Always get all verification done BEFORE playing.

Another update. There is no message stating a limit anymore. I just deposited $50 via e-transfer to play ojo no problemo.

I realize this thread is necro but just want to input I've never had an issue with this site in any major way. Never won 5k though holy. I'm not too worried about selfies on sites, they already have my photo id anyway.

I've used it a couple times on smaller wins just to see what it actually was. Usually flip a coin heads or tails. I don't put any thought into what I pick because I figure whether I win or not is predetermined no matter what I pick.

I can't speak for years ago because I only started messing around with online gambling in October but I just got some some positive news from piggybang. In other news, I think Bingo Hall wants me dead.

Right now my absolute favorite is Sweet Bonanza Xmas by Pragmatic Play. For four reasons. 1. Free spins bonus is insane with high multipliers showing up quite frequently. I've seen the max 100x multiplier quite a few times and even scored on a couple. 2. This game has a higher chance of winning SOMETHING over the wagering amount on any individual spin than any other game I've seen to date. It never really goes much higher than the rare 10x or 15x wager on any spin outside of freespins and often just 1.5x - 3x so its a low chance of building any sort of balance outside of free spins.... however this is the only game I would EVER risk a high single bet (say $50) because it pays out often. It's the opposite of games that nearly never ever pay out but can pay large on a single, regular spin. 3. Because it pays these incremental amounts so often, it's a longer playtime than most of the games out there. 4. Option to buy feature. Costs your bet x 100 but the freespins bonus is good enough that it's actually feasible to take that chance sometimes. #2 Book Of Oz. Not too likely to win anything much in regular play but it has an incredible freespins bonus that shows up often enough. I've had bigger wins in this game than any other. Have won 500-1000x wager a few times. It's too bad I'm (generally) a low roller and usually wager 20 or 30 cents. It's a great game with many copycat games out there, particularly Book of Dead. Honorable Mentions Showdown Saloon (Good middle of the line game with regular wins and freespins bonus shows up often although freespins add nothing special) Crystal Rift (It's almost always a loser but fun to play) Wolf Gold and Mustang Gold (I enjoy the bonuses and graphics) Storm Lords (Great features show up often and I've had a few extended winning streaks on this game) Alkemors Tower (Ridiculous amount of features that show up often enough and are actually good. My highest winning spin of all time was in this game.) Sugar Pop 2 (Pays constantly low amounts. Constant freespins bonuses are welcome though they dont change or add anything. With constant small payouts this is the slowest rolling game of any I've ever seen and you unlock candies with special effects as you "level up" with playtime. Some of them are terrible but hey it's all in fun. Never really win, or lose anything significant so it's good for killing bonuses.)

21Dukes and its sister sites have decent freespins bonuses except it's 25$ maximum cashout. with $50 minimum to withdraw. I've made the bonus twice, with $25 still sitting in one of the sister sites but have yet to cash out. I have a strong feeling I'd be pegged a bonus abuser or something anyway since multiple associated sites are sending me 25 freespins every other day and I tend to play them all. It's all fun and games. I'm actually starting to find myself wanting to gamble for real less and less lately since my last losing streak. I got antsy because Rizk all of a sudden wanted a ton of documents from me for a second round of getting approved on my second withdrawal. I was overall ahead at the time but honestly thought I was just being screwed around so I reversed the withdrawal, blew it and went on a minor losing streak elsewhere. Few days later after some hassle uploading and re-uploading documents Rizk finally approved me again. Should've just left it alone I guess but I'm so paranoid that I'm going to get screwed by these sites I already considered it gone! I see so many bad experiences with people getting completely boned for needing insane documentation as soon as they hit it big, cant withdraw into users specific bank (even when its happened before), or they played "irregularly" by changing bets, accounts frozen at withdrawal time for no reason, fake claims that accounts are connected to other "fraud" accounts, etc. I could never play that one site someone posted here for being a forum member? I read the complaints section often. PlayOJO is about the only site I truly trust right now. Jackpotcity is decent too. But I'm not exactly rolling in cash so I need to be more careful from now on.

