Social Casino Beginner’s Guide

Note: This post is about gambling. Play responsibly.

This guide is for anyone in the United States who is curious about making money with social casinos by making deposits. However, if you are looking for a free to play (f2p) route, I’ve marked the sections that are for pay to play (p2p) users.

Sorry to anyone outside the US! This post isn’t for you.

Ultimate Goal

The goal is to make money. It’s not to gamble, chase jackpots, or play risky. We’re not trying to hit home runs here. The aim is to hit singles over and over again. Avoid getting caught up in deals that aren’t worth it, promotions that aren’t worth your time, and VIP levels that have high barriers.

With the exception of stake.us, we will be flipping daily bonuses at least once, dollar for dollar. Make sure you pay close attention to the amount of credit that must be washed. We don’t want to wash more than necessary.

All social casinos have high minimums that range from $50 to $100. Some have a lower threshold with gift card options if you so desire.

For P2P users: Usually, we can get somewhere between 90% to 98% of our deposit back by washing deposits from unplayed to redeemable credit.

Mathematical Example

For P2P users: Let’s suppose you take advantage of a deal on Wow Vegas. It’s happy hour and they are offering 50% off on three different purchase points. You can spend $112.97 to receive $175 of credit. You decide to spin on Wilds of Fortune, 10 cent spins, 1,750 spins total and get 90% of your deposit. Your ending balance is $157.50. Deducting your expense for the deposit, you’ve now made $44.53 in profit! You’ll withdraw the full amount and receive your $157.50 within 3 to 5 business days. You’ll then use $112.97 to pay off your credit card (if you used one) and pocket the difference.

Account Preparation for Withdrawals and Taxes

Note: This is not official tax advice. Take my advice at your own risk. Also, this entire section is for P2p users.

If you plan to make deposits, the only way to take them off your taxes is to itemize or utilize Schedule C. Itemizing has a massive barrier and is probably not worth your time. However, Schedule C will require you to operate like a business. I cannot speak to the forms required for Schedule C because I pay a tax guy to handle this for me. However, you’ll need the following to prove that you are operating like a business and avoid getting audited:

• Separate bank account.
• Separate credit card that will accept casino deposits (I recommend Wells Fargo Active Cash card for 2% cash back on all purchases).
• Good recordkeeping of deposits and withdrawals (you can see my monthly report as an example at https://atlasearthguides.com/other-apps/#report).
• Receipts for all your purchases. Bank and credit card statements are useful to prove receipts, however, they are not sufficient proof in it of themselves if you get audited.

I highly recommend opening an account with Skrill at https://www.skrill.com/en/. Many social casinos I frequent will take payments to and from Skrill. If you make a lot of transactions in a short period of time with your credit card, there is a high chance your card will get flagged for fraud. You’ll have to call your company and get it cleared so that you can reuse your card. Thus, I highly recommend using your card for large transactions and Skrill with smaller transactions. I also recommend using Skrill with Wow Vegas happy hour since it will require three purchases in quick succession. Once you open your Skrill account, get it verified and make a deposit so that you are a “true skriller” and avoid paying $5.50 for each withdrawal.

Stake.us and Luckybird.io are the only crypto social casinos that I use. If you plan on using these, I highly recommend creating an account on Coinbase at https://www.coinbase.com/. If you sign up for Coinbase, you can create/find your specific wallet address for the specific cryptocurrency you are cashing out to at https://accounts.coinbase.com/profile/crypto-addresses.

If you plan to use a Credit Card, then I highly recommend not carrying a balance. Interest will eat away at your profits, so make regular payments to ensure that you carry 0 balance to ensure that you don’t pay interest. However, you could also opt to using a Skrill account exclusively both as a means to deposit and withdraw funds.

Make sure you set aside a portion of your winnings to pay for taxes. Ensure that you include gift card withdrawals as they are also taxable.

Sites to Register For Immediately

After you get your account ducks in a row, or if you plan to go f2p, your next step is to register for social casinos!

Bear in mind that all social casinos will require your ID (typically driver’s license) and may also require proof of residence, bank account statement, and your SSN for tax purposes.

I recommend you register in the following immediately for daily bonuses and get yourself verified ASAP. Links contain referral codes unless unavailable. I’ll address additional sites and deals later in the guide. You can find specifics on each one at https://atlasearthguides.com/other-apps/.

I also recommend that you join the Discord group at https://discord.gg/TqYyPk7r to receive alerts on additional opportunities to collect free credit.

