They don't offer me the free bets for the rakeback challenge. They did the first month I deposited and I took it for $50 total but since then I don't get a choice. Poker only.

I asked FoxBet/Pokerstars if they were bringing back the Wednesday deposit bonus, as I'm pretty sure the terms said the promo would last until the end of the year. I got no response...

Fun fact- Foxbet has some sort of promo each day of the week, except for Wednesday.

The way the Michigan online law is written it is literally impossible.

Cross posted this in the BetMGMMI thread as well, but the multisite / multitabling tool Jurojin was kind enough to get BetMGMMI working with their software upon my request. It was pretty simple to do being a PartyPoker skin for them. Already was working with PSMI.

Check it out.

Thank you!

Hopefully it sticks around until the end of the year, as per the initial plan.

Bleh, deep in 2 tournaments tonight, I got the message that it couldn't find my location. I'm on a desktop, this has never happened to me. Missed like 2 orbits in each tournament. Emailed support, they don't seem to give a **** though, just told me I should restart my computer...

Just an FYI (and Koss / browni3141 taught me this), the Blackjack daily challenge is where the money is at. Way more so than the weekly deposit.

Below you can see my daily tracker. The first couple days were only rougher because I was still figuring out how to clear the bonus. Better to do it at the American roulette table. I use Koss's method right now....bet $10 on the first 4 hands. The 5th hand is whatever I need to bet to get to -50 (or...hopefully win).

Blackjack strategy here.

You're running hot but the ev of that promo is roughly $20/day which is insane. They made it nice by making the $25 easy to clear. Its 18 spins at $2 spin on roulette. You'd have to run really bad not to get anything out of it.

Yes, yes, yes. I would also say that Spin & Go is one of the most tilting gametypes ever.

(I attempted grinding them on ACR one summer and almost lost my mind.)

Definitely a small edge game that is reliant on RB to make any real money, but I could see the edges on stars.mi/stars us network being decently high for at least a little while as the people that have never played them or short stack hypers figure things out.

Yes.
Or you can bet 45 because a double or split would get you to 90...if you are concerned about a bet that big.

I frequently do 20s and 40s and dork around until the 5th bet at which point I bet to get to -50.
If I'm at -80 then I bet 30. If I'm at +80 then I bet 130. But you don't have to go that high if you're not comfortable with that.

i've been watching HS slots on twitch relentlessly. i wish stars had the premium stuff like Stake and Roobet does. I tried the stars gorilla slot and the graphics don't do it for me.

No issues here as well. BetMGM on the other hand has been giving me problems ever since live dealer launched.

Same - no issues with PSMI. BetMGM has been giving both my wife and I issues since Friday or so. Probably in line with live dealer, but I don't really do much of that stuff. Both desktop (wifi dongle) and laptop (built-in wifi).

Just got an updated Poker Challenge today. This time I got the $110 challenge. I wasn’t expecting it today as I thought they offer them at the start of every month but I’ll take it.
Also starting the daily Blackjack too, good info/strategy above!
