Heck, no!

Free spins only for me - might consider some low risk stuff later, but for now it's only the freebies I'm after.

Last night I did my Bethard spins from Ascot. Had 40 spins with 0 wagering, and came out over £90 up! Was very chuffed. Had a lovely spin where basically the entire reel filled with wilds. DW and I looked at each other when that spun in and went "ooh!".

How brilliant!

I had an email from Mecca with a £2 bonus. When I logged in I saw another offer for a 100% deposit match on the slots. So £10 deposited, £10 free but with £40 wagering 🙄. I thought I might as well have a go and was approaching the £40 at about £10 up which was great, better then nothing. Then one of my last spins produced a £56 win! Came out with £65 in the end .

Not really no - I've done some of the £100 matched bonuses, usually do the escalator stuff on paddy and betfair (so yesterday on DH acount did the £25 x 4 different slots then 2 x £50 on 2 different slots for 100 Free spins and half way through it on my account (but the AOG game wont load on my phone or desktop on my account for some reason!)) but I don't do them on a regular basis as I don't feel my bank is big enough for that kind of risk, I would say I'm up to the low / medium risk stuff but that when I hit over 10k I might be more comfortable to move on to the High Risk Stuff.

What sort of offers do you do on a daily basis Chris?

I'd definitely recommend doing it if you have the bank - start with smaller buy ins (£25, £1 spins) on medium variance slots - Guns N Roses is my medium variance slot of choice.
You also needs to be able to take the ups with the downs. My worst losing streak has been 24 busts in a row (almost £1,200 of buy ins without a profit) towards the end of last month, as demonstrated on my graph below:

It's mostly, for example, deposit x for a 25/50/75/100% deposit match with x35 wagering (or x20, x25 etc). The last one I did last night I deposited £50 for a 50% bonus with x30 wagering (of deposit and bonus, so £2250 wagering). I probably do on average 7 or 8 of these a day - my total casino buy-ins for June so far is £6,620!

I started on a bank of about £9-10k (can't remember now) and have been doing it since mid-March. It's made a huge difference to my profits but I'm waiting for a major downswing in my luck because I have been lucky so far (long may it continue! )

Yeah I mean I have done decent enough with the low / Medium risk stuff so happy to move on to High Risk when I have the bank to take the swings... just not quite there yet - saying that, I would be happy to probably do the £25/£50 buy ins for 50/100% match - where do you do them as I never seem to see them many places (occasionally get the offer on Aspers!) I have done OK on Guns & Roses so it is one slot that I pick, also done decent with Book of Dead so that's a favorite as well as the Great Reveal, and since you recommended ages ago about the £1 spins, I always do £1 or £2 spins (sometimes more if I have a lot of wagering to get through) and I have noticed the profits are better than doing the 20p or min spins - although as this reduces variance I know some people would prefer to do 100 20p spins instead of risking 10 x £1 spins... for me it's time as well, some of the games take an age!

Is it a killer when you hit a massive down swing though... how do you decide not to quit for the month?

I really could not do those casino offers - free spins is my lot!

I guess one of the key things is to think of it as not being your money - it's money you got from MB...so free money or think o fit as chips / tokens and be prepared to lose it!

I am pretty much risk averse! QL of more than £3 make me wince...!

Me too! Those high risk offers sound like a bridge too far for me!

The way I find my casinos (and the way most others who do HR do it) is to go to the Gambling Commission licencee page, and filter by casino. Then, open each individual licencee and it will display a list of casinos owned by that licencee. I then do the signups (where it's worth doing) and wait for the reloads to come. I get frequent reloads from (and some of these you won't have heard of):

32red
CasinoCalzone
Aspers
Casino.com
K8
Casumo
Genesis
Winning Room

I also now run 3 sets of accounts which definitely helps

It is a killer, most definitely, but that's why I record everything and map it all in a graph, so even though I could see I was on a massive downswing, by the end of it I was still almost £1600 in profit for the month and only fractionally behind EV.

Strangely, if I do a low risk offer now and lose a fiver, it gets to me more than if I do a high risk offer and lose £50 I have no idea why though, maybe I'm just weird!

Great thanks for the tips! I will have a look at them - to be honest I have quite a lot of sign ups still to do - I have 2 possible sets of accounts as well that I can use so that helps I guess!

How much time do you spend on this on a daily basis (on average)
