Share your stories with online casinos good bad and ugly

I've only had one experience was given 100 pounds at one of my UK books.
First thing I asked was can I transfer to my sportsbook account, no luck so had to play it on the casino. Think it had a 5X rollover.
So I bet it mostly on roulette account went up and down think the most I got it up to was only 200 pounds. Actually the first day I was playing it landed on red 9 times in a row. At the end of the day over a couple weeks lost the 100 pounds they gave me. I left with the impression that it pretty much rigged.

What say you do you think they are mostly rigged? or share your experiences.

i like to play 3 card poker.

ive won as much as $800 an lost as much as $900.

they say that they set the computer to pay out much like a casino machine but when u lose 5-6 hands in a row its hard not to think its rigged.

i will never play blackjack online. that shit is totaly fixed.

think he said it hit red....9 times in a row.

had a buddy that started with $200 playing blackjack. after a few wins, started raising the bet, playing multiple hands, splitting, double down etc...next thing you know he had $35,000. got a fed ex check in a about a week.

Dont they flag you for a 35k check? How do you explain it? Or would they even care as long as you reported it and paid taxes?

Ive never won that much money but I always had the idea of multiple smaller payouts if I ever did. I used to imagine winning a ton of cash in Canada and leaving it there and bringing it back 7 or 8 k at a time.

the check was for $27,000. saw it with my own eyes. have no clue as to whether he claimed it for tax purposes.
actually, the guy is dumbass and wasn't very long before he pissed it away in local card games, golf, and drugs.

Playing blackjack at the Bellagio in Vegas last May when I decided to up the stakes due to my high level of alcohol.....the table had a min limit of $25 and a max of $500 per hand. I played 2 spots for $200 each......stupid when drunk.....anyway, I was dealt 8+8=16 on the first spot and K,Q= 20 on the other. Dealer had a 4 showing. Naturally I split my 8's and drew a 3 on one and a 9 on the other. I proceeded to double down the 11 on the first hand and got a 7 for 18. Obviously a stand.....the 2nd hand I had 17 which I stood on. The KQ=20 was obviously a stand as well. The dealer proceeded to flip over a 6 which gave her 10....I'm thinking F*ck, I could easily lose $800 here if she draws an Ace, or lose $600 if she draws a 9 or better. Instead, she proceeded to draw a 6 which brought her total to 16, (I'm thinking good thoughts now) then she hits her 16 and draws an two for 18.

So as a recap: ($200 per hand)

1st hand: KQ ($200 bet)
2nd hand: 8+8 which I split into a 17 and a 18(double down). ($200 bet turned into $600)
_______
Total: $800 on the table

Anyway, I wanted to tell the entire story because in Vegas, I would never expect this to happen....

The dealer draws out for 18.......she looks at my 17 and says, "very nice, 19". Pays me for that hand....she looks at my 18 and says, "just barely, very good", and PAYS me!......I'm thinking WTF, is this a joke? This is Vegas, aren't you supposed to be the best of the best as far as dealers? I played one more hand after that for $50 and got the hell out of there and cashed out before anything stupid happened hahaha!!

Sickening story every time I think about it!!! What should have been a Win, Push, and Loss....turned into a WIN WIN WIN and $800 profit!!