24 Hour cooldown or less (group together):

• stake.us: stake.us/?c=Gt5O0WaJ. Make sure you check your email for a $25 bonus! This one is crypto for withdrawal. If you dare, Gold Coins (GC) can be used to build VIP level but it’s brutal! This site does not require washing to cash out.
• Chanced: https://chanced.com/c/fw8l3e. Collect 10 cents with 1 hour cooldown. Potential for $2.40 a day if you never sleep. More likely to be $1 to $2 per day. This site does not require washing to cash out.
• Luckyland Slots: https://www.luckylandslots.com/. Low value for streak. Eventually builds to $1 per collect.
• Pulsz Bingo: www.pulszbingo.com/?invited_by=hmqrbn. Spin a wheel for variable credit.
• Real Prize: https://www.realprize.com/refer/278587. $0.30 and frequent social media posts for $1 of credit. See Discord link, above.
• Smiles Casino: https://smilescasino.com/. Variable credit available as part of a streak ranging from 50 cents to $2.50.
• Ding Ding Ding: https://dingdingding.com/?referral=fea1cee4-8254-5921-9cc0-2eda2ae12299. Variable credit that is ~$1 per day. Although the daily login bonus does not contain a 24 hour clock, the “pet” feature does, which you’ll want to do for additional credit. Also contains challenges. I highly recommend sticking with only the “spend X GC” challenges using the dice game (more on that later). Save your bingo balls to do the “play 5 bingo games” challenge for 1 SC when you have enough. If you buy SC, also do the “spend GC on slots” and “win SC on slots” challenges. The rest doesn’t seem to work right or worth your time. Also if you make deposits, bet max on switcheroo.

Daily Collect (collect after 24 hour cooldown):

• Chumba: https://www.chumbacasino.com/. Daily login streak that adds up to $6 every 7 days.
• Ruby Sweeps: https://rubysweeps.com/. Spin the wheel for credit ranging from 50 cents to $20. I hit $15 once!
• Gold Slips: https://play.goldslips.com/. Spin the wheel for credit ranging from 50 cents to $20. I hit $15 once!
• Fortune Coins: https://www.fortunecoins.com/register/b1e38365-03d0-4410-84c0-3fa2f3bf9bd3. 50 cents on days 1 and 2 and $1.20 on day 3 for small streak.
• Crown Coins: https://crowncoinscasino.com/. Contains a streak with variable credit. Gold Coins (GC) can be used to build up VIP level. Social media posts for additional credit is frequent (see Discord link, above).
• High 5 Casino: https://club5.high5casino.com/gc?adId=INV001%3ATastywallet. $0.50 + diamonds available every 4 hours for additional free spins.
• Global Poker: https://globalpoker.com/. Variable credit available as part of a streak ranging from 25 cents to $1.
• Sportzino: https://sportzino.com/register/4b3cf20a-7fe9-4003-b1df-c27a42b639f0. $1 per day.
• Zula Casino: https://www.zulacasino.com/signup/bcaa1ce6-45fd-4ea4-ba1c-d7441821c938. $1 per day.

After you register for ALL of these sites, continue to collect your daily bonuses and work on getting verified. The next section covers which games to play.

Note: For bonuses, I typically wait until I have enough to withdraw assuming I keep 90% of my balance, except if I made a purchase.

Which Games To Play

The games I recommend across the board are the following:

Dice Game

• Set the maximum percentage for winning. Typically this is between 90% to 97%.
• Set the bet to run at least 1,000 iterations (that is, the amount that needs to be washed divided by 1,000) or the bet minimum, whichever is lower.
• Sites that I recommend playing this game:
  • Ding Ding Ding (Play Rocket Dice, over 2 for 1.01X multiplier; averages ~97%)

Below is an example. Ignore the red circle with the faucet.

Plinko

• Maximize the number of rows/slots.
• Minimize your bet per ball. Typically between 10 cents to a dollar.
• Set risk to “low”.
• If possible, maximize the number of available balls.
• Typically between 90% to 95% average return.
• Automation is broken on High 5 Casino, but still the best game to play on the site.
• Sites that I recommend playing this game:
  • High 5 Casino

Below is an example.

Blackjack

• Set the lowest minimum bet you can do. This typically ranges from 10 cents to a dollar.
• Play one hand at a time, not multiple hands at once.
• Follow the strategy guide at https://www.blackjackclassroom.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/single-deck-basic-strategy_001.png.
• Typically between 95% to 99% average return.
• Sites that I recommend playing this game:
  • Pulsz Bingo
  • Luckyland Slots
  • Chumba
  • Global Poker

Joker’s Jewels Wild

• Set your bet to the minimum. Either 5 or 20 cents, depending on site availability.
• Turn on turbo spins.
• Automate based on the number of spins you need to do or close to it.
• Sometimes the autoplay button is to the right of the spin button. Sometimes it’s underneath.
• Typically between 90% to 95% average return. However, if you are doing 0.20 SC spins, your variance can change more drastically.
• Sites that I recommend playing this game:
  • Fortune Coins
  • Real Prize
  • Zula Casino
  • Sportzino

Below is an example. This one has the autoplay button directly underneath the spin button. Notice that spins are at 0.05 SC each.

Unique Sites

• Ruby Sweeps – Play Harvest Spins: Easter Edition. Ensure that you change the minimum bet to 0.25 SC.
• Smiles Casino – Play Epic Joker, minimum bet of 0.10 SC.
• Crown Coins – Play Money Roll, minimum bet of 0.05 SC.

Purchase Strategy

This entire section is for p2p.

If you are planning to use a credit card or Skrill to make deposits, below is my recommended strategy.

