No download casinos

2006-09-18T10:07:00.000-07:00

Online casinos offer players the option to download their software or to play at a flash version of their casinos. The no download casinos are becoming ever more popular because inexperienced players are often afraid of viruses, adware or other malware and lack the ability to distinguish between good and bad online casinos. In my lists below I will give you an overview of the most trustworthy online casinos that offer a no download version of their software.

All these casinos are generally agreed upon to be perfectly honest and you won´t find any complaints on the main player boards such as casinomeister or the OPU. They run on Microgaming software and Playtech software. Microgaming developed the first casino software for online gaming and has since established itself as the market leader. Playtech is a publicly quoted provider of gambling software and powers popular casinos such as Kiwi Casino and Golden Palace. For the Flash Casinos you will need the Internet Explorer.

Instant pay casinos

2006-09-13T09:44:00.000-07:00

In the world of online gambling one of the most annoying things are cashouts. They can take from a few hours to weeks (at rogue casinos). There is a select group of casinos that offer instant cashouts. Rather than having to wait days or weeks for your money to arrive, you can withdraw it and it will appear immediately in your account.

Highroller Lounge recommends these casinos for instant cashouts:

Risk free casino bonuses

2006-09-11T15:58:00.000-07:00

The best way to try online gambling is to take advantage of a casino bonus. However many are quite restrictive and hard to get. This disadvantage is often outweighed by high bonus amounts coupled with relatively low wagering requirements.

Now there are two bonuses that you can withdraw at any time and that have no wagering requirement at all! That´s the perfect promotion for any gambling newbie to get their feet wet. Tell me how it went. Good luck!

Be a VIP bonus whore at VIPCasino.com!

2006-09-09T09:08:00.000-07:00

VIPCasino.com has been in business since 1999 and runs on the cryptologic gaming software. In terms of risk this bonus is probably the best. You cannot lose a single cent as you can withdraw your deposit once you´ve lost the bonus. The match bonus is 50% up to a $ 100. Hence you need a Neteller account and deposit $ 200. I played a little more aggressively on this one to meet the wagering requirement (100*25=2500) as you have a chance to win big. In case you lose your bonus you can withdraw. That´s what I ended up doing. There are more casinos where you can do this but most of the time your account will be flagged for bonus abuse, not here. Another nice feature is that once you register as a real player and deposit your $ 200 your bonus will be automatically credited.

This bonus gives you an expected value of $ 87 which is quite nice for a free bonus, isn´t it? You can either play single or multi hand blackjack. As this bonus is riskfree you can do one of two things. Wager methodically using the blackjack $1 a hand strategy following the strategy chart and get the most of the $100 bonus. Alternatively, as you don´t have anything to loose you can decide to bet aggressively on some of the games with a higher house edge such as keno, let it ride, scratch cards or slots games. Baccarat,craps, and roulette are excluded for meeting the bonus requirement. My tip for the day again would be to have a go at the highest current jackpot on the millionaire´s club progressive slot machine which stands at $ 4.2 million.

GOOD LUCK and tell me how you did in the comments.

Targeting the intercasino bonus.

2006-09-08T16:52:00.000-07:00

Intercasino is a top notch casino powered by the Cyptologic software suite. The two deciding factors that make this a bonus whore attraction are its extraordinarily high monthly reload bonuses ($100) and the fact that they allow blackjack wagering. The monthly bonuses plus the $ 100 signup bonuses amount to an annual total of $ 1300. Pretty good money by most standards. The month you sign up with the casino you won´t be eligible for a monthly bonus. In order to track monthly reload bonuses I will post somewhere specifically.

When you deposit your $ 100 via neteller or another electronic payment system you will have to wager the matching bonus of $100, 25 times - $2500 altogether. In the cashier section of the casino software there is a button labeled "My Promotions" where you can check how much you have left to wager.

This bonus gives you an expected value of $ 87 which is quite nice for a free bonus, isn´t it? You can either play single or multi hand blackjack. The latter lets you clear your wagering requirement faster. The bonus code for the Dollar matching bonus is SUPSEPDL. I played the multihand blackjack and managed to come in at $ 205. Needless to say, I was well chuffed. There was only a day and a half between depositing and withdrawing. Really, something you can do on the side to earn a little extra cash. I will give you the single player blackjack strategy card for the cryptologic rules and once again must remind you that sticking to it is imperative if you want to win! By the way, you can also play at the Uk Intercasino (crappy bonus/50£) or the German, Spanish, Italian, or French version with € 100 bonus which is nice if you live in Euroland.

