The loyalty points can be locked for any number of reasons, but the algorithm is calculated based on deposits, cashins, wagering and bonuses. There is no exact formula that we are made aware of as it could be different for each individual player, but if you have shown that you are willing to risk your own funds, with and without a bonus, then the points will unlock on their own. If you are jumping from casino to casino just to take the sign up bonus, I would guess this is a sure-fire way to lock up the points as it seems to the system that you're only interested in gaining the maximum bonus for the minimum deposit. I hope that helps

Another great 50% up to $100 Deposit Bonus!! Slot of the week is "Fruit Frenzy" Get it HERE and use the code: SOWBANANA Wagering: 30x (deposit+bonus); Expiration: 3rd March 2014.

HI cocopop3011, Yes - if a player receives a $100 bonus, 10% will be released everytime they wager $200. So with 20x bonus only wager, - it is easier for players to wager through the bonus, other than with the older wagering requirements. Kind Regards, Lucas

I'm no bonus hunter, since taking a bonus usually means some restrictions being enforced to your game play. However, taking advantage from a deposit bonus can extend your game time and give some additional bankroll to maybe try bigger bets. The art is to be able to separate good deposit bonuses from the bad. Like cocopop mentioned in het reply above me it's important to know if you can extract any value from the offered deposit bonuses. The higher the wagering requirements, the lower your odds usually are to be able to cash out with some profit. There is something like a Bonus EV-calculator which gives you the expected value based on the bonus percentage, wagering requirements and the avg. RTP of a specific slot. Experienced bonus users tend to make use of such calculations before they take on a bonus. I usually only use deposit bonuses if they offer a bonus percentage of 100% or above and wagering requirements of 35x or less and very rarely 40x. Anything higher is usually not worth the effort for me. Then you also have no-deposit bonuses which don't have any risks involved. You will usually come across very high wagering requirements, since they are free and some casinos just don't want you to be able to cash out from them lol. I usually don't use these except if it's a reliable casino that has a decent offer with WR of 50 or less. Over the past 12 months I been able to convert small no-deposit bonuses and free spins offers to 850 euros, 650 euros, 100 euros and 25 euros. I cashed most of these out and messed it up at some other casinos lol. So think about it...chances are slim, but you have nothing to lose eventually.

I dont know if this is the right place to tell my opinion about Casino Rewards but I will do it!I made a deposit to a casino that belongs to Casino Rewards program and I received 100% bonus!i completed the wagering requirements and requested an withdrawal!nothing strange so far!I made same day another deposit to another casino of Casino Rewards,I received my vip points but I wasnt able to convert them to cash money because I received an error that the vip redemption has been suspended for my account!I acontacted the Casino Rewards support and they told me that I have to make more deposits to be able to redeem my vip points!I dont see the advantage of this program!I didnt made any mistake or bonus abuse and they suspended my vip points redemption!

Well, although the above explanations about country based restrictions are true, they are far away from the core of the problem. Actually there might be many reasons for an online casino to impose such restrictions and I will try to list below some of them with a brief explanation. 1) The gambling legislation for the specific country - the brightest example for this rule should be USA and the famous UIGEA(Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) from 2006, which basically forbid online gambling in USA. Since 2006 more than 2000 online casinos imposed restrictions upon players from within US. 2) Licenses and licensing jurisdictions - each licensing jurisdiction and the issued licenses come with some specific restrictions, see this guide for more info Casino licensing, regulation and certification – are they really so important? 3) Restrictions, connected with the gambling provider/software - often gambling software providers do not accept players, residing in countries where these companies have offices. A typical example is Playtech, which second biggest office is situated in Sofia and therefore 99% of all Playtech powered casinos do not accept players from Bulgaria. 4) Marketing based restrictions - it is not s secret that most NetEnt operators are targeting only a few big markets, like Germany, Scandinavian countries and UK for example and therefore most of their promotions are exclusively for players residing in these countries. A typical example here could be RedBet and its free spins offers. Of course there are many other reasons for casinos to use so many different restrictions, being it country based, bonus based, wagering based and so on... But it is all based on one and the same thing after all - money and markets.

