This is a blog where I will keep track of how I've done at casinos and which bonuses I've chosen to try out. Most of the time I'm just simply applying the Casino Whoring strategy
8th August, 2007 - Won £200/$400
Victor Chandler offer a £250 bonus when you wager £5000. Unlike other bonuses, they give you the bonus money after
you have met the wage requirement.
This one took me a long time to do because the software is really slow. Definitely the slowest I've ever come across so I knew I had to be patient with it otherwise I might get
tempted to bet too big and lose it all. I initially started with $2 hands and was pretty even after the first hour or so. I then hit a big losing streak near the tail end of meeting
the wage requirement and went down £30. In the end, I had gone down £50 by the time I managed to meet the wage requirement.
To claim the bonus, I filled out a simple form, and the following day my account had been funded with the £250. I withdrew straight away so in the end, I made a tidy profit of £200.

Ladbrokes has a really great sign up bonus of 100% up to £100 with only a wage requirement of 4 x Bonus (£400).
This is probably one of the easiest bonuses to do as the wage requirement is so low that you can safely
bet $1 hands without losing any patience all the way to the end. For me unfortunately, I hit a really
really bad losing streak from the very beginning. Even betting with $1 hands, I found myself consecutively
losing a lot and in the end, I cashed out with a tiny profit of £15.
I simply fell victim to horrible luck in this one. It is definitely one of the best bonuses to take advantage of
though since the wage requirement is so low.

Following my previous blog entry, I wanted to try and tackle a no deposit bonus again to see what would happen if
I approached it more aggresively. So I signed up to Palance of Chance who offer $50 when you sign up using the
coupon code Palace50. The wage requirement is 20 x Bonus ($1000)
So this time I played blackjack again, but instead I bet everything straight away. If I were to lose, doesn't matter
since it's free money anyway. I managed to win the first hand and so I started betting in $20 amounts to see how
far I could push it. I was up and down for a moment (as blackjack always is), and then I hit a very nice winning
streak and was at $350. Cool things were looking good but I was still far from meeting the wage requirement. This was because the terms & conditions state that residents from Australia (I'm from Australia) must wager
four times the stated requirement. So I would essentially have to wager 20 x 4 x Bonus ($4000).
Anyway, to keep a long story short, I kept playing aggressively and bombed out. I could have tried to
grind the rest out but since the maximum withdrawal amount is $100, I tried to just finish it off quickly.

Decided to try out a no deposit bonus today so I signed up to VIP Lounge Casino who offer $55 when you use
the coupon code FREE55. The wage requirement for this bonus is 15 x Bonus ($825).
It was a very quick process with no hassles and I found myself with $55 to play with. I decided to try and
conservatively bet in blackjack but the minimum allowed bet per hand was $5. I soon found myself losing and it
was too difficult to claw back.
I think next time, I'll try and just bet big first up. Since there's nothing to lose, I may aswell try and get ahead
really quick and then conservatively grind the rest of the wage requirement out. When the minimum allowed bet is
$5, it's a bit too difficult to try and conservatively bet from the get go.

InterCasino have a 100% sign up bonus up to $100 and the wage requirements are different depending on which
game you wish to play. I signed up with the code W21JUL to allow for blackjack and the wage requirement for that is
50 x Bonus ($5000).
The first thing I noticed when playing at InterCasino is the speed of the software. Probably the fastest I've
seen so far which is always good when you're trying to follow the Casino Whoring
guide and play conservatively. I pretty much played $2 hands through the entire wage requirement and I ended up
on $240, so a profit of $140.
The withdrawal process is almost instant which is a lot different to previous casinos I'd played at. Usually
I would have to wait a couple of days, or I would have to send identification documents to the casino first. I
deposited/withdrew using Neteller.

Bet365 Casino offer a 100% bonus up to $200 with a wage requirement of 12 x (Bonus + Deposit). I deposited $200
to get the maximum bonus and off I went to play blackjack.
I was very unlucky in the beginning and I went on a big losing streak dropping to around the $300 mark. The software
is really quick though and I managed to claw my way back up to $335 by the time I met the wage requirement. So in the
end, I made a profit of $135. Not as big a win compared to previous records but a profit nonetheless.

This is a REALLY great bonus to take advantage of and I highly recommend that everyone try it. It's not really a 'bonus' per se, but the great
thing about it is that when you deposit $50, Yukon Gold give you a money back garauntee if you lose.
I approached this bonus by betting the whole lot on the first hand and just seeing what happens. Since the wage requirement is only 1 x Deposit, I could have either won
a quick $50, or broken even. Unfortunately I lost, and I went about claiming the refund which was a very simple process of filling out
a short online form. Within an hour, I had my money refunded back into my account.

Golden Palace offer a really great bonus of 300% up to a maximum of $300. So I followed the instructions on the website and
unlike previous bonuses I had done, in order to claim the bonus you must give them a toll free call at
1-888-217-5648, and quote the code A3973. They also provide the necessary extension numbers for residents outside
of North America on the website.
So I called them accordingly and the process was very quick and easy. The customer support is very friendly, professional
and quick. Within moments I received the 300% bonus and was ready to again apply the Blackjack Strategy
guide. It didn't take me long to meet the wage requirement as the software is very quick (the wage requirement for
Golden Palace Casino is 20 x (Bonus + Deposit) and I ended up on an even $400.

Okay so I decided to play at Club Player Casino today because the bonus they offer is quite hefty (400%)
but is non cashable. I deposited $100 so I started with $500 to play with. As usual, I approached it by
following the Blackjack Strategy guide and I found myself on a very nice
winning streak. By the time I had met the wage requirement, I was up to $1000 so I was thinking to myself,
"sweet I just made $600." But unfortunately, Club Player Casino do not allow people from Denmark, Australia, Israel, Poland, China and Finland
to claim their bonuses. I'm from Australia.....doh.
Always read the terms & conditions! They gave me my deposit back but
it was silly of me to not have read their website properly. Nevetheless, I still recommend doing this bonus (if you're eligible of course).
I could have been up another $600! Oh well.

I decided to play at Casino-On-Net
today who offer a 100% bonus up to $200. I signed up using a credit card and deposited $200 and was given the bonus $200 straight away.
Cool so I have $400 to play with and a wagering requirement of 20 x Bonus (in my case, $4000) to meet. Blackjack
is the best way to go about doing these sorts of bonuses as the perecentage of winning against the house is
close to 50%.
I approached it by simply following the Blackjack Strategy and making sure I followed the rules set out by the
Casino Whoring Guide. It's a long process as I was betting $2 per hand but it definitely works and after awhile I found myself in the
low $600's (a profit of $400 so far). This is when I started to get a bit cocky and I started to bet $25-$50
hands. Stupid move. I found myself chasing money I had lost, only to dig myself into a bigger whole.
Anyway, after meeting the wage requirements, I withdrew and I ended up with $394 (a profit of $194). It took casino-on-net
a couple of days to process the withdrawal and bam, $194 extra in my bank account. Note to self, next time stick
with small bets and don't get impatient. I could have left with a handy $400 profit had I not gotten cocky
Note: Casino-On-Net does not allow players from US. For players from US, I recommend playing at Club Player Casino instead.

Although this is not quite a professional gambling blog, you can see that it's pretty easy to make a tidy profit. I'll keep this blackjack blog up to date
when I can of any bonuses I tend to do. I pretty much stick to blackjack bonuses because it's usually the easiest way to complete the wage requirements and end up ahead.
