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

    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.

    Well you see thats why I was thinking of taking the roulette option i suggested in going for the 'less value' offers. In betting on both red and black i would then only be losing 1 in 37 times. Say I do a 3000 for deposit and wager, I'd have to make 10 bets at say £1 on red and £1 on black. Getting one of the 10 bets on green would be pretty unlucky so I would be withdrawing say £18 of the £20 with 3000 points coming in. See what I'm saying?

    And as has already been mentioned:

    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

    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.

    Stupid question. Can you 'ask for the welcome bonus to be removed'? I thought the whole point of that was to sucker you in and take your first deposit, so would the casino's actually do that?

    Thanks

    Yes, I have had no problem doing it, especially as I tend to ask before deposit.

    Hi

    Ok so i signed up to WSOP earlier and depoited $31 = £21.64 I didnt ask for the signup offer to be removed as i dont even know if there is one? I just signed up directly via the Maximiles weblink as told to do.

    Anyway I have played poker and got my $31 upto $68 so will this mean i have now qualified as I must have gambled over the $31 (over £20) needed?

    I have just added up my total wagered bets on the poker tables and its amounts to $69.82 which roughly converts to £44 but i'm not sure if the the money i won also affect my wagerd bets, its all so confusing but i dont want to risk loosing anything as i want to be able to withdraw my winnings after i have recieved my points from Maximiles.

    Thanks

    Poker is bit more complicated than casinos. Erm, I would imagine that all the money you throw into the pot (blinds/calls/raises) is money wagered. What you win doesn't count as wagered. So just because you hae doubled your money, doesn't necessarily mean you have done all the wagering. As you may of won all the money on one hand where you only wagered $5 and just beat everyone else.

    Imagine on roulette, you put £1 on 31, it comes up, your winnings are £36, but you have only wagered £1.
  • Thanks for the reply

    I contacted WOSP via their live chat and was told i had wagered $117 so I think i am ok.

    I also asked about the bonus and was told i hadnt been awarded any as i hadnt wagered enough, i told them i didnt want the bonus "at all" and was told again i didnt have one and that the bonus offer would run out next month, totaly contradicting herself! I left it at that as she didnt know what i was on about!

    Ah well i will just wait and see what happens, I've still doubled my money so not all is a loss but i also think i will still get the Maximiles points, lets just hope we get the extra 8000 for over 100 signing up?

    Thanks
