Bonus?

I have dropped a few of the Cryptos out of my rotation after they altered the clearing requirements.

I now clear the InterPoker bonus playing BJ. I believe it is now 10X raked to clear in their poker room. While I would complete a 10X bonus at most sites, I cannot bear to play this many hands on the slow ass, CPU bogging, Crypto software.

I would recommend doing PokerPlex. They claim you have to play 300 raked hands to clear, but they will unlock the bonus after 300 played hands.

Will Hill, UK Betting, and Total Bet are cake - bonus provided for 5 hours of play. I 4-table each site for 1h 15m and voila, bonus cleared.

As mentioned above, I hit up the InterCasino for their monthly BJ bonus as well as Will Hill's monthly casino.

Actually my wife now clears the blackjack bonuses.

I don't even touch Carribean Sun any longer.

IMHO:

PokerPlex is the best place to start for poker, and then hit WillHill, UK, and Totalbet in any order.

Play InterCasino pontoon instead of poker.

Carribean Sun is Fredo to me. Even if it was marginally profitable, it's just wrong to bother. Don't encourage these clowns.

Definitely do the WillHill casino bonuses, but make sure you do the UK and Totalbet bonuses as well. For UK and Totalbet, even if you don't have time to play there in a certain month, make sure you at least deposit 25 GBP, the bonuses stack and carry over, you can clear a whole bunch later playing risk-free pontoon.

I hadn't bothered with some of the Crypto casino bonuses because the WR was huge (40X) - that is why I was only clearing Will Hill and Inter in the Casino. The clearing requirements for those two sites were, IMHO, much more reasonable and thus worthwhile of my time.

Are the clearing requirements any more favourable if playing pontoon? At a few of the sites I have many stacked casino bonuses. Figured I'd be playing BJ into my grave trying to clear them.

A few other notes regarding the Crypto sites since everyone's mentioning them...

The Interpoker bonus did change from 5x to 8x recently, but the last few months they've had an add'l $30 for 300 hands weekend late in the month, that can be cleared concurrently with the $90 bonus. If you wait for this it's effectively a 6x $120 bonus.

Also, if you don't mind paying a little extra rake (and I think it's worth it), the £1/£2 tables on the Cryptos are astonishingly fishy, especially 6max.

Good luck.
