Gonna be very hard on Stars but with Unibet and their 1000x (instead of 10 000x) jackpot you can. The jackpot is actually possible to hit and not a literal lotto.

PartyPoker is also great Spins site.. they have 10 000x jackpot sadly but they got leaderboards and amazing rakeback

I think it depends on how good player you are relative to the stakes you are playing. You probably don't need to be that good to make a few dollars playing 25 cent buy ins but you won't make much either.

Yes, I am profitable, I like this form of play. I played a lot at $15-$30.
I had a maximum multiplier when this game came out on the PS, I remember it was $54k. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to win and I had two $3k games.

Is not easy, but I've seen regular spin and go players with a good profit. I even remember reporting one of them because I was sure he was a bot 🤣 It turned out that he was not.

I don't know . I have played a tone of 0.25$ spins trying to complete challenges and missions or to get the power path ticket . I try to move up stakes , to play better spins games , but I have no success .
 
No idea since I have only played very few Spin n Gos. But its worth noting, that none of the players topping the sharkscope SnG leaderboard, are Spin n Go players. They all play heads-up or other more traditional SnG formats. Which gives a pretty good indication, where its most easy to make money 🙂

Because the variance has driven all the Spin and Go's players crazy.

Just think of sitting and playing them 8 hours a day almost every day for years.

Takes a "special" kind of mind.

In fairness its not really all that different to play other SnG formats 8 hours a day for years. Especially not other hyperturbo formats. And we do see heads-up and other hyperturbo SnG players at the top of the leaderboard. This guy for instance is number 4 on the leaderboard for 2024 across sites, and he basically made all his money in hyperturbo 6-man SnGs. Interestingly he did play 444 $50 Spin n Gos but lost money in those perhaps due to not hitting the jackpot multipliers. So a pretty good example, that Spin n Gos are not, where SnG grinders make their money in 2024.

Hello. I don't think it's possible in the long run. But I draw conclusions based on my results, playing SNG on PokerStars for 0.25 cents, either to win a ticket or slightly improve my bankroll - and it works. Because the multiplication is such that playing for several hours, it may be possible to invest more than to win. I also consider the game at these short tables as training for playing at the final tables of MTT tournaments, where I sometimes got lost by choosing the wrong strategy. But I repeat - this is my opinion and I could be wrong.
 
I think it can be done, but as long as you know what you are doing and I am referring to planning, strategy, investment, knowledge (knowing how you are going to play), knowing how to stop when the variance is against you and many other things that are not I know but they are surely necessary
 
I think that at the limit of 0.25 and 1$ dollars this is possible because there are too many very bad players playing there!!!

43+% winning rate, and you are the King!
difficult to achieve I guess.. I was on 40 % some weeks ago I usually play only the free tickets at GG, but when you have a bad run, it is hard to get back in that range..

do you?

To me is difficult to make good profits in spin games, but it is necessary to practice and study a lot to obtain good long-term results in this type of game. I don't have much luck with multipliers too.. 90% are x2.. 🙁

I guess there's a strategy for any format . I however haven't found it yet. I am though profitable at AllinOrFold format over at GG ( PLO only where jam or not starts at flop, unlike nlhe where you have to jam or fold preflop ofc )

Hi
Of course not 🙂
These tournaments are bingo, who will be luckier and take the money. Today you, tomorrow your opponents. These are not the tournaments you can rely on as a source of constant and stable profit.

One time I had around $1.65 on PS and I started playing Spin&Go. Initially I played the 0.25 ones, then I reached $3 and started playing the $1 ones. I won a $5 ticket on the leaderboard and with it I won $15 and my balance at this point was already close to $40. I continued advancing and in about a week I jumped to $110. So I thought, when I get to $120 I'm going to withdraw $100 and leave $20 and start all over again. It seems that the PS heard my thoughts. In about 3 days the $110 melted and I ended up not withdrawing anything...
 
I dont think so,i can be profitable in the early term,but the more i play,the more agressive i get and i dont know,i think i just tilt if i play spin e go for a long time,i dont know why,maybe if i tried harder or studied more i could be profitable in long term,but it just seems really hard to keep playing the same game in the first 30 minutes and then in the hours after.
God bless
