Finally signed up at King Billy Casino after months of lurking here
good on ya for finally taking the plunge, mate, months of lurking then a first deposit is how most of us started anyway π i went through kyc there too and it was pretty painless, though i'll hold my judgement till my first cashout lands. curious what games you fed your deposit into - hoping they've got some of the old ones that actually pay and not just the flashy new stuff.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Good to hear the KYC was painless, OtagoBro, because that's usually where offshore sites stumble. I keep a spreadsheet on variance and hit rates, and my advice is judge the cashout before you trust the welcome offer: a fast first withdrawal tells you more about King Billy than any bonus percentage does. π Also worth noting the EV is still negative no matter how smooth the deposit went, so treat the wagering as entertainment cost rather than a plan.
Volatility > vibes.
Thanks OtagoBro π KYC went easy for me too, sent my ID last night and it cleared fast. Cashout will be the real test π€ what games count most toward wagering here?
New here, soaking it up.
Good call on the spreadsheet, though I'd add cashout speed and which pokies actually count 100% toward wagering. Cleared a bonus there last week playing low-vol slots and banked the lot πΈ
Tramping15, mate, warm welcome to the other side of the fence, lurkers always make the best players in the end, too many opinions and too little lost money π
On wagering, the old slots hit different, and that's half the answer: most places give full weight to pokies and shave the count on table games, so check the terms sheet before you spin rather than after. SamRotorua832's onto something with low-vol stuff. I ground out a bonus on plain old fruit-style reels back in the day and it limped through far smoother than chasing one big hit ever did. Patience beats greed every time; turned 50 into 5k once by refusing to touch the bonus buy, took me a fortnight and I sipped my tea through every spin.
Keep us posted on that first cashout, the veterans are watching quietly π
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
@Tauranga_Loyal spot on about pokies counting full towards wagering, that's half the reason I picked King Billy too. My welcome bonus came through with the slots weighted properly and I cleared it in no time on my favourite π₯ Jack_Chur is right, some of the pokies there just PAY... biggest night of my year on that thing π€π°
The hit is close, I can feel it.
Ha, lurkers to depositors. That's the classic pipeline alright π dropped my first NZ$ in there too and been on it every evening since, KYC took barely a minute for me. Bit deflated my low-vol session yesterday but banked a sweet hit the night before so no complaints π€ keen to hear how everyone's cashouts go before I request mine π°π₯
One slot, one love π°
King Billy's my evening ritual too, the pokies there just hit different π₯ hit big on there last night, still buzzing... this slot pays, trust me π€π°
@Jack_Chur "this slot pays, trust me" is exactly what I said last month and my bank left in style anyway π€£π€£ every pokie pays right up until it decides your evening ritual needs a donation. Glad yours buzzed though, did you clear it through wagering or raw cashout?
One more spin, promise.
@Jack_Chur did you clear that win through the wagering or cash it raw? Still working out how the bonus terms count pokies here π
maybe I'm being dumb but the weighting confused me

@Jack_Chur same here, cleared my welcome wagering on that slot no worries, pokies count full there π€ machine just keeps giving π₯π°
One slot, one love π°
Yeah the full weighting on pokies at King Billy is exactly why I signed up too, makes the welcome wagering way less painful. Did a NZ$100 deposit and worked the bonus at 50c a spin, got lucky around halfway through clearing it and banked a decent hit, straight into the cashout pile π° Cashing out in time is everything, learnt that the hard way last month πΈ
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
