Thanks for the info.

[Meowjin]

site wont accept registration right now. all well saved me money

[DC5-S]

call customer service if you can't sign up.. found this promotion off redflagdeals.com.. lots of people won big off there

[TypeRNammer]

Nice registration is open LOL

EDIT:

I've been eyeing the thread for a while now. People seem to be winning big on blackjack or video poker.

[BinsentoW]

I won on blackjack. deposited $100, cashed out $280 :)

You need a credit card to deposit money and a checking account to withdraw the money.

[Meowjin]

i told my self i wouldn't gamble. Been clean for about 7 months now.

[jerche]

My understanding for this promo is that the worse you can do is break even if you deposit $100 and say (knock on wood) that you lost the full amount?

[Manic!]

[Meowjin]

my account got locked out :(

[mr_chin]

The worst you can do is lose your $100.

Not if you have self controlled. It's stated that if you deposit $100, playnow.com will give you an extra $100 on top.

Play your $100, win or lose and walk out. Even if you have the worst luck and lost your $100 in the first 10 hands, you have the $100 from the promo. So if you can control yourself to walk out after losing $100, you even out.

[jerche]

^Ya that's exactly what I meant. I'm only planning to lose $100 max but hopefully I will profit from this and it will be a win win situation :)

[BinsentoW]

You have to "use" that free $100 too.
Say you play $25 hands. You have to play 4 hands then you are fine, regardless of the result (win/loss).
In total, you will have to play 8 $25 hands to get the full benefit of this deal.

[DanHibiki]

Sooo....I'm confused. Do you have to wager $200 or $100 total to beable to with draw the bonus?

So say I bet $50 and lose, then bet another $50 and win so I break even. I also now meet the wager requirements and am rewarded an extra $100. Can I immediately withdraw this $100 or is it: 1)only allowed to be played at their website, 2) you need another $100 wager to withdraw it?

From what I gather in the FAQ in the website, this is a x2 bonus which is DAMN good.

I used to do what is called "bonus whoring" a long time ago where you sign up on a bunch of poker/casino websites that give out such bonuses. At that time, the wager requirements were like x10, x15, x20. I just played it safe and bet little by little...slowly grinding it and my life out until I met the requirements. Made some good dough from it. Had to stop when they caught on and made the requirements super hard.

[DC5-S]

you have to wager $200 total as stated in the first post, I wasnt keeping track and kept winning and saw I had $320 at the top haha. called it quits then

[FerrariEnzo]

lol did they fix the problem with private personal info being viewed by other people???

[cho]

deposit 100
play blackjack
withdraw 270

thx dude!

[Meowjin]

lol did they fix the problem with private personal info being viewed by other people???

no obviously not :rolleyes:

[woob]

Where's diesel_test?

[DC5-S]

won $135 for my mom haha..

[Greenstoner]

2 of my buddies signed up this one as well and they both cashed out

[Meowjin]

yeah ok

[DC5-S]

Greenstoner what game did you play to win so big?

[ImportPsycho]

Before anyone jump in thinking they gonna play $100 for free

My understanding for this promo is that the worse you can do is break even if you deposit $100 and say (knock on wood) that you lost the full amount?


Not if you have self controlled. It's stated that if you deposit $100, playnow.com will give you an extra $100 on top.

Play your $100, win or lose and walk out. Even if you have the worst luck and lost your $100 in the first 10 hands, you have the $100 from the promo. So if you can control yourself to walk out after losing $100, you even out.


YOU CAN NOT WITHDRAW PLAY MONEY/CASINO TOKEN

you put down $100, you lose all, get $100 casino money, withdraw to walk out even? NO

You can withdraw whatever you win from casino money, but not the actual casino money

[Leparto]

so basically u want to play until ur casino money is at 0 and everything u make with the casino money is urs + the 100 deposit u threw down

[ImportPsycho]

^ actually

u put down 100, u get 100 casino money

u play the games and ur using the casino money first

if u happen to lose all the games u play and u lose the 100 casino money u can walk out with ur own 100 dollars

so basically u want to play until ur casino money is at 0 and everything u make with the casino money is urs + the 100 deposit u threw down

did you actually play?
that sounds too good to be true
BCLC clearly states casino money will be credited AFTER you played your $100 first

Your Casino Token is credited to your account once you have wagered at least $100 on casino games.

let me know cuz if you are right, i'd be all over this :drool

Risky free way to earn your $100.

Deposite $100,
Go on the baccarat table.

