Default Re: I think this is my last month for Interpoker bonus.

I've been clearing the bonus in the casino since InterPoker went to 8x raked hands a few months ago (June, I believe).

First month, I lost the bonus money playing Pontoon at $5 a hand. That month I deposited $90 and got $90 playable but not withdrawable (until wagering requirements were met) added to account up front. Lost the $90 bonus before meeting the wagering requirements. Withdrew my $90 and waited till the next month (July).

In July, I deposited $90, got another $90 bonus credited upfront and played $1 blackjack (yes, a grind!). Cleared June and July's wagering requirements and cashed out everything with a small BJ profit.

This month I deposited $100 for the $100 bonus and tried 5 hands of BJ at $1 per hand. Not only did I clear the wagering requirement in about 3.5 hours, but it seemed my variance was lower. Even though I lost about $4 at BJ, I cleared the bonus rather quickly at low variance and have now cashed out for the month.

Like a previous poster said, it's fairly quick, risk-free money that you can use to pad your poker bankroll or to buy some cool poker stuff you want.

Or you can just leave the money on the table. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
