Just got a message from a friend that he lost all of his money with one of those online casinos.

@achieng Online slots are disgusting and should be outlawed they are supposed to be random but in that case how come on every first deposit of approx 25 £ I've won up to about 40£ then eventually lost it all , the game starts offering less and less bonus games and wins in an almost identical pattern and I can only describe this pattern as one that is designed to suck you in , then there's the bonuses , the game while you are playing it knows you have bonuses and cannot withdraw so it gives you a variation of small wins and bonus feature games but as soon as you are clear of any restrictions ie" allowed to withdraw bang" the machine goes cold until it takes it all back I personally think that these daily / hourly jackpots are fake ! This is my personal experience after playing on around 10 different gambling / bingo sites and every experience was the same so how is that random???? My advice to anybody would be to withdraw any money you have with these sites and close your accounts !
 
@achieng Don't gamble what you can't afford to lose.

When he was winning big he should have put his original $1200 to one side so if it all went to shit he would still walk away with what he started with.
 
@2purple4u You can't - once the money is deposited, there's a "playthrough" amount attached to the bonus you got, ie. you need to have played X amount before you can withdraw winnings. According to OP, this particular site had a playthrough of $100k. So basically OP's friend needed to initiate bets etc of a total value of $100k to be able to withdraw anything. He wouldn't be able to get the original money back out unless he hit that mark.
 
@achieng The only time I've used one was with a similar offer deposit £20 get £20 free. So I put £20 on black and £20 on red and walked away with £40. (£20 profit) i just had to hope it didn't land on '0'.
