Personal Bankroll Blog
I thought i would blog my personal expereince at casino bonuses to help me keep track and let others gain from my experience. I started out with $200USD on October 11th 2006, and this is how i went:
Plum Gaming Casino - details
Bankroll change: +120€
24 January 2008
Plum Gaming Casino is new on the scene and is offering an attractive cashable bonus of 50% up to 100€ with most games allowed including blackjack and a 25 times the bonus and deposit wagering requirement. So I deposit 200€ and once moved the funds into the casino account was instantly credited with the bonus 100€ giving me a total of 300€ to play with... Now I was pleasantly surprised to see the NetEnt software which is one of my favourites (same as Betsson software) I played 2x5€ blackjack hands and was on an incredible streak to start and topped out at 730€! Here is a screen shot of the luck I was having:
But after the advice of Zuga (forum admin) to drop my bets and grind I decided not to as I still had a fair amount of the 7500€ wagering requirement to go so I continued at 2x5€ bets. Now this is where my luck turned and I ended up finishing the WR on 320€ giving a very respectable profit of 120€ but nothing close to my highest peak. cash out took about 2 days to hit my MoneyBookers account.
LuckyAce Casino - details
Bankroll change: +$205
22 January 2008
LuckyAce Casino, is a clone of Casino On Net (888) and so is the bonus which is a great thing. The bonus is a cashable 100% up to $200 with a low wagering requirement of 20 times the bonus, all games allowed except for craps and roulette. Tthe terms also state that if you deposit via Neteller you have to wager the bonus 50 times instead of the standard 20 so I contacted live support to ask weather MoneyBookers had the same restriction.
Me: does Moneybookers deposit still get the sign up bonus?
Jonathan: Yes you will be entitled to the First Deposit bonus with any deposit method, as long as has not been used on another account.
Me: cool, does it get the 50 times bonus restriction like Neteller?
Jonathan: No 20x wagering
Me: cheers.... thanks for your help mate
So I deposited $200 via MB and because it was late I decided to gamble a bit and played through at 2x$10 classic blackjack. I hit a high of $630 and a low of $230 but finished on $405 and then requested a withdrawal giving me a $205 profit. I was then contacted and asked for documentation and I will update once that’s all cleared and the money hits my account.
7 February 2008
Warning: Lucky Ace first requested the documents be resent due to a technical error.... then they accused me of being a bonus abuser and closed my account stripped my winnings and refunded my deposit. I was playing $10 hands of Blackjack which is hardly bonus abuse. And if I had lost the deposit I am sure they would not have refunded my deposit, this is pretty much stealing....
Enter Casino - details
This ones from Zuga our resident forum moderator Bankroll change: +$195
19 December 2007
Made $75 deposit using MB, and received 200% sign up bonus, instead of 100%. Bankroll $225. Contacted live chat, they confirmed that the WR is 12X B+D, in all $2700 to wager. I played $25 a hand( single player BJ). After wagering half of WR I was up to $500. As I was approaching the WR, I started minimizing my bets, at $10, $5, and eventually started grinding $1 a hand. By the time i cleared WR I was around $470.
Day 2: So feeling quite happy, I decided to play more ( as cover play), played even some slots, Jacks or better, and soon I wagered over $3800. Than I decided to contact live chat to once more confirm WR, and they told me again that wr is 12xd+b, so being way over WR i decied to withdraw. By that time I lost $50, so my bankroll was at $420, which meant I could withdraw $270. I submitted the request, and the withdrawal was pending.
Day 3: That friday morning i received email from enter casino CS, they cancelled my withdrawal,saying i didn’t meet WR, and that I still have to wage some $1750 or so! and that the WR is 25x B+D instead of 12! I was badly surprised, so I sent them a response, saying that I got the different info from their live chat , and I submitted the screen shot of that chat as a proof.
At my GREAT pleasure, they validate my claims, and allowed me to withdraw. So 4 days later I got $270 to my MB, which means nice $195 profit.
City Club Casino - details
Bankroll change: -$200
27 September 2007
City Club Casino offers a good blackjack bonus of 50% up to $100 with a wagering requirement of 20 times the bonus and deposit (20x$300) totalling $6000. One thing you must do before you deposit is have a quick chat to live support and ask for the “card games” bonus as they have several different bonuses for different casino games.
I always enjoy the Playtech Blackjack software as it’s easy and fast to play, but at City Club I had no luck at all, I only managed to wager $1687 before busting. I stuck to the blackjack chart and 2x$5 bets. I have been having great luck this month on most casino games so I was due for some bad. Here is a screen shot of the type of hand I lost over and over. -$200
Blackjack Heaven Casino - details
Bankroll change: +$207.50
12 September 2007
Blackjack Heaven offers a good bonus of 100% up to $50 with pretty much all games allowed. The wagering is also comparatively low at 25 times the bonus and deposit being $2625 total. I signed up and instantly had a free $5 in my account for a no deposit slots promotion. I deposited $50 via the Web Dollar banking facility Blackjack Heaven uses and instantly had another $50 in my bonus account.
Started out playing blackjack at 2x$3 hands, make sure you turn on the turbo and turn off sound to maximise the speed of the software. I had an up and down run here, sitting at around $150 for the first $1000 worth of wagering then below $50 for another $750 worth... But the last $1000 worth of wagering is where I streaked up to finish at $257.50 giving me a profit of $207.50! Easy to check when you have completed the requirements as your balance moves from bonus to account as shown in the screen shot below.
Mummy's Gold Casino - details
Also from a European member. Bankroll change: -€50
26 June 2007
Deposited 50€ and played the free hour with the given 500€ did 100 bets on blackjack, afterwards moved to Roullete and set my bets on all odd numbered. Well didn't get there the bonus, because the free play hour ended and I was below 520€. Wanted to play there some 1 buck hands for fun and then it happend, I accidently hit the 50€ chip and without looking at the monitor hit the deal button... and lost. Damn.
Spin Palace Casino BJ - details
This ones from a European member. Bankroll change: +$185
25 June 2007
Played the free hour with the given $1000 did 100 bets on blackjack, afterwards moved to Roulette and set my bets on all odd numbered. Ended up there at $1105 and got the $100 bonus. I deposited $100 and the bonus was put on my casino account as well. Played there some risky hands and stopped playing at reaching 385$.
I didn't play the full wager requirement because I already won 185$. So I forgot about the bonus (wagering requirement b&d x20) and withdrew to my MoneyBookers.
