[What's people's opinion on staking X amount to get bonus than having to wager that too?]

Unfortunately alot of casinos in UK are doing more bonus types where you have to first play an X amount £20-£50 than they give you a bonus, than you have to wager that an X amount of times usually 35-40x.

Feels like a double wagering.

[What's people's opinion on staking X amount to get bonus than having to wager that too?]

Hi all,

Noticed alot of casinos recently doing offers we're you have to first play say £20 on a specific live casino game Eg evolution roulette than you'll get a £5 bonus. 

Than you have to wager that 35x but the 10% contribution applies on table games meaning in total you have to spend £20 to get £5 bonus than wager £1,750 to convert it into cash that's a total of £1,770 for a £5. 

Works out to £1,770 / £5 = 354 wagering requirement.

[Trada Casino - What's happened to them?]

A complete ban? As in your account was blocked? Or banned from claiming bonuses? A complete ban seems a little harsh indeed!! 

It was a complete account closure.

I deposited and after my session I withdrew. 

I see on my email your withdrawal processed and a second email a minute later stating trada casino has made a management decision to no longer offer services and as per our terms we don't have to give a reason etc. 

After calling support multiple times one of them managed to find the reason because I've accepted more bonuses than deposits. 

When you deposit say £60 you can add code CB25 which is cash back 25%. 

How that works is 25% of £60 is added as cash back £15 where you get £2 added instantly after you've wagered £70.

Same as a 35x wagering. 

Now whenever I deposit I always use cash back even though I'll never get the full amount of cash back since I'll have to wager thousands. 

There own terms state customers above 100 cash back will be restricted I've only deposited around 30x so still got a long way to go. 

Now since I'm depositing alot I also get Thursday loyalty no deposit free spins plus whenever a new game added or Christmas advent free spins. 

These extra offers pushes you to have more bonuses claimed than deposits. 

When I sent a complaint first they tell me the customer support is wrong that's not the reason for ban. 

After threatening with legal action due me being autistic and if something makes no logical sense it can affect me they decided to give me the reason which is due to excess bonus claimed as originally explained by customer support which management falsely denied at first. 

I will own up and state one mistake I did make was the last deposit or two I didn't do a full 1x turnover on deposit, I mean you deposit you hit a big win early or hit profit within first few spins your gonna take it rather than risk losing it all.

You deposit £60 balance goes up to £70 you withdraw 

You deposit £60 balance goes down to £20 you withdraw 

Ive checked there terms and no where it states you can be outright account closure for claiming more bonuses than deposits.

 

[Trada Casino - What's happened to them?]

Hi all been a while hope all good, 

Noticed a trada post so thought I'll add my experience a few months back. 

Trada used to be one of my favourite casinos, the customer support we're excellent and friendly but be careful of offers they give since you can be banned for accepting more bonuses than you've deposited. 

Eg they give you free no deposit spins for Thursday loyalty and the occasional free spins and if your bonuses claimed exceed your total deposits you will be banned without them giving you a reason and just saying as per our terms we can close an account without giving a reason. 

It took me threatening them with legal action just to get reason for the ban.

[Can I Win More By Depositing More?]

Hello Monica 

As others have said it doesn't matter how much you deposit if the slots gonna pay it will pay regardless of how much you deposit. 

My advice would be to break it up to 5 x $50 or even 10 x $25.

This way you can try out different days and hopefully catch a lucky session since its all RNG with casino having more of a edge in long run.

Eg 5 x $50 doing 200 spins at 25 cents

Session 1: lost $15

Session 2: lost $10

Session 3: won $40 (me personally would withdraw entire balance now since I'm in profit and call it a month now) 

Session 4: lost $20

Session 5) lost $15

Also after each session I personally withdraw the balance remaining after x amount of spins since if the slots not paying it makes no sense to play till entire balance is zero and I at least got some money back, these few simple money management skills along with bonuses have allowed me to stay ahead of the casino. 

I hope this helps and wish you good fortune on your sessions. 

[NetEnt's New Conan Slot: What Are Your Views?]

This game is awesome and scary on balance, when I first saw trailer for the game I too was excited since I loved the films original arnold ones.

As few of you might know on the forums I tend to test a game out on demo for 5,000-10,000 spins before I ever give a game a go. 

 

Well decided to finally play it with real money with a balance of £300 and ended up in profit of £17 and cashed out.

I've noticed the game is either in winning mode  (free spins after free spins) or losing mode (no free spins in hundreds of spins) 

Even at minimum bet 0.20p it can quickly drain your balance due to low pay table and no free spins or multiplier wins so have to hope for the multiplier to trigger to try keep balance up till you hit the scatters.

The middle free spins medium/high volatility bonus is the only one worth selecting since its either win big 100-200x plus or measly amount (think of dead or alive part one free spins all or nothing) 

The other two free spins are nothing to write home about from my testing hence in real money I stuck to the middle bonus.

