Building a bankroll - Casino whoring style

[jonnyb]

After reading this huge thread, I'd like to quote the retarded guy from Anchorman: "What are we yelling about?"

[Dariel86]

My opinion is that you really can get the whoring info elsewhere if you want. The terms of bonuses will get shittier for sure if everyone starts whoring. Then it ain't going to be any easy money anymore.

I wonder why the other places you can get the info are providing it... Perhaps the same reason Homer plans to?

The point is this will be informative to some people, but he will see some profit from it. I can't see any fault in that I came around to early to make use of his bankroll building post, but it would have been amazing to have it a couple years ago.

I don't really have a point, but good luck on the venture Homer.

usually, USUALLY, you just check a box that says 'i am of age'. sometimes they ask for ID, but rarely.

what are you, 16 or something? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

No, I'm just not 21. Didn't know if the rules were strange (like Prima sometimes asks for Utility Bill).

cash-out times are very important.
as one who never whored casinos (well only once), I would happily review your site and since I was thinking of going on a whoring spree anyway, even be a guinea pig.

Homer this would be great.

Just yesterday. I posted this message over at Bonus Whore's and got no response.

Any recommendations for a website or FAQ that has an update to list of non-sticky casino bonus.

So far I have used the invaluable
http://suckout.blogspot.com/2004/12/...o-bonuses.html and worked my way down to through most of the casinos in Step 2.

I also have been to http://www.onlineblackjackguide.com/rankings.html which has some handy charts but I am not sure it is kept update. A couple of casino bonus weren't flagged as sticky but actually were or they don't allow BJ. I signed up for one casino Indo that I thought had a regular 100% match bonus 15x (D+B) WR, only to find out that the bonus was sticky. Luckily, I was up $550, so I won't complain.


So far my favorites have been Starluck, and Planetluck, great bonuses, low WRs, good customer service, and lightning fast withdrawls, a Bonus Whore's dream. I'l definetly be back to do the IGM Pay bonus.

TIA for any help.

I just started casino whoring a couple of weeks ago and I've done 8 casino bonus. The first casino I did Golden Palace was such a hassle, I definitely would have avoided doing it if I had understood that the bonus was sticky (i.e. it well disappear when you withdraw money) and it is easier/faster to get a home equity loan than cashout from Golden Palace. (I'm still waiting 2 weeks after requesting a withdrawl)

This folks is why we need Homer's website.

To the people whining about this destroying casino bonus shame on you for being so selfish, not to mention silly. The beauty of the internet is it facilitate information sharing, which equalize the power imbalance between us the masses and large institutions.

The cover story of last weeks Barron's had an article about Partygaming, the parent company of Party Poker, Planetluck, and Starluck Casino, preparing to go Public for an estimated $5,000,000,000. Let's see if 10,000 2+2ers whore PlanetLuck for $100 each that is $1,000,000 in bonuses. Let's see $1 million for a company worth $5 billion, peanuts?, naw more like mouse nuts!

Homer top two request for your website are #1 a glossary of terms, and #2 each link to a casino should also have a link to the T&C for the casino promotions. Casino's like to hide them for fear of terrifying the fish and frustrating the bonus whore.

I'm sure people said the exact same thing when sites like casinowhores.com came out.... Back then 5x WR were commonplace, no? So they already have gotten shittier for everyone else, but you're not complaining about the current situation, are you?

I wouldn't worry about it. the only casinos that I know ask for ID are Lasseters and aus vegas, though there could be more. most microgaming casinos ask for the last four digits of your ss number. i don't know if this reveals your age or not.

in addition, the box says "of legal age" it makes no mention of what that age is. just do it. you could lose, what, a hundy? big deal, you'll lose that when you bust some of the casinos anyway, there is more than enough profit out there to cover it.

I'd like to know how you could possibly make a profit playing casino games with a built in negative expectation. Unless of course the bonus will make it a positive expectation, but I'd like to see the math on this written out explicitly.

Here is the basic math.
Unlike poker bonus which pay you after you've completed raked hands, casino's give you the money upfront. The catch is that you aren't allowed to withdraw any money (yours or the bonus money) until you have wagered $X.

A good casino bonus might be deposit $100, which they match with $100. You than have to wager $3000 before withdrawing.

The house advantage on blackjack (played correctly) is ~.5%. So that means you on average you'll lose $15 ( $3000 * .5%) before meeting the wagering requirement, but they gave you $100 up front so you are left with an $85 profit. If you have the patience to bet $1 you are virtually assured of doing no worse than break even. If you are like me and bet $5 to $10 hand your variance is higher but you can clear the bonus in a couple of hours or less.

The biggest problem is that for every good casino bonus with a +EV there are several with a marginal EV, and even some with -EVs. Unfortunately, without literally reading the fine print and doing the math, it is impossible to figure out which is which, because the Casino promotions are so deceptive.

Hmmm lets see.

Starluck pays 75$ per signup CPA up to 250$ if you get enough signups.

Ditto with Planetluck, Aceclub.

He'll be potentially making up to $500 per person who signs up through his system via 2+2.