Landbrokes BJ experience - details
Bankroll change: +£115
16 June 2007
The reason I hadn't taken Ladbrokes up on its great welcome bonus is that they currently don't let Aussies play (update: Australians now welcome), so I asked a mate from Austria to have a go, now this was his first casino whoring experience and I talked him through the doubts he had, here is what he had to say:
I signed up at Ladbrokes Casino to play for the up to £50 Bonus and found out that they had a special offer for June/07 where they give you a 100% sign up bonus up to £100. The bonus is cashable after wagering 4 times the deposit. So I deposited £100 and started playing BJ with 5 bucks hands.
I played 30 minutes and reached the wagering amount of £400 (4xD) and ended up at 125.5 After that I sent them a request to get the bonus and played accidently a 10 pound hand which I lost. Now I am waiting for the bonus which has to be added within 48 hours.
Now 40 hours after asking for the bonus I got the £100 bonus and cashed out.
Desert Dollar Casino - details
Bankroll change: -$60
20 May 2007
After my success at the last 2 MicroGaming Casinos I decided to give Desert Dollar a run and deposited $60 to claim the 150% of $90 giving me a total of $150. Again like at Vegas Palms I went straight to Blackjack and started wagering $30 a hand, I was in a very positive mind set after winning the first 3 hands giving me a total of $240 but that's when things turned grey and I lost the next 6 hands straight then managed to sit around $60 for 5 or six hands before busting out. -$60.
Vegas Palms Casino - details
Bankroll change: +$250
19 May 2007
Vegas Palms offer US players a 400% bonus but since I am in Australia I was able to claim a 200% of $100 from a $50 deposit giving me $150 to play with. I went straight into Atlantic City Blackjack wagering 1 hand of $30 and after wagering around $500 I managed to hit my goal of $350, giving me a cashable balance of $250 and a bonus balance of $100. I then decided to hit the American Roulette to see if I could clear some of the bonus because it counts towards 75% on the dollar wagered.
The Clearplay bonus system which all the MicroGaming casinos use clears $10 of bonus after every $300 wagered and after wagering $1200 (1200x.75 = 900) on American Roulette I had cleared $30 of the bonus and had a total balance of $370. An easy way to see your account status is to click on the bank button then withdraw, the next screen details how much you can withdraw and how close you are to clearing the next $10, here is what mine looked like before cashing out $300 for a +$250 profit.
Your Balance Summary:
Cash Balance : (USD) 300.00
+ Bonus Balance : (USD) 70.00
= Total Balance : (USD) 370.00
Your Cash Balance available for withdrawal is: (USD) 300.00
• Your BONUS BALANCE may not be withdrawn.
• As you meet the playthrough requirements, credits will automatically be transferred from your BONUS BALANCE to your CASH BALANCE.
Current Playthrough Achieved: (USD) 3.50
River Belle Casino - details
Bankroll change: +$400
16 May 2007
River Belle Casino has a new promotion where you spin a bonus wheel and get a bonus of 50, 100, 150 or 200 that is credited after a deposit of $50. Don’t worry if you don’t hit 200 of the 3 spins that you get I didn’t and just reloaded the page and tried again. Once you hit the 200 bonus download the software and register a new account make sure you click on the claim button and then deposit at least $50, the bonus $200 will then be credited to your account within 24 hours.
So after that I had $250 in my account ($50 cashable, $200 bonus). I proceeded to play blackjack at $50 a hand and managed to make it to $425 ($225 cashable, $200 bonus) after a scare almost busting out on my last $50. Blackjack really doesn’t do much to clear the bonus at River Belle Casino only counted at 10% on the dollar so I decided to give European Roulette a go at it clears at 67%.
The good thing about the River Belle bonus system is that after every $300 wagered $10 is cleared and moved from bonus to cashable. I had good luck at Roulette and managed to hit a fair few even money bets and one 36 to 1 and win another $205 giving me a total of $630 ($450 cashable, $180 bonus). I then decided to cut and run giving me a total of a very handsome $400 profit.
Imperial Casino - details
Bankroll change: -$100
30 April 2007
Now this 100% up to $200 bonus is very interesting, it's a non cashable bonus with a comparably good wagering requirement (15 times bonus & deposit) but has several advantages. The first advantage is that once the wagering requirements have been cleared the bonus stays even after you withdraw. The second is that at any time you drop below the bonus amount anything you win back is counted as cashable, so you could drop to $50 make it back to $400 and then withdraw $350. I had great luck then very poor, with a high of $600 and a low of $300 when I cashed out $100 leaving me with $200 to play with. My luck did not change and even though I had several chances to withdraw $50 or so I didn’t and lost the lot playing low limited blackjack.
All Jackpots - details
Bankroll change: -$50
28 April 2007
All Jackpots, these guys offer a huge 400% bonus and played properly can give a great return. I played this bonus like a sticky bonus even though it is cashable it has very large clearing requirements for my game of choice blackjack but is very doable if you prefer Roulette with only 30 times the bonus play through. Here is how I went, I deposited $50 and was granted the 400% bonus after 2 hours. My plan was to double what I had to make a total of $500 of which $200 would be bonus money and not cashable, $300 would be, leaving me with $250 profit. I played blackjack with a large bet of $125 and managed to win the first hand, this is when I hit a serious down turn of luck and the dealer managed to get 2 blackjacks and a 3 card 21 against my 20 on the last hand. Things did not turn out as planed but the offer is really too good to miss with almost even odds that you will lose $50 or gain $250.
BetDirect Casino - details
Bankroll change: +£210
27 April 2007
BetDirect offer a generous 100% up to £100 with a decent play through of 50 times bonus and blackjack is allowed. Now a great thing about this casino is that they have Autoplay! Autoplay is a great tool that plays for you and it plays the ods. So all I needed to do was deposit £100 go to blackjack, speed up the game in options, click expert then autoplay and select 500 hands, I did this ten times and had completed the bonus. The smallest bet is £2 so it’s possible to have bad luck and bust out but I did great with a low of £29 and finished on £210. I had to email support about the bonus and within an hour an extra £100 was deposited into my account giving me a clear £210 profit. They also processed my cashout within mintues, the money was back in Neteller before I could log into Neteller.
Europa Casino - details
Bankroll change: -$100
21 Mar 2007
Europa Casino has a sign up and monthly bonus of 100% up to $100 non cashable making it a possible $2400 worth of bonus over a 12 month period. Normally is only 8 times the bonus and deposit before you can withdraw but if blackjack is played its 24 times. On my deposit of $100 I had to make $4800 worth of wagers. My greed got the better of me on this one as my plan was to grind and reduce my betting once I hit $400 but I didn’t after hitting a high of $425 hoping to win more. So after $3900 worth of wagering I busted out. Great Playtech software and a good bonus which ill have a go at again next month.
50 Stars Casino - details
Bankroll change: -$100
13 Mar 2007
This casino offered another non cashable blackjack but you can deposit and match up to $200. I decided to use my tired and true $100 deposit but there is no reason you couldn’t deposit $200 and just double all your bets. Started playing one $10 and had poor luck to start and was down to $120, then pushed the bet to $25 and managed to claw my way back to $260 only to lose it just as fast, busting out after only $920 worth of wagering.
Casino King - details
Bankroll change: +$252
12 Mar 2007
Another great run at yet another non cashable blackjack bonus, depositing $100 and coming out with $352. I did manage to make it to $550 playing just one $10 hand and then switched to 3x$5 to try and remain steady but that’s when my luck changed and I dropped to $400 so I then changed back to one $10 hand and managed to complete the very small wagering requirements of $2400 and clear a profit of $252.
Enter Casino - details
Bankroll change: -$100
10 Mar 2007
Enter Casino offer a non cashable blackjack bonus of 100% up to $100 and the low play through requirement of 12 time bonus and deposit being $2400 for a $100 bonus. I managed to complete the wagering requirements here but did not make it very far over the starting $200. So with I then decided to bet large to try and double my balance or bust, being either a $200 profit or a $100 lose. Unfortunately for me I had no luck and the dealer even pulled a blackjack on my $100 bet.
Casino Las Vegas - details
Bankroll change: +$205
7 Mar 2007
Another non cashable blackjack bonus, I really enjoy these as they are a lot faster than the cashable blackjack bonus due to the different strategy involved and the betting is more exciting due to it being larger. Casino Las Vegas offer 100% up to $100 with a very low wagering requirement of 12 time bonus and deposit working out to be $2400. I started out this one the same as Kiwi Casino with 2 time $10 blackjack bets and had a bad turn to start, going down to $120. This is where my bad luck ends and even before the $1000 wagering had passed I was on $350 and this is when I decided to decrease my betting so I could ensure a win. After 2 x $5 betting for the remainder of the wagering requirements I managed to be ahead $205 at $405 total. :)
Kiwi Casino - details
Bankroll change: +$150
6 Mar 2007
These guys offer a pretty easy non cashable bonus at 100% up to $100, so being non cashable my plan was fairly aggressive blackjack betting to try and get a good $100 or more up but not too aggressive that I would get there too fast without making a good dent in the wagering requirements of $3,000. So I decided on 2 x $10 bets and stayed pretty close to the mark after $1,500 wagers, then I ran into some great doubles opportunities and hit 70% of them ending up with $350 after $3110 wagers.
River Nile Casino - details
Bankroll change: +£218
24 Feb 2007
River Nile Casino is offering a great $/£/€1000 free play offer, so how this works is that you register to the casino and select the free play offer on the main casino floor screen. You are then given $1000 to make up to $1200 in at least 100 bets and 10 times the bonus play though (10,000) in one hour. You can go higher than $1200 but you can only move $200 into you casino account so there is no real point.
Ok so I selected pounds (don’t select pounds unless in the UK as I had a few dramas to sort this out but they did let me use them in the end) and made it to £1,380 in the free play and so was able to transfer £200 into my casino account once I deposited £40. So with a balance of £240 and a play through requirement of £6,000 for American Roulette I started play.
Black Red, Odds Evens and 1-18-19-36 bets is what I focused on to try and work away at the £6,000. Now the great thing about this bonus is that you can cash out at any time and the bonus is released in £10 increments after every £300 wagered. So you could try to double you balance early and cash out your winnings and this is sort of what I did. I made $3600 in wagers and released £120 of the bonus while having a total balance of £338 enabling me to withdraw £258 (338 – 80) giving me a clean profit of £218.
Magicbox Casino - details
Bankroll change: -$115
18 Feb 2007
After the success of my first non-cashable blackjack bonus I decided to give Magicbox Casino a go as they offer pretty much the same bonus. I deposited $115 and received $115 in bonus to play with giving me a total of $230. Things just did not go my way at all on this one and I never hit over $230, my goal being to hit $400 and then grind the rest out with low bets. I managed to wager around $1500 before busting out on 3x$10 hands of multi-hand blackjack. I must say these non cashable blackjack bonuses are enjoyable to try as the betting is a lot larger and they are very quick to complete, won’t be the last one I try.
Acopolis Casino - details
Bankroll change: +£100
16 Feb 2007
This is the first non cashable blackjack bonus I have tried, and from the outset I had a plan to wager high try and triple my money or bust. I used pounds to get the most of the bonus and deposited £100 and they matched it with a non cashable £100 plus a 10% Neteller bonus. So starting with £210 I played 3 x $10 hands and was on to a great start and quickly got to £356 with my goal to get to £400 and then slow down and try to grind my way to the very low wagering requirements of 12 x bonus and deposit.
Thing then took a turn for the worse and I was tinkering on the edge of the abyss but after a few busts from the dealer I managed to get to £300 well clear of the requirements with over £5000 in wagering. Cashed out £200 and forfeited the £100 non cashable bonus.
bwin Casino - details
Bankroll change: +$204.50€
15 Feb 2007
bwin offer a 50% bonus up to 100€ with a waging requirement of 20 time bonus and deposit. So I deposit 200€ to maximize the bonus and started with 300€ in my account. I broke some of my own casino whoring rules on this one because I just wasn’t in a patient mood, but lady luck was on my side and after play 2x10€ hands I completed the required 6000euro WR and cashed out 404.50€ which makes a nice profit of 204.50€s.
Vegas Towers Casino - details
Bankroll change: +£125
9 Feb 2007
This new Vegas Towers bonus is one not to miss, being in Australia I selected Pounds to get the most out of the bonus. I deposited £50 and then filled out a little form with my account number and bonus code "VT50", the form is automated so my balance was credited instantly with another £50 giving me a total of £100. I played blackjack and was very lucky betting £25 pound hands and winning 4 in a row with 1 double giving me a total balance of £225. I then proceeded to withdraw £175 with the bonus £50 being non cashable.

30 Jan 2007
This bonus looked great so I jumped straight in and deposited £100, I did not see the bonus credited but thought it might take a few minutes so started to bet away, after about £500 of blackjack wagers I thought I better investigate my bonus. Turns out I was not supposed to be able to deposit in pounds if not in the UK, so I did not qualify for the bonus. Was informed I had to withdraw the balance and open another account and deposit in AU dollars to receive the bonus.
After this mix up I was back on track after depositing $240AU and having $480AU to play with. Had no real worries playing $5 hands and stayed close if not over my starting point. Ended up on $550AU after completing the wagering requirements and cashed out. Note. Neteller does not do transactions in AU dollars I used credit card for this one.
American Grand Casino - details
No Aussies. Bankroll change: +$425 For Scotts ever growing bankroll.
28 Jan 2007
Due to this casino not allowing Australian players I asked one of our members (Scott M) to give it a try :)
I deposited $300 at this casino, bit of a shame i couldn't do it in £ but oh well :(
Immediately got my $300 match bonus so having a $600 bank roll i set to work straight away playing $5 a hand. During the first $1000 of wagering i went on a nasty downswing and hit a low of $430, clawed my way back to $460 and called it a night around the $3000 wager mark.
The next day i went at it again playing $5 a hand and for another $2000 of wagering i remained steady on a BR of $430-460. I started getting a bit bored so decided to play 2 hands at a time, this being the most hands you can play :( and almost immediately i hit a big winstreak getting right back up to $572.50 with $6805 wagered. I decided to call it a night and got some sleep ready to finish off the next day.
Today i resumed where i left off, playing $5 a hand 2 handed and my win streak seemed to pick up from where i left it :) threw in the odd high bet and cleared the wagering requirement of $8400 on a BR of $725 :) It seems i went over the wagering requirement as well as i had accumulated enough points to redeem $8 which i doubled and then lost :P
Bankroll Change +$425 :)

