Some players like the challenge of beating the wagering requirements and gives them more playtime.

I have much of the same kind of gameplay. But if my balance reaches £100+ I am willing to raise my bet up to £1 depending on the game, the amount of wagering I have left and how lucky or unlucky I feel on the day. If I'm trying to finish a wager and I have a healthy balance I will raise my bet if possible but if I don't have a wager and am planning on cashing out I probably won't increase my bet as I'd be afraid to lose it.

I've always been a fan of Starburst and it is still the game I turn to one my balance reaches under £5. It's got me from a low balance to a big balance many times and is fantastic for wagering I think. I don't think we will ever forget Guru's story! Here it is - From 0.01 to 900.01 OR How Guru met Lady Luck again!

Streamers are in a world of their own, with 100% bonuses daily multiple times. deposits of 3k or 4K or more per day. and bets as high as 50e a spin. in addition to all this they have people donating to them, and affiliate incomes from the losses of players that sign up to sites via streamers links. They don't play under the same rules of normal players, streamers can bet much higher per spin than a normal player would be allowed to during bonus wagering. When people see streamers get the big wins they imagine winning that much and when they see streamers lose a lot they breathe a sigh of relief that it wasn't them losing but the streamer (who can easily afford it).

losing is never fun is it tho, as far as playing while tired or under stress that's definitely not recommended as decision errors will happen, as for while drunk that's also not good for most people but there are some rare cases where people play better poker cause it helps them to loosen up but surely those would be rare cases as most people would just play overly aggressive. You mentioned earlier than you had a loss of 400e while doing minimum bets, did you consider raising bets at any point (this increasing of bet size while losing to try win on a higher bet is commonly seen among the slot streamers they chase the big hit after started on 2e they may go to 5e 10e 20e), what's been your highest slot spin bet size?. (mine got a bit out of control when I started doing 4e/8e/12e bets in Oct and Nov) not recommended when you are having a losing session, while some say that it's good to raise bets when you are having a lucky winning session cause your luck will just continue to hit on bigger bets too or so they say for some chosen players. But when you get used to those bet sizes then you won't be interested in lower bets so much and that's how some people get hooked on doing 100e/£ or 200e/£ bets a spin which mostly results in cleaning out their bank accounts cause playing slots is -EV thus even a slot of 96% RTP, you put 1,000,000 wagering through it will mean you will be around 40K down at end of it and 1million wagering is 10,000 spins at 100/spin or just 5,000 spins at 200/spin. that can be quickly done. and that's if you are lucky enough to get 96% RTP but you can easily be down less than 90% RTP or worse.

Hey guys, So Black Friday is at the end of this week thought we could use this thread to share any bonuses you may have that others could use. Or tell us about any freebies that you get over the next few days! It's meant to be the day we can all grab a bargain somewhere or another so let's see how good casinos are this year! I'll kick it off with this one I see today with decent wagering - Wager This Black Friday Bonus Just 17x at King Billy Casino

You weren't in the right state of mind, cause of tilt good that you made some withdrawals that's sensible. reversing withdrawals is something players talk about and most of the time it leads to losses. I've only ever done it once and lost it. That was after finishing bonus wagering.

No offence to Conor but...no. Be wary of the bonus terms now - max bet 15% of bonus amount thrown in as well. What happened to good old 5 quid? Bonanza 50% wagering contribution as well as others the length of your arm. Looks like an AG Clone. Ugh. I know Conors said things will be looked at in the new year but i'm afraid guys that you'll have lost a lot of your previous customers before then

I always thought you couldn't use bonus money for tourneys. Some message would pop up saying thing about it. But if I had a bonus any amount above the bonus would be able to be used for tourneys (such as those all day one shots) and once you dip into the bonus you couldn't. So if you were able to register then you could get a win in the tourney. Then in theory before the prize was paid you would bust out the bonus and then the cash prize would be paid without any more wagering to do.

