I lost £300+ in a moment of madness. BEWARE!
I'm a bit of a novice at this so bare with me... have I understood this right?
OK, say I've got £50 spare to use... I want to use this Casibot as well.
Do you set the parameters for Casibot to use, can it stop once it hits a certain figure or amount of bets? What criteria do you use?
I sign up via QUIDCO to Gala casino, cash in the sign up bonus then deposit the £50 (giving me £100 total).
Withdraw the £50 (my original deposit) and play with the £50 matched bonus? At what point can I withdraw my original deposit?
I then sit back and let Casibot attempt to earn as much as possible out of the £50 bonus? I guess I have to play the bonus money a certain amount of times, or for a certain amount of monetry value?
With this Casibot, does it automatically bet a stake, or does it always bet the same amount, but picking the highest chance (mathematically) of winning?
Sorry for all the questions...
I can't check the details now, because I'm at work (gambling sites bocked 
), but I think that Gala do not credit your bonus until you have played your deposit through a certain amount of times...
Definitely worth scrutinising the T&Cs thoroughly BEFORE signing up...

Hmm, applied for the £20 free chips offer at Ladbrokes. Hope that doesn't rule me out of the deposit matching?
Also withdrew my £175 for now - still, doesn't change the fact that my initial deposit was £100, so they should still match it IF I decide to play on and meet the criteria, shouldn't they?

Yes, you can. The only restriction with Casibot is that you can only run it on 3 (I think) different computers. To run it on more than that you need to buy another license.

Yes, you tell it to stop once it's hit the Wager Requirement for the bonus
In most cases you can only withdraw the initial deposit after you've hit the Wager Requirement for the bonus. If you withdraw before that you'll either lose the bonus or the cashout will be declined.
Yes - you just set Casibot to play however many hands you need to hit the Wager Requirement (the amount you need to wager before you can withdraw the bonus). It wouldn't make sense to set it to play any more than the wager requirement... the casino has the edge and so the more hands you play the more likely you are to lose money.
It always bets the same amount. You can tell it what to bet. It then plays Blackjack using the strategy that minimises house edge.
Have you looked at www.fundmydegree.com? It has a fairly good explanation of how bonus bagging works. It's a good idea to familiarise yourself with it and play a bonus or two manually before investing in something like Casibot.

Cheers, it'll be the same computer anyway.
Fairly sure you can fund via debit card, but IIRC you only get a 200% bonus, where if you use Neteller you get 300%. GP is pretty good, the only drawback is that they have a complicated security routine when you want to withdraw - have to send them scans of your debit card, photo ID and utility bill or official letter, takes a week or so. I made about £200 out of them though.
Normally bonuses are void if you withdraw your deposit before completing the wagering.

yes i signed up to neteller to deposit and get the 300% bonus, its very unclear from the main 300% bonus info that you have to use something other than debit/credit card to get the 300% bonus. Somewhere in support>promotions theres some further info on the bonus where it says it, where the normal T&C's for the 300% bonus don't mention it 
As for Ladbrokes, it seems they have slightly less stringent rules about withdrawing according to the T&C's for the matched bonus, other places you might not even be allowed, as in literally the place would say you can't withdraw, till all the bonus wagering is done. I think by withdrawing you may have forfeited the bonus, ladbroke info isn't very clear on that, you might want to call/e-mail them and ask before you bother continuing as the bonus might stay, but when you withdraw it they might double check the numbers and decide the requirements weren't met and cancel it. A shame if you waste hours playing BJ to get there. I think for any other casino you'd be screwed but ladbrokes seems very lax in their rules compared to others so you might get lucky.
Remember to read the T&C's thoroughly on any site you will sign up to though, this is the most important thing. One of the biggest clauses hidden seems to be you have 30 days to complete the wagering, often without being able to get your deposit till its done. But lots of places say you only have 14 days, FOURTEEN DAYS, to make your first withdrawal once your bonus is given which is often straight away, a HUGE pitfall to avoid.
FOr instance Golden palace, probably the biggest bonus around states
"In any case, a first cash-in must occur within a period of 14 days from the date said bonus is credited to your account, or such bonus credits will be deducted from your play balance at the casino's sole discretion."
Now in theory you only officially get your bonus available to cash out once wagering is complete, which you have 30 days to do. But the actual bonus is credited to your account as soon as you deposit some cash. Which just means, sign up, get the wagering done, withdraw, don't waste time. Its £8000 wagering and takes a while though. You can up your bet stake, but the variance increases a lot as bet stake increases. I would say £2 would be a good way to go instead of £1, as 8000 hands takes a heck of a long time unless you use a bot.
Golden palace, again not clear in the main T&C's, don't actually do it automatically, you have to go to support > promotion >300% bonus info, then send e-mail/call and give them your username and promotion code to recieve your bonus. i e-mailed yesterday and had it added within 15 minutes which isn't bad at all.

I use my HSBC credit card for casinos with no charges
made 18 grand over 4 years doing casino bonuses. Put it all on my mortgage so it saves me over 900 quid a year in interest.
Have to agree the bonuses are a lot more effort now - the only ones I do are paddypower, coral, eurobet and the occasional ladbrokes offer. I abandoned the inters when the wager requirement went mental.
Still, was good money, and had a good win at paddies this month taking home over £200from the monthly.

I think people are using the trial version of Casibot, which is free.

Depends if you mind playing thousands of blackjack hands manually. It gets pretty boring. It's probably the best £100 I've ever spent, but I'd recommend you do a couple of bonuses manually first to get the hang of it.
As for casinos, look at beatingbonuses.com. The best sign up bonuses are listed there.

I bought it and would say it is worth it. It has paid for itself alread and I have only had it two days. It's great waking up to find you have won money in your sleep. I dread the day I wake up to have lost some !
Can you keep this thread updated with your progress lakitu?
Did you buy the £50 or £100 version? As it looks like if you buy the standard for £50, you can upgrade to the Premium one for £40 - saving you £10
Yeah it's odd you can make a saving of £10 buy doing that. Would I be laughed at for saying I just bought the £100 one. I did actually see you could do the upgrade for cheaper too
but didn't check the difference.I am currently doing Grosvenor casino 125% bonus been doing it for 3 hours on Casibot, Im down £5 at £45 with an hour to go. The bonus is £75 so thats pretty cool.