In case you have met your wagering requirement and have come up in the plus you may give the millionaire´s club progressive slot machine a try. It´s jackpot stands at $ 4.2 million. That´s the highest jackpot in online casino history. Beware, only wager money you can afford to lose as the odds on slots are worse than blackjack. Set a budget.

GOOD LUCK and tell me how you did in the comments.

Royal Vegas 200 free spins beta test

2006-09-07T12:13:00.000-07:00

Today I stumbled over this new promotion by Royal Vegas. I checked out the T&C and I must say this offer really beats all casino bonuses I know of (and I know many). It is a very limited time offer only and I´m told it will only be open for a few days so you´ve got to be quick. The beta testers are supposed to test the software and the server load capacity.

After downloading the microgaming casino software from Royal Vegas, you need to open a real account which will be credited with 200 free casino credits corresponding to either 200 Pounds, Euros or Dollars. You may only play slots excluding progressives, and you must wager the 200 $/€/£ at least once! This is officially the lowest wagering requirement of any online casino. Most other casinos require you to wager 20, 30 or 40 times your bonus amount.

In oder to transfer your winnings you need to purchase $ 20 with your real account but that should be well worth it if you manage to win on your initial $ 200. If not you don´t have to purchase anything. One tip I can give you is to only wager one credit, i.e. $ 1 per spin. That way you will have the highest chance of winning.

Just be totally sure you are not in for any surprises please read the terms and conditions of the beta test again. GOOD LUCK and post in the comments how it went.

If you need some recommendations as to the slots you´ll be playing check out my reviews below!

Update: I´ve received feedback about the bonus terms and conditions. Once you´ve wagered the 200$ once you need to deposit $25 and then wager 30 times the $200 on slots, parlour, or American roulette. I think as you are given the bonus and can withdraw your cash at any time this is still a great offer. I´m currently fulfilling my wagering requirement and am hoping to walk away with quite a bit of money at the end of it. After all you are playing with somebody elses money.

My favourite free spins offer is 7 Sultans which takes less time, also gives you $200 and you only need to wager 20 times!

Onlinecasino.com -join the bonus whore party

2006-09-07T09:43:00.000-07:00

As online casino and golden palace are from the same casino group I pretty much copied and pasted this review and replaced the important bits such as the promo code. I ended up with £ 270 by sticking to the strategy.

Prepare - OnlineCasino.com´s bonus up to $ 300 or 300 % is very competitve. I must warn you that there is a very slight statistical chance that you will loose your money but from my own experience I can tell you this hasn´t happened to me. As the house edge almost always materializes within the first 100 hands you play. In order to keep track of your wagering, write down how many hands you played and what you wagered for each. To begin your bonus quest you need an My Citadel account and $ 200 in your bank account.

Whoring the bonus - OnlineCasino.com´s bonuses are available in all currencies so we are trying to sign up for the Pound bonus. This will increase your bonus to $ 570. Quite a nice increase over the $ 300 bonus, huh ;-) If you live in Euroland you can also get a higher bonus this way. Check the current conversion rates at Oanda.com . To deposit use My Citadel as they have a nice currency conversion tool and you can fund your account with Dollars. On the OnlineCasino.com homepage there are currency symbols in the top right hand corner. Click on the British Pounds symbol.

Now deposit $ 200 in your My Citadel account (you are only eligible for the bonus if you deposit with My Citadel!) which will suffice to cover the £100 deposit. Download the casino software and follow these steps:

Launch the casino software by clicking on the desktop icon. Select "Play for Real Money" and click on "create account". By completing the registration form you will receive your username and password.

To deposit log into your casino account with your username and password. Next click on "cashier" and then "deposit".

Now you have to contact customer service toll-free at 1-877-516-6681 and claim Promo code A4002.

To speed up processing you need to have your Real Play Username ready. Users outside of North America can dial other numbers you will find them on OnlineCasino´s website.

