What to do when not hitting the casino bonuses?

[tinga81]

I am rather new to the casino sites, and have just began whoring them with my extra poker money. I was wondering if any of you play at a casino site when they are not offering a bonus to their players?

Does anyone auto-play blackjack, or video poker, or another game possibly?

From what I have gathered, is that many people won't play at a casino while they aren't offering a bonus to their players because in the long run, it's -EV for many of the games, and they're not even worth the time and/or effort.

Is this the proper way to go about playing these sites, or do these sites not serve a purpose outside of whoring the bonuses? (Besides just gambling)
