InterCasino - Status of clearing a bonus
 

What is the best method of clearing a bonus at INtercasino? I am currently playing Pontoon, I have no idea how many how hands I need to clear for the bonus to be transfered to me.

I play blackjack and 500 hands betting $5 will does it for me. You have to wager 25X the bonus amount and it helps to keep track of the amount wagered yourself.

There is a log viewer (when you click on the "games" tab it will be there) and you can track to make sure you hit the required 25x bonus

BTW, did you see that pic I posted of a dapper gentleman I imagine dressed not too much unlike yourself in that thread about Arizona cardrooms?

The log viewer isn't great since it doesn't calculate splits and doubles for you. I use the comp page; 1 comp point for 10 units bet in pontoon. I don't play blackjack, but it would be easy enough to figure out if it is the same for that game.

I open windows calculator, type in 5+ and then you just need to click the equals button at the start of each hand and each time you double or split. Quick and easy WR tracker!

Ehh, I don't even keep track there anymore. Every so often I'll go to the cashier and see if my withdrawable amount has increased to match my balance. It results in me going over the WR by ~$500 or so sometimes, but that's about $2-3 in lost EV. No big deal and it saves some headaches.

When it "feels like" I should be getting close, I call the cust service # and ask them how much more I have to go then count wagers from that point... [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Sort of an unrelated ? but I figured Id stick it in here rather than make ANOTHER crypto post. I deposited $100 to get $100 this month and was playing $2 BJ and running HORRIBLE. Right now Im back down to my original $100 with probably close to $800 left to wager. Would the best strategy be to wait till next month and clear everything then (hoping to actually run good at SOME POINT) or to just keep playing now with my $100 to "clear" the WR requirement (while probably losing $ in the process).

From a pure EV standpoint, I don't think it matters at all whether you play the hands now or next month, as long as you are sure you are going to play next month.

Personally, I would go ahead and clear it now, so I didn't get into the habit of letting a big WR build up.