Hey folks, To make things easier on all of us, here is a copy of our answers posted today about various questions on another forum. @pinnit2015 Regarding promotions, we will have a say, and can create and design our own to run whenever we like Game RTPs? Our games RTPs will be operated in the same manner the rest of the Aspire Groups are immediately after launch, however, Aspire have agreed to allow RTPs to be customised by brand instead of one network setting in 2020. So the lower RTP on some games will be a short term concern. Fees On Deposits & Withdrawals? There will be no fees on deposits and withdrawals. Thursday Treat? Thursday Treat will be replaced with Sunday Spins and will work quite similarly to our current Thursday Treat promotion. LiveChat Support? In order to operate in more languages, and for longer periods of time, our LiveChat Support will be operated by Aspire. Wagering Requirements? Our wagering requirements will be between 20x - 25x on all bonuses depending on the promotion. This is a decision made on our part to offset the game contributions and RTPs of some of the games. Games Contributions? As the contributions of the games are set across all casinos in the Aspire back office, we will not be able to differ from the rest of the Aspire Group in this regard. Withdrawal Times? Withdrawal times will be as they are across the Aspire Group, however, we have been assured that the 48-hour time frame is the absolute maximum (KYC and Document checks etc) and that the vast majority of withdrawals are processed within less than a day. Please note, VIP players will have express withdrawals which operate much faster, and Aspire are already working towards decreasing our withdrawal times. Why Are We Moving? As confirmed in a previous post, we are moving as our platform provider currently (Pariplay), had been bought over by Aspire Global. Did You Get Bought By Aspire? No, TradaCasino is still owned entirely by TradaGames. One Welcome Bonus Per Site? This is done on a case-by-case basis and is primarily applied for the “serial” First Time Depositors. i.e, those who rarely/never make cash deposits on the Aspire platform. Games Selection? Some games are not live on most Aspire Global sites for various reasons, however, we will have all games live a couple of weeks after launch. If anyone has any other questions, feel free to drop me a PM Conor

I was wondering has anyone else experienced the same as below with casumo I write this honest review of casumo based on facts and figures and in order to save others losing their hard earned money. I am a member of about 7 online casinos, I play the same game on them all, planet of the apes so this honest review is based on comparisons and instinct. First off casumo is one of the casinos that spends a fortune on TV advertising, they have so many ads on TV and they sponsor some shows and movies on TV. This is not cheap and their not paying for it out of their own pockets, it’s your money paying for these adds. I used to play the game ruby slippers on casumo about a year ago when I first joined it as I played it on other casinos and won but also lost but always got some value for money on other sites. Within a couple of weeks of playing ruby slippers on casumo I began to notice that it didn’t seem to play the same as on other sites. The features were few and far between, you could deposit up to £100 and not see one feature. I also notice after about £500 that it would give me some wins, maybe bring my balance up to around £60 to £90 but then the wins would stop. It was almost I felt instinctively that the computer knew that after lodging 500 I was hardly going to withdraw £90. It’s like they know how much to give you in wins knowing you won’t withdraw it cause you have spent so much. I put it down to bad luck having lost about £1000. I stopped playing casumo last year. About January this year I started playing casumo again, ruby slippers still played the same so I stopped playing and played planet of the apes. I’d had much luck, enjoyment and value for money playing planet of the apes on other casinos. However on casumo it played the same as ruby slippers did, infrequent features, low wins and £20 deposit would be gone in 10 mins. I bet low too. 20p or 40p a spin but casumo version of games just don’t play right. Between January 2018 and June 2018 I have deposited £3,500 in total on casumo and I have withdrawn only 3 amounts of £80 totaling £240, I’m down £3,300. Again I noticed it would bring your winnings to around £100 if your lucky but they know your not going to withdraw £100 when your thousands down. Another point on casumo is that they offer various bonuses and free spins and when your in bonus money funds that have wagering requirements to be met and you can’t withdraw the game seems to play normal, the wins come. Just last week they had a 50% bonus, I lodged £15 got £7.50 bonus I played the £15 down quickly no decent win and as soon as I got into the bonus money the wins came. This is not an isolated incident every time your in bonus funds it’s as if they have a computer programme running that allots you wins. I managed to get my winnings up to £200 in bonus funds however it was all gone just as I was close to meeting their wagering requirements. Any attempt to discuss how poorly the games play with their customer service and it’s like they read from a script no matter what employee you get they give you the standard reply “it’s random”. In order that you understand my comparison I joined FruityCasa casino this week deposited £20 got 150% bonus played planet of the apes and before I even reached bonus funds I got my balance up to £110 £30 of it was bonus so I forgo the bonus and withdrew £80 playing planet of the apes. I joined irishspins.com lodged £10 got %200 bonus and 50 free spins and withdrew £180 before using bonus funds playing planet of the apes. I joined thesunplay.co.uk £10 deposit 100% bonus and 50 free spins and before using bonus funds withdrew £70 all playing planet of the apes and yet with casumo I get nothing, there’s definitely something up with casumo, in this day and age we all know how a computer whiz kid can do things or how computer programmers can develop software that’s not beneficial to the end user. My facts figures and examples speak for them self. I’d advise you all before joining casumo know that this user who is experienced in casinos is advising you that playing on casumo will lead to losses. Total deposit £3500 withdrawals £240 and these could be your losses if you join and play casumo. Thanks for reading.