I always follow the following steps when I choose a specific online casino: 1) Reliability - I cannot stress enough how important this is. Do your research before selecting an online casino. There are several great forums including AskGamblers to see how a casino is rated and if they have any complaints. Sometimes you won't find any negativity on the internet at all, most often that's a good thing if a provider is a reliable and has a good reputation. Be careful with new casinos though, since they might not display any negativity online because of their new status. 2) Games - The second thing I check is which games do they have? If they have games from Microgaming or NetEnt, then they usually are a reliable operation from my experience. Those are the best two software providers hands down. A trend in the online casino industry is that more and more casinos offer a multi-software platform these days with even more games. I usually go for them to play only the best of the best. I also check if they offer live casino games such a roulette, blackjack and baccarat. I like to play table games against real dealers, since the software version is quite boring and doesn't appeal to me. The presence of online poker and sportsbetting at an online casino is always a plus IMO. 3) Cash out speed - I like to be able to cash out, just as easily as I can deposit. Of course that's not possible due to security verifications. However, some online casinos do come pretty close to that just like Redbet (less than 15 min via eWallets), Guts (less than 2 hours most often via eWallets), Mr Green & Unibet (within 24 hours). Some online casinos enforce "pending time" where they hold your fund for a few days before releasing the. If an online casino wants my business they better offer either a no deposit bonus, or a withdrawal time of less than 48 hours max. That's the reason why providers like 888 and Europa Casino don't get to profit from my choices. They take way too long to process - 4 days? Are you guys kiddin me! 4) Bonuses - Last but not least I think bonuses can be very beneficial as well. Don't let yourself be fooled by high bonus percentages though if the wagering requirements are very high. I don't use bonuses too often, but I like if the wagering requirements are low (30x or lower), and that the casino rewards loyal players in form of freebies or free spins. Some online casinos do this better than others. 5) Terms & Conditions (transparency) - There is almost no industry where terms & conditions are a must-read like in the online casino industry. When playing at an online casino, you have to obey the rules. No multi-accounting or filing false information, these can lead to confiscation of funds. But some (dodgy) online casinos have made it an art to confuse players as much as possible by enforcing ridicolous terms & conditions to fleece people from their funds after a misstep. Terms & Conditions are especially important if you use a bonus, because using a bonus always has set rules. The most reliable online casinos have full transparency and clearly state what you CAN DO, and what you CANNOT DO. That's why it's always smart to only play at casinos that have a proven reputation or at least decent scores. The above mentioned steps are the guidelines I basically follow when choosing an online casino. I'm happy to say that I never had a problem cashing out somewhere, and always receiving my winnings on time.

Heelloo! And welcome! Oooh this is such a hard question I always say that because it is. I have a few I like to recommend in these situations...the reason why I recommend these ones are because they have simple bonus terms and simple wagering! I would try Paddy Power, Stan James, Mr Green...

Yes sorry about that, Wagering is set to 60x Bonus amount Max Cashout 2x Bonus amount

Wagering? I suppose 60x

Hi there! Yep, that's correct. And we have also lowered the wagering requirements for the standard welcome bonus of 100% up to €200 to just 20x bonus. Best Regards, Lucas

Well, like I said, many casinos thought same of Finns. When we were not restricted, we had often for example double-wagering for bonuses or bonuses not allowed etc. But now it is different.

Im I'm so glad your back...because I was always getting the blame for innuendoes!! Great thread by the way. I like any slot that wants to give me BIG wins ..but they seem to be few and far between lately....I do like the ones where I win little amounts more often because its great for wagering, and it keeps me interested in that slot. There is nothing I hate more than a boring slot! A slot with ... Men's things like cars, and cuff links, ties, etc .... (Not tools may I add because I am such a tool junkie I love tools) is booooring.....but if that slot wants to give me little wins on most of my spins...I can easily imagine those cuff links are earrings ....those ties are scarfs ...those cars are pink limousines etc etc etc!

Great question, great username ! Is the question easy to answer! Nooooo Its so hard to determine good bonuses from bad bonuses, I often even think are any bonuses bad?? They all give that all important bankroll a boost in the right direction ... But is what follows (the wagering) always a good thing? Who knows...oh god I'm useless ...answering a question with a question hahaha! Sorry... I would maybe try out a nice simple bonus 100% ... NetEnt.... £20 deposit..... 35 x wagering or less (on bonus only, not bonus and deposit )

I logged into my Casumo account today as I was going to deposit £10. I had 2p left in my balance which still had just over £250 bonus wagering from my last play here. I loaded starburst and put it right down to 1p - 2 lines, in order to use the bonus before depositing. The spin bought in all On the first two lines and some scattered....gave me a win of £1.20 due to only two lines being active....I went on to get this balance all the way up to £86!!! With the wagering left I ended up withdrawing £30!!!! I withdrew for the principle if it £30 for 2p...just goes to show you don't need to be a high roller to win money!

