Up a little early this morning. Checked the message boards, then the new bonuses. Looks like some good ones just went up. Usually the office schedule keeps me from spending much time playing but this week is gonna be different. The boss is off to Vegas and I've got the run of the place. We're gonna play some catch-up on our gaming!
But first Deano and I head out for our morning stroll. He's a black Staffordshire --think of a Pit Bull in an Armani tux-- and sometimes I think he's smarter than I am. It ain't him who gets out of bed to walk me at 5 in the morning!
7:10 AM
Stroll done, Deano's gone back to sleep but it's time for me to hit the web again.
Bonuses, bonuses. Everybody has one these days but, y'know, they ain't all created equal! My game is to play at good casinos, take the bonuses when they're available and have some fun. Of course Intercasino is continuing their monthly Match Bonus. And Lasseters still has Mega Mondays going --for every $25 you play they enter your name into a draw for over $1300 in prize bonus dollars -- so there's two decent options off the top. I troll around our Bonus Directory to see if there's anything else that looks sweet.
There's been a lot of heat and smoke about "Bonus hunters" and "Bonus abusers" and all that rot this past year or so. I think a lot of it is crumbing about nothing, at least as far as bonus "hunting" goes. Would people offer you a savings on your cornflakes or a free car wash and then hassle you if you took them up on it? No, of course not! Same goes for the casinos IMHO. Offer it or don't offer it but don't try and jerk me around if I take you up on it and play by the rules.
As far as bonus abuse goes though, that's a different thing. Multiple accounts, opening an account just to get the bonus and then buggering off, etc. Things like that aren't good for anyone and I can see where the casinos get a bit hostile over such things.

This is a great job! I've played a little at Lasseters in order to qualify a few times for Mega Mondays. Sure it's a long shot but there are no game restrictions so why not? And I've made my deposit at Intercasino to get the Match Bonus. $80 for $80 ain't bad, and you can do it every month! I'll add another couple hundred just to make sure I've got some playing money. It's always a good idea to keep your eye peeled for those Match bonuses. $80 isn't that large but I've seen them as high as $250. Yowza!

Deano is chasing his tennis ball around the office while I log in, delete a bunch of spam, and fire a quick one off to the boss in Vegas.
The rules on this Match deposit are pretty standard but you gotta read the rules before you start. No exceptions on that! So it's 20 times playthrough; Craps, Baccarat and Roulette excluded. I'm not wild about the exclusion of Craps since it's one of my games --yes Virginia, Uncle Max said "max those Odds bets"-- but what are you gonna do? BJ is good enough for me, maybe a little VP. Doesn't take long to meet the requirements if you play basic strategy and stick to it. My buddy DJ likes to play Blackjack fast and loose but I'm always the one who ends up buying the beers at the end of the day. I win --usually-- and he looses --almost always-- so what does that tell you?
Folks are starting to wander into the office so I call Deano in and point to his blankey in the corner. He pouts a little but over he goes. Good doggie!

Day's done and I've just finished my playthrough on the Match bonus. I'm up $175 on the day. Not bad, and enough to give DJ a hard time. I'll withdraw the winnings but I'll leave some in to play tomorrow. As with all Crypto casinos you need your PIN to get your dough. Yes, it took 3 weeks to get the thing by snail mail in the first place but that was almost two years ago so what do I care now? Been there, done that ... and I've never had a problem with any of my transactions. If a PIN is good enough for the banks then it's good enough for a casino!
C'mon Deano! Let's blow this popsicle stand. He's already at the door with his tennis ball patiently waiting for me to get my act together. Dog's no dummy.
