I’m curious, which games did everyone here start with when they first tried a casino?

You made a couple of good points there.
I personally started with blackjack. A 1st time that turned into disaster (-$900), but that was a long time ago.

True. There's a lot to learn on the forum. Whether from its content or from members of the community and staff as well.
Have you seen the new competition which will start this Saturday? You can join if you want, it's free and a lot of fun, let alone that you can win some nice prizes.


It's a good idea to subscribe to the thread so you could easily find it and stay up to date with its development and the scores.

When I have a bonus with a wagering requirement, I usually start by playing live blackjack. If I win, I use those winnings to finish the rest of the wagering requirement on slots. The key is to check the info on each slot and pick the one with the highest theoretical RTP (return to player) I can find. I also make sure I'm playing in a way that gives the smallest house edge. I reduce my bet to the minimum while still getting the highest RTP, which helps lower the variance. It's really tough to meet wagering requirements, but this has been the most effective strategy for me.

Apparently, it looks like a profitable strategy. But when you reduce your wagering to the minimum, don't you think that they want you to invest a certain amount before unlocking the bonus? Just a question.

But why not finish the rest of the wagering on Blackjack itself? Isn't it less risky than Slots?

I think it makes more sense, unless someone "knows" that the Slots would be nicer to their BR :unsure:.

I did, but I hate waiting till the last minute to make sure I qualified, if I don't get a pm (and didn't last time I tried)
then its too late to try again, any way we can be sure in time to try again if necessary?
I've posted many times, but never played a single game or ever got a password.

Not sure what you are on about but if its the weekly casino freeroll then you have to sign-up in the dedicated thread with the finished task for the week. If you are signed up you are in and your name written on the first page.

It might be interesting to include a section on card counting myths vs reality — not teaching systems in detail, but clarifying what’s possible, what’s exaggerated, and how casinos actually respond.

I don't know if counting cards in Blackjack could be associated with "Myths". It is as real as mathematics.

Do you mean you want "lessons" in sports betting?

This has come up before and I believe we do have plans to do a primer on sports betting but it won't be part of the next few lessons we do.
