Just a shame they've also removed the £10 Amazon vouchers

Yeah, seems like a bad move to me, cutting out a lot of those who just do surveys to try an earn a bonus tenner here and there.


Vouchers recieved, laptop ordered. Nice laptop for £94.99 instead of 545.99, still should have circa 20000 points left to pay towards and ipod :beer: all for free.

Can you possibly give a real brief summary of how you got those points, i.e. the offers you completed/for how many ipoints/any trouble you had etc. Would love to give it a go myself

I ordered a l650-166, i3, ATI 5650, only 2gb RAM but cheap to upgrade to 4gb. I got burnt though, order was rejected, the seller trying to claim they suddenly had loads sold over the weekend, and only a display model is left. More like, a) they were trying to con people and passing of a display model b) they made a mistake in the price and trying to back out of it.

I have done about 8-10 casino sign ups. Its pretty simple.

1) sign up through link
2) ask for welcome bonus to be removed
3) deposit
4) wager required amount on black playing with a strategy card to reduce risk.
5) wait to get paid.

A few of the offers i did aren't there any more, every so often a new casino comes up with 15 000 points for £20 deposit and wager, which are good.

I also did some of the more riskier options lik the 13500 for £90 deposit and wager, but its up to you if you want to take the risk, start with the small offers.



Does any one know, as I ordered with vouchers and my own money, when I get a refund, will it come back in the same format? or would it be the more beneficial format of all cash to my card? :P worth a try...

Did you have trouble with any site doing this? What was the average time say it took for them to get the money back into you bank account once you withdrew? How long on average did they take to pay up? (and would hassling the company directly help them to pay ipoints?)

I'm considering doing all of the following:
Intercasino - 12500 deposit £35 wager £75
Paddy Power Casino - 11000 deposit and wager £60 (here it says in one transaction, whats the best way here of minimising loss? like £29 red, £29 black, 2 Green or something like that?)
ME casino - 3500 £10 deposit and wager
Casino WSOP - 12000 deposit and wager £20
Casino 777 - 6500 deposit and wager £30
SuperCasino - 3000 deposit and wager £20
VIPCasinoClub - 3500 deposit and wager £20
21Nova - 8000 deposit and wager £20
Eurogrand casino - 8000 deposit and wager £20
Prestige Casino - 8000 deposit and wager £20
William Hill Casino Club - 8000 deposit and wager £20
Gaming Club - 13500 deposit and wager £90


The way I would approach it would be when wagering sit at roulette and bet the min on red and black. If it comes green a few times then you just take the hit. Thoughts?


Also, did you do the other WSOP? If so, did you just have a pure gamble with the £20? Also, did you do any of the pure bookmakers ones (i.e. no roulette/blackjack/poker) and if so what sort of bets were you doing to minimise risk?

Sorry for all the questions but i'd be really grateful if you and others could provide advice as it seems a handy way to get some vouchers relatively risk free.

I have had all points owe to me. I accidently signed up to one and completely forgot to do the wagering but apart from that, I think I got all of them.

I leave a tenner or so in the account until i am awarded points. I do alot of MBin' so I have a lot of money tied up in casinos and bookies.

They took between 2 weeks and 2 months really. William hill took like 2 weeks, whilst I imagine the average is 4-6 weeks.



Thats a bad strategy, in roulette any more than 25 numbers covered is generally deemed as 'unsporting' behaviour, and you will be flagged. Now this wouldn't really matter as you aren't using bonuses, however it might mean they refuse your points. Not sure how it works internally.

18(black) + 18 (red) = 36 out of 37, which is not good.

The best game to play is blackjack,http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.blackjack-strategycard.com/images/Blackjack%2520Strategy%2520Chart%2520Multi-Deck.gif&imgrefurl=http://www.blackjack-strategycard.com/blackjack_strategy_%26_rules_-_multi_deck.htm&h=611&w=432&sz=28&tbnid=40aOu1AuF-MrMM:&tbnh=136&tbnw=96&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dblackjack%2Bstrategy&zoom=1&q=blackjack+strategy&usg=__9heuUROBg9b2R7DivPZcS2BrYtY=&sa=X&ei=bLyXTLf6LcaV4gaVoJ3eBA&ved=0CDEQ9QEwAw

Thats a link to a strategy card that will tell you how to play the perfect game. On a perfect game over unlimited time you will only lose the house edge which is around 0.5%, or 50p in every £100 wagered. The issue with this is variance, like you know if you flip a coin unlimited times you know that law of large numbers will end up making it 50-50 heads and tails, however you might get 90 heads and only 10 tails for the first 100 flips. So you might also lose 20 hands of blackjack and lose all your money. Statisticly its very unlikely, but than someone wins the lottery every week...

This strategy won't flag you up as an abuser and IMO is the lowest risk way to get the points. I have lost no more than £20 getting all my points, might be a lot lower, as some offers I end up a fiver, while offers i end up down a fiver, i just take punches variances throws at me.


I did both WSOP and their casino. WSOP I just gambled on the poker, gave me a few hours of fun. The points alone were worth £50 or something.


I tend to stay away from bookmarkers as in sports betting as I do that in match betting which means its more valuable to me to wait for certain offers than take quick points.


Sorry about reply being all over the place, didn't it in an unorthodox manner.

Cheers for the info. Im guessing my problem Is that I dont want to have a lot of money tied up. I want to do an offer, cashout and move on etc. I never even thought of using a strategy card for Blackjack. I guess if the edge there is lower then I should really play that. Do you bet the min amount each time to try and reduce variance then?

(sorry for all to make this seem like a gambling forum but I hope some others see it and see that there are ways to get vouchers!)

I tend to do £1 as its only £30 or so, 30 hands takes me a few mins. But yes, the lower the stake the lower the variance and the closer to the 99.5% you will get.

You can withdraw straigh away, there are people who have, its personal preference, I just feel they are more likely to award points if they think you are a recreational player and not just in and out.

Some of those aren't worth the risk as unless you win you are actually losing money, eg:

SuperCasino - 3000 deposit and wager £20

General rule of thumb (IMO) is 3000 points = £10. So there you're wagering £20 and only getting £10 points.

By my reckoning, of the ones you've listed, these will all lose you money UNLESS you win the bet (ie the points are worth LESS than the wager amount) so aren't worth the risk (Plus you'll kick yourself if they do a promo offer with higher points and you can't do it cos you already signed up):

Intercasino - 12500 deposit £35 wager £75
Paddy Power Casino - 11000 deposit and wager £60
Casino 777 - 6500 deposit and wager £30
SuperCasino - 3000 deposit and wager £20
VIPCasinoClub - 3500 deposit and wager £20
Gaming Club - 13500 deposit and wager £90

And with the exception of Casino WSOP, the rest are marginal, ie only gain you marginally more points than the wager.

I agree, general rule of thumb should be don't risk more than the cashback is worth, 3000 = tenner is the same rate I use.

I say its a general rule, I did gaming club and jackpotjoy or something which were both deposit 90 wager 90. Think i came up 10 on one, down 10 on the other, worked out nicely. Could of gone tits up.
