Volatility question

Been thinking about how slot volatility affects the promo bonuses I chase. Usually I try to stick to the ones with lower volatility since I feel like I can make the promo bankroll stretch out, get through wagering requirements smoother, and avoid busting out on a few spins. But sometimes I wonder if I'm actually missing out on bigger potential returns by not mixing in more high volatility stuff.

There’s always that push and pull - stretch the balance or swing for a big hit, especially when you’re using bonus funds with a max cashout anyway. I keep track of session stats and noticed I rarely clear much profit when I play it too safe, but I also hate busting the balance after five minutes. Anyone else struggled to find the right balance? Curious if people have noticed a sweet spot, or if just taking what the variance gives is the only real approach.

Not sure if my usual cautious style is too disciplined for promos or just practical.
