Hey everyone, just wanted to share a quick update on my session last night. Usually, I stick to my routine—play for maybe an hour on Friday nights with a couple of beers—but work has been absolute chaos this week. My boss is on a rampage, so I needed to unwind a bit yesterday (Tuesday) even though I usually don't play mid-week.
I deposited $75, which is my strict limit. If that goes, I’m done. I started out on Gates of Olympus, betting $0.60. Honestly, the first 30 minutes were brutal. Just dead spin after dead spin. My balance drained down to about $12.40. I was literally hovering over the "close window" button, ready to cut my losses and go to bed angry.
Then, out of nowhere, I hit the four scatters. The bonus round started terrible, literally paid $0.80 for the first 5 spins. I was rolling my eyes. But then, on the last 3 spins, I caught a massive tumble with a 50x multiplier orb that actually connected. Boom. Balance shot up to $180. I decided to press my luck and switched to Sweet Bonanza for a few rounds. Got lucky again with a quick feature buy (risky, I know) and ended the session sitting at $342.
Now, here is the part that actually matters to me. We all know the feeling of winning and then losing it all back because the withdrawal takes 3 days and you get bored waiting. The "reverse withdrawal" button is basically my worst enemy.
I was playing at for this session. I signed up there last week because a buddy told me they don't mess around with payouts, but this was my first time actually trying to cash out something decent.
I requested $300 via crypto (kept the $42 to play with later in the week). I went to take a shower and make some food. I checked my wallet about an hour and a half later, and the funds were already there. No "pending" status for 48 hours, no "send us a selfie with a newspaper" nonsense (I did the basic KYC when I signed up).
Honestly, that speed is the only thing I care about these days. I've had wins of $1k+ at other places that took a week to hit my bank, and the stress just ruins the high of winning.
Anyway, not a massive jackpot, but $300 pays for my groceries and gas for the week, so I'm happy. Going to take a break until the weekend now. Has anyone else had similar speeds with them lately, or did I just get lucky with the timing?
Cheers.
