Maximiles (Ipoints) help needed(merged)

Thanks for the reassurance, Vickie. :beer: On the strength of your post, I've just done exactly the same thing.

I deposited £25 and played the European Roulette game. (I practised first before making my deposit). The casino gave me a matched deposit of £25, giving me 50 "credits". I put my bets on three categories, giving me a spread of 89+%, and then played, not changing my stakes or my choices. I lost £5 on the first two games, and won the third, giving me a £5 profit, which I instantly withdrew.

Let's hope the new membership is confirmed between Roxy Palace (why do so many casinos have cheesy names?) and Maximiles, and that I get my 16000 points very soon. :j

Hope these details are useful to anyone as nervous as I was about signing up to this one.

Thanks for this.

I went ahead and deposited but played it real conservative. I made £1 bets on red/black 13 times so I wagered £26 in total. Does this mean I have qualified for the wager term?

For what its worth over those 13 times green 0 came up 3 times! :mad:

Interesting. Green didn't come up at all during either my practice or my "real" plays.

If you've bet a total of £25 or more, you should have qualified for your points. If you now go to withdraw your winnings (if you have any), it will let you change your mind if you haven't got things as you thought.

Incidentally, since you bet on red or black each time, you had only a 50% chance of winning each time. I actually bet on three sections of the board each time, and the combination of the bets meant that I had a 89% chance of winning on one (or more) of the bets. And so, after three plays, I was on the winning side. It did require some bravery on my part to go through with that, as I am unfamiliar with this kind of website. But the point is that your "conservative" approach was probably not altogether in your favour.

But then, as I say, I don't have any experience of gambling sites, so what do I know?!

Ok well going on droopsnouts method, i deposited £25 used the euro roullete again and bet 4 bets in this order, 11, 13, 12 & 14 one 3 times which now leaves me with 20 credits (£10), so i've met the required terms and conditions betting £25 would i be wise to withdraw the credits now or leave them until the points show up?.

That depends on how much each bet was for. You were selecting the value of the chips, I hope.

I don't follow your maths, but I'm probably being dim.

If I understand correctly, you bet on individual numbers, giving you only a 1 in 37 chance of winning. Anyway, did you make four bets or six?? Did you lose each time?

And wouldn't 20 credits be £20, not £10?

You've got me very puzzled!

I haven't been able to follow either of your methods, was waiting in the hope it'd become clearer before I went and did it myself but still don't get whatever methods you've employed.

Ah, OK. I'll rack me brains ...

First I downloaded the software, and then decided to use the practice facility before depositing money.

Having found a game I understood (European Roulette), I deposited £25 from a UK bank account using my debit card (even though the casino site mentions credit cards, but not debit cards).

I then went into the paying version of the Roulette game.

When practising, I worked out a way of increasing my chances of winning, so that I could have a reasonable hope of making a small profit before making my withdrawal. That way was to make three bets on the board for each turn, and changing the stakes to make a bet of 25 units. (You can choose the size of your stake by clicking on the bets on the "table").

The exact three places I put stakes on were "Red" (thus giving a 48.65% chance of winning), plus "1 to 18" (also a 48.65% chance of winning) and "3rd 12" (a 32.43% chance). That combination gave me a "cover" (as the site calls it) of 89.19%.

I am no mathematician to work out these figures. It's there on the page! Use the practice facility to play around with these things.

When I deposited my £25, the site matched my deposit, so I had £50 to play with. My intention was to get in and out as quickly as possible, so I decided to make a play with all £25 of my own money.

My stakes of 25 credits were therefore distributed amongst the three bets mentioned above. I bet 10 credits on 1-18, 10 on 3rd 12 and 5 on red, making up my 25.

On the first two spins, two of my bets won, but one lost, and I lost 5 credits each time, IIRC. Thus I still had 15 credits of my own, but remember I still had the 25 the site gave me, and each time I bet 25 credits. On the third game, all three bets won, and my previous loss was covered and I made a gain of five credits.

I then went to the bank to withdraw my winnings.

You are only allowed to withdraw the money you put in yourself, plus any winnings, and so I reclaimed my stake of £25 plus my gain of £5, giving me a return of £30 - plus the £60-worth of Maximiles points.

Hope that's clearer, JD.

Thanks a lot droopsnout, I get what you meant know. And great explanation for anyone else considering trying this one.

Reading your way i did it a little differently, i downloaded the software, registered and deposited £25 and got a £25 bonus, like you i went on the euro roullete and bet the 4 times i stated equaling 50 credits winning 20 credits in the process.
My mistake on that it is £20 NOT £10 as i said so its cost me only £5 for the points/vouchers.

Does that make more sence?..

Thanks again.

Followed Droopsnout system but used £5. Bet £15 won £10 balance £45. Bet £15 won £25 balance £55. Went to cashier, forfeited bonus and withdrew £30. I didn't carry on spinning once I had bet through the £25 because I realised the bets were coming out of my balance & winnings - not the bonus amount.

£5 profit will do nicely - especially if I get the maximiles too!

You understand my confusion? You seem to say that you bet four times, yes, but three times on one number - plus the others? I was confused.

Anyway, it doesn't matter! Looks like you got your Maximiles points!
