Despite your error of over depositing, clearing the bonus now has a positive expectation of $55. The fact that you've won $66 has no effect.

Put another way, you can cash out now an end the experience at a guaranteed +$66. Or you can clear the bonus and have an expected total finish of $66+$55 = $121.

Signed up for a 100%/$100 bonus at Lucky Emperor. I deposited $200 not realizing that this would increase my wagering reqirement.

Are you sure this is right? I did something similar at Starluck to get the signup and IGMpay bonus on the same deposit, then I realized that putting in extra to max out the IGMpay bonus might have screwed me when it came to the requirements for the signup bonus. But I talked to customer service and they said since only $100 of my $500 bonus counted towards the signup bonus, the wagering requirements would be the same as if I had deposited $100 for it. That seems stupid to penalize players for depositing more.

It depends on the casino. With Emperor this was the case.

Regardless of if it increases the WR, depositing more is a terrible idea. Assume it doesn't increase your WR. You deposit $100, they give you $100 for a total of $200. You lose it all, net loss is $200. You deposit $300, get $100, then you lose $200. Now you have lost $200 and you still have to keep playing because you haven't cleared the WR. Just for a future note, never deposit more than the required amount. This has nothing to do with variance.