Grabbed and installed the software, used the code ANYWG, then deposited $50 and started with $100 in my balance. The play through is displayed under your balance in the cashier and was only on the bonus ($1,500) not like the terms stated.
The minimum blackjack hand is $5. I Had a great run and by the time I hit $2000 wagered I had a whooping $300. The cashier said I could withdraw so I requested, will let you know if it clears. Here’s a screenshot of a crazy hand I was dealt
17 Jan 2007
They sent withdrawal request back to my balance and let me know I had to wager another $1450, so I did :) and won a further $50... Sent the withdrawal request back with a stunning profit of $300 from just a $50 deposit, I wish it was like this every time.
Sports Fanatik Casino - details
Great for those in the US .Bankroll change: +$50.50
6 Jan 2007
Downloaded the light version, registered and deposited $50 via Neteller and was given an extra 10% bonus of $5 straight away. Started playing blackjack on the software and after betting $15 I stopped to wait for the bonus to be credited, you need to have bet $10 and have at least $50 in your account to receive the bonus at the end of the day.
Came back in the morning and found I was granted with the bonus of $50, giving me a total of $105 to play with. I was in a hasty mood so started playing 3x$3 hands and was in serious trouble hitting a low of $6 at one point. Things got brighter and I cleared the bonus with a balance of $54. I played on to finish on $100.50. Softwares nice and fast and the cashier is fast to cash out.
Yukon Gold Casino - details
Money Back Guarante .Bankroll change: +$0
29 Nov 2006
Yukon Gold Casino are offering a great promotion at the moment, if you lose they give you money back! Up to $50. So I downloaded, registered and deposited $50. My plan was simple to double my money or bust.
Lady luck abandoned me and after 15 hands of blackjack at $5 I was on my last $5. Then it picked up and got me back to $47.50 before I busted out with a few splits and doubles that did not go well.
So I proceeded to fill in this short form which requested my username and last name, and within 1 hour I had my money back and proceeded to cash out. Highly recommend this one, you could easier get a good run and make a bundle with no risk at all.
From one of our european members. Bankroll change: +$105