The bonus should appear after your call. The wagering requirement is 20 times bonus plus deposit which adds up to (£100 + £300) * 20 = 8000. In order to be on the mathematically safe side I strongly suggest you make £ 1 bets. If you get bored you may increase to £ 5 but don´t leave the beaten path and be disciplined! Statistically your odds are to lose every 50th hand but this can be worse or better depending on how many hands you play. One handy feat is their comp system which keeps track of your wagering. Every £10 wagered will give you one comp point which means you will have met your wagering requirement by reaching 800 comp points. In addition 100 comp points are converted to 1. So you will get an extra £ 8 - thank you very much!

All told you should have made a handsome profit by the time you finish the wagering requirement. It will range between £200-£350 or $380-$665

In order to receive your cashout you need to fax or scan a few id documents in order to verify your identity. You should then be able to withdraw to your My Citadel account.

Here is the Strategy Card for the blackjack you´ll be playing - stick to it! Pease tell me about your experiences in the comments! You can also go directly to the flash version of OnlineCasino or download the OnlineCasino software from me.

N.B. In their terms and conditions Goldenpalace states that you can only claim this bonus at one of their group´s casinos. Flamingo, Aspinalls, Grandonline, 24ktGold, are ok but Goldenpalace and onlinecasino.com are the best by a margin. The walk through for onlinecasino.com will be my next priority. So, remember you can only claim this bonus once!

Bonus whore - excuse me?!

2006-09-06T05:37:00.000-07:00

The above expression may take some getting used to but if you decide to become one you can earn quite a lot of money for free. A bonus whore can make between a few hundred Dollars up to a $ 1000 in a single month depending on how active they are. As these casino bonuses are usually available in Pounds and Euros you can take part if you reside in the Eurozone or the UK. So what is bonus whoring and how does it work? Casinos give generous bonuses in order to acquire new players and expand their business. Even though the online casinos are giving away a lot of cash to players it is still a winning proposition for them. This is due to the house edge which is the mathematical advantage the bank/house has over players when games of chance are played. For instance if a casino reports a 95% payout on a slot game that means that you have a 95% chance of winning when you spin and again a 95% chance of winning on your next spin and so on.

When you wager a $1 coin on a slot machine the casino´s expected value will be 0.05 $, i.e. for 2000 pulls the expected value will be $100 (0.05 $ * 2000). If you started with a $300 you would be down to $200.

As you are a clever bonus whore however, you will play the casino game with the smallest house edge and play according to a mathematically perfect strategy. Classic Blackjack only has a house edge of 0.5% compared to the 5% of slots. By and large casinos are on the top of their game and not many allow you to play blackjack to meet the wagering requirement. When you sign up to any of these please use my affiliate links as I have had a longstanding relationship with these online casinos and you can rest assured I will back your cause in the unlikely event of a dispute.

My first bonus whore review will be on the infamous Golden Palace Casino. Time to take revenge for all those flabby streakers your eyes had to put up with over the years ;-)

No deposit bonus casinos - 7 Sultans

2006-08-31T08:00:00.000-07:00

7 Sultans no deposit bonus is slightly different from Mummy´s Gold´s or the Tiger Casino´s bonus offer. Whereas the latter two each offer you 1 hour of freeplay, 7 Sultans offers you 15 minutes for free. You will be given $ 500 in casino credits. Here is my no deposit walkthrough for you:

Follow my link to their 15 minutes free page, provide a valid email address and download their special casino software which will give you access to the free time promotion. You need to register a Real account in order to qualify for the free time. It is important that you provide the same email address during the registration process.

You can keep your winnings after 15 minutes up to a maximum of $ 200. Your winnings can be transfered to your real account by pressing the button that will appear after the 15 minutes are up. You will onl qualify if you bet the required amount of $ 100!
Once you transfer your winnings you need to make a minimum deposit of $ 20 into your real account.

Your entry page to 7 Sultans´ free time promotion

A few closing remarks before you can try it for yourself. The wagering requirements on the bonus plus your free minutes winnings is 20 times. To see which games qualify for play through please consult the Terms & Conditions. Blackjack counts towards 20% of the wagering requirements which is way more competitive than some other casinos which only give you 2%. All in all the generosity of the $ 200 maximum offer coupled with a 20 times wagering requirement makes this one of the best no deposit bonuses in the industry.

Just make sure you really wager between $ 100-300. What do you have to loose if you start off with $ 500 and can only keep $ 200 maximum ;-) ? As always I wish you good luck and please post your results in the comments!
