I think, during our AG demo play contests in 2025 which made us spam demo bonus buys for days, we have learned that they act identically to the real money version. The only thing differing, is that the demo will usually be set to the highest RTP setting while the casino will usually have a lower setting enabled on real play. In the past, certain providers would have far more lively demo versions of their slots but these shenanigans were at some point put an end to.

I've had profitable years but 2025 certainly wasn't one. After winning a little and withdrawing decent amounts, I will redeposit the following day and I sometimes tend to follow up by treating myself to some bonus buy sprees and these rarely end well. So, most of what I cash out, goes straight back in again sooner or later. What I can say, is that the various contests running throughout the year offer an invaluable opportunity to be playing with both a boosted RTP of sorts, and additional entertainement value, and I'm really happy to have made a very decent amount from a whole lot of money prizes! Much love to @cocopop3011 ! As for sports betting, I have reduced my frequency quite a bit in recent years and tend to do better (as in less worse) in that field than on slots but I could only end the year in break even. But break even is satisfying enough. So far in '26, I've only made one bet: an 'Over 3.5 Goals' on last night's Bundesliga Hamburg-derby. The game ended 0:0, so I think I'll go back to laying low again! Slots so far in 2026 has been one lost deposit after another, but eventually it'll be all good times again, and I intend to be around when that time comes!

I've never had issues stacking bonuses. Like, in PlayAmo for example, I will sometimes get a handful of no deposit free spins. After playing them, I will then exchange my loyalty points for cash and then spend my earned store points for more cash, so I will have 3 bonuses activated simultaneously in one balance. These bonuses are wagered one by one. I think by not allowing bonus stacking, they mean that you can't make 2 deposits and take like a 1st deposit bonus and a 2nd deposit bonus at the same time and then add them together to one balance but I doubt this is technically possible anyway. I know some casinos forbid the 'Bonus Hunt'. Like, you play some games untill the bonus feature land and then save playing out these features for later, preferably to after the bonus wagering is over. Maybe this could be what they mean by 'Bonus Stacking'.

My previous deposit went straight down the drain too, making it quite a few in a row now to suffer the same fate but I am ever hopeful and on this fresh one, the ok wins have started appearing a bit further into the wagering so this attempt might just have a better fortune written over it!

Stormforged, 712.6x

This evening's been the first time in a couple of weeks my deposit hasn't been just eaten up right from the get-go and now with the 300x's starting to show up again, I'm eagerly anticipating the next step up in wins and will hopefully have made it through the dry spell still spinning on!

Aside from the Premium Members by title, is it the 'usual invites' for now?

November prize money received (bank transfer). Wonderful!

In the handful of casinos I've checked, anything OnlyPlay is set to a min bet of 10 NOK (used to be 2). That's almost 1 EUR pr bet. Don't know if it's equivalent for you guys playing in other currencies? Either way, Plinko is not a kind of game I enjoy much, so I think I'll have to pass on this one. But it 's nice to see a new provider, hope we'll get many more new aqcuaintances through the year!

Done a fair few spins on Hacksaw over the last 10 days or so. Even at min bet, it starts to hurt real quickly when playing these slots! Fortunately, I did find some nice hits along the way to reduce my losses, and here are the highlights:

This one wasn't sticky, so just bumping it so it's not overlooked when the December summary is done @cocopop3011

Thank you Would love to see this particular contest in '26 too! I'm sure we'd have a lot more competitors this time around

Not as good yesterday even though it started out wonderfully with a highly enjoyable session on Relax, but I've still got the free spins win and have nearly wagered it too.

King Billy's got a decent VIP promo every Friday where they'll give you 110 so called high bet free spins of 1 EUR each on Kraken's Hunger (BGaming, 97% RTP) for a 300 EUR deposit. The free spins result come with 25x wagering and no max win, so it's a pretty good offer, which I occasionally take them up on. These 110 spins played out real well for me this time so now I've got myself another bonus to wager!

December #5 - Final entry of 2025! Xmas Drop, 1,868.6x Used in the Xmas Themed Screenshot Contest - Win a Share of 1,000 EUR - Exclusive Competitions & Contests - AskGamblers

I think, for what it's worth, that in the spirit of Christmas we should be forgiving and let them get away with a warning this time I'm sorry I missed their lack of non-contest posts, I'd surely have given them a friendly heads up that they needed to make one before the contest ended, and I would have thought so would any other member of this community.

It's the trend with these recent games, isn't it. The free spins are practically worthless. Sweet Rush, Starlight, and this one were all the same, where nearly all notable hits were from the base game. I didn't play this one much, but you can tell from just a few bonuses that this is dead spins galore, I doubt this will have changed much even 200 bonuses in. If you play with the ante bets they encourage you to, you'll be out of balance before you know it since the free spins most likely won't make up for the additional cost and you'll get less base game spins. Also, this means you more or less have to monitor every spin because you can't just put it on turbo autospins and go do something else since the game log probably will be needed for the contest and often these game logs only consist of your last handful of spins Also, needing 4 scatters to retrigger, just like in Sweet Rush, is ridiculous so no wonder we hardly see any in either game. Pragmatic have given us a lot of interesting and enjoyable contests in the past. Recently, they all became more streamlined, monotonous and most of all feel like a chore - and an expensive one at that!

Imagine winning the Xmas Contest right at the end with a full screen Fat Santa! What could be more fitting? Almost there!