Its definitely a game I'll recommend if you have a balance for 1500 bets or more since it can take a few bonus rounds till you hit big, have a stop loss if no big wins after 1,500 bets or so just stop. 

This is based on my personal experience, everyone will have their own experience.

Aha!!!  The best kinds of wins. We had a similar thread before but if my memory serves me right, accidentally pressing max bet! I've done accidental bets loads of times but the two I remember most is a £16 bet bet on Fantastic Four and a £10 bet on a game I don't remember, both with zero return. The casino did refund me the £10 on the second one though lol.

Incredible win well done @Kingraj. No more accidental bets though, you may not be as lucky again 

Thank you, yes I agree no more accidental bets. I was very fortunate I won.

[When you accidentally bet and win]

Congratulations on your win too, yes this was on live dream catcher I won on. 

It's just the mobile phone on landscape view hence it looks that way when a number is landed. 

[When you accidentally bet and win]

Thought I'll make a fun topic where mistakes pay off. 

So logged on my mobile phone to see the stats on dream catcher and as I pressed play to load the screen I accidentally betted 10p on number two with only 7 seconds left till bet over I tried to cancel my bet but instead I was accidentally pressing double up button and watched in horror I'm betting more and more till I realised I betted £102.40p

I was gutted I worked hard to build my balance and the number 2 lands £307.20p WON!!

Well.. I always thought max Paylines  had to be active on MM but I’ve gone through the paytable and it doesn’t say they do! Weird. 

 

Exactly, hence I logically presumed you don't need max lines.

Wonder if anyone in askgamblers community has entered jackpot round with less than 25 lines, since that'll verify you don't need max lines.

As far as I know, a number of Jackpot Games would require you to Play with bigger bets for better chances of getting that Jackpot Bonus Round, even though it may very infrequently come at the minimum bet...nonetheless, you must Play with ALL playlines...insufficient playlines, like what our Mr Kingraj has been doing, would simply mean not getting any chance at the Jackpot Bonus Round at all!

Okay, so this isn't mentioned anywhere nowadays...but many years ago, some Jackpot Games clearly stated that play must be with all playlines to stand a chance of triggering the Jackpot Bonus Round...bigger bets would stand a higher chance of triggering it...max bets would have the best chances!

Would you think that those rules/terms may have changed nowadays? I don't think so...but no casino would want to state it nowadays! 

Yes I've seen many progressive slots that usually require max lines or max bet like that jackpot giant game £4 bet. 

If a mega moolah required max lines and they don't state that to enter jackpot round would that not be misleading and they can get in trouble for it? 

[Mega moolah average spins for jackpot round]

Hi all hope all well, 

As some of you might know I like to test games out whether demo or real play mode (98.99% time demo mode) 

Mega moolah I've been playing for couple months since early 2019 with a balance of £50 betting 1p with 1 line. 

I would do 5000 spins than stop and withdraw whatever remaining balance left if less than £50.

If I reach a new high I would restart 5000 spins till I no longer hit a new high after 5000 spins. 

Only once I turned my £50 into £200 every other session been 10%-40% loss from £50.

Anyway in the approximately 50,000 plus spins I've never entered jackpot round, I am aware the more you bet the higher the chance to enter eg 25p bet is 25x more likely to trigger than a 1p bet. 

What's everyone else's personal experiences 

1- bet amount

2- amount of spins taken to trigger jackpot round at that bet level 

3- which jackpot won

Thank you all in advance 

[Monopoly live discussion]

Hi there copyyy 

I have played monopoly live quite alot but stopped playing it for a while now. 

My highest win was 282x on a 10p bet on 2 ROLLS board.

Theres a video on YouTube people won over 2,000x bet but it's only happened once as far as I know few months back. 

Statistically dream catcher is better.

Monopoly live is a money sink mostly, I've followed the game over 12hrs straight and seen 4 & 2 ROLLS pay awful until finally 4 ROLLS came twice within 4 spins of each and people won over 500x & 200x

Wheel has 54 segments

2x chance segments

3x 2 ROLLS

1x 4 ROLLS 

So every 486 spins expect a multiplier 2 ROLLS

and every 1458 spins a multiplier 4 ROLLS 

Since chance segments can give either cash win or a multiplier from 2x to 10x its actually alot more spins than above to get 10x 2 ROLLS or 4 ROLLS not to mention will Mr monopoly be able to reach the end of the board.

Dont get me wrong, I've enjoyed the game and if you enter the game at the right moment when the host is lucky enough to land alot of 2 & 4 ROLLS during their 30 minutes you will make profits but in the long run it will eat up your balance fast if all your betting is 2 & 4 ROLLS. 

I used to play for 200 spins max at 10p if I make a profit before 200 spins up I stop and get out fast.

Enjoy the game for entertainment purposes only.