Hellooo! Haha, I know how my title may sound, but this question is about slots! To be more precise - about your winnings! Two days ago, I played some Novomatic slots (in non-AG-listed casino)! -------- dramatic pause----- waiting for ValDes' congrats for playing slots and his advices to choose some better software next time--------- And.. I am curious to hear from you, what do you prefer - Slots where you often have some winnings, for example every 2-3 spin, but small...or slots where it seems like eternity before any winnings, but when you win, it's some big piece (at least enough to cover up your previously wasted non-winning spins and turn you back on your previous balance)? I played Golden Sevens! Gosh, I almost pissed off how irritating it was! It spins, spins, spins, spins........and nothing, NOTHING!! Spins, spins, spins and then tadaaa, some cool, bigger win and I was there where I was before all these wasted spins, with the balance! I also found this slot very good for completing wagering requirements, exactly for that reason - you're always on beginning position and you're turning your money! What do you think and what do you prefer? (I'm so proud of opening another slot thread )

My first ever screenshot for this thread. Info: Received a special 400% deposit bonus offer from Casino Fiz's Manager, deposited $35, received $140 bonus, for a bankroll of $175 at 80x wagering (wr = $14,000). A few days down the road, made this big win playing Secret Garden - received 170 free spins that paid out $1003.50 at $5.00 total bet! Most of the spins were blanks...otherwise it would certainly have been a real whopper of a win! Today, made a withdrawal claim for $800!!! Woohoooo!

5. All of Pokies City's promotions or bonuses, winnings or deposits may only be cashed out after you have made at least one approved deposit and you have wagered at least 35 times (Unless stated otherwise) of each bonus received – for example you must wager 350AU$ before cashing out if you have received a bonus of 10AU$. Wagering on different games will contribute differently towards your wagering requirements. All games will contribute 100% of each wager towards your wagering requirements, except those shown in the table below: Wagering Contributions Game Category Game Contribution All versions of Roulette 0% All versions of Blackjack 10% Quick Play 0% Hi Lo Fever 0% Baccarat 0% 3 Card Poker 0% All versions of Video Poker 10% Netent Games 50% 6. Only winnings, which are received by playing with a bonus in games which contribute 100% to the wagering, are cashable.

Thanks for sharing this with us! Just to let you all know this casino is powered by NetEnt and Neo Games They have both a mobile casino and a desktop casino, it seems as though it is orientated towards Australian players so please check before depositing...,bonus wagering is 35 times.

Today we launch the highly anticipated Avalon II and with it a 50% CASHBACK and the beginning of our month long wagering competition with prizes for the top 10 players Good luck!

For all that need to learn the correct strategy to play for winning a game or cut down the looses: There is a site on the web named "Wizard Of Odds", that teaches the basic and advanced strategy for about any table and card game found in casinos. The easiest games to play and win from time to time are "3 Cards Poker" and "BlackJack". For "3 cards poker" the strategy is very simple and straightforward: you fold when you have a card lower than Q64, and bet when your hand is higher or equal to Q64. Playing this way I have won 2 times in 2 microgaming casinos where the wagering requirements can be met also at table games. I remember one time I have won over 100 Euro from a small no deposit bonus playing this way.

Hmm, it's not that easy to point out the best casinos. You know, it depends on so many details - cashout times, pending periods, software, per cent of welcome offer, wagering requirements and so on and so on... Send me a PM with more details and will try to assist you accordingly.

I agree with you mate! It's definitely worthwhile being a regular at only a few casinos, concentrating the deposits rather than spreading them all over various casinos. Loyalty bonuses can be real goodies nowadays, especially when they are the no-wagering kind, with lovely deposit bonuses to match (100%, 150% and more at times). I would love to try out all these great games like Immortal Romance, Dead Or Alive, and what-have-yous, but I have yet to return to other software casinos, like Microgaming for example. No reason for me to do that, just yet.
