Curious on my lucky..... or unlucky streak

Hey No Luck Needer's. I recently posted on how I play the freeroll tournaments, as well as my normal play habits. Shortly after that post, I was hit hard with... I believe 3, but maybe 2 promo recindance. It started about last year from Grande Vegas. Probably by far my favorite casino. After I admitted such. I lost promotions. They said I won too much. What irked me, was that I lost my ViP status in less time than they claimed to grant it. So, ALL my promos were taken at once. I mean... If your going to take the promos, take the ones from those not yet gifted. It almost feels as if casinos don't want you to win. And another thing. Most people wont use promos, because of the wager requirments. Which are no easy task to overcome. But any who. The second casino was Sloto Cash about 3 months ago. Again... no notice. Just restricted. That one hurt because it was my 2nd magazine full of promos, and only got to the end of the 2nd month. Lost all the fun promos. About a month ago, I lost all promos from Inetbet. Which they said I used, a lot of promo's, which there weekly match promos were, "use unlimited amount of times".
I actually think the reason I got restricted from Inetbet, was because I had some words with a CSR there, on how they wrongfully disqualified my from the tournaments. And that they shorted me on a free chip win. The fact the CSR was unwilling to help or try to get another opinion, on the policies. Is why I got heated. They were just very lazy. But I did cash in the top 5 on most tournaments at Inet, so maybe they thought I was cheating or something. And last but not least. I lost my promos from Cafecasino. Now this sucked, as I was holding $135 on perk bonuses to play after my cashout of $2500. The 1st day of withdraw review, it was deemed I was too skilled of a player to receive bonuses. Like I said before. At least leave me what I earned. But other than that, it says that you will never lose your status of perk level. That also was a lie. So I just really despise, these casinos doing as they please to better their odds. I mean they already have a house advantage. Why pad their odds more. But the real reason for sharing this post, is to see if it truly is the strategy I use or if I just been super lucky. (Or I gamble WAY TOO MUCH)

Thanks for your time NLN'ers

IcyDragon7, iNetBet has always had bad customer service, I'm sorry about that. You are not missing anything by not playing there.

I got blocked from tourneys at Red Stag because I played them and won many times without ever depositing more than $25 or $50. This is a common thing.

I would be happy to ask for manual account reviews at Slotocash and Grande Vegas for you if you send me your casino ids by private message. Sometimes the casinos will overturn bonus blocks. Also, they fall off after a time if you play without bonus. Sometimes a bonus blocked player can claim smaller bonuses, but not freebies.

The RTG system that does the bonus blocking is automatic, but you can ask for a "manual manager account review" by email. It is not about cheating really. If they think you cheat your account will get fully banned. But the casinos are a business and that means they exist so that they can make money. Some players are smart and cashout a lot. That's good and casinos do not mind winners, but they will sometimes cut off bonus. Wins are always better than bonus in my opinion!

Each casino has a little bit different "setting" if you will, meaning what will get you bonus blocked. Usually is it cashing out a lot more than you deposit, but you can also get blocked for having a high bonus ratio. Which means with every deposit you always get a high bonus and then claim a freebie. You may consider playing without a bonus and then claiming cashback, ask if that is available. I only play with cashback these days, not deposit bonuses, because I do not like bonus rules attached to my deposit and I play a lot of video poker.

Thanks TDTAT, sounds pretty comprehensible. I guess the main reason I like the bonus' are because I have a bit of a larger cushion to fill out the way the game likes to pay. As I shared in my ways, of play. I will sit and watch how the pays are on the minimum bet, with line fluctuations. I tend to see how the pays go up or down on a multiplicative of a certain sum. Say I'm betting .23 on a 25 line slot and I see that it payed like .60 on a $18.40 balance, then a bit later it pays like $2.40 on like $16.03 balance or something close too.. I would assume that I found a fairly sweet spot on they pay/wager multiplicative. So I try and land on a divisible sum of the balance vs an even multiplier of my wager. Hoping it hits big. If you play with this strategy, you can see the wins dancing around a certain sum of the balance. And if you get close, to what I feel is the mega wins. You get a decent big win. But if you manage to Land that spot on. Then you get lucky and hit a $800 win off a .25 bet. So, I guess they are right to take my bonuses away, as I am sure that they have seen, I usually fulfill play troughs. I was thinking of setting up a twitch account to share these play styles. As I feel that with more insight. A more refined strategy could be created.

But thanks for the reasonable and respected, perspective on these past experiences of mine. (Still feels like I got grounded..) Ha. Ha. :P

You really don't need to look into the bonuses for me, thanks anyways. But just so you know. IcyDragon7 is my id anywhere and everywhere I can have it. I think I had that gamer tag from PS2 or so... lol

IcyDragon7, That is quite interesting. I suppose it falls into what is called advantage play. This is kind of like brick and mortar casinos with card counting. It is not illegal to count cards, but the casinos will ban you if they catch you doing it because it hurts their profits.

The online casinos do the same. If there is a way to exploit bonuses, lots of people are going to do it and the casinos can either lose money or close the loophole (in this case take away bonus). When I first started playing over a decade ago, it was the wild west. Casinos gave so many free chips and the rules were so loose that it was easy to beat them without ever depositing $1. They have wised up. Sometimes whole countries are blocked from bonus.

If you feel like writing an article for noluckneeded about your playing style it would be great. Or if you make a video let me know! But I must say that "slot systems" and "gambling systems" are bull in my opinion. Confirmation bias makes us see what confirms our beliefs and ignore what doesn't. But then I do not know everything and maybe the algorithms that create slot payouts are weak and can be hacked. Anything is possible.