Look how big this bonus is. 500% 5 times. Deposit 20. Get 120. At 0.6 percent 100 of it is 166.66x25 wagering = 4166.5x 100 = $416650 to unlock the bonus.. Anyway yes I'll be taking my business elsewhere. I still get a ton of free chips from them so may play solely for fun but that's all.

None.

So I was correct about fairgo giving me the runaround on their bonus. They dont like my Ontario Photo ID and have asked for both pictures and selfies with alternate photo ID, specifically a drivers license or passport. I have neither, just my Ontario Photo ID which is perfectly valid, legal, and approved on several other casinos I have used. I may be heading into the complaints section in a few days if they dont respond to my e-mail with good news in good time. UPDATE: So I've gone into livechat with someone named Tim and he contacted the team in charge or processing ID. They instead requested that I send in a selfie with the ID which was rejected prior since I dont have anything alternate or a birth cerftificate. I've copied and pasted the chat for my records. I've sent my selfie. Not meaning to derail the topic of the thread with this but it's important for me to take note and keep records.

I've done most of my serious play on my laptop. If I have a game going and I'm off to work though, I'll play on my phone while I walk to work and back and on my smoke breaks.

No problem. I do have an update on this issue. My bank (Scotia) can now do e-transfers again but it's a minimum 75$ where before the min was only the $10 required by the sites. I'm not sure about all the banks but it's probably same/similar across the board.

Bingo is 4%. Still super super low.

I'll admit I've won on free no deposit bonuses at couple sites (about $400 cashed out between 777 Casino and Casino Brango sign up bonuses to be specific) but does anyone actually buy the bonus amounts with the ridiculous wagering? I get emails all the time from this casino or that casino with bonuses up to 600% but really what's the point? If I turn 20 into 120 but 100 of it needs to be wagered 50x or whatever then am I not basically just throwing my money away? The chances are very, very slim to actually go on a winning streak big enough to cash out on that. Especially with wagering rules to make sure you cant spin too high an amount the sites usually have. The worst example I can think of is Bingo Hall. This is a free chip bonus but I think it's relevant. 25$ free chip with 25x wagering. Sounds reasonable right? I went on a big winning streak, betting low and all and should have nearly been there but when I checked my account after HOURS of winnings I was only 2% into the bonus! I went on livechat and it turns out, after much prodding and prying about the math, that on Bingo Hall only 0.6% of what you wager on slots is applied to the 25x wagering. 100/0.6 = 166.66 and 166.66 x 25 = 4166.5x wagering. Absolutely staggering that I later managed a whole 3% by the time I lost it all. It's despicable honestly, and the livechat guy said I should just make a deposit so as not to be subjected to the 0.6% BS. Like I'd trust a site with my real hard earned money when it actively practices scam bonuses. Could literally win a dozen jackpots and never make that bonus cash out. I don't even know what their maximum cashout is. Probably like 50 cents lol and minimum 5000 withdrawal with 4999 transfer fee lol. Just joking but still. Anyway I'm becoming very very wary of most of the casinos online because of this issue with the bonuses being their main selling point but really its but a dream to expect to win. Some sites have no wagering bonuses which are the one I mainly stick to now. Playojo and Rizk have been good to me. So has piggybang. Im thinking of playing more casino brango or 777 but never again with the bonuses unless its absolutely free chip since I know they cash out and in good time. Been waiting on Fairgo to get my documents approved since I managed the playthrough on some free Christmas spins and even made the $100AUD minimum required to withdraw. I have a funny feeling about this for some reason, like it's not going to pan out cause its been awhile with no response. Anyway my point is wagering bonuses are a scam and truly designed to make the casinos more money when the players almost inevitably lose it all to the playthrough requirements. Agree? Disagree? I don't think all bonuses are bad and its all impossible all the time since I've cashed out a couple times, but it's not a good system to play if you're paying into it.

Just wanted to throw it out there that after a total blackout on e-transfer deposits in Canada on both playojo and jackpotcity, now several banks will not work. I am unsure if this is affecting any other sites but I feel from the looks of it that it's system-wide on gambling so it probably is. It's too bad. I loved playing on playojo but now I have to jump through hoops with buying ecocards for ecopayz at a hefty fee. Then playojo deducts something like 5%. I've moved most of my business elsewhere due to the e-transfer issue.
