If you enjoy it and see the profit as a bonus then good luck to you, but reading your site it sounds like you are trying to promote what you have done as a gambling triumph that others should be looking to achieve.
Any thoughts?

You made some very good points in your post, and I truly welcome the feedback as I don't get very much!
Your last paragraph indeed does sum up my 'achievements' and the way I view my gambling. I got hooked on fruities at a very early age and wasted more money on them than I like to admit (£30,000+ over 20-ish years is probably a conservative figure). I later moved on to also doing horses, then Bricks & Mortar casinos, and finally online casinos.
I have never been a high-roller or got into really serious debt but I was wasting a stupid amount of money compared to my average income.
I did know I had a problem and I had to stop wasting money like I was, so I made a conscious attempt to become a 'bonus hunter' (in May 2001). This proved to be a turning point for me as I discovered with a bit self control it was possible to make frequent profit online. I suppose at first I viewed it as a 'vendetta' against the gambling providers - an attempt to get my money back!
As time went by I stopped being so ruthless (e.g. not just playing low-edge games like BlackJack to clear bonuses) and dabbled with other games, like slots.
You're spot on that my income/hour does sound pretty pathetic but I am more than happy with it. Before I started what I'm doing now I was wasting many £1,000's per year - frittering it away really. Now I am gaining a similar amount instead.
I get the best of both worlds - I satisfy my hunger for gambling
and I make money. I know a lot of gamblers take it
very seriously and it can cause stress and distress, but I honestly do play with a smile on my face. Why shouldn't I - my gambling has been entirely self-funding since mid-2001 and I actually have some savings in the bank for the first time ever in my whole life!

KasinoKing while you seem to be a decent bloke on these forums, and I never have a problem with the fact your putting a link to your website everywhere, I just hope that you never 'influence' other members or guests on this or any other forum, or delude the fact that your 'methods' work, are percentagable (word?) or accurate based only on your given times/dates.
My uncle was a bad gambler, and I dont believe in influencing false facts, which im not imposing you are Kasino, IMHO like whats stated on your website isn't a system, I think the word we should be looking at is experience(s)

Also correct.
My site started off more as a blog really, and I only launched it a year ago after having been a frequent online gambler for nearly 5-years.
My aim was to show people that it is possible to win online, and to guide them to only the reputable casinos so they hopefully wont get ripped off.
Of course my site includes affiliate links to the casinos - but I will not promote any 'dodgy', places no matter how big their incentives are.
I know there is no way to prove it to you, but everything on my site is truthful, including my personal casino results. Do you seriously think anyone would be sad enough to sit down & make all that up!
Call it 'system' or 'experience' or anything you like, but for me it
does work. It's not like I'm trying to sell anything - all my guides are free to view by anyone.
Whether my site 'influences' others to try to achieve the same as me is not something I've really thought about. We are all adults here, I'm sure people who read it can make up their own minds.
Thanks to both of you for the feedback - it is always welcome, good or bad!
Now - I must go off & play some slots...
