    Default starluck bonus is now 24x. not 8x

    the starluck bonus is 24x. so you need to wager 4800 dollars to unlock it

    on this site it says 8x (on the starluck review page). i think it has changed.

    or did i deposit using the wrong option?

    lol. it's still profitable. i did it with 86.xx dollars (£50 at very bad exchange rate) and i finished with 120 dollars about 20 minutes ago.

    it takes a good few hours to do and it definitely wasn't time-profit effecient for me. but i will still probably do planetluck next month when i get a neteller account.

    don't start playing blackjack till you have the extra 100 dollars in your account and i think playing single person black jack is better than playing 3 at once. i think it's slightly quicker and there is no timer on you

    Did you play $1 at a time?

    Anyway, the good news is that I probably will know the chart out of my head after 4800 bets

    Or I can just blow it all on the progressive jackpots and become filthy rich...

    I sended them a mail, let's see what they respond, otherwise, it'll be some nights of playing blackjack. :-/

    Thx,

    no i did $2 at a time. and at one point i started playing $3 and then i did a few of 4, 5, 10 and 15. lol. and this was all when i was making 3 bets at a time. i tilted. lol. at one point i would have had less than 5 dollars left if i would have lost all 3 hands.

    anyway, i got my act together joined the single player table and then only did 2 at a time. i had about 70 dollars left at this point. i finished with 120.


    do not play 1 at a time. it will take too long. play 2 at a time. and don't play for more or less whatever happens!

    You gotta remember to always read the terms & conditions before you deposit money. It might take an extra 5 minutes but it's worth it.

    I was under the impression that FTR couldn't be wrong...

    it's a tough bonus to release now. if you are playing $2 a hand at 5 hands a minute = 300 hands an hour. you are wagering $600 per hour. it will take 8 hours to unlock it.

    8 hours for a profit of $76 is $9.5 per hour. not very good. minimum wage is better than that

    either way it's not a lot of money per hour.

    Casinos change their T&C's more then women change their panties/minds. ALWAYS read them before depositing.

    Ah well, blew the 100$... took too many risks, one minute I was up to 350$ then down to 0$. Was boring as hell playing for $1-$2 at a time and it would took ages. Back to poker!

    And btw: played a SnG afterwards, the first hand I received was A6s... and my first reaction was, ah nice I got 17!

    OMG. That was tough.

    Of course I deposited 100$ (almost all my poker bankroll ) without looking to T&C. Imagine my face when I found out that the wagering has changed. It was x8, now it's x24. But.... well, I'm Polish, so I got a special promotion. I had to wager it 48 TIMES!!!

    Started playing with $2 bets (I only needed 4800 bets ), but after 1750 hands I decided that it's getting late, so I changed to $4 (I changed it when I was at $200, in the middle of the swings). Then I played about 1600 hands with $4 bet and in the end wagered $11,000 .

    The bad thing is that it's 5AM in here.
    The good thing is that I'm withdrawing $370 from Starluck :P I was down to $90 but didn't sweat.

    One thing I'm sure of... gambling is not fun at all, it's boring as hell. But I almost quadrupled my bankroll so it was worth it. Good night... or Good morning :/.

    haha. nice one. 48x is a lot! your expected profit is only $52.
    you're lucky. i only had $120 left at cashout. and i lost about $12 when i deposited at starluck because of conversion rates!

    I'm trying casino whoring out too. I recently deposited $100 to Starluck too and I thought I have to wager it 24x (=$2400). But now I'm getting the impression I have to wager the amount I deposited plus the bonus amount which totals $4800. Am I right?

    Quote from Starluck T&C:

    Any deposit that qualifies for a sign up bonus (together the "Total Matched Deposits") must be wagered 24 times (Players from Israel, Poland, Denmark, Romania and Turkey would have to wager 48 times) before cashout.
    Had to read that 3 times before I understood it. Damn... I wish english were my native language.

    I changed the http://www.flopturnriver.com/reviews...uck-Casino.php page so that it now says 24x instead of 8x.

    It would be good if those of you who have played there could post reviews on the page. Remember, to get past the spambot check you use ftr/review as the username/password instead of your forum username/password.

    yes it's 24x wager requirements, as I was told by their support. But that's 24x the deposit and 24x the bonus. So that's 24x $200 equals $4800 manual play.
