I just lost NOTHING and feel like I got kicked in the nuts

The other question is do they actually pay if someone wins with a free buyin? These casino sites seem to be a law unto themselves compared to poker.

how do you get this freee 50 bucks anyway?

Well, you didn't really lose nothing. Once your balance was up to $500, your EV was a shade under $500. Hope that makes you feel better. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Same thing has happened to me. They have given me 50 "free" three or four times now and I always play BJ with it. I've never gotten my 50 above $65...

At least your's had a bit of thrill in it.
My hand played out like this

Dealt to grrouchie Q9 (stand)
Dealt to Dealer 75 (hit) J
heh
quick way to give them their own 50 bucks back.

Too bad they were smart enough to say you can't use that money in the poker room.

My advice if you run it up to 500 at BJ, put the next bet on a sporting event as that CANT be rigged (not that I know the BJ was, but I know the other way cant be)

And you can bet $500 on the other team (if the odds are close one to one or adjust accordingly), so the bet would be risk free (minus vig).
