NOT fond of the Interpoker interface, is there any FAQ on clearing the $90 with Blackjack? What's the EV?

I don't know the HA of Intercasino BJ, but assuming it's 0.5%, EV = 90 - .005*2250 = $78.75. Pontoon is an even better bet, with a HA of ~0.1%. It's a risk-free bonus, so once you lose $90, stop playing. I'm not sure what else you need to know.

That's it, I guess.

I always clear it playing BJ... this year I have only busted once/ 8 months. I agree BJ is a "safe" game to play to clear your "free money", BUT, my friend played Let It Ride last night "gambling" her free bonus $$. Well, she hit a straight flush THEN a full house. She turned her free $100 into 5k. (Intercasino is Fedexing her check to arrive tomorrow). Oh well, I was excited making $365 at BJack! [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

It's my understanding that if you cash out after losing your bonus money, you have to finish the wagering requirement for the lost bonus before beginning the wagering on the next month's bonus. If this is so, wouldn't it be best to just grind it out?

It doesnt matter whether you decide to grind it out or not - if you quit you'll just have more work to do next month.

I was wondering about the WR after you bust out. Let's say I am clearing in the casino and I clear $1250 of the $2500 WR then I bust.

Now, if I continue to play another $1250 during august even though I have already busted out the bonus does that mean that I will only need to wager $2500 (assuming a $100 September bonus) in September or does it stop when I bust out and I would need to clear $2500 + $1250 in September?

Also, if in August after busting out the bonus after clearing $1250 in the casino, I decide not to play anymore in the casino this month but I play at the poker tables, can I finish the August WR at the tables by playing the casino equivalent of the remaining $1250 WR which would be 250 more raked hands?

I ask this because I had been told that you can meet the WR by playing a combination of casino and poker raked hands.

Thanks in advance for any information.

^^^^ Can anyone shed some light on this for me please?

You should be able to "clear" the rest of it by playing either in the Casino or Poker. My question is just whether its worth it or not. Im starting to think its not worth risking my own $ on a game that is absolutely killing me right now. BTW, maybe a post for the probability forum but what are the odds of splitting aces only to get an A and 2 THREE times in a row?

I definitely don't support the risk-free route if you plan on using the casino in the future. If you're just trying out the casino once and only once, then do it risk free. Otherwise, you just screw yourself in future months.

I had a pretty nice win on VP this month. I was only able to withdraw about 2/3 of it though because I started doing IC risk-free and they caught up to me. I ended up busting the rest.
