$94,500 Bonus Buy?! Who can afford it?

[Perfectbaby]

Do you honestly know anyone who would bet $100K on a slot?

And do you think bets this big are good or bad for the industry? Personally i think its a bit crazy and the opposite of gambling Responsible.

100k bet size is for those who usually bet higher and of course there are some people out there who doesn’t see that amount as something too higher for them to play with it. I can also sight Drake as an example, I have came across most of his posts on X where he do share the amount he uses to play bet and most time he ends up losing the money, this makes me to start thinking if actually he is using his hard earned money to gamble or he is often being funded by the said site he usually use to gamble.

It has been a heard thing to understand because I am wondering where Drake gets the money he spends on bet and that is not just the my major concern, but his source of his income and how much he spends on gambling. Does he have any savings with the way and amount he spendson bet. If he is representing the betting site with those amounts he usually post online and sometimes shows that he lost bets then it's not a good sign to represent the site we assume he his working for.

I don't.  I might know a few people who could afford to do so, but they didn't become able to afford such a thing by throwing their money away so carelessly.

Spending 100K on a slot is a level of wealth I have yet to accumulate for sure.  I think you'd probably have to be worth $25 million or more to throw away so much money without a worry.

A cool gimmick though.  I'm sure it will get them some attention and who knows, maybe some rich folks will get interested and give it a try.

[Z-tight]

Do you honestly know anyone who would bet $100K on a slot?

No, i do not. I know one or two people who are worth a lot of money and can theoretically afford to spent that on a bet, because for them it is an amount that they can afford to lose, but to the best of my knowledge, they do not gamble.

People gamble with far more money than that and it has nothing to do with it either being good or bad for the gambling industry. As for gambling responsibly, it all depends on who is doing it. If you have $1000, and you are gambling with $100, then that is irresponsible gambling, but what do you think of someone worth $10m, gambling with $1000?

[DPHOR]

What is the possibility that after buying such bonuses with around nearly $100k do you think that winning is sure or being guaranteed?
I do not see any reason why someone would have to spend that big amount for bonus buying because to me there is no possibility or even assurance that whenever such amount is being used up for bonus and when you still gambling then you lose again. There are some Rich person that can buy it but not just all people who are gambling, maybe those who are taken to be VIP can afford it.

If there is a offer for these kinds of spina on slots, it is because there is a market for them, though we are obviously not the target audience for these spins, and that is okey...
Let us remember that on online casinos there are both regular people like us who can afford to lose a relatively small amount of money, while there are also whales who are filthy rich and they can throw away a free hundred thousand of dollars during each gambling session just to have their own dopamine rush.

As long as we understand what our limits are, then we will be okey.

[Darker45]

Because what else are these kinds of contests for?

They're precisely organized to attract high-rollers or at least those above average. Those who are just killing time with their minimum bets are welcome to join but are not welcome expected to win.

Honestly, $100,000 on a slot game is beyond my imagination, but I know crazy rich people could do unimaginable things when bored, and they are most of the time.

This is certainly good for the industry. The bigger their bets, the better for the industry. And I don't think they are necessarily gambling irresponsibly. It could simply be that they can afford to lose huge amounts.

[yhiaali3]

I agree with you. In my view, bets of this size are bad for the industry and I think they are really a form of madness and completely contradict the concept of responsible gambling. These are large sums and very few people can afford this high cost.

But we return to saying that this is a relative matter because $94,500 may be very high for you and me, but for other people it may be normal or even nothing. Some rich people gamble millions just for fun and do not expect to make any profits from it at all.

I just tested the latest slot from Hacksaw Gaming - MAX WIN Challenge , and when I checked the max bet, I was a bit surprised.

$94,500 for the most expensive Bonus Buy, with the highest bet size.

Sure, you can bet for way less, obviously. However, if casinos are offering this, there is obviously a market for these high-roller bets.

Do you honestly know anyone who would bet $100K on a slot?

I don't know personally someone that would bet $100k, but as you have said, there are a lot of whales in the only world that could easily go away and is willing to bet this kind of money. And if you have followed a lot of influencers, some of them might have been betting that amount to show to their followers. If that is their real money, is another point in the discussion.

Why not? there are black jack players that are being $100k per hand. It doesn't matter to them, that is their money in the first place. We can't question what's their intention or why there are betting that kind of money in a slot. But one thing is for sure, this whales wanted to have the thrill of risking to make millions in return.

This is absolutely nuts. The only folks that would pull of these kinds of bets are absolute FOOLS or they are so filthy rich that they have that kind of FU MONEY. The kind of money where the world they live in can afford to lose one hundred grand and not bat an eyelash, which is honestly crazy to me that some people have this kind of wealth. High roller bets is a different type of game that I honestly do not wish to partake in even if I did have that kind of cash.

