Anyone actually win at Rivals anymore?

[IGAMBLEALOT]

I must say I am really starting to wonder about Rivals! I had $200 to play with and I was betting between .40-.80 a spin and played 6 different games. I got the bonus rounds only 3 times and one time got a big fat ZERO off the spins and the other 2 times I won a whopping $3....come on! Something just seems strange about this now. Not too mention I got the bonus round on the time machine game where you click the cash machine thingy and the first click it was the ZERO! Yeah, whatever! Out of 20 keys I just happen to click the ZERO key....UGH!!!!

eisha, been there too, thanks for sharing the story, you're in good company... I call those my mama hogg moments - (remember, the pigs get fed but hogs get slaughtered saying?) - but its all part of gambling. I've got oodles of screenshots like that myself...

thanks everyone for sharing stories, I really appreciate it!

Thos screenshots doesnt impress me much when there is such huge bet..and you did not cash out, it not only your chioce...the casinos are pro´s on keeping you playing and not letting you win too much and so on...

I said to cocoa I will permanently close my account if I lose on my next free chip...the manager though my bad luck must be over soon so she gave me a $50 chip....right away I won and was up in $400 and went up and down for a long time...I even made the playthough.....how lucky I was!!....you really think that? Nonono....the free chip had MIN cashout limit of 10X the bonus ($500)...LMAO! Ive never won that much at Cocoa...and when I say I will permanently close my account if I dont win next time... Anyone see where Im goin here?
Ok for you guys that dont understand... when I say I will permanently close my account whch I now have the let me win some so I think Im lucky and that it IS possible to win... and the reason is to keep me as a depositor.

And when the MIN cashout limit of $500 is actaully a limit of how much I can win....or the more likly $499,99 so a withdrawal is not possible... If there is not a playthough to fight there is a MIN cashout. and that MIN cashout is more than Ive ever won here but Im still lucky anough to win more than I have never done here....

Wow...Im surprised how advanced the Rival casino software really is and how they can manipulate payouts and set limits and so on...

You guys should have seen my gamesession and what ive seen playing these casinos.....this is tooo scary for me, Im out! Eject Eject!!

ceks I'd lol but it's not funny... those t+c's kill me every time too... bonus is not withdrawable, withdrawals limited by not winning enough... and the playthrough on free chips yikes, that one we got last week for ten dollars had a 60x playthough cmon how crazy is that...

[CareyG]

And that is why I do not ever claim a bonus at Rivals. If its a straight deposit you have no worries about T&C's!!

[ceks79]

Yes and one of the worst Rivals, Slot Power and Vanguard have at elast 50 playthough on ordinary matchoffers...and still CasinoMeister himself approve these two like no other Rivals have been approved...??? Why? Whats so good with those two? The probably pay him in some way or his girlfriend work there...

If you want a good bonus...check you Cocoas tuesday promos....I think they had a couple of 40% match with 140x playthough...LOLOOL!

Ok, Im done here!

Talk about Mama Hogg...I made 2 withdrawals from Ruby Royal earlier this month totaling $4000 and I played it all back!! My a## is still sore from kicking it!! I don't know what the hell I was thinking!! I may never get that opportunity to cash out that much again. And that was on a bonus free deposit of $30!

I did manage to regain my senses and made a nice withdrawal of $500 from iNetBet on a $11 bonus free deposit.

Still kicking myself over the Ruby Royal thing!!!

[labell]

oh cas I understand, feel it right with ya...

Well, the shame of it is that most of those screenshots came after the playthrough was met. On the 70% bonus, it doesn't have a max cashout and playthrough was only 25x. Not too bad on a $25 deposit, bonus total $40 couple bucks.

I have found at all rivals, when they are hitting good, they are hitting good, but when they are hitting bad, they are hitting bad.

I'm also convinced the games leave off where you left them and pic back up where you left them. only your play affects the play of the slot.

Hi, I have to say that some of the Rival casino's seem tighter. When I first started playing Ruby Royal I won $1300 almost immediately and sent home $1000 of it but haven't been able to do it again at that casino. I do have to add though that last Thursday I received a knock on the door and there was the FedEx guy with a package for me. It turned out to be two really nice bottle of wine in a beautiful box and a Christmas card from Ruby Royal. Boy you could have bowled me over with a feather over that one. I have deposited maybe $4000 there in the last few months. I have been winning rather well at Fortune Reel. I won $1000 and sent home $820 about a week ago. Dendera I won $700 and sent home $380 and am still waiting for it because I just sent in the documents today. I love their games but it becomes addicting and for what I deposit it's never enough of a win. I don't much like their bonuses because it takes forever to meet the playthrough so I try to stay away from them as much as possible so that when I win I can just send it home. It is kind of funny that with all the free bonuses that I've gotten lately I don't think I've sent home anything from them. I have been internet gambling now for about 10 years and have gambled probably $200,000 in that time. The smartest thing I could do to win is to not gamble at all.

One Rival shows openly how they want to trick lucky players to reverse any possible withdrawal and adds another 17X playthrough... Unbelivable!

I just had a pretty good run at Simon Says again. I claimed a 65% bonus and deposited 100.00. I was playing phsycadelic 60's and got the free spins and got 800.00. (had 2.00 bet) and then hit on scary rich a bonus round for 3500.00 on a 2.00 bet. That is my biggest hit yet on a bonus round. Ended up cashing out 4500.00. They seem to be taking the full 5 business days to pay though.

[judyb57]

What a great way to start the New Year hon, congratulations!!!

[ceks79]

Anyone win anything here?... It has gone a month now and someone may have cashed out $4000 but we all here probablöy have deposited $1,000,000 the last month...Im really suspisous about whats goin on... Maybe I should play on football or Keno at our goverments gambling company with 55% payout %..I see mto win more there than at all online casinos these days...

No way the only online casinos have 97% payout %...just impossible. Maybe counted in coins but not in dollars!

[Anton DB]

Wonder how I've missed this thread..

No, besides a few small cashouts, its not what it used to be.
During the summer Ive had some really good runs at Rivals, but nothing much ever since September.
November and December were the worst, on some of my deposits I could not even manage to make TWO times playthrough, and those were $35 + $70 bonus playing 0.40 per spin max.
Most irritating I find is each time I finally manage to hit 3 expanding wilds on Scary 1 or 2 the payout is still total crap.
My last 3 vampires paid 100x bet, I got that 3 times in a row, each time reel 4 and 5 had Frankenstein scatters on them, jeez, almost threw my PC out of the window the third time, lol.

My recent cashout at Dendera was not thanks to the scary's, it was So 80's that went on a scatterfrenzy, 60 freespins paid over $300 on a 0.75 spin.
Could cashout $170 from it after losing half to make the playthrough.

Nice, but nothing compared to the cashouts I had during the summer.

[eishagirl]

wouldn't you know that i would get a good run on my last $10 freechip and had my balance up to $1300 before betting $20 a spin just to get down tot he minimum of $50 that i could cash out.

[tessa35]

I hear you eishagirl, been there done that. I am very upset right now with Ruby Royal because after depositing thousands over the last few months I logged in to collect my weekly 10% cashback and all the promotions were gone. I got into live chat and asked why and she said that because I had multiple account at other Rival casino. I told her that I had never opened multiple accounts and why after all these months and all that I have deposited was this coming up right now....she didn't answer this but she said I had opened more than one account...not in their casino but in others.....and that I could still deposit but not get any promotions. I told her that THEY HAD JUST LOST A VERY GOOD CUSTOMER!!! I am really fed up so I took most of my Rival casino's off my PC. It's really funny because I just bragged about how I had gotten two really nice bottles of wine from them at Christmas. I'm really confused but it tells me that I should stop putting my money into casino's and spend it on more important things.

[lkvikings]

I am a fan of Rivals, however I must say they seem very tight lately. Hopefully its just a dry spell that will pass.

I will say that we could also start a thread.."Does anyone win at RTG's"?
God I can't win crap at them. I do get to play awhile but never come close to cashing out.

[labell]

Tessa, sorry you have now joined our ranks as a "bonus abuser" - I'm bannd from receiving bonuses at 85% of the Rivals for the exact same reasons you just stated. But I don't have multiple accounts either ;( It's hurtful, one day you think you're a great customer and the next they treat you like dirt. So sorry you've experienced it.

I've cashed out a few hundred here and there but definitely nothing like the wins of last spring. The record 60 file updates the other day was amazing to watch... is it that all the casinos update but only Rival shows us how many files are being changed? I swear I always think they're whittling down the payback percentage with each tweak. Wish I didn't like the games.
