Just won.....£430 from a casino

£20 free chips.

All winnings from this promotion will be paid into a bonus account. The winnings must be turned over 10 times before being removed from the bonus account e.g. you must stake the £20 worth of casino chips 10 times to the value of £200 before withdrawal.

that's a fair assessment.

However, to complete the promotion via blackjack, the £20 has to be turned over 100 times, not 10 times.

Seeing as I've never done this before, I don't know how long it takes to play 2000 £1 blackjack hands. Is it really worth the effort just for £20? Maybe not for some people, but seeing as I'm a lazy student, the opportunity to make potentially £20 for a few hours in front of the computer doesn't seem such a bad idea :D

PS, the bonus takes upto 48 hours to reach the account, so won't be able to get started until Monday at the latest.

How long did you spend doing it, like all day equivalent of a jod or a few hours a day?? I need to earn some money over the hols!

Definitely not the equivalent of a job. Each casino was probably taking me 3-4 hours on average, and I was doing one about every other day. Sometimes you get really lucky, like when I put £25 in to do a Littlewoods monthly bonus and walked out an hour later with £200. Other times it's a complete grind - I spent about 6 hours playing SkyVegas and won £20 (had to keep playing to claim the bonus or I'd have lost £80.) On average, though, it's still pretty profitable.

A warning though... sure, bonus bagging is advantage gambling, but it's still gambling. Anything can happen, so don't play with money you can't afford to lose. Don't take the bigger risks until you've done all the simpler offers - play the longer ones once you've got a feel for the game and built up enough bankroll to cover you if it goes wrong.

Depends on the casino's software and your practice level, but I'd expect 2000 hands to take about 3-4 hours once you're used to the game. With the better bonuses you'd be hoping to win £50-100 for that, which is pretty worthwhile :D

It's not much effort, it's just a bit boring at times... once you've played a few and learnt the strategy by heart, you kinda stop thinking about what you're doing and click mechanically (which is the best way, because you don't let your emotions into it and start taking risks!) Do it to some good music :)

£430 from a casino, 6 hours blackjack :D Bonus bagging of course. Leads me to this question, what's the most you have won through bonus bagging or otherwise through an online casino and what did you buy from your winnings? I know there are a few on here that are into bonus bagging (oc got introduced me). I just bought tickets to Paris.

works out at 70 quid an hour tax free.

Not to shabby wp. :)
 
One £3000 about 2 years a go. Didn't think I was going to get it because it was a little American Casino, all worked out fine in the end though.
 
I heard about bonus bagging years ago but I never had the money or time to really do it. Today I read a bunch of the sites again and decided to give it a go though.
After 3 hours, I lost £25 on my £50 deposit, but the bonus brought me back up to £75!
Not as good as a lot of the results here, but for my first time I'm pretty chuffed.
 
been looking into it today and its allot of hassle. signed up to ladbrokes mind. went for the welcome bonus and came out a whole 1 pound up :/ used the blackjack charts but it seems im just not lucky. get 100 free spins on some game aswell but then you have to hit a certain wager with any cash won on that too. will see what happens once it all gets paid in (48hours)
 
Archaius, I am pleased you won something! What you gonna buy with your winnings?

I'd never heard of Bwin, what software you use? Autoplay? How much you have to wager?

They're pretty big in France, you have to deposit into Euros anyway. I used the Casibag free trial, might buy the real thing as it's already paid for itself. :)

Casibag?? Brought up zero results in Google? Can you link me ?
 
Mulder, does Casibot work well then ? You recommend? I really like the idea of this. Anyone else had any experience?
 
I've only tried it with Bwin and it was a little dodgy at times, i.e. stopping half way through a hand or not keeping a truly accurate record. I'd still recommend it though, it played nearly 3500 hands for me yesterday.
 
Just siged up to that £20 free ladbrokes bonus. I've been wondering about doing it for a while but i'm not really a gambler. I'll see what it's like with the free money then maybe start doing it properly. What sites do people recommend for information on bonuses and the like as http://www.blackholebonus.com/ doesn't seem to have been updated in a while.
