Building a bankroll - Casino whoring style

Homer · #1 02-27-2005, 02:36 PM

I'm creating a website for complete newbie casino whores and would like some feedback, mostly from posters who have never whored before and maybe from 1 or 2 experienced posters.

I expect to be finished and have a rough draft uploaded by Wednesday or so. If anyone is interested in looking it over for me, I'd appreciate it.

p.s. - Please respond by PM. Thanks...

i've been reading up on casino whoring on 2+2 lately. tempted to get started soon, but sooooo many poker bonuses to do. i know there are great deals out there- i'd esp. liketo know which sites have great monthly bonuses (so i know i need to get started) and what the average hourly winning rate would be on monthly bonuses (i'm at $10-15/hr. playing poker, so only interested in casino whoring that beats that. anyone have these # details? ifnot, i'll wait for your site. good luck with it.

Casino bonuses beat pokerbonus 100-0. They have autoplay, you don't need to do anything, just sit back and roll in the cash :P

Man, that does sound good but I have no idea what you're talking about, having never done a casino bonus before. I'd like to hear more about it. What is the typical deal like? What casino games do you play?

Questions like that are exactly what motivated me to create this site. It seems there is a need for a simple site that explains the basics of casino whoring and helps a new whore get his/her foot in the door. Ideally, my site will help with that.

I've never casino whored before, but would like too. The biggest thing that has always confused me is the autoplay. Is it a software package? Or part of the casino software? Honestly I haven't even researched it but am interested in trying it, which I suppose makes me lazy.

Autoplay is a feature offered by casinos that use the newest version of Microgaming software (which is called Viper). It is surprising simple to use. My site will go into detail on how to set it up and use it and a few starter casinos to try it out on.

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.

I agree with everything you said. To address some of your comments:

- I only plan on listing about 10 casinos, those that I consider the most reputable and those that are easiest to profit from.

- I didn't go into this expecting to turn a profit. I'm not listing all of the casinos out there that are +EV, and if I did, I would gladly tell it like it is for those that are sketchy. If I was out to make a quick buck, I'd create a banner farm and tell people to play at some casino that offers a $250 CPA.

until homer's site goes up, you can also check out www.fairbet.org. they are very good at identifying any T&C restrictions regarding higher WR's for blackjack and video poker, or whether they are even accepted towards the bonus in the first place. using their lists I have never ended up depositing money at an online casino which later on turned out to not accept my games of choice to fulfill their bonus (sadly this list is quite small nowadays).

before I settled on being a +2BB/100 micro-limit whore for good, I didn't try any autoplay/viper/micro sites and I would definitely like to see Homer's analysis and recommendations about those opportunities.

I have this reply to an old casino whore thread if anyone finds it useful:
