Introduction While
some people claim to play online casinos with real money ‘just for fun’, I’m
sure that the majority of us play in the hope of winning. I think I fall somewhere in the middle – I
want to win of course, but I want to have fun doing it! Even though I admit my profit has only been
made due to the advantage of using bonuses, I do not ‘abuse’ them by playing
just the lowest risk games allowed and seeing if I can sneak off with a tiny
proportion of the bonus. But whatever
your motives, if you are really serious about trying to win you need
to set yourself some basic ground rules, and these are my recommendations:- Never play with money you are not prepared to lose I don’t want
to preach, because I’m sure you’re all pretty sensible out there, but please
do not gamble with money you are not prepared to lose and can not afford to
lose. Gambling which gets out of
control wrecks lives as much as drugs or drinking. Financially more so in
fact; you could never drink $1,000 worth of booze in one day – but you could
lose that in minutes at a casino!
Although I personally did use online gambling to help clear my debts,
I am not recommending that anyone else try to do the same. Always record ALL your transactions I know
exactly how much profit or loss I’ve made since 2001 – but only because I
recorded everything. I recommend that all players should do this so that they
keep their gambling under control and know if they truly are winning or
losing. I do mine on an Excel
spreadsheet, but it could also easily be done by keeping a little ledger in a
note book. Make sure you record EVERY
deposit & EVERY withdrawal – no cheating now! Read & Understand the Bonus T&C’s If you’re
claiming a bonus always read all
the T&C’s related to it before
you deposit. In particular look for;
How much do you need to wager to qualify? Is the bonus withdrawable once
qualified? What games do not count towards WR? What games must you not
play at all during WR? If there’s
anything in the T&C’s that are not 100% clear to you, use live chat or an
e-mail the casino & ask! (Or
e-mail me & I’ll try to answer!) Record the T&C’s Casino
T&C’s can change surprisingly frequently, so when you first sign up and
each time you take a bonus record the T&C’s at the time for future
reference. Either print them out or
take an ‘electronic’ copy, or both! I
usually take a dated screenshot & copy it onto a Word document and also
copy & paste the text on to the same document (easier to read!). Example. Wait for your bonus! At some
casinos (particularly MG’s) you may have to wait up to 24hrs for your bonus
after depositing and/or claiming it. DO NOT start playing before the bonus
hits your account. I know it’s tempting – but bets placed before the bonus
arrives will NOT count towards your WR! (Except some PlayTechs &
WagerWorks places – check the T&C’s) Record your wagers Make sure
you know how much you’ve wagered if qualifying for a bonus. CryptoLogic casinos have brilliant ‘Log
Viewers’ accessed from the main menu in the casino which makes adding up your
wagers child’s-play! They even have a ‘Copy to Clipboard’ button so you can
easily paste it onto a spreadsheet & add up your wagers in seconds! All other softwares (that I’ve seen) have
either crap, or non-existent log facilities – so I keep track manually. For cards; I use four 1p coins & twenty
5p coins on my desk, 1p = one casino credit. As I place my wagers I slide the
corresponding number of coins to one side. Once all twenty 5p coins have
moved I record 100 credits wagered & start again! For slots I record the number of spins
(usually by using autoplay) and multiply by the cost of each spin. Again I use a spreadsheet, but you could
just as easily manually write it down & add it up. Be patient, patient, patient! By their
very nature most gamblers are impatient. They all want the same thing – a
quick profit! Otherwise they wouldn’t gamble – they’d just stick their cash in
the building society for the annual 5% interest. So don’t be in a great rush to meet the WR
qualify for your bonus. If you do, you
are more likely to place larger and more risky bets. There is no hurry – all bonuses I’ve ever
seen have at least 30 days to meet the WR. Take your time with several
different sessions – get some good playing time for your money! (I once took 3-4 weeks to do a slots-only
$8,000 WR at an MG casino – and made $375 profit!) Don’t abuse the monthlies! Decent
monthly bonus offers are getting fewer & further between these days, so
make sure you don’t get excluded from any by a playing style which the casino
could deem ‘abusive’ even though not breaking any of their specific
T&C’s. Eg. Don’t just play one
low-risk game for the whole WR. Try to wager a bit more than the required
WR. Avoid depositing, meeting all the
WR and withdrawing all in one visit to the casino. Don’t push or chase If you’re
having a great run of luck don’t push it too far, or if you’re having a dire
session, don’t chase your losses (believe me – we’ve all done it!). Set
yourself max win/loss targets before you start playing each game – and stick
to them. Once reached, switch to a different game! If you’re making money – don’t waste it! If you’re
having a good month or just a good winning streak at a casino – don’t go mad
and lose your profit by doing crazy big bets, or playing games with low
chances of winning. By all means have
a ‘little dabble’ like this, but make sure you don’t waste too much – you never
know what rotten luck might be waiting for you in the next casino….! Have fun! If you
are taking your gambling too seriously, thinking about it all the time or
getting stressed & depressed when you lose, maybe you should be asking
yourself if you should be gambling in the first place. Remember that gambling is really just a
form of entertainment that you are paying for – the house edge is always
going to be against you, and you are expected to lose… doesn’t mean you have
to though! J Take care – and be LUCKY!! KK. |
