Stan James Mobile and Casino Bonus

The Deal

Stan James have come through with another free £10 SNR bet for anyone placing a £10 bet via their mobile phone.

They also sent me an email offering a £10 casino bonus if I correctly guessed the winner of the Eurovision contest. This offer was valid for anyone who'd bet £10 before the offer closed. Convenient. =)

The Result

I found a couple of easy matches and netted £8.31 from the £10 SNR bet.

I went for huge favourites, Norway, in the Eurovision and got the £10 casino bonus. Having got it I figured I should find out what the terms were. You can't withdraw the bonus, you can only gamble with it. I played some blackjack and won a few rounds. Because you play with your winnings first I pulled the cash out of stan james a few times to lock in a profit. I managed to squirell away £6.50 before going on a losing streak and zeroing the bonus balance. Pretty happy with the result, though it's probable that there is a better betting strategy than the one I went with.

So my good friend Stan has given me £14.81 this month. What a good bloke he is!

Starting strong

Today's Grab

I fell short on my cash goal last week, but I did spot a couple of likely options.  One of these was a signup bonus for Jackpot Joy.  Quidco will pay out £25 for a signup and deposit of £10.  You do have to wager at least £10 so you can't just put the money in, pull it back out and run.

Still, I figured £10 in and £25 out sounds a good deal, and I might even win.  Only minor wins meant I used 9 of my 10 quid to hit the wager requirements.  That leaves me £16 ahead.  Not bad for 5 minutes work!

The Tally

I've ventured into territory where I've outlayed money to get a larger return.  Should work out well in the long run, but for now it drives my cash in hand into the negatives.

Cash in hand: -£9

Expected Earnings: £50.50
