25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
Got an email from Eurobet saying they'll give ya 25 chips for 10x Playthrough. Sounds like a good deal? And its monthly too.

I just checked out BW forums and it says that its a good bonus to do except tht the software is pretty slow.

They talk about doing it in Pounds, but I'm paranoid about the conversion fees and such. I'm also wondering if its better to play Single Deck BJ or just regular BJ.

Edit:I just started in USD and the speed of the software makes CON look likethe fastest damn BlackJack game in the world. I could press the hit button, go make a sandwhich, wash my hands, and still see that it hasn't responded yet.

It's a good bonus if you have the time each month.

Yeah, the software is slow, but at such a small playthrough it kinda evens out.

Transfer $25 from your sports account to the casino, using the monthly code (click the "Free $25" banner on the casino home page to get you're currency's code). The code changes every month, it's all very silly.

When you transfer, you will receive NO confirmation that the code was accepted. You will have NO evidence of the bonus whatsoever until you clear the bonus.

Wager $250. About 10-15 seconds after clearing the WR, you will get a popup telling you that you've received the bonus. Cashout.

Play single-deck, it's a lower HA.

When you first make the transfer of funds to the casino there is a message displayed saying that the bonus code has been accepted. I've been doing this bonus for the last several months, its about the closest thing to fast, guaranteed money around these days. 25 GBPs for a few minutes of time? Yes please.

Thanks for all the advice. I'm guessing its more EV to play through Pounds depite the exchange rate fee thing. It took me about half an hour playing 3 handed BJ and made me $18. Worth it I say.

When I transfered the money, it said that the bonus was pending or something, but I stil have not recieved it and I have played over $250. Does it ever take longer than a few seconds for you bonus to show up?

gila 03-16-2005 12:22 AM

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
Oh, and when I go into the gaming history section, it shows my available money to withdrawel, then it shows some sort of "pending money"; this figure is 75 so maybe there is some prior bonus setting there I don't know about? And maybe they are waiting for me to clear this before releasing my other bonus?

Argh, I want my bonus, already got my 20 beat by 21 about 50 time; im getting killed.

Hmmm thats weird. The bonus is added to my account the instant I cleared it. I think you should email them on your problem.

Over the past several months, I have never gotten a message that the bonus was pending. I guess other people's experiences are different.

It may take a few minutes, but you should have it by now. If not, play a few more hands. I've always gotten it almost immediately at $250 wagered.

Well thats really weird. Maybe they credited you with $75 bonus money by mistake and you need to clear 10x that. I would email them to sort this all out.

Did you play in pounds or USD? What was your bet size, and what is three handed blackjack? PS: I understand very little about this. Just learning. =TomBk

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
I played in USD, but I'll do pounds next time. I betted $1 of three hands playing Blackjack (although I should have played SingleDeck BJ) So each round I was wagering $3 which comes out to about 83 hands. If you're new you might want to take it slow and only wager $1 on one hand of BJ.

moondogg,

bet $250 in 1 hand?! double up or go broke for $25 bonus?!

Is it better to use the code for USD or GBP? Can I even use GBP, as when I signed with Eurobet for Poker I think they asked what currency I wanted to use and I entered USD. How much is a GBP worth in USD anyway, and what is the play requirement then? Do you get 25 GBP for playing 250 GBP or $25 for playing $250? If thats the case, then whatever currency is worth the most would return the most. Is that what were talking about? Is there a penalty for exchanging into or back out of GBP? =TomBk

I took this bonus tonight - or I should say my wife took this bonus tonight. I cashed a small amount out of my poker roll and transferred it to the casino for the $25 bonus. Of course, my wife gets on the computer and starts playing 3 card poker and wins a few bucks and wants to play it all out. So the "$25 bonus" nets me a negative...Eurobet casino wins, wife wins (becuase she got to play), bvaughn loses. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Started playing 1 deck blackjack. Now I don't know much about this game, but on pushes, the house is taking the money and when the house and I both bust, the house is taking the money. Is that normal? I'm down $53. and a most of that is due to these pushes and double busts. Also, if I double, I only get one more card no matter what it is. Is that normal for blackjack?

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
The house isn't taking money on pushes. You are seeing something wrong. Yes, if you bust, you lose no matter what happens to the house. And yes doubling gets you only one more card. I get the feeling you aren't playing anywhere close to optimum strategy and this bonus may not be +EV for you if you aren't.

Have you ever played blackjack before?

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
Never played before.

I'm using wizard of odds chart so I guess I'm OK there. I see a couple of anomolies in the chart which I'll post about later.

I went to five dollar bets though and I was playing three hands at a time which was clearing that bonus uber fast [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img], but that seems to have been a mistake [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] as I started losing and I switched to three dollar bets when I was down fifty five bucks, and then one dollar when I was down seventy bucks. I bottomed at -$75 and I've crawled back to -$65 and I've probably almost cleared the bonus. I guess it will take me three months to get even now. I'm learning though...the hard way, but I'm learning.

The program is pushing ties now, but I could swear it was taking my money on ties earlier.

No. I play 3 hands at $1 each. I only start $25 in the account while playing.

The EV is about the same whether you play $1 hands or $5 hands, and it's about the same whether you play 1 hand at a time or three. You can slightly increase your EV by busting often, Ed Miller had a post about this a long time ago, but I would recommend sticking to $1 or $ bets at Eurobet.

However, by increasing your bet size you're increasing your variance in order to increase your hourly rate. There's not really an optimal strategy for that, because it's a personal decision based on your own risk tolerance.

Yea, you play $500 and get $50, then you play $250 and get the monthy $25. I don't know where the $50 bonus came from, but it sure was nice.

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
my account shows $75 pending also. My first month doing this skin. I've played thru $380 so far. So if i continue i'll get a $50 and $25 bonus. Didn't see anything about that in the e-mail i got. But if it worked for you guess i'll try it.

I only deposited $25 and am up to $51 now plus the bonus.

Barry_G 03-16-2005 02:28 PM

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
up to $65 down to $30 at $2 single hand. Well over $500 in playthru no money. I'm not happy.

TheMetetron 03-16-2005 06:44 PM

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
I don't get it. I deposited the money into the casino and I've played through the bonus requirements, but nothing has been credited yet and no response from support in about 12 hours. Where are you guys seeing pending bonuses? It doesn't appear to even have the option of a bonus next to casino? Was I supposed to do the bonus in "games"?

SuitedSixes 03-16-2005 10:01 PM

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
I chose the GBP code (LOW) to receive my bonus in GBPs, but it looks like I am working the bonus through in dollars. Does that mean I am going to need to play about $480 to get the bonus rather than $250?

TomBrooks 03-16-2005 10:27 PM

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
I saw a note (I think it was in the window where the bonus codes were), that you must enter the bonus code that corresponds to the currency your account is in, and that only that bonus code would work.

I thought about trying the GBP bonus code anyway because the value of a GBP is double that of a USD, but I didn't want to take a chance on screwing the whole thing up.

TomBrooks 03-16-2005 11:15 PM

Re: 25 Free Chips For Eurobet Casino?
 
I'm playing 1 deck Blackjack at Coral and it indicates it is shuffled between every hand. Is that the way one deck Blackjack is done at the casinos?

I'm need to know in order to know which Wizard of Odds chart is best to use, 1 deck or 4 Deck.