Bet $50 on banker and $50 on player.
1) if it's banker, you will lose $2.5 commission, since you have played $100 on this hand, you will receive your $100 casino token.

2) if it's player, you will tie, and since you have played $100 on this hand, you will receive your $100 casino token.

3) if it's a tie, money will be returned to you, earning yourself $100 casino token, since you have played $100 on this hand.

With your $100 token, again bet $50 on banker and $50 on player.
1) if it's banker, you will lose $2.5 commission, but by playing $100 casino token you can cash out this amount, which is $97.5 in total.

2) if it's player, you will be able to cash out that $100 on to your cash account.

3) if it's a tie, you will be able to cash out that $100 on to your cash account.


This is the risk free way to earn that $95.00 - $100.00 profit.
You will be able to cash out $195.00 - $200.
Should be able to do it in 3 mins.

This is from RFD. Looks like there is a risk-free way to get that money.

[Ch28]

^ Can somebody that knows how to play Baccarat confirm that would work? I don't know the rules haha

[DC5-S]

it does work

[cctw]

^^yes it works i just did it...

with the $10 free token I made $107.50 hahah not bad..risk free profit

[Drift_Monkey]

i got error code 7037... i lost my old username and requested them to send it to my email, but I never got an email from them to confirm my original username.

Guess I can call customer service tomorrow.

Thanks in advance anyways!

[DanHibiki]

Withdrew 207.25. Awaiting arrival!

Gonna do this for the rest of my family.

[fetched]

Thanks! 214.25 for me! Well.. minus the 100 i put in!

[Slifer]

Do I need to enter a promo code when registering? Thanks!

[ImportPsycho]

comfirmed! walked out with $95 profit, zero risk, in less that 3 min
easist money ever! :thumbsup:
I'm not sure if BCLC is aware that players can cash out without risking any money because they are allowing bets to be placed on player and banker at the same time.
Hurry and get you money before they change the rule:D

[choda]

why wont it let me register?

[teaoh]

Your password must contain a minimum of 6 characters, use mixed case, and have letters and numbers but no special characters. I'm doing it correctly and it still wont let me register.

[Drift_Monkey]

ok I called CSR and they reset my password.

I deposited 100 and cashed out $210.00 =)

I was almost up by 250, but I played too aggressively and I'm only up by $110.00 which is still good for free money and a chance to win big.

[hkRicer]

Holy fuxk!!! this thread is gold. 210. Unless you are gambling addict u can't lose, but if you are u gonna lose regardless of this thread. Oh thx OP

I just hope my withdrawal will go through, just played 3 hands haha

[hkRicer]

Is this once per household? I'm gonna tell my wife to do this as well :rofl:

[SkinnyPupp]

Couldn't open the account from Hong Kong. Will try phoning them later to see if I can get them to manually activate the account.

This is the fucking stupidest casino promo I have ever seen. Good for us!

Awesome, $205 cash balance.

seeing my 100 dollars fly around on the table like that was absolutely thrilling.

Confirmed Aug 25. Cashed out $205 = $105 profit doing the Baccarat method. Thanks!

I have to admit the temptation was very high to keep playing once you get the high of winning.

Edit: Why do you guys only make about 100 profit? Cant u go more?

You can, but that's only if you want to play more above the guaranteed amount

Edit: Waiting for my account limit to be raised so I can try it out, damn I hate waiting 24 hours!

Edit: Why do you guys only make about 100 profit? Cant u go more?

i wanna make 500 hahahah

[rageguy]

this sounds fuckin awesome.

Edit: Why do you guys only make about 100 profit? Cant u go more?

$97.50 is 100% guaranteed profit. Those who followed the Bacarrat strategy will get that profit. You can decide to actually gamble to get more.

[TouringTeg]

Like someone posted on Red Flag Deals, it's our HST rebate :D

[Jegz]

went from $244 to $3..whoohoo..

Great, as a result of this, we're gonna end up with a few new diesel_tests... :p

Forgot my password.. called CS was on hold for maybe 8 minutes before my call was answered... reset my password...and now I have to change my limit!

[HonestTea]

YESS FUCK! they gave me a # to call "Aquafacts(sp?)"? and those assholes have no idea what to do with BCLC.. :( :(

[Slifer]

^Fuck I have the same problem..what do we do now?

[TouringTeg]

Yikes. I would hate to work at that call centre right now.

I used TD VISA and after the VISA authentication process I got an error 7029 I believe but the money was still deposited just fine.

