try it, if you played BS and bet small you were unlucky thats all. keep in mind that you won more then the odds say you should have from Casino on net so maybe that was the BJ gods way of getting some of it back.
My personal logs of playing online Blackjack
- Thread starter Gregory
- Start date
Seems like if you get burned by either Planetluck or Starluck, the other comes through. Dunno. Maybe try InterCasino or William Hill next since you can bail on those two with your deposit even if you don't make the WR.
Always use the correct basic strategy, that is a must. You seriously need to take advantage of the correct split and double down opportunities. That is the only chance you have to trim the house edge to half a percent or so.

Repeat after me: BS and small bets
Only turkeys bet big and bomb out completely at Starluck and then AGAIN at Intercasino!
Gobble gobble.

Thanks Aussie, that is what I expected you to get. Pretty annoying. I can understand the photo ID to verify your age (funny it wasn't important when you were an assumed loser using their casino) but the credit or debit card scan? If you used Neteller why on earth do they need your debit or credit card information?
I guess the top portion of the bills is okay. That's what they would get from me anyway. Either that or I take Photoshop to the scans of my cards and do some creative number rearranging. :devil:
I believe once you get those documents to them the rest of the process will proceed as expected. Nice going on that, by the way. I'm looking forward to a few hands of $75.00 each myself.
E-town-guy, that is what I meant by the "personal information".

Oh yeah, new month and new $100.00 bonus waiting at InterCasino. I need to get over there and take care of that. Twofers on the bomb outs eh? That truly sucks.
Not good. Not good at all.
Very very bad to bet big on cashable bonuses.

We save that for the stickies, yes? Plenty of those out there. Here, since you already beat up on Golden Palace go pick on these guys:

bosco, I think you should edit that last post, I don't think Ken would appreciate that kind of language.
I don't think its appropriate on this board either.

aussie, I didn't find anything offenseive about bosco's post. Unless this is a religious forum, I don't see any harm in it. If he used cuss words repeatedly in multiple posts I could see calling him out on it. But I see no harm whatsoever here.aussiecounter said:
Aside from that, are you guys counting with these online casinos? Or just playing BS? It looks to me like that Casino On Net is the best choice. I didn't think I'd be interseted in online casinos until reading this post. I thought they were surely a scam.
Profanity being used here is offensive only in the context that most of us using this thread refrain from profanities. I personally would have said something like "PlanetSUCK" rather than "Planetfuck", but whatever. We're all adults and if we're gambling we're supposed to be over 21. Personally I scored $160.00 off of PlanetLUCK when I played them.
There is no point to card counting with online casinos since the entire shoe is shuffled between every hand. Instead you try to use the low house percentage that blackjack gives you to hit a withdrawal requirement to claim the cashable bonus that some casnions offer new players.
This can be very lucrative, having gained me $780.00 in the last 2 weeks. There is no point in me retyping everything that has been written on this subject. Here's a link to what you need to get started. Don't merely read it, but study it completely:
http://www.bonusbug.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=casino;action=display;num=1109632125 (Archive copy)
Make small bets. You are only wanting to hit the withdrawal requirement (WR) to claim the bonus money.
Print and follow the correct basic strategy guide. You must take advantage of every single double down and split opportunity. There is no room for for "I have a feeling" or any other mumbo jumbo crap.
Don't expect to always win. I have been fortunate, but always very careful and conservative in my wagers. I will have to change that policy when I tackle the sticky bonuses, but for now you have a golden opportunity to make some relatively risk free wagers with the cashable bonuses. Have at it!

