Why should poker bonus players play casinos? Simple: the money is much, much better. Casino-on-Net, Planetluck, and Starluck are low-hanging fruit that will give you the easiest $400 you’ll ever make.
This post is intended to supplement the excellent Casino Virgin FAQ (http://www.bonuswhores.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3793) at bonuswhores.com.
Starluck, Planetluck, and Casino-on-Net are the 3 easiest, lowest risk casinos to whore. Playing there is the equivalent of being a high-priced call girl for Charlie Sheen. If you do them correctly, your EV is $376 on the initial bonuses. You can add more than $100 to that by signing up through certain websites (see this post (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Number=2781462)), $40 in comp points, plus a couple hundred more on the reloads. Here’s how to do it:
Casino-on-Net has the best bonus of any online casino right now. If you deposit $200, they’ll give you another $200. The catch, if you can call it that, is that you’ll have to make $2000 in wagers. That sounds like a lot, but it’s actually pretty tiny. The house advantage in blackjack is about 0.4%, so if you bet $2000, you should expect to lose just $8. That means your expected value is $192, plus whatever you get through your sign up link.
1. Sign up for the casino and deposit $200. Do not use Neteller! This increases the wager requirement to $10,000. Use your bank account instead—it’s like writing a check.
2. Play blackjack using the strategy table found here. (http://wizardofodds.com/randomlogic)
What size bet? This depends on your available time compared to the amount of risk you can stand. Large and small bets have the same EV—the house advantage is around 0.4% whether you bet $2 or $25 at a time. The only strategic difference is that you’ll have a higher chance of losing money or busting out if you make big bets, but it’ll take longer to bet $2000 making $2 bets. If this is your first casino, I’d suggest sticking to $2-$5 bets so you don’t get hammered by bad luck.
How risky is it? It depends on how big of bets you make. If you stick to betting $2 per hand, the odds of you losing your entire $200 bonus are around 1 in 100. Sure, you’ll have to play blackjack for 5 or 6 hours, but you can do it when you’re too tired to play good poker.
How do I keep track? You can make little tick marks on a piece of paper or you can set up your computer’s calculator to keep track for you. Alternately, you can keep track by going to the casino lobby and looking at the comp points you’ve earned. Once you’ve earned $2.00 in comps, you’ve wagered $2000.
3. You’re done! You might want to play a little more than $2000, just so you don’t look like a bonus hunter (see the “Reloads” section below. Withdraw your money through the cashier. Casino-on-Net takes a long time to send you your money (7-10 days is typical), but they will send it.
Starluck and Planetluck are virtually identical. They both offer an initial bonus of $100 on a deposit of $100, and require $1600 in wagering before you can withdraw.
1. Sign up for the casino and deposit $100 using Neteller. You should get your extra $100 immediately.
2. Play the no-download Las Vegas Strip Blackjack. Use the strategy card on the left of this page (http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/bj4deck.html) to make your decisions.
NOTE: *Luck takes some time (up to 24 hours) to register how much you’ve wagered. Wait 1 day, then cash out. You can play at the other ‘Luck and get their bonus in the same way.
3. An extra $40 for answering surveys: I can’t believe they haven’t closed this loophole yet. From a thread at bonuswhores: (http://www.bonuswhores.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=8152)

Go to the cashier and click on "Players Club - iGlobalMedia Rewards Alliance". You'll receive a message saying an email validation code has been emailed to your registered email address. Once you've received the validation code, go back to the cashier and click on "Players Club - iGlobalMedia Rewards Alliance". Type in your validation code. If you don't receive the validation code, send an email to support@iglobalmediarewards.com and they will manually verify your email address. Now the trick is to get the survey page to show up so you can accumulate 2000 points. To do that, click on the "Link Accounts" tab/button. Enter bogus information and hit submit. You'll get an error message, but if you look on the right hand side of the screen, you'll see "iGlobalMedia SURVEY" and something like 'no active survey'. Click the link to see past surveys. Answer them all and redeem your 2000 points for an extra 20$ with no WR!

You can do this at both casinos for a total of $40.
4. Withdraw. These casinos usually pay in a day or so. You can do the other casino and get the same bonus.
Reloads
Okay, you just made $400 or so. You can make even more. All three of these casinos can be played at least twice.
Casino-on-Net offers 3 regular monthly reloads that are worth doing, though you’ll need to have a bit of money to get full value.
Simple Winnings Day: Deposit at least $100, and wager at least $300 to get a $30 bonus.
Happy Hour: Deposit during these special 2 hours of the month, and get a 10% bonus up to $200 on your deposit. Wager requirement is 20x bonus.
888 Day: This used to be advertised on their site, but now appears to be account-specific. Some people get popups advertising it. Deposit at least $888, wager at least $880, and get and $88 bonus. You’ll need to wager it 20 times before withdrawing.
As you can see, Casino-on-Net wants to give you another $200-$300 every month. However, they will eventually ban you from receiving these bonuses if you only deposit and play on the bonus days. Therefore, it is definitely worthwhile to deposit on non-bonus days and do a couple thousand dollars worth of wagering every once in a while.
Starluck and Planetluck offer the IGMPay bonus. This is a reward for linking your checking account to their casinos. You get 20% up to $100 on your first deposit using this method. You then need to wager 18x the bonus.
