You cheeky bastard! Love it hahaha! I’m sure plenty of people will be utilising this for my posts.

Nice one Argyl.

I guess if he really gives it the big one he has a really good chance.

Sounds mental, but back when I used to do £25 spins on these games, I used to get the jackpot chance quite a lot. Obviously I shouldn’t have to say this, but I will, on those stakes the balance can get rinsed so quickly. Common sense.

That one has actually made me feel sick… that would have been over £250k right?

Thing is, you should never cash out. If you cash out, why did you bother putting that bet on in the first place? Just do the acca for 1/2/3 etc. less games if that was your intention!

Yeah the decent ones are definitely the deposit match bonuses where either 1) bonus money is released in wager-free increments (e.g. Videoslots) or 2) bonus money and real money are kept separate until your original deposit runs out, then the bonus funds are used as an extra life.

When your original deposit runs out is their wagering attached to your EXTRA life?

Well of course, otherwise they’re just giving away free money, right?

I always liked Casumo where you can play with combined real and bonus money and it simply splits your stakes proportionately, so £100 + £50 bonus means on a 60p slot spin, 40p comes from real cash and 20p from the bonus. Wins go back in the same proportion, so if you got a big hit you could still withdraw most of your winnings in cash at any time and just forfeit the remaining bonus.

Ah yeah forgot about that, yeah that’s another decent way of doing it. Always difficult to walk away though and relinquish the remaining bonus money though I’ve found…

Just a thought, but I was watching Rolla’s stream last night and some of his viewers were asking about when he was setting up a home game Rolla replied saying that he hopes to do it soon but sadly Pokerstars have locked his account for the time being (so sadly he won’t be able to play in ours even if he wanted too).

Which got my thinking perhaps I could ask on his forums if they fancy doing a joint community home game just to get the numbers up. Ideally I’d prefer if it was just us but I personally would like to have more players so we can make an evening of it, it also adds a bit more competition to take the crown for #TeamBandit.

For the people who have already signed up let me know what you think, we can just play with what we have but I think the more the merrier until we have done a few and garnished more interest in it. Like I said earlier I’m going to try record the first one and hopefully that will get the ball moving for future home games and if Bandit wouldn’t mind mentioning it briefly in his videos when he is directing people to backinmo for the prize draws it would probably help us out a lot too, no worries if not though.

So, thoughts?

 

Really great idea that, I like it! Be good to have a #TeamBandit and a #TeamRolla, get a little competition going between both of our communities! Spread the word.

Also love the idea of recording it. Can we somehow get a spectator-view recording, just so your own hole cards aren’t on show the entire time? Just an idea.

For me it’s boxing. I know that might seem a bit weird, but it is honestly such a buzz. Seeing yourself progress, doing some sparring, really gets the adrenaline going! And keeps you incredibly fit in the process. Combat sports are great for your health (with the exception of injury and long-term head trauma of course…).

When is it mate?

13th Jan (this Sunday) at 9PM. 🙂

Green has set it up!

Isn’t using your partners card, without a joint account, a risky action in the bank’s eyes anyway though? I remember a couple of years ago I was in the bank branch itself, and I overheard a man say his wife uses his card also, and the member of staff he was dealing with started talking about a breach of terms, as no one was supposed to use that card but him.

I did think nowadays you can use your partners card with permission, but it seems a bit of a grey area. A simple Google will give contradicting results, I have found.

Overall, I do completely agree with @argyl53 here – however, I also feel, in this situation, that the transaction should be blocked by the casino immediately upon depositing where the details do not match the account holders. Surely this isn’t a difficult check for the casinos to set up?

[Biohazard WANTED $675 Outlaw]

Ouch, that hurts. I was actually watching Millionaire the other night and every time the audience gave their verdict I was just thinking back to the slot and if it turns out wrong now like that often does…

Hi Ryo,

Unfortunately this is quite common with a lot of casinos these days. I know 888 Casino do this also. Tis a bit dirty, as not only are we hammered with extortionate wagering terms, but we’re also hit with these caps now in a lot of places.

Not much you can do about it I’m afraid bud, sorry to hear about it. Sucks I know, but at least you have made £50 for free (trying to look the brightside!).

Oh fam, don’t even get me started on this slot. Unless you hit a jackpot, it’s utter trash. Like, beyond trash.

You’re just playing for the jackpots, and they certainly don’t come up often, at least in my experience!

[Biohazard WANTED $675 Outlaw]

The best thing I can suggest is basically what others have already said. Don’t take out any loans to fund gambling, ever. I know it can be difficult, and the thought of that deposit going massive and solving all your problems is so sweet, but 99% of the time it doesn’t happen. This is important. It’ll only make the situation worse.

My advice is, try and fill your nights with as much stuff that you enjoy as possible, that isn’t gambling. Maybe take up some new hobbies, something exciting that you’ve never tried before perhaps? There’s lots out there. You may find something that you enjoy more than having a gamble sesh, you may surprise yourself!

Take a cooler and get your finances back in order. Try not to gamble at all for at least a few months. When you finally return to it (if you choose to, as you say you don’t want to ban yourself as you do enjoy it and it’s not always a problem), you’ll find it much more stable than trying to chase an unachievable goal.

They’ll be plenty of people in the exact same situation as you bud. Chin up, you’ll get through this and find a way to occupy your nighttime’s also, I have faith! 🙂

[Biohazard WANTED $675 Outlaw]

Good luck bud! All the best.
