Wagering requirements T/C (page 2)

Yes, it's like playing with a bonus even though it's your own money 🙂

Some casinos are just pretty nasty 🤷‍♂️

How much do you deposit for each session you play? Having played Finn so long if it doesn't pay with the first 50 spins and Finn doesn't get up much I know no matter how much you throw at it it never recovers after 50 spins.

I always wondered why some casinos require wagering of more than 1x on clean deposits, of course the excuse is some anti-money laundering, but let's be honest: who in their right mind would use a online casino to launder money? Any casino requiring more than 1x just wants you to lose your money, the main reason why people play with their own money is to not be attached to any ridiculous rule or restrictions, I can tolerate 3x, but anything above that is just criminal

It depends on the casino I'm playing on, if I want to play on my main casino I usually deposit 200-300 USD, start playing live games to run the balance a bit and then hit slots to grind games that save progress (book of 99 for example) and I play with 0.50% stake of available balance on these progression-type games, sometimes even with 1% of my available balance mostly because I have the certainty I will get a bonus when I collect the symbols, sometimes it's 0.40, 2 or even 4 USD per spin, my session on each game ends when I unlock the feature for collecting the symbols, on live games my session ends when I get over 50% profit of my deposit, and I play for about 2-3 hours on days I have nothing else to do, I normally start with low variance games (baccarat, craps) and then go to slots if my live games session went positive, if not I simply stop playing and save the rest of the balance for another session. I only played the two Finn games because I read somewhere they were good for clearing wagering requirements, which made think they hit consistently, didn't test them enough, played them for less than 200 spins, they are original at least and not the standard slots that all look the same

Finn either runs 🔥 or freezing 🥶 I stated in previous posts on here that you can get 80/100 dead spins in a row I don't count .10 a win at €1 a spin. But whe. It's hot it's a really pleasurable slot to play. I'm thinking of changing my strategy instead of going big of I treble my deposit check out. Going big has cost me at least 6,0000 I reckon over the 5yrs I played. I've got £25 today to either lose or win I will post on here how I get on. I should quit really but being single 64 yesterday and retired due to health issues I've got nothing to give me a buzz anymore 😂

I think the best approach is playing with the lowest stake possible (0.30% of available balance) because the hit frequency is really low for a game that is supposed to be low-medium volatility, your 80 dead spins seem like a real demonstration of the expected hit frequency, which is 21%, for reference, Gonzo's Quest has a hit frequency over 40% 😳

I tried golden tavern and like all megaways slots it was crap!! What I realized from my gambling history is that I'm not very bright but I will now be more diligent from now on. As for tonight as Finn says Here's a piece of Magic mate"😎

I don't know why but I don't like this game at all 😂😜

I like the visuals and how it works, still the hit % is way too low for a low volatility game 😆

True I just played £25 started well got one bonus feature which payed average then the dead spins started. I knew at £20 I was on another loser more dead spins then down to 0 CRAP!!😫

That 20% hit chance is brutal, I think it's even below average, most slots got a hit % around 25 to 30%, you need good bonuses to make up to the dead spins on base game

You got it maybe it's time to pack it in I wouldn't gamble if it wasn't for this slot and the wins seems to have dried up 😫 I would be better off financially and I must admit when I get multiple dead spins I swear slot and I get inner anger thinking Im being shafted 🤬

Past results mean nothing, playing a slot simply because sometime it paid big is not a good idea. I honestly the extremely few slots I enjoy playing are progression slots, you get a guaranteed bonus, might be good, might be bad but the symbol-collecting feature on base game to unlock a bonus makes betting it less risky, you got base game hits, free spins chance and the guaranteed bonus when collecting the required amount of symbols, while on the Finn games you can burn entire balances looking for free spins or a good hit

Can you give me your top 5 slots and will test them out on demo please

I'd say, the question stands as: "Who would use a casino to launder 100€ or 150$? per week?"

Casinos are very often targeted by organized groups cleaning up money... But I agree 3x should be considered a max.

It's ridiculous 😭 these KYC rules were brought in by the Gambling commission 1 to stop money laundering which makes no logical sense and 2 to stop people gambling beyond their means, which to some degree I understand. I don't want some gambling company employee looking at my private banking statement so I won't join any casino that requires this degree of KYC

.

The ones I play the most in no specific order: book of 99, fa fa babies, gonzo's quest, mega joker and Granny vs Zombies. Out of these, book of 99 is my favorite.

Book of 99 gives you the chance of free spins and you have a a guaranteed bonus when you collect 99 books, which normally takes between 200-250 spins, best bonus I had was something around 300x while the worse being something around 20x.

Fa fa babies is also a progression game, you collect some sort of coins that are attached to symbols, to collect them they most form a winning line, 138 symbols must be collected to unlock feature, it takes around 200 spins to get them, it's a sort of jackpot, you pick some coins and picking 3 of a kind gives you the respective jackpot, to top up that jackpot you get envelopes on base game and there are 4 of them, the lowest one will be something aroun 25x your bet to the moment you unlock the feature and the highest one can be up to 1000x or 1500x if you grind enough envelopes, you also can get free spins but they are hard to get and normally don't pay much, but the game has a good hit frequency.

Granny vs Zombies also got a symbol-collection feature, similar to fa fa babies, upon collecting the required amount of coins you get a jackpot. Gonzo's quest fairly regular slot with no additional mechanics besides the multiplier that increases on each win in a row and Mega Joker is possibly the most traditional slot of them all, but I like it simply because it gives me consistent sessions.

The reason why I prefer the symbol-collection ones is because you have a guaranteed bonus, instead of endlessly spinning a slot and get no bonus at all. I will list the slots that got symbol-collection to unlock feature that I know of in case you are interested: desert gem, granny vs zombies, fa fa babies, mida's trasure, dwarfs gone wild, book of 99

I think the only possible way to launder money with a casino would be the casino itself knowing this is taking place and they are consenting it. Imagine a money launderer making 5 figures deposits and the casino simply holds the withdrawal and close the account simply because they don't want to pay out, not because the money launderer is suspicious of money laundering, if that happens regularly with legit players, it can happen to them too, why would they take such a risk? 😂 so many ways and that has to be the most dangerous one, unless the casino is colluding to do so and I do believe there must be casinos doing this in exchange for a fee/cut, specially these Curacao casinos

Thanks I will see if I can play them on demo to see if I should switch slots. How's this for 🤞 luck I had 10% Cashback after depositing €100 the wagering was x45 I met the wagering leaving €291 in my balance but the bad news is you can only withdrawal x5 the bonus 😫

I think I know what you are talking about, you mean the affordability checks? Yes, that is ridiculous. Caan Berry (a sports betting/trading content creator) made a video talking about it, I can guarantee that will be used to further exploit problem gamblers, operators couldn't care less about addicts even if they tried to
