Had $90 from intercasino. Bet $45 on the first hand, got dealt 11. I doubled to hit a lucky 3 for a 14 total. I hit again to go to 17, then begrudgingly hit trying to draw a 5 carder on a double down paying 2:1. Of course its approrpriate that I got the 5 for a lovely 22, and a nice little wait until October for another shot.

I'm down some absurd amount at Will Hill every month I try it. I have something like $8,000 in "turn requirment" left over from the last 5 months or so of bonuses I haven't been able to cash, all at pontoon. Being risk averse (you know the point at which I stop wagering), I'm reaching the point where the bonus is so close to neutral EV that it's not worth doing. Of course, I still keep playing ponoon every 1st or 2nd of the month at every Crypto casino, variance be damned.

I've been doing Pontoon the last 3 months at InterCasino instead of doing the Poker side. The 1st month I deposited $100 and got $100. I cashed out at $50. Then I stacked 2 months and had $200 deposited and $190 in bonus. I cashed out at $400. So so far it's been ok. BTW, I only bet $5 a hand. I do have a problem with their software though. When I split aces it crashes the software.

Up $312.50 since I switched over to Pontoon to clear Interpoker ($180 bonus + 132.50 game profit).

I have been the luckiest person casino whoring.

I decided to play at Interpoker for the $100 bucks this month, but lost at the table games and took $25 to Video Poker where I managed to hit my first online Royal (and I thought it was fixed [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) for $1308 on the 25-cent progressive (10-handed - drew two cards).

Now if I could just figure out why I can't beat blackjack the past three months.

Up over $1k on two cryptos doing Pontoon. You are not luckier than I. I ran super hot last month too.

Made alot of bling last month, this month will be in the black for certain, as I've only got two cryptos left to do, and am up $400 (bonuses included).

I love pontoon.

More then recouped the cash at Inter. Variance, you are a cruel cruel friend....

Omni saved my ass this month.

Omni Casino: up $300
InterCasino: up $90
Will Hill: up $20
Littlewoods: down 50 pounds
Totalbet: down 15 pounds
UK Betting: up 15 pounds

So the only place where I actually made money before the bonus was Omni.

Over the past 3 months before bonuses, I'm down 100 pounds at Littlewoods, 110 pounds at UK Betting, and 90 pounds at Totalbet - betting 1-2 pounds/hand at all of them. Without Omni and Intercasino, where I bet $5-$10/hand, I'd be screwed.

I LOVE PONTOON! (except when my 5 card trick 20 gets beaten by a 5 card trick 14).

I play $10/hand, what does everyone else play? I haven't lost yet in the 4 months I've been doing this, I'm a Pontoon luckbox!

October Intercasino bonus. $90 deposit + $90 bonus = $180 balance. Bet $5/hand. After $760 WR, the balance is $10. Up the bets to $10/hand. Things get a little better, and I manage to hang around just long enough to clear the WR before busting out completely. Not a good way to start the month...

5 card trick vs. dealer 5 card trick = murderous rage

$100 deposit + $90 bonus = $490 cashout @ $10/hand.

At $5 hand, went down $110 pretty quick, then started to hit Pontoons and 5 card tricks left and right.

Up= $230 + $90 bonus= +340 woohooo
