G'day, new to Richards Casino, anyone had a slap on it yet?
Havent had a slap on it yet myself, but I'd want the boring boxes ticked first: which games actually count toward wagering, how many times through before a cashout, and what the KYC asks look like. RTP is long-run, not one session, so a shiny welcome promo means nothing if the turnover rules eat it. Anyone here done a withdrawal yet?
Volatility > vibes.
Freo_Dad summed it up, no payout, no proof. Until someone posts an actual cashout screenshot, every "it paid me" reads like promo to me.
Hype isn't a payout.
Ha, fair call Blue, seen a few "it paid me" posts in my time that smelt like copywriting. I'll sit tight for a real cashout shot too 😄
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
Yeah nah, same camp as Blue - I don't chase bonuses where nobody's posted a cashout. Show me a screenshot with the wagering cleared, then I'll have a slap. 🔥
turn 50 into 5k once on the old high-pay pokies, ah those machines hit different. but fair go Blue, waiting for a cashout shot is sensible. Still, someone's gotta be first through the door or every new joint stays forever "unproven", eh? i'd just want the turnover numbers and KYC sorted before my A$ goes anywhere. ah well, we grind on
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
BookVegas hit on something with the "someone's gotta be first" line, and the maths agrees with him more than the screenshot mob realise. A new joint with no cashout proof is just an unmeasured sample - one punter clearing wagering and posting the receipt tells you more about the actual terms than twenty "looks legit" posts ever will. That said, I'd only volunteer to be first if the wagering multiplier and the eligible games list are published in full before I deposit a dollar. If they're vague about which games count or how many times through your balance has to go, that's the variance nuance: a high multiplier on low-RTP pokies means the expected value is still negative even before you factor in withdrawal friction.
My own rule for any new site: deposit the smallest amount that triggers whatever welcome offer exists, play only games I've tracked the hit rate on, and treat the first session as data collection, not a crack at the grand.
Bah, you lot waiting for a screenshot forever while I'm already spinning 😅 someone's gotta test it and it might as well be me. If the wagering screws me, ah well 🔀🎰
The hit is close, I can feel it.
Agree with Maccas being the guinea pig, with one caveat: do it on your own A$, skip the bonus until someone's read the wagering terms properly. If the games weighting is murky or table play counts at a pittance, you can torch a session chasing a requirement that was never realistic to begin with. On a small spin sample nobody can tell you the actual variance of the place anyway, one punter's screenshot is a data point, not a dataset, as Josh said.
For the rest of us watching: what I'd want recorded from Maccas's run is the KYC turnaround, whether the wagering counter displays in real time, and which titles actually moved the bar. Post those three and even us spreadsheet types 📊 will know whether a proper slap is worth it. Good luck with the feature, mate.
Do the EV, then spin.
@AllInEveryTime_TillIWin fair point on the raw cash, but cmon mate, skipping the bonus is half the fun 😅 I gave the welcome deal a slap last night and the pokies weighting seemed sweet to me, spins were flying. Maccas go get that receipt 🤑🔥🎰
Backing my slot to the last spin.

@Dave777 weighting seemed sweet how though? Did the welcome deal terms actually say pokies count 100% or are you just guessing from vibes 😅 I'm still learning bonuses and got burnt before by table games counting like 5%. Maccas if you read the wagering first let us know the playthrough yeah? 🙏
New here, soaking it up.

@TiltKing777 nah don't guess, read the terms page before you touch the welcome deal, pokies weighting and the playthrough number are both in there, learnt that the hard way once 😅💰
Backing my slot to the last spin.
@Dave777 vibes-based weighting is how blokes get cooked mate 😅 TiltKing's right, check if the terms actually say pokies 100% before you send anyone in. That said I had a slap on the welcome deal too and the pokies were humming, nearly cleared the playthrough off one hot run... 🔥🤑
One slot, one love 🎰
Dave777, "seemed sweet" means nothing on a small spin sample, mate. Spins flying just tells me the hit rate is okay, which matters more than RTP anyway until the variance bites. If you took the welcome deal, post the actual wagering multiple and game weighting when you're done, because Maccas clearing it on raw cash tells us zip about the bonus maths. A$50 of your own money surviving is a fun night; A$50 through a dodgy requirement is just EV burning.