TD VISA does charge a $2.50 that is charged at the end of the billing cycle for cash advance. I would have used Interac Online but Coast Capital does not support it.

[BlackV62K2]

I had problems trying to create my account too. It was set to pending state and said I had to call CSR. After an hour wait, it turned out they needed more info to ID me with the credit company. So the lady told me to email or fax a scan of my driver license and a copy of a ulitity bill. I emailed that yesterday so we'll see what happens after.

[TouringTeg]

$500 nice. Quit while you are ahead.

The next step is how to delete your account. I only see an option to do Self Exclusion.

I had to do the same thing. Did you get your registration through? How long did it take?

[Jgresch]

Umm I bet $50 on Dealer and $50 on myself on Baccarat, and didn't get a 100 credit to my account...

It says I've only spent $90....

edit: figured it out.

[Vulcan300]

^ you also started with a $10 token when registering. You need to use that up first

[fliptuner]

Withdrew 300 of it and then got cocky and lost it all, oh well! Good run!

That's gambling dude, good run.

I was going to actually suggest taking $350-$400 out and free-roll the rest. It is what it is, man. You should know well enough that you almost never cash out at your peak unless you win a HUGE one.

[ws6ta]

easiest $97.50 ever made. That took about 2 minutes. Already had an account :D.

[7seven]

For those of you that used a credit card, does it count as a cash advance (and thus your cc company will charge you an extra fee?)

Used my RBC Visa and they treated it as a purchase, no cash advance fees.

[Slifer]

There is a trick to avoid paying the cash advance fee. Lets say you want to put in $100, you just have to make sure there is a credit of $100 on your account. So basically just pay in advance to avoid the fees.

[Jgresch]

I cashed out my $200 on Friday, but its still not in my account :(

[Slifer]

I've done it before and it works. You just have to make sure your payment went through because it takes a couple days for the CC company to acknowledge the payment.

[Jgresch]

what :s you mean you get charged just for using your CC online? I don't think i do and I don't load my card pre use...

[CRS]

what :s you mean you get charged just for using your CC online? I don't think i do and I don't load my card pre use...

Yeah, some cards have certain fees associated with certain things.

I know that my BMO card has that.

Talking to a CSR for MBNA right now since the site is declining MBNA.

[obselete]

HSBC also charges the fee called the "quasi cash fee" and it is 2.75 per transaction

[Gumby]

Used my RBC Visa and they treated it as a purchase, no cash advance fees.
Thanks for the info - I didn't want to take the risk without knowing, so I transferred money in from my bank account (did it on Friday, but money didn't appear in my Playnow account until today). Now I'm also $97.50 richer! :D

[Hondaracer]

damn, not letting me register just giving an error, on hold right now

[Jgresch]

wooo just got my $100 :)

[CT10]

Has anyone thought of getting a credit card, where they treat it as a 'purchase'.

You take that card, and deposit say...$5000 into your BCLC account.

That $5000 then counts as a 'purchase' (not cash advance), and you will get to earn your cash back/points with the purchase

Then from your BCLC a/c, withdraw that $5000 back to your bank account, and then use your bank account to pay off the $5000?

[quasi]

damn, not letting me register just giving an error, on hold right now


Someone on a local poker site spent 6 hours on hold the other day before finally giving up. I don't know if he called at the absoulte prime time but thats retarded.

[Hondaracer]

yea, i had my phone on hold for 45 minutes before i got to talk to somone

turns out you can use the normal BCLC account for the playnow side, thats why i couldnt register a new one

now i gotta wait until tommarow so my limit is raised to 100 :(

Update: MBNA does not do gambling things so no can do for MBNA users.

Awesome! Did the Baccarat method, and then tried my luck at Blackjack. Stopped after winning an extra $100, and withdrew $310! :thumbsup:

I will never visit that site EVER again! Too tempting!

[Razor Ramon HG]

Just a heads up, I used my bank account to withdraw the winnings from my dad's account that I made and it worked like a charm. Guess they don't check bank account names (if it's even possible).

Yeah it was so tempting to continue playing... your money is just a simple counter at the top! At least in an actual casino, you have physical stacks of chips that decrease in height if you're losing. I'm a chicken when it comes to gambling...

in the bodog online casino i turned $50 into $320 playing a system in blackjack

then i made stupid sports book bets and lost it all lol, so yea best to take advantage of this then close your account :P

Whats your system?

