I don't know anywhere that forces you to lose before the rebate is active. As soon as you sign up for the slot card, the rebate potential exists.

As I said previously (if anyone was paying attention), I've done two of these where I made half the rebate amount upon playing initially, similar to what FAB did. I then stopped, similar to what FAB did. Nothing stops you from making that much or much more before the rebate kicks in. So what FAB and I reported can obviously be done. You don't have to collect the rebate for the ongoing presence of the rebate to be the reason you won. I wouldn't play lousy pay tables in the first place (like at Cosmo) if I didn't have the rebate backing me up. It flipped the advantage.

I'm really curious. Does anyone else reading this besides Alan not understand this?
Hi RED:

As the original poster, I asked a question about a particular loss rebate offer where I understood there was two possible outcomes I was interested in pursuing: (1) I win some money say ($250) right away on high volatility games I do not normally play like $25 Double Diamond Slots, or $5 Wheel of Fortune and quit with a profit; or (2) I lose all $500, then play a low volatility game like 9/6 JOB on the free play and then cash out my free play as soon as I can for an expected minimal loss on my $500. To the extent you are discussing the same situation, then we are on the same page.
That's exactly what you went to do.

Go back to the links I posted of Jacobsons articles. One of which will give you the correct exit point.