[Peanutswar]

Thats what we called a high risk, high reward. For those who have a lot of money its seems its just a small amount to them to take a willing a risk with this imagine if you hit a max win with that amount its a win win situation to you thats how gambling works, if there is no risk you aint playing gambling. Now it depends on you if you will take tha risk to get a good return or ended up losing the money. Its like the same concept of why wasting time in the casino with a small amount but not to assured to win so instead make a less effort with a huge amount.

[fruktik]

There are likely people with this kind of opportunity. Why not? If someone is wealthy and enjoys playing slots, they can afford it. I've personally seen players who lost a year's salary in a matter of minutes. Afterward, they calmly left the gambling establishment. And they returned a few hours later to play again at high stakes. Of course, this was a shock to me, as I couldn't understand such passionate people, but then again, I've been like that myself, only with much more modest means.

[mv1986]

WOW
Honestly these are the only reasons to play slots few spins, high jackpots....
I think there is likewise a market also for these big bonuses, despite these can appear somewhat rare or not useful.
Imagine they can just use as a bonus for a VIP - "100K bonus buy" even if you don't win, there is an huge ticket/promo...

To be honest I don't think that is surprising at all. If you are a billionaire or have hundreds of millions and want to brag in front of others or love the kick for the moment and you have to decide whether you lit your fireplace with dollar bills or go for a bonus buy, I think there are people doing this. I know it is all about promo and Drake doesn't lose anything most likely, but when he can lose $1.5 million on a single bet, he can probably as well play a small bonus buy of $100k.

There is also a chance that the casino just offers it, but once you click it there is a technical glitch or whatever, but they know that once someone finds this max bet option, they will get good public coverage. Lots of talk about them.

More interesting to me is, what is the max win multiplier for that slot? Because if there is a bonus buy available for $100k, what the hell is the max payout?

[swogerino]

I honestly was watching the last picture description of the highest bonus buy which quite frankly is misleading. It says 1 in a 5 spins chance to give max win and if I got it correctly it means that since you have 5 free spins there then most likely you will get a max win. I bet my house though that you don't always get the max win from that bonus and this is why I say is misleading. As for who can afford it or not I think it is crystal clear that only whale players can afford to buy an almost 100.000 dollars buy bonus.

I saw it mostly on high roller streamers but we all know that most of their balance is part of the casino partnership to create an entertaining high roller content.

However, there’s indeed many high roller player that bet 100K above like for example on VIP table on blackjack which they bet 50K on multiple table. Some of them after being frustrated losing on blackjack might resort on slot game bonus game with that amount for a chance to recover quickly what they lose.

The guy, who could bet 100K on slots is either a multimillionaire or the most degenerate gambling addict ever. Or maybe both...
Perhaps there are super rich gamblers, who would spend money on such bonus buy offer, but I have doubts that super rich people would gamble on an online casino. Most wealthy people are in the 0.1% because they value their money and they won't throw them left and right.
However, there are rich gambling addicts like the rapper Drake and I can definitely imagine a guy like Drake placing such bets and buying such bonuses. This is neither good or bad for the industry, because 99,9% of the gamblers won't bet 100K on slots and they won't pay attention to this bonus buy offer anyway.

[jcojci]

I don't know that but I guess that will only comes to those who have a lot of money and willing spending much on a slot. They want to play with their luck and thinks they can win big but that is not for small gamblers. Small gamblers do not have risking too much or chasing the win. They might end up losing the money because no guarantee of win big so they should use small money they can afford. But we have Drake who placing much money in a bet

[Kelward]

Big rollers will definitely afford this because they gat the money and it's nothing to them since it's the amount of money that they can afford to lose. I am a low income earner and bet according to the size of my leftover funds. I cannot buy such a huge amount of bonus. The money is a life changer down here in my country.

All fingers are not equal which means that what is a life changing amount for me would be something that another person can afford to lose so I'm not surprised that somebody somewhere can afford to lose millions of dollars in gambling. We have to know our level of income and plan how much we can afford to gamble from it, if a gambler is foolish enough to gamble with all their money because somebody else is using such amounts if they lose they will become broke and frustrated. Financial management is important for everybody to spend according to their income and as far as gambling goes gamblers should make sure that they only gamble from their left over cash because loses are inevitable.

I think, the size of the bet itself tells you nothing about whether it's a responsible gambling or not. A $100k bet made by someone having billions is not an irresponsible gambling. If someone places a $100k bet and it's all his money, it's irresponsible, even he bets on an outcome that has 99% probability of happening, let alone on a slot spin or even on a bonus game, where can easily get only 50% of the money back.

I also agree with the latter part, so I'm leaning toward this being a bad move ^{[e.g., such things can even sometimes encourage, or rather persuade, somewhat high rollers to adjust their limits and that usually doesn't end well]}.
^{- In addition to that, there's probably going to be strict AML checks that most of us hate to deal with.}
