Guide to Casino Bonus Whoring

The following is a "getting started" guide to Casino bonus whoring. The order and choice of sites is based on the quality of bonuses offered and the speed in which they can be cleared.

It is aimed at a newcomer to the practice of Casino bonus whoring. It starts with bonuses, which make the most of small deposit values, to ease in new users. However, the guide is certainly applicable to everyone - it's still free money after all!

Assumptions

This guide assumes that you know how to play at least one casino game well enough to clear your bonus and end up with a profit! Not much to ask, but if you don't know how to play any casino games, click here!

At this point it's worth noting that a casino's "edge" is very small (a couple of percent) and they only make money from sheer volume of play, as well as indisciplined and greedy gambling. If you play relatively sensibly, some of the massive bonuses on offer most definitely turn the odds in your favour!

Let's Begin!

Keeping Track - Just before we start I must mention something crucial. Keep track of all your profits and losses, how much you deposited and how much you have withdrawn, from all your sites. A simple spreadsheet should suffice, but however you do it, just make sure you ALWAYS keep it accurate....

Right, thats enough rambling - go find yourself a measly $10 and lets get started!

Site Number One - Casino US

Go to Casino US and deposit $10 Use the Flash Casino (this is a lot nicer than the download Casino which looks like a gameboy game) They have 300% first deposit match to this figure, so your account will be credited with $40! In order to claim your bonus and cash out, you must wager both your deposit and the bonus 15 times -

This means you will have to place $600 worth of bets (which won't take anything like as long as you think). We will be visiting sites later on which have wagering criteria as low as 4 times the deposit and bonus, but to make the most of them we need a higher bank balance. For now, these low deposit, high %age bonus are ideal.

What games to play?

Well, this all comes down to what games you know how to play, as well as taking a look at the terms and conditions of the wagering limit. In the T&Cs we can see

"For the initial deposit bonus, wagers on Video Poker, Roulette, Craps, SicBo, and Baccarat count one quarter (1/4) towards meeting the wagering requirements

Please note that wagers on Blackjack for the Initial Match Bonus do not count.".

With regards the above T&Cs, it's also worth noting that on e.g. Roulette, you can spread your bets around the table, reducing your risks. It is quite easy to place 4 times the bet size per spin on Roulette, that you would be comfortable playing on one hand at Blackjack, for example. What you MUST NOT do however, is place very low risk bets, such as $10 on black and $10 on red. The Casino will not be amused by this tactic and will probably withdraw your bonus all together.

Generally, we aren't dealing in vast sums of money yet, so perhaps take this time to have a bit of a play around and pick your favourite games and decide which you think are the most profitable. There are a lot of games on offer - with games being the operative word! Learn a few of them and it will actually be quite a bit of fun to play through your bonuses!

Bet Size

The smaller your bets, the less chance you have of losing all your money (as your luck will even out), but the longer it will take to clear the bonus... Basically that choice rests with you.

Anything Else?

To be honest, I'm struggling to think of anything else you need to know! If you've got a basic knowledge of the games then just get stuck in. Learn by experience, cross your fingers and have fun! With a 300% bonus, you're going to be very unlucky to come out of it without a profit!

Importantly, if at any point you have any queries, just email the customer support team on their site. If you are unsure of the bonus requirements or want a progress check - email customer support. Get into the habit of asking questions whenever you have one and you won't go far wrong.

Finished!

Once you have cleared the bonus requirements, place a few more bets (so they don't get annoyed that you're cashing out straight after your bonus clears) then withdraw your money, fill in your spreadsheet and get ready for site number 2.

Hopefully you made a nice profit, which you can now use as your deposit for the next site!

Break Even Bank Balance = $40

Site Number Two - Cinema Casino

Go to Cinema Casino and deposit $20 (again, using the Flash Casino). They offer a 250% match bonus, up to $50 so by depositing $20, you will be given a total of $70 to play with. You must wager 15 times the deposit and bonus before withdrawing, meaning you have to clear £1050 of bets before withdrawing.

What games to play?

This site is on the same network as the last one and has the same terms and conditions, so you basically have the same choice as you did with the last place!

Anything Else?

Not really! It's all pretty straight forward to be honest, so from now on, I'll keep the chat to a minimum - as fun as it is for me to ramble, I'm not actually telling you anything useful!

Finishing Up

Once you've cleared your bonus, make a few token bets to keep the casino sweet, fill in your spreadsheet and withdraw your money.

If you have played to a break even level, your bank balance should now be $90, from your initial deposit of $10.

Break Even Bank Balance = $90

Site Number Three - Sun Vegas

Go to Sun Vegas and deposit $40. (again, using the Flash Casino). They offer a 150% match bonus, up to $60 so by depositing $40, you will be given a total of $100 to play with. You must wager 15 times the deposit and bonus before withdrawing, meaning you have to clear £1500 of bets before withdrawing.

Extra Info

Again, this site is powered by microgaming, so is much the same as the last two. By now you should be fairly familiar... As usual -

"Video Poker, Blackjack, Roulette, Baccarat, SicBo and Craps games count one quarter (1/4) of all wagering requirements.

Please note that wagers on Blackjack for the Initial Match Bonus do not count. "

Finishing Up

Once you've cleared your bonus, make a few token bets to keep the casino sweet, fill in your spreadsheet and withdraw your money. If you have played to a break even level, your initial $10 should now be looking quite healthy.

Break Even Bank Balance = $150

Site Number Three - Victor Chandler

Go to VC Casino and deposit any figure between $50 - $100. This is a UK based site, who offer a £100 (roughly $180) not dependent upon your deposit figure, but dependent upon your wagering once you have deposited.

VC is powered by a different network, so there are different terms and conditions and the software will also have a different look and feel. Here, the important T&Cs to note are -

"11. Bets on any variation of Roulette, Baccarat and Craps will not contribute towards the bonus requirement.

14. This offer does not apply to any download casino powered by Victor Chandler"

So you will need to play the Flash based casino on the VC Site, although you can now play Blackjack, if you so desire!

As far as I can see, there are no other pitfalls to look out for, so get stuck in!

Finishing Up

Once you've cleared your bonus, make a few token bets to keep the casino sweet, fill in your spreadsheet and withdraw your money.

Break Even Bank Balance = $320

Progress Check!

So how are you doing? The target at this point for your overall bankroll at the moment is basically anything over (or around) $320.

• If you are significantly over that figure, you're doing very well! The luck is strong with this one - either that or skill but lets not get carried away!
  
• If you are at or around that figure you are still doing really well. It takes discipline to continually progress your balance at the rate you're doing.
  
• Anything above $200 and you're probably not doing a lot wrong. Just stick to what you're doing, you're still making a fair bit of money after all!
  
• Anything below $200 and you need to have a bit of a re-think. You are seriously under break even and unless you have been extremely unlucky, you should probably have a re-read of the game rules and perhaps try a different game all together.