Deposited there 50 $ and started playing 1 $ hands. Yukon gold refunds you your first deposit if you lose within the first 24 hours. Therefore I played some risky hands and then doubled to 100$. Played some more 5$ hands later and I ended up at 155$ and withdrew.
Linesmaker Casino - details
Saved up for this one .Bankroll change: +$200
25 Nov 2006
To get the most out of this bonus you need a large deposit. The bonus is 20% up to $400 plus another $40 just for downloading the software and wagering just $25. So with over $2000 in my bankroll held in my Neteller Account, I registered and downloaded the software. I was all ready to deposit my 2K so I proceeded to the cashier and made the deposit. Then I got an error messaging saying the maximum deposit via Neteller was $1000 per day.
Hmmm I did not want to put such a large deposit via credit card to I proceeded to deposit $1000 via Neteller. With $1200 in my account a new I had to wager $5000 ($200x25) to clear the bonus. I did this with fairly large bet of $5 a hand and ended out on $1100 and cashed out.
27 Nov 2006
So what happened to the extra $40 for downloading the software, I was wondering this myself so I checked my account and the bonus had been added, even after my first withdrawal, you have to wager this $40 another 25 times to clear so after some luck I cleared the bonus and had $100 in my account.
Private Casino - details
Can only do one of the three.Bankroll change: +$0

