It’s absolutely hilarious just how rigged these online casinos are

I’m not going to mention the sportsbook because it’s a good sportsbook but like all online casinos this one is as rigged as rigged gets.

I never ever play casinos online but I made a mistake .

This sportsbook was offering a 100% deposit bonus .

I did not look closely at the requirements because I normally keep money in the books for plenty enough to exceed any rollover requirement no matter how large the rollover is.

But this rollover can only be cleared with a 20x play in the casino.

This is completely useless to me because I never play casinos.

But then I came up with a brilliant idea I thought .

Rather then to decline the entire 100% bonus I would go to the roulette wheel and put money equally on red and black .

I would put 10 on each side over and over until I met my rollover .

Sure it would hit the green every once in a while but this would be much better the forfeiting the entire 100% bonus .


I did this for 8 hands.

It landed on green 4 of the 8 spins .

At this rate not only would I lose the entire 100% bonus but also the entire deposit

Can't say I've ever played many of the other games besides blackjack.

You have to nickel & dime them. Try not to get rich in one session...

I’ve played maybe 10 hands total

very small just to check it out. However I have a friend that operates an offshore site and he says stay away.

Came up with another idea .
i would lose a decent chunk of my bonus by doing this but now all.

I can put 17 each on black and red .
And then I can put $1 each in on both the greens .

This would eat up most of the bonus but not all.
Better then nothing .

Nah

just did the math on that .

i would basically lose all the bonus doing this unless it hit green a bunch of times and we know that won’t happen

Find a slot. There was a group that did a awesome bonus a few years back. Did very well until I pulled the offer.

Majority of online casinos are obviously not rigged. Just getting people to play casino games in their living room is enough of a hustle. No reason to rig something like that.

But I'm sure there are exceptions.

I have a large casino bonus I haven't used yet, probably at the book you recommended to me.

I don't care about rollover requirements either, I'm never looking for a quick hit followed by a quick withdrawal.

But I can't use the bonus on craps. The worst part about it, I can't use the bonus to play in the casino until after all my cash funds are depleted, that's bullshit. So you have to lose everything before you can use your bonus funds in the casino.

Never doing that again

I don't buy that for a second either. I'm with Chop on this one. I played at one some time ago. I played craps and bet the don't pass with odds. Over a long haul, the casino's edge on that bet should be less than 1%. I found out very quickly, just like Chop, that this wasn't anything like playing at a legit casino. When the money started flying out the door very quickly, I just pulled back and made single $1 wagers on the "don't". Ironically, not a lot of 7's or 11's came up on the "come out" roll. So that puts the shooter at a distinct advantage. Didn't matter. One point after another just kept hitting. I charted a casino edge of over 10% (absolutely absurd...especially when you're not getting knocked out by come out rolls).

Again, don't buy it for a second.

There was also a site (think it was the WizardofOdds) that checked casinos for abnormalities and found many to be as crooked as can be.

Only experience I have with online casinos is bonus whoring blackjack like 12-13 years ago. I did it at the end when it really wasn't really lucrative but made some $ at it. Would play BJ for $1-2 a hand, probably like 10 different sites total I tried out to get the bonuses and I tracked my results. And they pretty much lined up with what you would expect over a large sample.

I've talked about this with a few other posters here over the years and they agreed that their results fell within a normal standard deviation most of the time.

And I remember back then when I'd read posts/different accounts of people doing this, people ALWAYS said the casinos were rigged, "I lost xyz games in a row, dealer had blackjack on me 5 times in a row, how can happen!" etc etc....I just think because of how fast you can play a ton of volume, it really enhances the swings that the person sees and distorts their view.

Obviously greed exists in the world and just getting 1% profit on 600 blackjack hands an hour isn't enough for some businesses and they will bend the rules, but it wasn't true in my experience and logically it is pretty damn dumb to do given the velocity at which hands/dice throws happen with online software as opposed to a B&M casino.

If you asked me if a site like Bovada or 5dimes or bookmaker had a rigged casino, I'd be very surprised if they did.

I thought this was just common knowledge even for non avid betters. My local uses a PPH for sports betting. He actually warns all his customers to stay out of the casino portion bc its so bad.

I can only tell you my experience and what was found from a site that is pretty credible on the subject (they even have a blacklist of casinos if I recall). I was charting it (had nothing to do with how fast I played). Even contacted the casino and mentioned the abnomaly (they refused to address it...what a surprise).

And then, of course, you hear people say it's regulated (which I always thought was rich). Yeah, regulated by who? The gambling board of Costa Rica. I would trust them about as far as I could spit (which isn't very far).

correct me if i may be wrong.but i thought most guys block this when they join a out

I know I do. For awhile, I kept getting cold called by an online sportsbook (think it was BetOnLine). The guy kept telling me they didn't have the technology to block the casino. I just kept laughing at him and said maybe they should hire an IT guy that actually had some knowledge because that was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard and there was no way I was depositing anything with them until they could.

You should pay Ben Affleck a visit. AKA Ivan Block. Maybe he will offer you a job like he did for Richie.

I have no need to block a casino because it does not tempt me in the slightest .

Only reason I was in the casino yesterday was to try to figure out a way to extract as much of my 100% bonus as I could because I did a really poor job of reading the fine print on the requirements.
