MmmmDonuts Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hey all, I clicked a daily free promo on PartyCasino for Heads or Tails and won 10 free spins on Irish Frenzy. I thought 'ah, probably a load of crap' but played them anyway. They were 0.40 GBP spins and I won £8 so carried on playing the game after the 'you are playing with bonus money with restrictions' warning and hit the bonus feature. It paid over £200 for £0.40 spin and I was pretty impressed. But then I thought I better check the T&Cs as this might have ridiculous wagering requirements. In the cashier it showed as Withdrawable Funds so I thought, ok, let's go for a spin up. I think I'd already wagered the original £8 win and it appeared to have lowered wagering requirements. I upped my stake on the same game to £2 (woooo) and hit the feature again for about another £200, so then raised my stake to £4 and hit the bonus feature AGAIN, this time paying £600. So I'm now sitting on £1000 balance from free spins with no wagering. Do you think that would be enough? Nope, so I went to live dealer roulette and turned it into £1700 and had my bets up to £200. The balance yo-yo'd down and up again, at one point down to £450 so I went to live BJ which was fecking disastrous and I left with £180. I went back to live Roulette and got it back over £1200. Then lost it all. All of it. 23 consecutive losing spins when I bet 1/3 of the wheel. The purpose of this story is what would you have stopped at in that scenario? I really should have been happy with £1,000+ from NOTHING! But nope. Sigh. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev40 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 For me the figure is only dependent on what the balance is. It's probably easier to say i would probably play about 25% off. So if i got to 200 i would carry and would withdraw if my balance went to 150. On the otherhand if it went to lets say 500 from the 200 balance i would set a target minimum withdrawal of 400 and so on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to have that kind of discipline but sadly not that easy for everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonin Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 A typical story ... I know that story very well!! You only see numbers instead of real money! It's not enough because you wanted more You lost more than 1k ... that's why you kept going I hope you're not chasing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've reversed withdrawals. Played off balances of hundreds. We're all gamblers and more to the point we're all human. Suppose i should of said that's what i try to do but doesn't always go according to plan as well you know. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrightmeow Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Been there done that. Learn from your mistakes and next time after few good bonuses cash out some and play with the rest and if you hit again do the same thing and dont reverse. Reversing is the worst you will regret it in 99%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lost 25% of my win back I would stop - usually when only a minimum of doubling my start balance or over £xxx though. When I'm with the wife in a bricks and mortar casino, she reminds me of that loss-back rule. Sadly, when left to my own discipline...... Sigh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chair Slots Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I thought you were going to say there was a cap on free spins winnings or you'd broken the terms and that Party Casino were the knobheads... ...but no, the knobhead is indeed your good self. Live and learn eh. Think of all the donuts you could've bought. Oh and welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