Red Lounge and Private Casinos are all part of the one casino group, and so after registering to both I was not entitled to any bonus as I had already received the Red Lounge Bonus. One good thing is that if you do make a deposit you become eligible for the monthly bonuses, so I put 75€ in Private and played a 20 hands of so and cashed out even.

Vegas Casino Online are one of the few Casinos left that offer a decent Bonus and people from the US can play at. The bonus is 125% up to $125 and is cashable, you have to wager 25 times the bonus plus deposit which works out to be a total of $5625. The customer service here is 2nd to none and as soon as I visited the site a chat pop-up appeared with a guy called Ray asking if I needed any help. He then proceeded to give me an extra $20 for signing up.
So with $245 in the account I set up out to complete the WR. Let me just say that the software is really fast and does not offer any mistake advice like “You are on 17 are you sure you want to hit” so after screaming through hands I was bound to make a few mistakes, here’s one that worked out well, crazy play hitting on 20 and getting an ace.

Each comp point is worth $15 wagers so you need 375 to complete, had great runs of luck and I am sitting on 333 comp points with a handsome balance of $400.50.

More luck came my way as i completed the remaining 42 comp points, cashing out a great bankroll boost of $450, thats great for a $100 deposit and a few hours play.

Love bonuses in pounds.Bankroll change: +$50

These guys are run by InterCasino but I was able to sign up to both. They offer a good bonus of 50% welcome match up to $100. I played $5 hands and lost $50 of the $100 bonus and cashed out. Software was the same as InterCasino and it was easy to check the cashier to see how much I had wagered. Another great bonus.

Love bonuses in pounds.Bankroll change: +£10 = $18
18 Nov 2006
Another great bonus from Europe, 100% match on anything up to £50, with a 25 times wagering requirement, Of course blackjack is allowed. The one thing that’s different about his bonus is that they give you half the bonus when you deposit and the other half once you complete, this should not matter if you play conservatively. I had pretty average luck and finish up on £61, so with a £1 withdraw fee I am up £10, but they offer a month £25 bonus, so ill see if I can do better next month.
Betsson Casino - details - sign-up bonus no longer offered.
Small but constant.Bankroll change: +101€ = $40
17 Nov 2006
Betsson don't offer a huge bonus but they do offer monthly bonuses, so joining up is a must. I join up thinking the casino was in pounds but found out after transferring the funds from the base account to the casino that its in euros, so 100€ is what you will need to deposit to get the bonus or 30€, no download is required it just off the site and is very fast. Went 60€ up then finished out on 32€ up, Cya next month Betsson Casino.

Great Find.Bankroll change: +£101 = $192
14 Nov 2006
Found this great cashable bonus for 100% match up to £50 with a WR of only 20 times bonus. Signed up and got underway, deposite £50 and instantly had £100 in my account, a quick look around the cashier and if you hit on withdraw it lets you know have much you need to wager before you can withdraw, £1000.
3 hands is my staple blackjack diet and I was down to £70 then back to £120 within the first £500 wagered, after completing the wagering requirements (WR) I had a very tidy £120, I enjoyed the software so I wagered a further £700 and made it to £151. Update: Red Lounge Casino has increased the wage requirement to 40 times bonus.

Bit Nervous.Bankroll change: +£330 = $628
26 Oct 2006
I was a bit nervous going into this bonus as it’s the largest one I had attempted requiring a £250 deposit to get the 100% match bonus of £250. The difference with this bonus is that you don’t get the match after you deposit, you have to complete the WR and then complete a form to request the bonus.
All went well starting out at and staying at £3 hands and never really going below £250. I completed the WR at £325 pounds. After a big smile I filled out the simple form to request the bonus.
26 Oct 2006
The very next day I received an email informing me the bonus of £250 had been credited to my account but the last sentence in the email was "Please remember all bonus monies must be used to play at VC Casino". I was not sure if this meant I could not withdraw the bonus and that it was a "non cashable" bonus type, so I emailed back and asked.
The reply was swift, "The bonus money can be withdrawn, we just ask as a good will that our customers play the bonus once over on the casino, but this is optional." So out of curtsy I wagered another £150 pounds or so and cashed out a huge £630.

Not much to say here I went for the 100% match up to $75 bonus and starting betting too heavy at $5 a hand, after a run of bad luck I busted out. Lesson learnt was to always bet small and consistent.

