I continued playing slot with the $16, and soon, I had up to $55 in total amount won, I was really happy and hopeful that before I did lose all $55, I would have won much to enable me complete the wager requirement and possibly walk out in profit.

But unfortunately, I ended up losing the entire $55 dollar while I still had about $582 dollar in wager requirement, I am not confident enough to deposit and continue chasing, so I'm giving up.

I've never been lucky with slot games, never, and I am not pleased about it to be honest.
What about you?

First of all, thanks for providing information regarding the promotional code from BTCGOSU, I have claimed it and got around $ 10 at Sweet Bonanza Grin. Ok, back to the topic, IMO, you're not smart enough in determining your steps. Slots is a game that doesn't require any strategy, it's purely about luck. So, if your goal is to make a withdrawal from the bonus you got, why not stop playing on slots and use the bonus balance in their original games? Don't expect much from slots, I don't know how people here experience slots, but if it were me personally, I wouldn't be all in on slots.

Yeah, I personally feel that slot games are a complete waste of time and money most of the time, I got this bonus from btcgosu's partnership with BetFury which awarded me a 77 free spins.
I do think bonus free spins aren't winning most of the time and they end up losing maybe like 75% out of it are just gonna lose, 77 free spins and you just manage to win a decent amount I think that's already written if it's just free. Well, it's difficult to win with luck based games so I doubt my luck in the first place as well. What's more frustrating is that the wager requirement and you're not a high roller you really will end up losing all the bankroll in the end.
The slots machines is like a bonus round for casinos as they make more money thru the small time gamblers and yes, winning here will always be based on your luck. This its not a total waste of time as it serve its purpose to entertain gamblers and winning to some is just s bonus for them. Many gambler are still prefer to gamble with slots, they see this as a more convenient way to gamble the same thing in the traditional casinos.

Have you never been lucky with slot games?

Here's a question: How often do you play these games? If you've only played a few times, I don't think you should make such a statement. Also, during your attempts to complete the wagering requirements, what was the value of your bets per spin? This factor also matters.

Calling slots a complete waste of time just because you didn't win seems a bit contradictory, especially when you mentioned being happy. Isn't that reason enough not to label these games as a complete waste of time?

Some people enjoy playing slots, so I don't think they consider it a waste of time even if they lose most of the time. Anyway, we all have different views on how we perceive things.

Better luck next time!

Just bear with it  Grin, you are not the only one getting frustraed trying to meet the requirement of a free spin to withdraw,  I experienced it so many times that I come to a conclusion to ignore promos and bonuses due to wagering requirement.

Not that much lucky, but still experience a decent winning amount.  So my attitude towards gambling is neutral.  It can waste our time as much as it can give us huge wins.

This is another sign that casinos are also businesses and not a free money house and most of this promotions are to draw more attentions and customers to themselves that’s why most wagering requirements are very strict and end up draining money from players and I think at some point , most of these promotions only end up making players chase after losses and blowing their accounts and I think knowing when to stop when a game isn’t going in our favour especially in slot games is one major skill that will help to keep a player profitable in the industry.

Is this really about the slot games or what we ourselves know about gambling, if we are playing slot, then we should understand well the requirements for playing this game which is basically by luck, we cannot compare this kind of game to sport bets or any other forms of games we do play in gambling, if we say that slot game is all about waste of time and money, what about the fun we have in being entertained, does that not cover up for the value of money lost or time used in playing slot.

I can understand your displeasure and why you were quick to jump into this conclusion that slot games are a waste of time and money, but you have to know that if everyone feels the same way towards it, it will not take time before it goes out of play, but it will not happen so because there are people who particularly have slots as their thing, and love it. To these people, they can never see it as a waste of time and money, but rather they see it as the only game that they can catch their fun on.

Opinions vary, and that is what makes this life beautiful.

This is a pure luck based game and a machine generated result which the system favors the house so technically, winning here is like hitting the jackpot that can only happen once in a while. This kind of betting machine can’t guarantee any profit and yes this could be a waste of time of money but still many finds this game interesting and more fun to gamble with. If you can see, most of the gambler in casinos are playing slot machines maybe because its easy to play and easy to understand.

It's fun while it lasts.  Grin

Well, we have different opinions about the game especially when we're happy and winning and also, when we're disappointed and losing.

It's fun, not a waste of time and resources when we're winning. But when we're losing then we have the same opinion that it's not really fun and just a waste of time and money.

I guess it all lies down to the results that we're having pertaining in playing the slots or any games that we like at first and then loses our interest when something good isn't coming.
I think you really do make sense, and I agree with you though. But again, understand that, in as much as I don't usually win constantly on sports betting, I really will never say or have this same opinion for sports betting, and it's not because I win it constantly, like I said before, but rather, it's because in sports betting, the game gives a gambler this feeling that he or she, and his or her knowledge in sports are in control of his or her winning or loses, so here, we don't really blame anyone if we lose, but rather blame ourselves for not being able to correctly guess the outcome of the game.

But in slot, the feeling is different, due to a constant loses and very few winnings, some time, I do feel that slot games are not fair on gamblers, even when casinos advertise this games to be completely and probably fair.
That's part of the marketing that they're telling that it's fair and will even say that you can verify your games if they've got seeds of it for proof. But most of these luck based games including the slots are totally programmed to make the house wins.

