Littlewoods Casino bonus for December

[celiboy]

This was part of my monthly whoring routine - good news is that this month the bonus is 50 pounds and not 25. Bad news is that it is no longer risk free as you have to clear the WR first then get the bonus credited. In the past the balance I'd take to the BJ tables was my deposit + the pending bonus and now it's just my deposit. Wondering if anyone else noticed this or maybe I'm mistaken.

I emailed support I thought maybe it was just me.

No you can no longer play with the bonus. You have to "earn" it first.

i emailed support too. I hope this is just a one month thing as they called it a special for December.

This was discussed over at the BW forums and the argument was unclear. Anyone have any idea if/how this changes your EV? It doesn't seem like it would but I did read an argument over at BW which said otherwise. Your risk is obviously higher though.

as long as you're properly bankrolled, the +EV of the bonus is the same whether you get the bonus up front or at the end.

if you're worried about busting out even though there's a free 45GBP or so sitting there on the table, then don't play.

Why on earth would you not want this to continue? More bonus money = +EV. WR is the same, 20x. ROR may be a little higher but come on.

I'm definitely still doing it. I just wanted to confirm that the EV doesn't change, despite the higher RoR.