Tell me about it - I remember how their bonus terms use to catch me time again over and over... like the progress bar does not move at all. Seriously annoying that all their slots contribute 50% towards wagering... Utter bull..

No idea... But remember when I complaint about trada providers running of the QuickFire Platform and I am restricted to most of their slots, Conor actually mentioned new platform and news will be shared in the up coming days, then 1 day later I received this. Did a bit of research and find out they moving to Aspire Global International Limited - Now they games will obviously be more, but in terms of payment, Trada pay instantly or within 6 hours maximum! So will they still follow according to how they process withdrawals first of all, will they have max bet in place like 2nd chance feature etc? Wagering? x70? Since most of the of the slot contribution is 50% unless you play that banana provider - Neogames like Fruity Friends or something? @Conor@Trada can maybe jump in here?

I was never a fan of Videoslots deposit bonuses. I remember claiming a bonus once, when I lost all my funds, the bonus was still active, but I did not know that and made a straight clean deposit of $100, had a nice x500 hit on $1 and wanted to withdraw, Until I saw I have a bonus active, if I withdraw it will cancel all my winnings. My thing is I release the bonus increments, surely if I released $10 after x amount of wagering, that means I rightfully own that money and should I cancel the bonus, then I should keep the money because I already wagered the required amount to release that small portion. The FS wagering when it used to be 500 euro as qualifying criteria in past 7 days was still okay and you could benefit at least. I only experienced twice where I had to wait a few hours for the the withdrawal, and they told me the staff are not in the office to process the payment, I was like WTF, any time of the day I would get it in 5 minutes or less. Are we seeing another SlotsMillion here?

My experience is that they're more inconsistent now - though i do see some people claim they still get paid in that timeframe, my experience isn't like that. Eg. Request a w/d at 1am, it's not being done for me until 8/9 (no biggie cos I'm sleeping) The wagering for those FS is a bit mad. Suppose it depends what you like - I'd rather have a 50/100% depo bonus once a week than the chance to win 5FS.

Yes if you could bet it all when taking a bonus you would just double your bonus a couple times with big bets on roulette or blackjack or even on slots but better with table games and then once you have a big balance you can lower your bet to minimum and finish your wagering that way.

Sick terms, I dont mind to Depo 10 and play with 210 and x150 wagering, but common max bet of 0.75, I hope DOA 2 is not in the restricted Game list, because I will give DOA2 a chance to clear wager once I get a decent wild line, I mean we have seen people win 20k on 0.45 bet, Ill play 5000 spins on auto spins lol, I hope they do not have the Betfair term either... And most probably MAX cashout.... I believe people are complaining they not getting their money in terms of withdrawal.

