went away for that period, i was getting GREAT reload offers that still continue to this day. i don't think the huge, easy ones will fully return, but i do see some progress in many microgaming rooms.

that is, until you announce some of them

I'm waiting for a real doozy, so I can completely piss off the BW posters who got mad when I announced the Reef Club bonus.
