Has anyone done this? If I transfer $100 there and play war $5 at a time until I reach $1000 bet I would get $100 bonus? Isn't this +EV? Thanks.

why would you play WAR to clear the bonus?

thought it was closes to 50/50 odds which would give me the best chance to not lose my money. What would be the best way to do it?
Play something that gives you better than 50/50.
Like poker.

war in a casino format is not breakeven. this is because when you go to war and win, you only win 1 bet, but if you lose, the dealer takes both bets (there is a bonus for a double tie but it is not enough to offset the edge).
blackjack is the game with the lowest overall player disadvantage to the house. get a basic strategy chart online and follow it exactly to ensure minimum loss while clearing the bonus.

i do play poker, but this is their casino bonus. I am trying to find out the best way to get their 100% bonus without losing my money. You have to play 10x the amount. I thought if I transferred $100 and played something for $1000 it would be an easy bonus to get. Maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks. I do know the basic strategy on blackjack, but it seems like I could lose my money quicker there than war. Not sure why I feel that way. War just seems more breakeven than BJ, but you are probably right.

Since the bonus is 100% for up to $200, I'd wait until you can afford the $200. No sense giving up free money.
Odds regarding war can be found here (http://wizardofodds.com/war). BJ is a much better deal.

I'm not an expert, but I'd say $1 or $2. Allow our casinowhores to advise you better, though. You can find optimal strategy for playing BJ at Casino 365 here (http://www.casinobonuspages.com./all-casinos/casino-365.php).

The house edge on Casino War is significantly higher than its edge on BJ.

HA in war is 2.88%. Play BJ switch if they allow it, if not, play BJ surrender or regular BJ.

Thanks. I think i will give it a try.
Does anyone know approximately how long it would take to clear the 4,000 wager requirement at Casino 365 playing BJ?
Don't play BJ switch, noob (no offense).
The extra .57% ($5.7) is not worth the hassle if you are not familiar with the game.
Play regular BJ and your hourly rate will be much higher.
That being said, BJ switch is a perfect game for Golden Palace/Grand Online.

I played switch for 3 hours and came out exactly even. I like that I can play 2 hands at once. I think I know what I am doing, but will look into it more. Or if you have any advice I would appreciate it. I wish I could play more than one hand at BJ then I would, but I am clearing the bonus twice as fast this way I feel. Thanks for everyone's help so far.

Has anyone ever played BJ there and won?

At Bet365? Yeah, made almost $200 on top of the bonus. Had a great run, $2 bets. Perhaps the best I've ever run at BJ.
I won a bunch. But why does it matter?

Because i have played about 2000 hands of BJ and BJ switch and i am still looking for a run of some sort. It just keeps eating away at my bankroll. No matter what hand I get. You would think some sort of run would be coming, but maybe that's just BJ. At least on party poker i got up sometimes.

Thanks for everyone's help. I made $20 while gettting the $200 bonus after being down as much as $85. I made all $1 bets mostly on BJ switch. Thanks again.