Bear in mind that credit card companies will often flag your purchases for fraud if you do too many attempts/purchases in a short period of time. Therefore, I recommend spacing out your purchases to twice per day, once in the morning and a second time in the afternoon/evening. Use Skrill for everything else during the day. If your card is declined, call your credit card company and get your card active again. Then wait 3-4 hours before trying again or use Skrill if you can.

Also, sites may choose to promotion ban you if you make too much money. They won’t tell you and you won’t get banned, but you’ll know when you stop seeing promotions.

My experiences of suspected promotion bans:

• High 5 stopped offering me 10%/20% bonus offers.
• Ruby Sweeps code for Tuesday/Friday bonus stopped working for me.
• Crown Coins stopped giving me promotional offers.

Given the above, pace yourself and complete each step, below, slowly.

Note: It is assumed that you examined https://atlasearthguides.com/other-apps/ for these sites and will start the verification process after registering. It also assumed that you reviewed the information in Account Preparation for Withdrawals and Taxes before making your first purchase.

1. Register for Wow Vegas at https://www.wowvegas.com/?raf=4602186. Between 6 PM to 8 PM EDT, they offer a set of three “happy hour” offers that range from 20% to 100% bonus. I highly recommend using Skrill for all three offers; However, ensure that you do each one only once. If you attempt to try a single one a second time, you’ll get charged again with no bonus. You’ll be doing this every day. If you haven’t used your Social Casino credit card recently or don’t plan to use it, do the highest offer with credit and the rest with Skrill.
   
   If you check “promotions”, and scroll down until you see a section for “Earn Daily Rewards”. If you select “Find out more” and scroll down, you should be able to collect 0.20 SC. This will increase to 0.50 SC once you get bronze status and maintain it with additional regular deposits.
   
   I recommend play Wilds of Fortune, 0.10 SC spins. It will default to 0.80 SC every time you open the slot machine, so ensure that you change it each time you return to it. However, bear in mind that the tracker for SC left to wash is broken. You’ll need to be especially diligent to track your progress. If the site tells you that you still have a lot of SC left to wash. This is especially true if you forgot to account for the daily SC. If this happens, go back to Wilds of Fortune, set your bet to 0.10 SC, do another 10 spins, then check again. Eventually, it will show up right.
   
   This site has a 100 SC minimum to withdrawal. I recommend using Skrill. This typically takes 3 business days to see funds.
   
2. On Chumba, Luckyland, Crown Coins, Real Prize, Pulsz Bingo, Fortune Coins, and Zula look for welcome offers that give 25% or more bonus. Luckybird typically offers a “ducky hour” deal that is 100%. Chumba typically gives offers that are worth your time. Crown Coins, Real Prize, and Pulsz Bingo occasionally gives 15% to 20% offers or higher, though 15% is a bit riskier. You can also take advantage of any “first time” offers that they have, provided that that give 25% or more. Zula will rarely give out offers, but check your emails regularly for any that pops up.
   
3. On Ruby Sweeps, do the 100% welcome bonus with code “WELCOME” on a $20 deposit. You should see the bonus pop up after you enter the code. If you choose a smaller amount to deposit, the $20 offer will disappear forever. This should give you $40 of credit in Emeralds. Play Harvest Spins: Easter Edition. Ensure that you change the minimum bet to 0.25 SC. After that, grind daily bonuses daily to reach 50 Emeralds for your first cash out. Withdrawal to your bank account set aside for Social Casinos. Usually takes 5 to 7 business days. Also, look for Tuesday/Friday bonuses.
   
4. Register for The Money Factory at https://www.themoneyfactory.com/. Take advantage of the $175 deal (if still available) with a $100 deposit. Then play plinko, $1 bets per ball, maximum rows, low risk. You should expect to see $160. Withdraw to Skrill. $60 profit. Drop the site after that.
   
   Important: This site does not send tax receipts. Although you can take a screenshot of your expenditures within the site and prove them using transactions, there is a possibility that the IRS may not accept this if you get audited. However, even if you don’t deduct the $100 payment, you’ll still gain money.
   
5. If you’re not interested in cryptocurrency, skip this one. Register for luckybird.io at https://luckybird.vip/?c=c_tastywallet. The goal here is to gain VIP level 1 to increase your daily SC and chests, alongside VIP daily rewards.
   
   Deposit $50 using the crypto of your choice (you’ll pay a fee) and play dice game, 98% win, 0.01 SC bets. You should see two offers that you’ll be able to collect, $5 for making the deposit and another $20 for the required amount of SC to gamble. You should be able to grab both of these as you slowly lose your money. Spend enough to reach VIP level 1, which is $7000 total spent. Once you reach it, stop playing and focus on collecting bonuses to wash.
   
   There is a $30 minimum withdrawal, however, you’ll pay the same fee whether you withdraw $30, $50, or $100. You decide when you want to pull washed funds out.
   
6. Look for other sites at https://atlasearthguides.com/other-apps/ not mentioned in this guide. They are a bit riskier, but still give you an edge over the casino on average in the long run.
