Hey well i'm starting to get into these online casino websites now that I have some money in my bank account. I just have a few questions on where to begin.

1) Everyone I work with uses the site sportsbook.com Has anyone ever heard of it? Any good? It has a $50 min. deposit which I don't like, because thats alot of money to be wasting on gambling.

2) Do you actually get paid? I hear alot of rumors that these sites are mostly scams and that its hard to win, and when you do, it takes awhile to get paid.

3) Is it worth doing? I know gambling is a risk regardless, but because i'm doing it online, does it lessen my chances on winning? Be honest, have you actually won anything off these sites?

4) Can I just deposit money from my debit card online? I heard something about this gay law passed in the US restricting banks from depositing money into casino sites? If I can't do it this way, how can I get money into online casinos?

Thanks alot guys. I just want to throw out there that i'm basically just looking for a way to make extra money. I know gambling isn't the best idea for that, but who knows. All this freebie stuff isn't so easy all the time and im looking for a new way to fund my needs. Maybe i'll get lucky.

1) I've never used online casinos, but I do play poker online )
2) The poker I've played pays out very quickly, but that is winning money from other ppl, not the house.
3) If you can't afford $50 at a time, then it's probably not worth doing.
4) It is very hard to find ways to fund online gambling accounts now, but it can be done. You just need to read around a little to figure out how.

Yes, I have been paid out from online casinos. I miss them. ( I don't participate in online casinos anymore, since the new regulations in the US.
As to how to fund them, I think you would have to ask support what US friendly deposit methods they have.

1. Sportsbook.com is definitely legitimate and will pay you if you win, but unless you're sportsbetting there are better alternatives.

2. Yes, you actually get paid assuming you win at the vast majority of online casinos. Some rooms, however, require you to clear a bonus before you can cash out, that is unless you decline the bonus.

3. Winning in casinos is fairly difficult unless you're 'bonus whoring'. Bonus whoring however, can be quite lucrative but with the new gambling laws your room selections are more limited.

Back when Starluck Casino and Planet Luck were available to the USA, I made $350 profit off of a $100 deposit taking advantage of their 100% deposit bonus and a $50 bonus from CasinoCashUnlimited. Unfortunately however, most deals like this have all moved offshore with the gambling legislature that was passed last year.

4. All depends on the debit card, some will work and some will not. I know of two deposit methods other than debit cards that still work in some online casinos - ePassporte (www.epassporte.com) and eWalletXpress (www.ewalletxpress.com).

Furthurmore, I'd recommend PMing 'justinag06' on these forums about this topic, he knows what he's doing and got me into this stuff originally.

Online casinos are a rip first of all just like the brick and mortar ones if your looking to have fun $50 bucks will last 30 min at the most. I play poker online and make more money than I ever would at a casino. Just a tip.

Not necessarily. You have to do a lot of research before you can win at online casino's. I have a little strategy i figured out, and I hardly ever lose anything, yet i winn $1000's everytime I play.

Lol yeah right I have tried all those so called "Strategies" and none of them ever work so if you can prove me wrong then let me know.

Well then I feel bad for you shrug

mcgrom

10-07-2007 08:11:22

So your saying you can't prove it?

turbohim

10-07-2007 08:14:53

Lol, yes I could prove it, but explain why I would want too? Also It's just the fact I don't feel like typing it...

I am sorry if I sound cynical but I've been ripped of more than once buy all these so called strategies out there for casinos, you must understand it frustrates and highly upsets me when people can blatantly say they won consistently thousands and then have no proof to back it up or show you some fake proof you try it and loose your money.

turbohim

10-07-2007 08:17:28

Well I don't know what proof you want? My bank statement?

I did not pay for anything for my strategy, it's just common sense at the odd and timing of the particular game.

Someone payed me $50 for a OOD casino site. BingoRoom exactly. All you had to do was deposit $50. So I did and ended up accumulatively winning over $500 just on slots considering it only took two minutes to play! I used ePassporte to fund it.

Well by "online casino" I was talking about online gambling in general. I didn't really know that online poker was kind of a seperate thing from the casino's. As you can tell, im new to all of this. Just recently turned 18, and getting sick of lottery tickets lol.

If any of you guys can help me out with tips for noobs with this, i'd appreciate a PM. +Karma )

Thanks alot!

if ur looking for poker use pokerstars.com, i've used sports book and it has a great casino game selection, but i've never been much into playing games where the odds are against you no matter how good u are...

online casinos used to be a huge take. They would lure you with incentives like free 100% deposit match, and then you would have to wager X ammount of dollars to cash that out. So you would play almost breakeven blackjack and bet $1 to risk very little in a few hours you would have cleared a $100 bonus. I earned a little over $10k from just doing these simple bonuses over an 8 month period.

Most of those casinos closed up shop to american customers back in october though, and the few remaining don't offer the crazy incentives like they used to. Sportsbook had one of the fattest bonuses around too. 10% bonus up to $100 every week while only having to wager 2X(bonus + deposit).

so that meant every thurs you could pop in $1k and after 3 hours of play have $1100 by that monday. They had about 5 skins too offering the same bonus.

bodog.com is open to the USA and has a great poker interface along with sportsbetter.

Ehh.. I signed up on full tilt, deposited $50 and blew it all very fast. It's amazing how into it people are! There was this dude with like 6 Hold em rooms with $60,000 in each one just waiting for someone to play him. Rich bastard.

I tried to make another deposit this morning on full tilt, using the same debit card I used to make my first deposit, and it wouldn't go through so maybe ill try a new site.

I use ultimate bet, I haven't deposited in awhile though... When I did last it showed up as a charge from Ireland, don't know if that's how they get around it. Last time I played for money was when they sent me $20 free to come back...