Littlewoods Casino
Bonus match of 100% up to £25 for first time users, plus a monthly bonus of £50 for wagering £1000 during the month.
WR for £25 sign up bonus is £500.
WR for £50 monthly bonus is £1000.
£1.00 is equal to $1.77
Minimum wager at Blackjack is £1.00.
They are happy to accomodate American clients.
I installed Littlewoods some time ago, but the entire conversion of pound to dollar turned me off. I was wrong and in retrospect I should have bumped this casino in front of others so I had already knocked them out last month and now had a new monthly bonus waiting for me. We all know the monthly cashable bonuses are getting rare.
Neteller handled the currency conversion for me on my deposit. I made an initial deposit of £100.00 which was equal to $177.50. If I were simply going for the £25 sign up bonus my deposit would have been smaller, but I was eyeing that £50 monthly bonus as well. Same software as InterCasino, which unfortunately means the same PIN deal. Ah well ... I knew it going in, but like I said the monthly cashable bonuses are getting rarer so I had to get that PIN eventually. Same play as InterCasino all down the line. Same graph that shows you how far towards the bonus you are. Absolutely no surprises here. Play was really uneventful. LOL ... I'm getting JADED.
Note that every wager of a single chip is equal to $1.77! My thick American head had to be cautious since a 2 chip wager isn't $2.00 but $3.54. If you already use other currency this won't be different, but having only played $$$ based casinos it was something I had to consider. Starting at £125 I was up a bit out the gate and never went below £125. Damn that's nice when it works out that way. I quickly hit £145 and stayed there for a few hours until I finally climbed a bit more and hit the £500 WR at £161. That placed the £25 in my withdrawable account, but I still had the additional £50 bonus waiting. Already halfway to the £1000 WR for the second bonus, I quickly blew through the additional £500 in wagers to get the second bonus. I exited the program, then immediately restarted it. Yes, my account had been credited the additional £50 as promised. After the restart my account showed a balance of £211.50 ($374.35). I wanted to play a bit more to pad the WR, but out of the the next sevens wagers I made I lost five of them. That would be $17.75 that I gave back to them in about a minute. Screw that, at this point I'm done and just waiting for my snail mail PIN to arrive so I can transfer everything over. Total profit is $178.00. Bloody hell, that's a beauty mate.

Littlewoods is one of only three bonuses I play for monthly. The other two are Intercasino and Eurobet. I screwed up when I first joined Eurobet though, by choosing dollars instead of pounds.

I'm wondering HOW is that enforced there? How do they know what you are doing on your computer inside your home? Sure, they can monitor you IF you ALREADY have raised their awareness but how can they monitor several million people- all at once- at all times?Langstroth21 said:You only need to be 18 to gamble in my state...and I am under 21,

In the past, on all various forums, posters have said that it is impossible to monitor what people view on the Internet in the privacy of their own home UNLESS you are already targeted. Certainly impossible to monitor in real time for millions of people but if you are singled-out, they can monitor at the ISP level. What has changed now? New technology/software that can scan website content for certain buzzwords fast enough to block casino websites? On another forum, some guy said possible ISP testing of casino websites is going on because he couldn't access any gambling-related websites but yet no problem otherwise. He had to use another ISP to be able to post there. It appears that if blocking gambling websites was difficult in the past, it is not the case anymore. YET AGAIN, it might just be disinformation to scare people away from online gambling.

InterCasino Monthly Bonus
Bonus match of 100% up to $100.00.
WR of 25 X Bonus = $2500 for the bonus.
Minimum wager at Blackjack is $2.00 at Single Player Single Hand Table.
Minimum wager at Blackjack is $1.00 at Single Player Multi-Hand Table.
This was my second helping at InterCasino. With my trusty PIN in hand I can look forward to having my profits in two days. I deposited the entire $100.00 for the maximum $100.00 bonus. The bonus was promptly applied to my account and I went to work.
Things began a little rough with me hovering around $180.00 or so for a few hours. A brief dip dropped me down to my lowest point of $167.00. Just as quickly I turned that around and during a nice streak hit on some 5 to 10 dollar wagers. That pulled me up to around $240.00 where I once again lingered for a while before bumping up to $265.00. I hit the $2500 WR at $274.00 after 5 hours of play. I padded the WR for an additional hour of play and sacrificed $13.00 in the process. After the stupid $1.00 charge for InterCasino's eCash withdrawal system, I withdrew an even $260.00. Sigh, the world needs more monthly cashable bonuses.
On a side note I noticed that if you play at the regular single player table the minimum bet is $2.00, but at the single player multi-hand table the minimum bet is $1.00. So if you ever do want to play just a dollar a hand you can join the multi-hand table and just play a single hand. The rules of the game remain the same. Peculiar eh?
