I haven't done any casino whoring....but I've always assumed it was a lot less effort than poker whoring but with much larger variance/risk associated with it. I know there are a few like the IGM and 888 who's bonus are relatively low risk, but some of the other ones seem as though the risk of ruin is higher than what I would like it to be.

There is VERY little risk to busting out on a lot of the casino bonuses out there. Starluck, Planetluck, William Hill, Intercasino, etc all have fairly low wager requirements. If you bet the minimum, given the houses edge puts you around $90 profit for the 100% on $100 casinos...

Because most people aren't disciplined enough to stick to the minimum bet. I almost busted out of one where i did that, but managed to get my head on straight and grind out the bonus with the minimum $1 bet.

Also, avoid the sticky bonuses (Golden Palace, etc) to start off with. I'm not trying to make any money off of anyone here. I've had a good experience with casino bonuses and want to help you boost your eggroll. The key is discipline, plain and simple.

Spidey, I understand the premise behind whoring casinos, and I may do so myself, however casinos take longer to clear, do they not? I mean, I 4 table at a poker site and in 3 hours I have my bonus.

Also, like I said, casinos online drop like flies. I don't hear of too too many poker sites that do the same.

In any event, whoring at poker sites is just such easy money. I will leave the office this evening feeling very confident I will make $100 US + this evening simply sitting down and playing about 500 hands. Anything I win at the tables is in excess.

Geoff...it takes about 3 hours to clear most of the casinos I listed. Intercasino has a monthly reload of 90-100. Easy clear.
