On my birthday I had 4 Rivals that had given me a bonus ranging from $10-$40. The WR is really high 40X (one was actually 42X)!! So I looked at it as if it was only play money because lets face it... that's ALOT of wagering!
Over the course of 4-5 days I would sign on... win some and sign off. My method was when the slots stopped hitting I would log off. (since slot play is the only logical play on a rival bonus that will not interfere with being able to cashout. If you play other games they can deny a withdrawal). So I basically just bounced from one Rival to the next and then back and played ONLY slots.
Rival is the only casino I know of that does not give you a "counter" on your playthrough... so I had NO idea of how much I had left to playthrough the whole time
I took the $25 bonus that
Absolute Slots gave me and once I had my balance up over $75 I increased my bets from 15c & 20c to 30c &40c... then once my balance was up over $100 I started betting 75c & $1 a spin (which I never ever do... but, I figured there was NO way I was going to meet the playthrough that I could not see if I did not increase my bets) and it worked!! I had some really nice hits.. mostly on Secret Garden and every so often I would pop on over to the cashier to see "active" and "you have not yet met the wagering requirements for this bonus" Until the one magical time I went there and saw "you HAVE met the wagering requirements for this bonus"
So It IS possible to make the WR on a Rival bonus. Up until today I had never managed it. It took days of me logging on and off and playing only when the slots would hit. My max cashout was $125.. my balance was over $200 when I met all requirements so I played out the rest and I am patiently awaiting my WD to QT.
Thank You Absolute Slots!! What a wonderful birthday present! Of all the birthday bonuses that I got yours was the only one I managed a cashout on!!
And thank you NLN for letting me share a positive experience and my method of madness!
