Default Re: Building a bankroll - Casino whoring style

The biggest problem with casino whoring is their T&C's are insanely difficult to comprehend. They go out of their way to make the terms of the bonuses hard to find, and the explanations - when you finally find them - are often contradictory and vague.

You have to find them, though, because every T&C is different, and if you're not careful, you'll wind up playing BJ at a casino where BJ is excluded from the wager requirement. My worst experience ever was when I put in a ton of money for what seemed like an especially juicy bonus, only to find out after the fact that only slots were allowed. I lost it all, of course.

Also, there's a lot of shady casinos out there. CasinoMeister's full of stories of casinos vanishing into the night, and there's at least one confirmed case of a casino dealing seconds to itself. You can read about it at the Wizard of Odds. I'm sure it's not the only one.

I did all the bonuses at CasinoWhores, but I don't go out of my way to look for them anymore. The amount of time it takes to sort them, plus the danger of getting ripped off, makes them -EV, from my point of view.

Now if there was a site that did that for me, that would be something else...

As I'm sure you know, Homer, the Casinos pay buttloads to webmasters who direct traffic to their sites. As a result, most casino "review" sites are nothing more than shills for whichever casinos pay them.

An honest site would be valuable, especially since CasinoWhores has closed.