[Hondaracer]

Whats your system?

just chasing losses, double your bet on a loss and each time you win you win the minimum bet, never stray away from the system for doubling down unless your doing it with profit

works in the casino's too if they have decent min/max's :P

[TouringTeg]

I was setting my dad up with an account yesterday and called at 515pm and was on hold for 1 hr 45 mins because their system could not verify his identity. Had to scan and email DL and a utility bill (showing address). They had issues receiving attachments so that took another 20 mins or so. Finally got the account activated and his CC was expired last month LOL

I am determined ha

[TouringTeg]

You take that card, and deposit say...$5000 into your BCLC account.

That $5000 then counts as a 'purchase' (not cash advance), and you will get to earn your cash back/points with the purchase

Then from your BCLC a/c, withdraw that $5000 back to your bank account, and then use your bank account to pay off the $5000?

I thought of this too. It seems like it could work in theory. I used a TD Rewards VISA (1% cash back) and I may call and find out if a cash advance charge will be added and if the $100 deposit counts for the 1% cash back.

EDIT: Just called TD VISA and confirmed that my $100 transaction was NOT cash advance (no fee) AND counts towards my 1% cash back. Wow!

[tacobell]

PPL, please don't refer to this strategy, this strategy blows big time. Most tables here in the lower mainland have $500 bet limit anyway, but let's just say you take this strategy to the high limit tables and it's $10k limit.


you come out of a club, ahh, let's play some BJ, i want to make $200 to cover my night out at the clubs. I'll play $25 a hand. Lose one hand, down $25, ok, i'll use the double your bet strategy. Lose two hands, lose 3 hands, run into a hot deck, you lost 5 bets in a row. Guess what? now with your strategy, on hand number 5, you are betting $775 a hand. You lose 6 hands in a row and you've made a mountain outta that hole and now your betting $1575 a hand just in the hopes you will make that $25 that was to get you started. You may say, what are the odds of losing 6 hands in a row? that will never happen. Talk to anybody that plays BJ regularly, you'll probably go throw losing 6 hands in a row every other session.

Hand 8 you're betting $6375 and hand 9 you're betting $12,775, hope you have deep pockets.

Best strategy for BJ is, set an amount you want to win and set an amount you are willing to lose. Once you reach either one of them, leave. Actually the best advice would be to never touch this horrible game.

[Hondaracer]

^ no shit it doesnt work betting $25 hands, thats your typical hasty betting that typical BJ players use, absolutely no strategy and relying completely on luck.

this strategy obviously does have a place because alot of local casinos have changed their $5 minimum tables to $275 maximum, hence limiting your ability to chase losses, so they saw a slight flaw and fixed it by lowering the max.

I use this system at almost any table game i play, and in Vegas i've -never- lost using it

here's what i do in Vegas at $5 outside roulette, they have $5 minimum, $500 maximum there

so lets say the last color rolled is red, i will follow whatever the last color was [*disclaimer, green's are your enemy with this strat]

so it goes red, i bet red

if it goes black and i lose, i will bet black the following bet and double my bet

so $5 on red, it rolled black

i will then bet $10 on black

it rolls red, i will bet $20 on red

it goes black, i will bet $40 on black

it goes red, i will bet $80 on red

it goes black, i will bet $160 on black

it goes green, thats basically a null bet, but i will run on the previous color

green, i will bet $320 on black

it goes red, i will then give a friend $320, to put down on red, and i will put $320 on red

So.. basically i'm relying that during those 8 turns, at some point it will go red-red, or black-black, and i will gain my money back completely + $5

it's not to say that the pattern wont go back and forth for 8 turns, or that 2 greens might show up, but I like my odd's of having 8 chances to come out ahead, rather than hastly betting random amounts, you may never win big with this strat, but I prefer following some sort of system rather than betting random amounts and hoping for the best.

EDIT* and the Bodog online casino has a minimum $1 max $5 so you have an extra 2 turns there, but it's online and obviously sketchier

[FN-2199]

Basic mentality for Blackjack is to not get greedy, and set your limit. If you're at a huge loss, just stop. People often forget that the objective is to beat the Dealer, who only has to get 17, and end up hitting soft 19's to get 21.

Take tacobell's advice. Don't even bother touching Blackjack.

