Each week Jonny Jackpot offers me a 100% cash match so each week I do £50. I love Book of Dead and always use that as my starting game and THAT is probably where I keep going wrong 🤪. Instead I started on Primal with 80p spins. Managed to get a bonus that went for just over 200x within £50's worth of spins. Wih this i went to Book of Dead on £2 spins and got a bonus that went for £327.  Tried a few other usual suspect games with no joy and ended up on The Final Countdown. This game can be great or it can be a really boring, money draining bitch.  19 spins in the bonus hit naturally which is a shock as you can wait forever on this game. Went with the Woman bonus where the scatters are countdowns. Managaed to get to the 2nd level where all wins are 27x on the wild and came out with £647.20.

So, from my £50 i managed to cashout £1000 and not enter wagering. If only that happened every week! The money is a welcome crimbo bonus.

Welcome Yabo. Been there myself. Always play with what you are comfortable with. I usually work on my spins being 10% value of what i have deposited. If I win and build up, i'll raise the stake. Low stakes can still bring in big wins.

Imagine that 8000x line

Davey is right. It's a dark path you are taking from the story above. I've been there myself many, many....many.....times..... but I'm older and wiser now and don't do silly things to fund gambling. If you're young in your late teens or early twenties (sounds like it from the story) then LISTEN when i say that you will end up in this situtaion again and you may not get a lucky escape. Don't gamble, it's not for you.

Very nice indeed. Well done

Cheers man.... Heard from the chip stream that as of Thursday all sites have to remove the reversal option?! Be interesting if they do..

I saw that so I checked with live support at Leovegas and yes, it's true. UK gambling commission has put the rule in place. Thank the gambling gods. I hate the feature and I've reversed more often than I'd like. 

Nice to know that when you hit withdraw that's it, you can't change your mind. 

I play slots every week. Had my share of decent wins and cash outs but things have been cold recently.

I signed up to Pink Casino who had an offer of £10 no deposit bonus but with this came a monstrous 99x wagering in order to cash out a max £50. I mainly did it for the spins BUT i went on Book of Dead (my favourite) and span 40p spins. Within 6 spins the feature came in with 2 full screens of 10's. Put the balance to just over £90. Long way to go on wagering.

Sod it, I'll play £2 spins I thought. I get a bonus with Kings and I get a full screen plus a couple of 4's. Couple of spins later another bonus. Before you know it I have just shy of £600. Bloody typical as I haven't seen Book play so hot when i deposit raw cash at other sites! Anyway, from there I manage to complete the wagering and withdraw the £50 max for free. It was weird as hell completing such wagering from a tenner.

Very nice of you. I like the set out of the forum and reply system - plenty of choice and you can just give a thanks rather than have to reply thanks.

Welcome you dirty slotter you

Very nice. I was only ever in a position to do £50 spins once in my life after a big win but i bottled it after £3k went really quick without a bonus. 

It's so hot I can't sleep and there's not much activity of posts so I'll write one and see if anyone wants to join in.

The question is 'Why do you gamble? '.  As with any vice we don't have to. I would be a mixture of (twisted) enjoyment, for the times i win big and past addiction. Gambling has consumed my life for 27 years since I was 15.

I'm not silly with it now I'm older but i couldn't imagine not doing. 

Maybe others have different answers - do you do it professionally, through boredom, as a hobby, for the thrill? 

Life essay's not required. This is just for my curiosity. One word answers are fine.

Havent since december,

But I find myself missing the old games and really wanting to try some of the new ones recently.
Crazy Time is the first wheel game Ive wanted to try EVER.

Right now? It's the thrill of games giving huge hits like 100k X  stake +

Why I ever got excited about £500 jackpot machines or online games with max wins of 1000x I couldnt tell you, but they were exciting at the time as an alternative to FOBTs back in the day.
The key thing is staying within limits and not getting tilted. Can be especially difficult!

For a hobby or thrill is fine, but it becomes a problem when it's a boredom buster when not consumed as part of a healthy diet mix of other activities.

Funny you should mention the FOBTs. I played arcades for so many years. When I started watching streamers properly and understood about the x of a win and arcades are fixed at 500x, I never stepped in one again. 

Who cares at the end of the day. Anyone who starts streaming and affiliation does so as a business means....to make some format of money. Some do it full time, some not.

You can't stream and deposit the amount these guys do unless you have a very well paid job, you're extremely wealthy or you have a source of income to assist with doing so. 

II have signed up to casinos via here because I like the giveaway aspect. I've even won once. Why not when I'm going to play online anyway. How the giveaway is funded is irrelevant as long as its honest. Used to do the same on Chip's site but he never showed draws and it seemed dishonest. Used to do the same with The Bandit until he stopped doing them. 

Now, do I think all streamers are honest, no. Do I think some of them are degenerates who do what they can to feed they're habit, yes. I decide which is which for me. Jimbo and Craig seem honest which is why I put my time into the forums here, watch their videos and some live streams. 

I like gambling. I've learned the hard way to control it because at the end of the day it can and does ruin lives. Tired of this narrative that streamers are bad because they encourage it or affiliation is money from someones habit. If its getting too much or an issue it's on the person who is gambling to sort that out. No-one forces anyone to gamble. 

I don't see why you've put the time and effort you have with this post. Anyway, seems Craig has answered you well. If you watch their videos, you'd know they both have day jobs.

Went though your site set up a new account and didn’t get the welcome bonus and have now deposited over £100 

Have you opened book of Dead as the free spin welcome is on that. 

Bit of a poor welcome bonus really

Just had a look around at the new features. Exactly what was needed to expand the site. I like the range of notifications especially for replies to comments and threads. Also like that you will have a notification for giveaways.

 The DM function is good and natural given how social media is used. Not sure there'll be a huge use of this but good to have it. 

Well done Pilo.