[Do you trust a casinos support team telling you which slots are the “hottest” at the moment]

Holy cow! Thank you soo much!! I love all the knowledge I have gained here  I am adding a new question to my post now. Since Uptown Aces is black listed what do you members recommend? I have been using Mandarin Palace for over a year now and it has faired me quite well. However I have noticed recently That that casino is blacklisted too. Thank you!

Your welcome, feel free to ask any questions, we're all here to help

[Do you trust a casinos support team telling you which slots are the “hottest” at the moment]

Hello Feeshmon, 

Slots are all based on a Random Number Generator (RNG) 

The RNG is doing like millions of different outcomes a second. 

Try to think of it this way, imagine you have a bottle with like 10 dices and when you shake the bottle if all the dice numbers are higher than

7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7 than you get a big win. 

If you can land

10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10-10

You win the JACKPOT 

What happens is any given month majority of people may have won on a particular slot more than other slots (this could be due to many factors like people prefere a particular slot more hence if a slot is getting more actions your bound to see someone hit a big payout eventually than another slot that might be less popular amongst people. 

There is no such thing as HOT or COLD slot, they are all RNG based. 

The only thing that can affect how often you win is the variance eg High or Medium or Low variance and RTP but in the long term you will lose money. 

I hope this clears things up I too once believed in this Hot & Cold nonsense but thanks to askgamblers community learnt alot and saw through the smoke. 

[Hitting 3 dozens in a row]

[Casinos removing demo modes on slots?]

18 hours ago, ValDes said:

Afraid @blondie is right and all these new regulations regarding age verification even when demo/free Play mode is involved are now reality and all operators operating under the relevant licence must comply.  

@Kingraj we are not expecting  serious consequences for the AG slots portfolio simply because we could easily switch between casinos with different licences but still, please feel free to PM me in case you notice some inaccessible game here.  

Thanks, what I'm confused about is while I understand age verification needed to stop under age accessing and getting hooked on games, for us adults who are over 18 and have a account and KYC done at said casino they should allow us to play demo atleast, seems the people behind the regulations didn't think this through

[Casinos removing demo modes on slots?]

Hi all, 

I've noticed many casinos im registered with are removing play for fun on slots, only left with tradacasino (no quickspin and alot of games removed if fun mode) and grosvenor (not much selection of latest games). 

I used to do my testing on leo Vegas, royal panda in past which stopped and now yesterday unibet stopped too. 

Responses I get is to stop under age from getting into gambling fair enough but surely if its a registered account and your KYC done than they'll know its an adult playing.

Will askgamblers keep demo modes still just wondering?

Thanks for all the info and screenshots Kingraj! 

Not to lose 100 GBP after many hours of playing can only happen in FUN MODE!

I Lost $100 in under 1 hour playing in real mode at 0.18 bets...that's about 2 hours if on 0.09 bets...and from that alone, proof of the HUGE difference in the 2 Play modes!

I was at minus £96 when connection lost but I'm gonna do another test but with train heist this time and if I'm feeling daring I just might risk on real play for £100-£200 budget 

[Dead or Alive 2]

OK done with spins managed to do about 5,250ish spins before for some reason connection lost to server. 

All spins in one sitting on demo and only chose high noon saloon. 

28 x features triggered 

Highest win 365.66x

4 scatters twice

5 extra spins retrigger once

Average bonus round 187 ish but I believe it will be 160ish if I did more spins. 

Balance never went below £100 on 0.09p bets

I've added all screenshots of bonus round results and the 4 scatter wins and 5 extra spins and after every 1,000 spins the remaining balance. Phew exhausted

Final thoughts since high saloon pays a cap of 100,000x bet which is like 10x higher than the classic bonus round I'm guessing it's gonna be 10x harder...

I'll post results once done 10,000 spins or 100 bonuses whichever first mate

I'll post the results today gonna start soon should take a few hours

Hehehe...thanks for the confidence mate...but don't forget though...your demo tests must be compared with your real money plays, in order to make a relevant comparison! Why? Simply because, as I've said earlier on, your play, on your machine, at your casino, would not be the same as someone else's Play on their machine, at their casino - that's because of the operating environment variables. 

I 100% agree testing should be done on real play but my reasoning behind demo tests are 

1) if demo pays better than real play and I'm having a hard time keeping my balance up than I know real play will eat my bankroll 

2) I get a rough gauge how often a bonus feature comes and how long it can take max 

I use all those info when I play slots to help me stay ahead of the casino

Out of curiosity, Trada still not have quickspin enabled  for their slots? 

Yeah, I saw the bonus frequency of 160 odd; I’m about 300 in DOA 1. Grr. 

That bonus of 160 odd, from my 6,000 spins I tested on demo I got 3-5 bonus average per 1,000 spins so the distribution must be extremely long.

Im gonna be doing another test today a straight one long test and record the results.

While I still personally on the side with Afi4wins demo pays different from real play, the testing should give some indication of bonus round frequency
