Littlewoods Question
So i made my 1st deposit on there this month and got an email saying they paid me for the monthly bonus. for some reason i have 50 pounds more that hasnt cleared yet. This doesnt make sense since the bonus is only 25 pounds. i thought maybe there was an initial 25 pound sign up bonus on top of the monthly, but then there is still an extra 25 in there. I have no idea how many hands I need to clear this mystery bonus either....

Re: Littlewoods Question
risk free means that the 50 pounds added to your account will not deduct from your withdrawable cash balance while you're in the process of clearing it off.
example: you deposit $200 get a $50 risk free bonus playable amount - $250 withdrawable amount - $200 then you play some poker, win some from actual play, and then get a $25 bonus from poker which is cashable immediately. the $50 casino bonus still sits on top. playable amount - $314 withdrawable amount - $264 you play in the casino and lose $40 in risk free chips. your withdrawable amount does not change. playable amount - $274 withdrawable amount - $264 you gambool some more and loose all your risk free chips and then dip into your actual cash reserve. your casino bonus has not cleared so the cashier still indicates how much of your cash balance is pending should you emerge back from the deficit. playable amount - $232 withdrawable amount - $264 you clear the casino bonus and ended up slightly positive, so the withdrawable amount is now the same as your playable amount. playable amount - $296 withdrawable amount - $296 see you next month

[/ QUOTE ] the casino rollover is only 20x bonus so games with house advantage of below 1% (played with correct strategy) will clear very efficiently with relatively low risk of ruin. blackjack is popular and easy, as is video poker (Jacks or Better). Pontoon also has a very low edge but not everyone (including myself) has bothered to learn how to play that yet. keeping variance low means placing smaller bets which can make casino bonuses a bit tedious. larger bet sizes will clear the wagering requirement faster but increases the risk of ruin (though obviously, the bonus chips are completely free of any true financial obligation should you lose). you just have to decide what your happy medium is. these are some sites which have "double-dip" monthly bonuses for both poker and casino: William Hill Littlewoods Totalbet UK Betting Eurobet (seems to be something that British sites like to do, apparently) also, the Peak Entertainment group has separate monthly bonuses for Caribbean Sun poker and Omni Casino/Sands of the Caribbean Casino, though these casino bonuses are NOT risk free (they are paid after you complete the WR's with your own money).

www.buildingabankroll.com [/ QUOTE ] that site is only good for the three most basic sites that everyone knows already. half of the links are empty, Ruby Fortune's T&C is trashed, and you should NOT deposit to CON with neteller or your WR increases from 10x to 50x. honestly, there's really no point in sending anyone there, and you're technically violating 2+2 protocol because of the affiliate linkage on that site.

[/ QUOTE ] well that was fun. I got through almost have the wagering requirement and then crashed and burned. maybe next month. did i have 50 to try instead of 25 because i made the initial deposit this month or is it always 50 even though the site says 25?