They must have the following - Quick Withdrawals few hours or less - Verification immediately after registration and no longer than a few hours to be completed. - Wagering below x40 on bonus amount only should i decide to claim bonus - Push Gaming and any other provider really. Push Gaming is a necessity - License MGA and above however ill take Curucao but only from Direx NV

This topic has been around several times before this...but never mind...here I go again... ? Bearing in mind that I have signed up and played at many hundreds of casinos...and closed my accounts at just as many casinos as well...nowadays, what catches my first interest to sign up is no longer the same as before. #1 Deposit Bonus % PLUS Free Spins - must be 150% AND 100 Free Spins at least...otherwise, I won't be interested. #2 MUST HAVE my few favourite games (not many left nowadays) - 1st on my list is Supe It Up (Microgaming)...not on the list and no go for me! #3 Wagering Turnover requirement - anything above 30x deposit + bonus is a no-no for me...most of the time though. #4 If the casino doesn't belong to Direx NV, N1 Interactive or Joc Solutions...I would skip them, unless they have all the 3 items as listed above. #5 UKGC licensed casinos are no-go for me, so I only accept casinos having Malta and Curacao Licenses. #6 Every other reasons are not that important to me, but withdrawal times must not be more than 2 days! Importance in the above order! ?

Hi and welcome to the forum., great first question. For me - Games and Providers Wagering requirements Minimum withdrawal amounts Live chat hours - I like to test live chat before I play. Crap support will usually mean I won't play.

Pretty much. Last one was depo 10 play with 210... that’s the one I tried for a laugh and funnily enough at one point the wagering was nearly on. Got up to 17k with it running in background over 3 days... 150x wagering as well. So, alright for a punt as a one off but mental terms

So to recall this Thread Room has decreased their wagering requirements it went from x75 to x35 the BONUS amount only... Which is really good IMHO And the Bonus Games which was about 40 Netent slots before are now games from the following providers. Play n Go NextGen Elk Netent Betsoft THunderkick.

I agree with all of you guys to some extend. You just cannot help to shake that feeling that something is up or not right. I always clear wager on freebies at places that take 2 - 5 days to play, but can never clear wager on freebies from Direx NV or any other casino would can cash out immediately etc LOL. Anyways I was merely stating how I kind of experiencing it, and you know once something got to you, it can kinda convince you otherwise from what you know is right. Well at the end of the day ''Its a GAMBLE'' I suppose. Look at a while Back when @ValDes cleared wager and got a huge hit on Garga just before wager and ended with over $1000 in balance, he eventually continued playing building up loyalty to cash out or benefit for from the freebie. - My point is 1 - Its very frustrating knowing you have a give up a huge portion of that balance or lose it for that matter, 2 - With wagering being so high these days - they can seriously imposed bigger cashout limits on freebies or nothing at all like redbet and casumo have no max cashout on their freebies. Anyways...

Agree....heard this from others before and don't buy into it. Take my x5 and x10 wagering bonus from Redbet recently - couldn't even clear the wagering on the x5 on bonus funds. Plus, if that was the case I'd be clearing wagering often with each welcome bonus, which i can assure you, I don't. Also, from the casino's perspective, it would make little or no sense to annoy 70% of their revenue stream: high rollers. Unless they get greedy. And by greedy I mean willing to see themselves charged with fraud. You'd need casino/supplier collusion for the bulk of it though there are some casinos (3 Dice i think) who make their own..... Nothing's ever impossible but I'd dare say improbable (and that's being generous :-p) It's the same gamblers fallacy that some people refer to when they say 'since i won I've never won since' Maybe we'll eat the proverbial hat when some reporter spills the beans on the whole racket but until then...;-) Same time, best keep an open mind to how far people in a multi-billion industry will go for a share of the pie....

If you ask me mate, I'd say that playing with active bonus has always been NOT THE SAME as when playing with no bonus attached. I can't prove it but I have had thousands of plays on the same few fav games and it's never the same when there's no bonus attached - it's always damn blardy hard to win! All I can say is, the slots are 'looser' when playing with wagering attached...until about 80% wagering completed...then the slots gradually tightens again! ?
