What do you need to do to clear those bonuses? I'm pretty risk averse, and the variance playing at casinos to clear bonuses is horrible.

Well, it's actually pretty small for some of the casinos. Take Casino-on-Net. It gives a $200 bonus on a $200 deposit, and requires you to make $2000 in wagers. If you get the bonusbonus.net $50 credit, the algebraic expected value of this bonus is +$240. If you do 1000 $2 bets (should take about 4 hours), there is only a 1 in 300 chance you would come out behind. That's $60/hour. Maybe El Diablo wins more than that at poker, but there aren't a lot of other people around here who do.
