Intercasino Bonus Question

[Jim Kuhn]

I see where the poker room has a $40 each month bonus for playing 250 hands. Is there also a deposit bonus? How do you get the $80 casino bonus each month? I think for this you must play through 20X or bet $1600. Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

Deposit $80 into their poker site then go download their casino software. You are correct that it takes $1600 in bets to clear this $80 but once you do it can be used at the poker table. Doing $5 blackjack it takes about 2-3 hours. If you want help with basic startegy for their software i can help you on this... just let me know. Also be aware that that if you lose the $80 before meeting the wager requirement the uncleared wager requirement carries over to the next month. For example, if you lose you $80 and had only wagered $1200 you would then need to wager $2000 the next month (400+1600). Also be aware that this account at the casino is one and the same as your poker account....so be careful you dont lose more than the $80. I hope this helps.

I wish they would change this since I've quickly lost my $80 bonus money twice already (hit a run of really bad cards where dealer hit BJ 9 times to my 1). I'm so far in the hole it would take hours and hours to dig out. I emailed Ryan Hartley about reconsidering this rule but haven't heard back.

I dont think they are going to change this rule at all... it is there to stop attempts of abuse....which we are all guilty /images/graemlins/grin.gif i was wondering how much you were betting? i wager $5 a hand and it takes a little more than an 2 hours to clear. maybe your bets are too big?...or maybe just a really bad run of cards

I was betting $10 a hand but with splitting and/or doubling down of course. I think 9:1 BJs in favor of the house qualifies as a bad run of cards. It happens though.

[Cubswin]

Im not a BJ expert but at $10 a hand you have only 8 betting units to play with. Your risk of ruin is quite high before you make your 160th $10 bet. Try switching to $5 a hand and use the strategy card on this page: http://www.onlineblackjackguide.com/intercasinofullreview.html (DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation).

It will take twice as long to clear the bonus but you have a much better chance at teh free money this way.

Instead of playing one hand at a time for $5, play 5 hands at a time for $1. Your ROR is significantly decreased and your playing time is virtually the same.

Thats a great idea except intercasino has a $2 minimum and you can't play multi-handed.

Had the opposite to the guy who had 9:1 bad streak.

Deposited $300 at start of October. Played the 250 raked hands and $2 per hand BlackJack. Took 5 hours at Blackjack and cashed out $612. Games seemed very soft, only played $1/$2 and £1/£2 limit Hold 'em though.

Where are these $1 multi-handed tables you speak of? Are you using the download version or the no download version?

[lunchmeat]

I'm using the downloaded version. When the "upgrade assistant" pops up, click on "multi-handed blackjack" and it will download. Customer service should be able to answer any other questions you have... but at Intercasino you never know.
