BHers, how many matching bonuses are out there?
Largest figure for number of casino's was 1400. Quite a few of these have shut down and many aren't attractive to play at.
Matching bonuses have to be at least $50.
All casino's offer a bonus, and many offer a 100% match. Does anyone know how many are actually out there?
I've searched many BH lists, but many of these overlap. I'm not about to count them all out.
I like the bottom database. It only has 136 casinos however.

Ironically questions about ST get derided here, when the correlation about info and entrophy of opportunity is at best marginal, yet responses to questions about bonus hustling, which degrade opportunities in real-time, often get comprehensive answers. At very least this could be discussed on green. Do I need to remind bonus hustlers about Stanley Acropolis, Golden Palace, Goodfellas, more recently Aztec Riches and Playgate?
I'm sorry I have to act as self-appointed censor, but asking about great bonuses doesn't even help the questioner since replies will tend to negate the value of the great bonus before you can exploit it. Do some research.

Mr J.
Check your email.

...would actually pay you. At least three quarters of that would be marginal (eg Fortune Lounge were very reputable few months ago but are now touch and go). Very few unambiguously decent operations out there unfortunately.
(PS thanks for not taking this personally).
can't you get the credit card company to claim your deposit back for you?
it just creates some inconvenience, of obtaining new IDs. If you record all transactions, have printouts of the transactions etc I'd think you're likely to get your deposit back.
I'd think most casinos will pay you as long as you don't cash out on the bare minimum. So-called dodgy casino's have paid me my winnings, and I'm sure that's because I don't cash out on the minimum.
Keeping them informed that they've not paid me (hasn't happened yet, but then again I have limited experience), doesn't really take up much time. Just an email everyday and a call every now and then.
As far as most of the bad experiences go, I'm sure most people end up getting paid (just much much much later), they just make it very inconvenient.
had my Royal Bank VISA refused once.
Could you elaborate either here or on Green Chip? Thanks in advance.
You did a great job on your site JN. Congratz. I haven't promoted Desert Dollar just yet, but will sometime this week with two other $200/$200's that are coming up. Now if I play under your link and take the $100 bonus you will lose -$35 in referral fees....grin How much will you pay me NOT to sign up under you?? joking I'll go in thru the front door and leave like Jim Carrey does from the bank in the movie The Mask.

Their security department is very paranoid. They once phoned my bank about my debit card. The bank wouldn't give them any info over the phone (FL talked to a run-of-the-mill customer service rep. I doubt she even knew what FL was asking).
FL then locked all my accounts with about $4000 spread between them. They flatly stated that they would not even give me my deposits back until I proved my card wasn't fraudulent. Faxing statements and ID etc. wasn't good enough (I had done that months before, and was a regular player). It took two weeks of heated conversations with FL security and a three way phone call between FL, myself and a bank supervisor to get the accounts unlocked. I wouldn�t even wish that hassle on Rob McGarvey (well maybe).
Just make sure all your �T�s� are crossed and your �I�s� are dotted. This group will ask you for all manner of documents before allowing a withdrawal; if there is any discrepancy, you could have a problem.
but it is better to threaten that you will do it than actually go ahead and do it. A truce is better in this case.

That's the spirit! I'm glad you got your money back. They do tend to send out their bonuses in batches which can get you in very deep with them. The key is to pull it out slooowly. That reminds me of a girl I once use to.....never mind. I have a loooong playing history there that goes back to the day they only had 7Sultans. I should add up all the $$ I've hit them for. They did hassle me a month ago with Fortune Lounge, but all the others there was no problem. It's almost like the one casino has a separate manager over it or something. Vierd, eh?
Have my 5 US based credit cards refused. US companies are worried about legal problems.
Some think it is an indication of a cash shortage.
This is being discussed all over the net.
You seem to be a knowledgeable bonus hustler. Have you ever been blacklisted anywhere? How do you get around the socalled increasing security? Do you use multiple credit cards? Would you recommend that? You mentioned taking your money out slowly. What does this mean? Do you cash out 1/2 first, and the other half later? Any other recommendations on not getting caught? Sorry to ask so many questions- I'm just a novice at bonus hustling, and am paranoid about losing my cash to untrustworthy casinos. Thanks for any advice.