[choda]

I used the same method as Honda but on baccarat, trust me it seems like a good idea when you initially do it, and it worked for me, or so I thought. I was playing my system and got all the way to 649.55 and I was like nice! One more hand and I'll stop! NOT!! No matter how much you think your system is fool proof, there will always be that one time where you think the odds are so low of something happening, but it happens. For example, I ran into a situation where there were 11 bankers in mother fucking ROW and lost all the 649.55 I had! Also, when I play roulette, not online but at the casino, I've seen a whole board FULL of only reds. Chasing your losses is what fucks people over with casinos, in my opinion I would stay away from that system.

[Hondaracer]

well in those cases, how are you losing if there is that long of a run? your betting on the oposite of what is being rolled?

[InvisibleSoul]

I use this system at almost any table game i play, and in Vegas i've -never- lost using it
MOST times it will work. The problem is the eventually there will be ONE time that it will NOT work, and you'll lose a crap load of money.

here's what i do in Vegas at $5 outside roulette, they have $5 minimum, $500 maximum there

so lets say the last color rolled is red, i will follow whatever the last color was [*disclaimer, green's are your enemy with this strat]

so it goes red, i bet red

if it goes black and i lose, i will bet black the following bet and double my bet
Your "strategy" is absolutely NO DIFFERENT than if you kept betting the same colour over and over.

The chances of hitting eight reds consecutively is EXACTLY THE SAME as hitting red-black-red-black-red-black-red-black.

It doesn't matter that you alternate... you are STILL using the Martingale system, which DOES NOT WORK.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martingale_%28betting_system%29

it's not to say that the pattern wont go back and forth for 8 turns, or that 2 greens might show up, but I like my odd's of having 8 chances to come out ahead, rather than hastly betting random amounts, you may never win big with this strat, but I prefer following some sort of system rather than betting random amounts and hoping for the best.
But the ironic thing is in the end, system or random betting no system, your odds are EXACTLY THE SAME.

Using your system, yes... you will win your $5 most times. The problem is the ONE TIME you end up hitting a consecutive streak of eight alternating reds and blacks against you, you just blew $1275.

That means your system has to work an average of 255 times to everyone one time it fails. Guess what? The odds say it will NOT work 255 times to every one time it fails.

Once again, it may have worked for you five times, ten times, 20 times, maybe even 100 times, but eventually there will be ONE TIME it fails, and when that happens, you will be HURTING.

i've never gotten to the point where i've got over 7 bets and lost

and i've never lost more than $400 at the casino

i'm not some moron who loses $600 then pulls out another $100 to try and break even, i'm devastated at losing $100, but if i'm going to bet i'd rather follow what i outlined than betting random amounts and taking losses

the system i laid out is alot more about the value of the bet rather than the process

*EDIT, not to mention those sims listed above are using 6 decks, old vegas has Casinos that use 2 for BJ.

[tacobell]

Hondaracer - Actually the casinos would love for you to use this strategy, bet big when you're losing and bet small when you're winning. I'm glad you haven't lost with that strategy yet cause when you do, you'll lose all the profit you ever made plus more.

In roulette, i've seen black hit 26 times in a row, in baccarat i've seen banker hit 34 times in a row, yes i shat my pants too.

I'm not trying to make a point out of you, but to tell ppl that this strategy is good is nothing short of horseshit.

[Jgresch]

^ and with systems like that one, it takes a while to win a decent amount of money, because each time you win, you only win the minimum...

[dizzybone]

anyone else have troubles withdrawing their money with cibc?

[Jgresch]

^what kind of troubles? it took 2 full business days for me with TD

[TouringTeg]

Nope. A family member withdrew to CIBC on Friday evening, confirmed in the account Tuesday afternoon.

If you made a mistake entering your banking information they will likely call you that the deposit did not go through (if they have any time). The money will appear in your playnow account again. This happened to a friend.

[InvisibleSoul]

i've never gotten to the point where i've got over 7 bets and lost
How many times have you done it?

Like I said, it may have worked for you 100 times already, so you've made $500 from it. But the very next time you try it, it could very well be the one time it fails you for eight straight bets, and suddenly you've just lost $1275. That means even minus your $500 previous profit, you're suddenly $775 in the hole.

and i've never lost more than $400 at the casino
You will at some point if you keep using your "foolproof" system.

i'm not some moron who loses $600 then pulls out another $100 to try and break even, i'm devastated at losing $100, but if i'm going to bet i'd rather follow what i outlined than betting random amounts and taking losses

Not sure what you're talking about, but what I can tell you as a fact is that it doesn't matter what kind of system you have for roulette, the odds stay exactly the same. Your system is in no way better than just random betting.