And the thing is, even if we all knew that they're programmed like that. We are still curious to gamble and play on it and keep going until it's no longer fun and yeah, that's because we're losing on it.

Unlike the games like sports betting, poker and other the same games that requires you to analyze. The feeling of playing them is truly different even if you go on a losing streak.

I remember spending 4hrs of auto spin on slot game and end up in more than 50% loss to my bankroll plus migraine due to the animation.  Cheesy
You are sure going to lose if you continue using auto spin in your bets,  because this will only bring your bankroll liquidity closer than ever,  and the fastest means to burn out all the money in your balance,  in like the manual spinning which gives you the chances to at least have a reflection on your previous spin and decide whether to take a break or continue.

But in auto spin mode,  you are only kick out of the slot machine when you balance level reaches the zero zone and you have no more funds to continue spinning.

I did get that GOSU77 free spins but i do really just end up on on getting $10. They did really have that 40-50x wagering requirement i guess
which it is really just that too far off but its not something that im expecting considering those free spins arent really that something big but well its better to have that
way since its just free. You cant really be able to get that free spins on day by day on which be grateful at least that they are giving those free spins.
I did play on Sweet bonanza but just as expected, its not my lucky day. I do really suck at slots.  Tongue

I never experienced winning that much in slots and other pure luck based games. You'd sometimes win but loss is bigger in the long run. There are people who still enjoys playing such gambling game category and I don't invalidate them since we have our own preferences. If they do loge playing it then that's fine. But personally, I am not into it. I prefer sportsbetting more but I did experienced playing slots and other gambling games before. Going back, are slot games a waste of time? To some it is but to others it is not. Let us allow people to enjoy things on their own 'coz we have our own money and we have the rights to use it to something we prefer for ourselves.m whether it is slots or sportsbetting.

Slot games are very tricky and there's no system or strategy as with pretty much any game of chance.
Being patient or betting persistently is only going to make you lose slower and with a more steady pace actually.

Often times the aim of playing slots is to get a high multiplier, but the chances to get such multiplier are so slim that it doesn't matter what the statistics say about RTP or volatility.
As with any game, you should just play slots with amounts you can afford to lose and for the thrill of it, nothing more.
Also, a big mistake people make with slots is to actually go after big wins others make. We have to keep in mind that these wins are often made with money given from the casino's marketing team and it's not unlikely that the seed given to these public players like streamers isn't entirely random too. So all in all, slots might seem appealing, but those actually after good chances to win would be better off with games like crash, dice or even robot blackjack. When looking to win, actually go after the lower house edge other than a game's looks. Wink

Not worth my time, energy or money. That's why I don't play slots. It's the most effective way to loss all your money. 77 free spins and you still loss all? I think, even if you had 1000 free spins you won't be able to fill up your minimum withdrawal amount. Try to approach a different games, where your winning chances can  be higher than slots. Smiley

You're expecting slot winnings from free spins by finishing wagered $750? That's pretty tough mate, I know for sure with free spins to finish will be able to find it but of course it will be difficult and you become frustrated.

Don't be too hopeful even though it's luck for me it's hard to finish unless you add more capital but in reality it won't dare because you know you will lose all the money.
I also very rarely play in slots with big wins maybe it's not time to get lucky. LOL But I know this is only limited to entertainment and always finish losing it with small money. Cheesy

Btw, I checked Betfury not only gives spins from BTCGOSU partnership but new users can get 100 spins without depositing.

You got your greed going big, mate. You should be able to stop after getting that $55 because not many can get that amount of money, and you are one of the lucky ones. And with a wagering requirement of $582, that seems like a lot, but if you give up, that's good for you because at least you don't have to lose any more dollars.

I also rarely get luck from slot games. That's why I always limit my slot play. Usually, I buy a Bonus with a minimum bet or spin the spin XX times. But that also can't bring me luck because I know that slot games depend on our luck.

Bonus is still available for anyone to claim on https://www.btcgosu.com/blog/news/unleash-the-black-friday-magic-get-77-free-spins-with-code-gosu77-at-betfury/

I played slot game with the free spin and ended up with a total win of $16, but also hammered with a wager requirement of about $750 before I did be able to withdraw.

I continued playing slot with the $16, and soon, I had up to $55 in total amount won, I was really happy and hopeful that before I did lose all $55, I would have won much to enable me complete the wager requirement and possibly walk out in profit.

But unfortunately, I ended up losing the entire $55 dollar while I still had about $582 dollar in wager requirement, I am not confident enough to deposit and continue chasing, so I'm giving up.

What about you?
I have once in my life actually managed to withdraw something like 70 bucks i won just by getting free spins by joining. Requirements to gamble weren't too bad, but i can't even remember what casino it was. Later after that i took some free bonus offers and realized how rare those opportunities are. Either requirements are beyond ridiculous or i am just not winning anything.

But in slots overall i have been dangerously lucky. I recently stopped winning and decided i needed to take a break. And what i mean by dangerously lucky is that when you are winning a lot, you get hooked. And start to believe it's more common or easy to win. This make you put more and more money in until reality hits, and it often hits when it's too late and i wanted to gamble more to get ath again. Or even back to the starting point. I have learned the hard way that gambling more to win back your money isn't a good attitude, so i am just taking a break from slots. I will eventually play them again, but now i've changed to sports betting.
