The Confessions of a Chip Whore.......

Hiya LCB'ers,

Life before discovering LCB was a joke for me as far as a gambler. I don't think anyone could of been more dumb then me.

I probably had 200 accounts for each casino and redeemed 100 chips in a row. While in the midst of it all made deposits at these very same casinos! It wasn't until i found forums like LCB that i realized i was really not pulling the l over any of these casinos eyes! The joke was all on me all along if i ever tried to collect.

I was a chip whore and a depositor at the same time. Hows that for a lethal combination!  I remember one day opening up my email and finding a "welcome to the casino" and thanking me for registering. It was a casino i had never heard of and never registered at.

Then it struck me.....could my email be a made up one by a chip whore like myself that has 200 accounts too? I had the most clever names, street addresses and states. I think i lived in every state i the country. I lived every era and age bracket. I was 21, 30, 50 and 70. I have been every astrological sign there is!

That is my confession of a chip whore, the rogue casino's favorite customer, a depositor too!

It was reading at the LCB forum that made me say "what was i thinking"!!

Wow Lips!!!  You just told MY story to a "T"!!!  That is exactly how it was for me in the beginning as well, playing at all the rogue casinos, a few accounts opened with all the email addresses I possessed..playing all the free chips I could get my hands on, depositing once in awhile never realizing I would NEVER be able to withdraw a dime....until I too found LCB.  It didn't become a problem for me until Micrograming pulled out initially in the US.  After that happened, I was looking all over online trying to find casinos that accepted US players and boy...were there alot of wolves in sheep clothing just waiting to pounce on me!  Stumbling across this site was the most enlightening thing that could have happened to me and basically just helped me gamble more responsibly and to understand better how those no deposit bonus' really worked.  So, I shall confess my sins as a Chip Whore as well...and know that I am truly in a better place today because of LCB and all of you great people who make it what it is    Thank you...I feel SOOOO much better now 

hahahahaha you are too cute! I am glad to know i am not the only one too!!

I did not have multiple accts, but I have claimed 2-3 chips in a row and deposited to most well known rogue casinos only-the virtual group.  I remembered I tried to deposit to vegas trip or club player with 800% or 900% bonus with terms and conditions that impossible to cash out (didn't understand it back then) .  I claimed cash back chip with vegas trip one time and was fooled by their rouge livechat.  I had 5 scatters on Aztec game which won $500 I think, my cashback chip had 2x max cashout which was $100.  The livechat told me I need to pay back the money I lost when I took the 800% bonus too.  sgihhhhh, I tried to win back that money and eventually I lost all the balance, lol.  Anyway, I came accrossed LCB and LCB was my first online casino site I registered as a member.  I've learned things fast by checking no deposit bonus codes, join contest or learn from other members experiences here at LCB.  I then knew which casinos were rogues and which were reputable.  I wrote my casino experiences and learned alot from comments or feedback from other LCB members.  I've learned whether it's a good or bad bonus and I became a bonus whore later, lol and then zuga made me a casino whore mod.  I tried to hunt good bonus  and posted it weekly, not only for myself, but for some other members.  The down side about it is that I became bonus abuser later on with topgame and now rivals, it's not LCB or my fault though.  I just took advantage of their bonuses to be succeed at their casinos.  It's all right thou, I can live withouth playing with those casinos, no problem.  Up until now, if anyone asks me if I am successfull with online casinos, I would say Yes, I'm a successfull online gambler (Overall I'm  way ahead) and I'm proud to say that my success came from learning from other LCB'S members expericences, zuga and also other mods here at LCB. 

You are very fortunate taaa and a wise gambler at that. I know you loved Rivals and it is upsetting for you to have them lock you out. Thats really a shame and it is their loss. Not only for a diligent player you are but the exposure you have given them just by playing and winning and sharing your experiences with us.

I don't really understand why casinos lock accounts. Even if you win, sooner or later the house will have the edge. And if they consider "bonus abuse" a problem then why not just deny the bonus at cashier?

You will still continue to be LCB's gambling legend and marvel to us all!