This is a great bonus for those that only have a little cash to start building there bankroll before moving to the larger bonuses, took me a few seconds to install and deposit 25€ and i was away. Started out at 2€ a hand Blackjack and after the first 100€ was completed i moved to 3€.
After 30 minutes i had completed the 400€ requirement and had 54.50€ in my balance, i tried to cash out the lot but it would only do whole euros so i ended up playing slots with the remaining 0.5€ :)

Deposited $100, lost $100, but still cashed out my $100 deposit!!! Bankroll change: +$0
14 Oct 2006
Let me first say that the Blackjack software was great, super fast and very clear, which made this whole experience take under 1 hour.
Ok, what happened? I deposited $100 via Credit Card, and was please to see $200 in my account balance. I started straight out at one $5 hand, using the Blackjack guide, and was cruising along at around $200 after the first $1000 wagering requirement was cleared.
A Great little bar chart displays how much of the wagering requirement you have completed. This is split into two parts, the first is half the deposit wagering requirements which is $1250 for a $100 deposit, and the second is an equal amount for the bonus.
Now this is were a run of bad luck struck and I went down to $130 and was starting to worry so I went and checked the bar charts described above and I had completed the deposit requirement and could now withdraw my initial $100 deposit and forfeit the remaining $30 in bonus left.
This sounded like the plan but after grabbing a cool drink, it hit me, why not risk the remaining $30 in bonus before I withdraw my deposit!! So now I had this guarantee in place I upped my bet to $10 a hand and after an up and down battle I lucked out with an 11 double and was left with $100. So I proceeded to withdraw the $100 and call it a day, bit of fun was had and no harm came to my bankroll. Ill be back next month to have another go at the bonus, as this is offered to every player every month!!! This casino is highly recommended.
UPDATE: You can no longer withdraw your desposit after half of the WR has been met, you must complete the full WR to make a withdrawl.

Deposited $200, $120 added to the Bankroll. Bankroll change: +$120
17 Oct 2006
Before I start I would like to say that bet365 has excellent customer support, I used to play poker at bet365 and accidentally activated the sign up casino bonus so it was no longer available to me, a quick chat to support and the bonus was reactivated for me. A++
Ok back to how I went tonight, I deposited $200 and was credited $200, giving me $400 to start, I quickly found that the software was by far the best and fastest I had seen and I was flying through $5 hands, I peaked at around $460 and run into a bit of trouble at around $297, but with a bit of luck on my side a several doubles in a row I managed to get my head above water and back to $402.50 with $1610 wagered leaving me with $3190 before the bonus will be cleared.
18 Oct 2006
Started out at my comfortable $5 hand and progressed into some bad luck with every double opportunity ending up costing me, but this streak did not hold out and I recovered from $250 back to $320 with the wagering requirements completed :) Cashed out $320, adding $120 to my bankroll from bet365, highly recommend these guys.

Downloaded the software, deposited $100 via Neteller and a 2 minutes toll free call to the casino and my deposit bonus was in my account. That’s a huge extra $300 to match my $100. Played a quick 100 or so hands at $5, now I and sitting on a very comfortable $452.50.
21 Oct 2006
What can I say, this is my best result yet, finished off the wagering requirement of $8000 and ended up on $600, that is a clean win of $500USD!! Great fast/software, don’t forgot to look in the options for blackjack to make it even faster.

Almost Guaranteed $200 in 2 hours! Bankroll change: +$350.50
11 Oct 2006
I put in $200 via visa credit card and was instantly given an extra $200 totalling $400 in my account, I started playing 3 hand Blackjack (using the guide) at $1 a hand, and after about 5 mins of breaking even I moved it up to 3, $2 hands, and played for another 15 minutes. At the end of about 20 minutes I checked the cashier’s “comp points” and I had 50.2 points which means I had wagered $520 (50.2x10) and had $404 in my account. Ill keep you updated!
11 Oct 2006
Played for an hour today, moved to 1x$5 hand, went from lows of $350 to highs of $460, but at present I stopped at exactly what I start out at $400. $2650 wagered only $1350 left.
12 Oct 2006
Had a good run at $5 a hand and cashed out a tidy profit of $550.50, that’s a good deal more than the $200 I put in, I was lucky to get another $102.50 over my starting balance of $400, but Blackjack is a very even game.