[Hondaracer]

ive probably done this at least 15 times, sure there may have been times where i only tossed in like $100 and got to the $60 bet and backed out, but i played for 30-45 minutes on $40 and cashed out the rest so i didnt feel too bad, i play the casino for the fun of it not to make money..

if your betting the same amount everytime sure the odds are the same, but 95% of the people who just place random bets never stick on one amount.

At least you have the proper mentality on casino spending... but again, it has only worked for you 15 times... but like I said, it has to work for you 255 times in a row before one bad streak of luck hits, or else you'll be down big.

if your betting the same amount everytime sure the odds are the same, but 95% of the people who just place random bets never stick on one amount.
Doesn't matter. Still doesn't change anything. You have the same odds of winning or losing the big bets vs small bets.

[Jgresch]

if you play for fun then why do you use a system to tell you how to play?

[hkRicer]

i've never gotten to the point where i've got over 7 bets and lost

dude your method is devastating. You are betting $600+ to win $5 and cut your lost. 600 to win 5 box. I rather bet on soccer with this kind of odd, for ex. Brazil vs North Korea

[Hondaracer]

if you play for fun then why do you use a system to tell you how to play?

because typically I walk away from the casino with money in my pocket, while friends who bet sporadically do not, it may only be 40-60, but it's still money in my pocket

as i said, ive never been past the 7th chase, so ive never been in over $400

if you wanted to on a $500 limit between 2 people working on a single bet you could get up to 12 turns to chase your losses, so essentially your betting on say, blackjack that in one of 12 hands you will win, imo those odds are better than trying to just bet randomly as varrying amounts and trying to come out ahead, and yes as IS said, eventually you probably will run into that one devastating loss, but the casino is the casino, and you win some you lose some, i know ill never get to those high high bets because i wouldnt want to lose those large sums, but say i make $100 betting the minimum, at that point that $100 is all profit, so then who cares if i bet it all on a single hand and walk away, i didnt lose anything but profit.

also keep in mind, once your up say $20, that allows you 4 minimum bets to play with, so it's not like your just sitting back at a loss, your playing with profit as soon as you win a single hand.

[TheSalesman]

Did I do something wrong?
I played 2 hands of bacarrat and now It says I have $125 cash and $90 token.
And says I can't redeem $90 token for cash?

[Hondaracer]

i had to play with my own $100 two times before the $100 token was applied

then i played 1 more hand at 50/50 then cashed out, i couldnt do it in 2 hands like the RFD thing said, i dunno if it was just a delay or what not

It's because of the extra $10 bonus

[TheSalesman]

hmmm anyone else had this problem?

[TheSalesman]

I did it the redflag deals way and then I played 1 $10 hand of blackjack.

I ended up playing 3 hands of baccarat and 1 $10 hand of blackjack and ended up with the token money.
$215! sweet!

[rice cooker]

i lol everytime i see a guy that thinks they have a "sytem" to beat table games. invisiblesouls the only guy that knows there is NO system and that u will lose in the long run. casinos might only have 5% edge but that is still -ev for anyone that puts $ on a table game.

I'm just at work now...deposited $100. After the bonus and everything ... my total Account balance is at $175. I'm walking away with some gas money. All that in 5 minutes or so.

[turb0triX]

Just a heads up, I used my bank account to withdraw the winnings from my dad's account that I made and it worked like a charm. Guess they don't check bank account names (if it's even possible).

anyone else try this?

[TouringTeg]

I think they just changed the system over the last couple days so that it has to be to a bank account under the same name as the playnow account.

Just did the Baccarat method with a family member tonight. You are not able to change the name on the bank account and you actually save it to the account now. It also asks you to re-enter your playnow.com password twice now throughout the withdrawl process. Looks like they are still working on upgrading security features.

[HonestTea]

Hows everyone doing? ;)

[TouringTeg]

Hopefully no one here is getting hooked.

Some of my friends and family have been smart and walked away with $100+ each as well.

[rice cooker]

bclc know exactly what they are doing. they are relying on the ppl who cant control themselves to make a profit. and ya, its not hard to lose control haha

[turb0triX]

anyone get a phone call from bclc (1-866-815-0222)? they called me this morning, but i missed it. trying to call them back but the hold time is ridiculous.
edit-nvm call finally went thru, found out what the call was for.

There is a Sports tab on that site.

actually come to think of it, i used my regular BCLC account which i originally registered for sports action like 2 years ago on the playnow site..

but i doubt you can get the free $100 credit by betting sports action, might as well just do the baccarat method then use the free $100 towards sports action.
