First time playing the Ripper Casino pokies tournament last weekend
How'd you actually go in the tourney, or was it a case of the feature dodging you all weekend? I've been meaning to have a slap at one of those Ripper pokies comps myself but haven't pulled the trigger yet, mostly because it's an offshore joint, so if a cashout ever got stuck there's no local regulator to ring up about it. That's the part that keeps my bankroll discipline in check before I deposit.
From what I've seen, tourney play changes how you chase the bonus too - you're grinding spins for leaderboard points rather than hunting the free games, so the bet size per spin matters way more than it does on a normal session. Keen to hear whether the pokies were paying or if the machines were dead for you. 😭🎰
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
Dodged the feature all arvo saturday, Tassie, but the sunday session actually turned it around a bit. Nothing flash, just enough to keep me interested. You're right to be wary about the offshore side of things though, no local regulator to ring if a cashout goes missing, so I only ever play with what I'm happy to lose. Bit like the old-school grind at the club, except the machine never has to answer to anyone 😄
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
RngGod that sunday turnaround is the way it goes aye, the feature pays when IT wants 😅 got my own tourney sesh planned soon, how did the leaderboard pace feel, was everyone spinning flat out or could you chill a bit? 🎰🔥
One slot, one love 🎰
Chasing the feature all arvo then landing it sunday, been there too many times 😅 only gripe I'd say is offshore cashouts, no local backup if it goes sideways. Still, spinning online beats the club dead machines 🎰🔥
Leaderboard pace is the real question with these comps, Brizzie, last one I entered everyone was spinning flat out, so you can't chill, you just end up burning your session in half the time. I keep it simple: small bet per spin to stretch the entries and hope the feature does the heavy lifting. If the tourney's ranked on biggest single win instead of turnover, then sure, size up, but most of them are grind comps and flat out wins it.
On the offshore side, I just run the bankroll like it's money I've already waved goodbye to. Wager, clear whatever promo's attached, and pull the lot the second it's cashable. Never let a balance sit there. No local regulator means you can't ring anyone if a cashout stalls, so the discipline has to come from your end. 💸🎰

Small bets stretching entries sounds nice till the feature dodges you and the leaderboard's run away anyway 😄 offshore cashout worry's fair though. ah well, we grind on
@DaveBonus this is exactly what scares me 😅 I'm still learning bonuses and my first tournament attempt burnt through my deposit way quicker than expected. Does the entry rate depend on bet size or just spin count? Thinking of setting myself an A$20 cap like SlotQueen said next comp 🤔🙏
Asking dumb bonus questions — that's the job.
Small bet per spin works till the pace kills it, seen that myself. I'd rather set a A$20 session cap and walk if the feature dodges. Anyone actually banked a cashout off these comps? 💸
Bankroll discipline wins 💸

@Multiplier_777 landing it sunday after all arvo of chasing? worth it ngl 😤🤑 offshore cashouts been fine for me so far... cleared a A$180 comp win no dramas 🎰🔥
Backing my slot to the last spin.
@VoltSpin2000 maybe I'm being dumb but I thought it was spin count too, turns out bigger bets climb the board faster so us small punters kind of crawl 😅 my first deposit at Ripper went quicker than I planned as well, chasing a bonus round that never showed.
Doing the A$20 cap next time for sure, feels like the only way I actually enjoy it. TurboLuck banking A$180 gives me a bit of hope though 🙏 did you have to verify anything before that cashout came through? Still working out how all that side works tbh.
New here, soaking it up.

@Arvo_Mate not dumb, the rules are buried for a reason. Chasing a bonus round that never shows is how they get you. Did you withdraw anything at all? Got a cashout screenshot or just a burnt deposit?
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.

@VarianceFC good question, I'm still working out cashouts myself 😅 Is a screenshot of a withdrawal request even proof, or does it need to be the funds actually landing?

@VarianceFC fair point about buried rules, same thing got me on the wagering req last week 😅 Haven't tried a cashout yet so no screenshot from me, but @Nick_Fortune's question is a good one, does a pending request actually count or does it need the money to hit the account? Still working that out myself 🤔

@VoltSpin2000 mate, you've worked out the trick already: entry points usually scale with bet size, so small punters crawl while the high rollers lap the board. That's by design. The comp is just a reason to churn your deposit faster while feeling like you're "in the running".
My advice: keep the A$20 cap, treat the leaderboard as decoration, and don't chase a feature that's dodging you. And on Ripper generally, I don't rate a claim of a smooth cashout from a mate-of-a-mate. Post the withdrawal screenshot with timestamps or I file it under "believe it when you cash out". Anyone here banked one from these comps themselves?
Licence first, deposit after.
Higher bets climbing faster is how it works at the pub pokies too tbf 😅 I just set my A$20 and enjoy the spins, placing top of the board was never on the cards for me anyway 🎰🔥

@FreoNorth73 same mindset here, set a small limit and treat it as entertainment. I only just learnt the tournament scoring favours bigger bets 😅 still learning bonuses, no chance I'd top a board anyway.

@CasinoTV don't write yourself off mate, even a small punt can climb a board 😄 I threw A$20 in last week and hit a bonus round that paid huge ngl 🔥 bigger bets just mean faster points, ah well
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
