CHECK your Rival Accounts for loyalty & VIP Bonus

I'm sorry. I didn't see where you posted that they stopped the weekly n/d bonuses, which is what I was refering to. I must have misread it or something...

Duh..
"Simon Says removed its weekly 100% promotion with
the addition of the brand new Simon's Society VIP rewards program."

Don't mind me...Guess it just took a few times..(Yeah, I'm on the ball today!)

wvguitargirl, Sorry.. It sucks. Simon tried to be extremely
generous.. They were abused. They were forced to reduce bonus
or go out of buisness.

It sucks, but this happens to any overly generous casino. I have
seen it too many times to count.
Good players, like us, get hurt.

**After the bonus abusers are weeded out, Simon will
be able to give more bonus to the VIP and loyal players

**The weekly VIP n/d on Tuesday is still live, but
the criteria has changed
You must deposit to your VIP status to get the freebie.
It is no longer given if you deposit one or 2 times
(I do not know the specific criteria, but I got mine yesterday)

I got mine yesterday as well!! Didn't last long but I got it and had some fun.

Simon Says info to NoLuckers:
I will be trying to get us a 100% Exclusive at least every 2 weeks.

Simon Says knows that noluck players
are awesome, so I am sure they will be giving us great stuff
to make up some of the changes!! Contests and special bonus
will be coming for us!

I posted this in another topic, but
I think it is relevant to this thread also:

TDTAT:
We all love bonus, we all want as many freebies
as possible. This is just a gambler's nature.

I do not begrudge anyone for the way they play. I do not think
I started depositing at casino until I played every freebie known to man

I want everyone to know 3 things:
1. I will always try to get noluckers more bonus and freebies than
the casinos want to give.
2. I do not judge gamblers. I am one of you
3. Bonus lover and bonus abuser are 2 different things and
I am probably both.

TDTAT:

I do not want any members to feel embarrassed
about anything. I love you guys the same, if you never deposit $1-
or if you play $10,000 a week.

I do not want anyone to think noluckneeded is calling someone
a bonus abuser.. if you are, I do not care. I am a bonus whore
if anyone wants to call names!!

WOW,LOL TDTAT I fit into 2 of those catagories, and I have been gambling for almost all my adult life, I started out with loto, then 6yrs ago on the computer, I just get a thrill when that big spin comes into view, but mostly it relaxes me, and gives me a sense of enjoyment after a hard day or week, people use drugs and alcahol and to fulfill there desires, I use gambling. it cost as much, but I do not go to jail everytime I turn around for public intox or drug use, so I feel safe and I just enjoy gambling at home, and sometimes in the land casino's.

jovida, I am the same.. Life is a gamble... I love to gamble
and I love life

Maybe I'm dense but how would bonuses be abused in this case? The casino itself was the one sending out freebies and other bonuses. How COULD it be abused? Are you abusing them by playing what they offer? If players don't deposit, they don't get bonuses, right? I guess I just don't understand... ops:

wvguitargirl, That is exactly why they stopped giving so many bonuses.
They gave too many and created the abuse. It happens all the time
with generous casinos.

There are ways to abuse a particular bonus though..
say the 30% I get unlimited. If I wanted to abuse that bonus
I would deposit the minumum every time and play until
I made play and cashout however small it may be. Then I would
deposit again with the same bonus and do it again and again..

The bonuses that allow multiple games other than slots
are even easier to abuse. But the casinos would probably
not appreciate me teaching everyone how to do it .

All their little detection systems can be avoided by
a few deposits with no bonus

I noticed that Rival no longer allows deposits during pending
withdrawals, so that is another way they are combating the issue.

I got bonus locked at Cocoa if anyone is feeling embarrassed!!
I know I just have to email them to get it fixed.. the auto
system got me I am sure I deserved it.. no big deal

Well, heck, I think I'm a abuser. (The first step is admitting I have a problem, right?) I almost always deposit the min. amount, that way I can spread my money out to different casino's to better my odds of one being "hot". I almost always use a bonus, too. Why wouldn't I when they are available? I often cash out low. If I deposit $20, I'm up to $75 and I'm out of gambling funds, I'll cash that out, get it to click2pay and start all over again until I hit something big enough for a ACH withdrawal. Here I thought I was being smart. Now I realize my true nature...

Hello, my name is Twila and I'm a bonus abuser....





ah, the shame...

wvguitargirl, I do it too.. But not all
casinos have the same criteria. DO NOT LUMP RIVAL
CASINOS TOGETHER.

Most of us use a bonus on every deposits (I do except a few). That is not
really bonus abuse per say. That is being a bonus lover.

Also being smart is not necessarily abuse. I am trying
to explain things in simple terms. It is much more complicated


Every just forget all this and play how you want. If there
are problems with someone's bonus account, a simple email can
usally fix it. If you never get bonus blocked, then you are fine!

We have to worry about winning. If the promos and freebies
come, they come. If not play at the casino where they come more

LOL.

I'm sorry. Wasn't trying to be difficult. Only curious how one could be a "bonus abuser" when it is the casino selelcting who to give the bonuses to. Just don't see how a casino could say the "abusers ruin it for good players" when players take advantage of bonuses being offered to them by the casino....That's all.

Won't bring it up again!!

I hadn't even noticed that!!!!

wvguitargirl, You have to remember..
most no luckers are not the problem. All the casinos
love no luck players as a group. They know we rock.

There are actual sites out there who purposely go after
casinos in more ways than I have mentioned. NoLuckers are
definately not the problem, if you get my point.

i agree tawnia but lol , i refuse they said im a bonus abuser , i dont like this world , it seems i have make a fautlt and , i have not play yesteday and today, im blocked on my head with their story

i dont imagine that touch me like that , i havent the pleasure i had just before beghin to play , i cant open a casino , i have try but i cant , i ll see tomorrow if im better like today , i have play anywhere ...

samsarah1, I would not worry about it
Do not think that all Rival casinos are the same. They are not
