Hi, I was wondering what your best returns have been from free spins. Yesterday I received a postcard in the post from a casino offering me free spins and deposit bonus's. I went on the site and claimed my free spins, each spin was worth .20p and they were for wild Toro, I managed to convert those spins to £9.60, and then eventually converted that to £290!!! I know its not a massive amount compared to some of the wins in here, but I was really happy, as it was money from nothing. Got to say though, the play through was ridiculous! I tried cashing out at £200 but it said I still had to play £840 ! I estimate my total play through was about £4k, really big for 10 free spins I thought, but got there in the end!

Well I am very impressed with the speed of the withdrawal. I received it this morning in my account. I thought it only fair to post the positives as well as the negatives!

The max bet I made at any point was £2, so I think I'm safe on that one, but who knows.

Yesterday I got an SMS offering me a 100% match bonus at 10Bet, I was bored so thought why not. I deposited £100. I was given another £100 as bonus money. I was doing ok, took it up to £300, then down again, then up again over and over. It got to the point where I got to around £400, I thought I would check to see how much play through I still had to do. I was stunned to see I still had over £5000 to play. Yet their T&C's on their site state 30x meaning my play through should be £3000. I contacted support, they said that if I clicked the link in the SMS there are different terms, sure enough there were, I had to play through 35 x my deposit and bonus! Meaning I would have to wager £7000 before I could withdraw! I thought this was a bit sly! But maybe more fool me for not checking the terms and conditions for every individual offer! Anyway, I managed it, I played through £7000!! I managed to get my winnings to bang on £600. I go to banking. I see I have only got £500 ??? I contact support again, Apparently the £100 initial bonus is not withdrawable !! In my opinion this is so not right! Not sure I will be wanting to use 10Bet again!!! I guess I could say Im lucky, as this is really the only bad experience I have had with a casino. Just hope they pay me my £500 !!

Thanks for the replies. Its quite funny really, after writing the last post, I deposited £65 which doubled with a bonus, and lost the lot!! Haha. That will teach me. I have a question if anyone can help me....... Something I have wondered about. Supposing you are playing a slot, with say 40p a spin, you see the slot begins to start paying out, if I were to switch my stake from 40p to say £2, does the slot treat this as a new session, I mean does it switch to a different pay cycle??? Not sure if that is clear, but I have played slots where they seem to pay steadily, but when I raise the stake, they stop paying. My strategy is, always play sober! Easy to get carried away after a few beers! I normally play 40p - 60p spins, if I haven't sensed the slot is paying after losing about £10 I move on. If I am playing 50p stake and I win £30-£40, I move on, £1 stake £60-£80 I move on. I have also noticed that if I start with a big pot, well big for me, say £150 plus, I tend to win more than if I start with say £50. Sorry for the ramblings!!

Hi, im new here. About 4 months ago I started playing online slots, I kept winning. I generally switch casinos after a win and take advantage of the bonus on offer. Im by no means a high roller, I generally deposit around £50 - £60 pound a time, amounts I can comfortably afford to lose. But I rarely lose. Of course at times I do lose, but mainly win. I.e. Over the last 7 days I have used 5 different casinos and am waiting for payouts, frome between £170 and £520. I generally play 40p a spin or in that region, and am patient. I wait until I have a decent pot and take the stakes a bit higher. So as to win more and get through the playthrough quicker. My reason for this post is, am I just lucky? Or are casinos giving big payouts to new players in the hope of getting them hooked? Is it because Im being patient? Do most players take up the bonus offers win loads, then realise they cant cashout, think its a con, and gamble recklessly and lose all their cash? I have kep a track of my wins over the last 4 months, ive won £6500, and lost 950 approx. The loss includes stakes that I have deposited, so not necesarily a loss. Sorry for the long post! Hope you get what Im trying to say!
