40,000 sine monday!!! !!!!!! do you do on ipoints?

Casino's mostly, I've had another 25,000 come in today! Since I started I've ordered over £300 in Argos vouchers, I still have a huge amount to come in, hoping to get a good HDTV.

I do the Casinos with the following method, feel free to adopt it because it's pretty successful. Be very strict with this because if you keep gambling you're probably going to lose your money.

1) Find a Casino offer where the amount you need to wager is equal or above what you will earn, e.g. InterCasino is great because 15,000 points = £60 vouchers, at worst you will make £35 profit in vouchers.

2) Sign up to a Casino but don't deposit money until you speak to the Live Help customer service. Ask them to withdraw you from all sign up bonuses. The reason you do this is because they're designed to make you lose your money. I got my fingers burnt with William Hill. I deposited £40 and wagered £40. I tried to withdraw it and they said I couldn't because I accepted a bonus and I have to wager 25 time my deposit and bonus. That worked out at wagering £2000! And only on the slot machines!! So when it's removed confirm with the customer service rep that you can withdraw your money at any time. I have no bad experiences since doing this.

3) Go to European Roullette and wager the money. There are two ways you can do this. Let's say you have to wager £20 (the most common amount).

[a] Bet £1 on (1-12) 20 times. Stop. Withdraw remaining money. I choose this out of personal preference, to break even you have to win 7/20 times and you have just less than a 1/3 chance of winning every time.

Bet £1 on Red or Black 20 times. Stop. Withdraw remaining money. With this you have to win 10/20 times and you have just less than a 1/2 chance of winning.

4) Wait for iPoints.

You'll find you'll leave with a few pounds pofit a couple of times, but on the whole you'll probably lose £2-£5 (in my experience).

Some other pointers - the casinos are designed to hold on to your money for as long as they can! A lot will say they require proof of ID so make sure you have a scanned copy of your drivers license, front and back of debit card and a recent utility bill handy and e-mail it to them when they ask for them.

There is also a batch of 4 casinos (Joyland is one of them) that require you to fax a signed document to say you've made the deposit of cash. This is an absolute con but there's no way around it.

Good luck, stick to this and you'll be rolling in iPoints!! I came up with this in late January/early February and the iPoints have only been coming in recently so be patient.

Agree with your post - although you can also bet half your stake on red and half on black with most casinos (having opted out of the bonus scheme). You will lose all 1/37 times.

William Hill say they need you to fax the document, but they accepted a scanned one from me - I suspect the others will too!

I'll send them an e-mail this evening about that, I've tried faxing to one of them but it says there's no answer...a little worrying!

You're right about betting on red/black but some won't pay up because it's seen as hedging and they don't like it!

Just send them an email saying 'attached is a scan of the signed confirmation form, as requested'!

If this doesn't work, I think there is a way of converting a scan so your computer can be used as a fax - someone on the techhie board might know.....

I think I'll do this tonight, I've just tried sending a couple of faxes, each time it says "Fax not answered."

Very suspicious, but I can't find anyone else who's had similar problems.

I find the best way to bet for the casino is split you money. For instance i had to wager £35. So i placed £15 on red, £15 on black and the last £5 covering 0, 1, 2 and 3. This way you only stand to lose £5 max and if you are very lucky you may even earn money like i did

brownmurder

i usually do £5 on each then if the annoying green comes up i still have money left to do more, i usually come out even and take my cash out and still get the points

i got aboout £150 in vouchers using casinos and not cost me a penny

So I got an e-mail back from the rogue casinos (and one from another) saying that they can accept a scanned copy. I don't have a scanner (stupidly got rid of it just over a week ago!) so I'm half !!!!ed and have taken a photograph of my signed e-mail. I'll let you know how I get on. For everyone's reference the casino's that require this are:

Joyland
Amber
Blackpool
Carnival
Aspinal (where I actually made a profit of £11 and they're only sending me a cheque, it'll be weeks before a get it)

If you do a shop through moneysupermarket.com you gain ipoints, 1 point for every pound so make sure its a big shop! but if you decide to cancel the order with Tesco, Asda, Ocado or Sainsbury's through the actual supermarket's website, you still get the ipoints. :cool:
