After my previous Post about 500.casino i kind of slowed down on any of the gambling and was operating at weekly to even monthly rakebacks. Someone in discord suggested that my monthly rakeback due to the 460 to 490k wager would be sufficient to get back at least 800$ to 1400$. It was a good moment to not just be strong but also refuse any more gambling on 500 and ride the days out. After a stunning 188$ monthly rakeback i realised that it is the right call to stop playing on 500 casino in general and call it a day. The extreme low rakeback on monthly is what triggered this.
I’m not saying it’s rigged, it’s bad, none of that. I had quite good cashouts during the days (more then 50k on 500) in 2 days but with most casino’s, depending on your actions your rakeback is going to be the very same (a few percent on house edge) and not be fiddles with. The way the 180$ was presented left me with a bad taste, as they obviously took a significant amount of it. And ofcourse, my seed has been extremely bad during the cashout days till now, and that is no mystery. I just want to be one of the guys who can say “Hey i left that place while being ahead” as that is the right thing todo. Because we’ve all been there, after a big cashout, ending up in a losing streak.
Casino’s obviously hold the rights blabla as long as they meet the expected or presented RTP – I’ve seen big whales lose large chunks of money and the way they are spamming wins sections is to me them playing against their own money. Or lets put it like this: they are paying to be entertained while on the long run simply losing money. I’m affraid this holds up with lots of casino’s – it don’t matter where you play or where you ship your money to, it all comes down to the very same. You’ll lose on the long run. I like playing, don’t get me wrong, but my mindset has always bin, “In it to win it” – as i like to take risk. But knowing how obvious things are for the majority of players.. Ill skip.
My advise to anyone playing – leave while your ahead. And perhaps explore new casino’s instead of Degenning your hard earned money away. Playing for rakebacks, leaderboards, cashbacks etc is just plain stupid. It should always be considered an extra and never the sole reason while your gambling. It’s stupid to pour in 2000$ while getting back 1000$ in rakebacks. But remember these places are designed to make you play as much as possible. It’s the reward for playing that makes you hooked in the first place. And you need to disciplined to not fall for the obvious trap. Sure, playing on someone’s code can be rewarding, but…. Never forgot you and all the others are paying for it.
One thing i do know, streamers are changing the way affiliation for casino’s is working. Since no casino can or will hand out what streamers provide for playing on their code, it’s extremely difficult to even compete with them in the first place. It’s why you see Ayezee coming out to roshtein while both are no better then the other. If a streamer is sponsored with 700k play money on a weekly basis it means that they are playing with promotional money. It’s not like they can preserve 650k out of their wallet and only play with 50k… Who are you kidding if you believe any of them is any real?
