I think this is my last month for Interpoker bonus.

I've also noticed that 1/2 stud typically hits $20 every hand too, if you're into that sort of thing.

I've been clearing the bonus in the casino since InterPoker went to 8x raked hands a few months ago (June, I believe).

First month, I lost the bonus money playing Pontoon at $5 a hand. That month I deposited $90 and got $90 playable but not withdrawable (until wagering requirements were met) added to account up front. Lost the $90 bonus before meeting the wagering requirements. Withdrew my $90 and waited till the next month (July).

In July, I deposited $90, got another $90 bonus credited upfront and played $1 blackjack (yes, a grind!). Cleared June and July's wagering requirements and cashed out everything with a small BJ profit.

This month I deposited $100 for the $100 bonus and tried 5 hands of BJ at $1 per hand. Not only did I clear the wagering requirement in about 3.5 hours, but it seemed my variance was lower. Even though I lost about $4 at BJ, I cleared the bonus rather quickly at low variance and have now cashed out for the month.

Like a previous poster said, it's fairly quick, risk-free money that you can use to pad your poker bankroll or to buy some cool poker stuff you want.

Or you can just leave the money on the table. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

One thing to keep in mind is that after a few months they will lable you as a bonus abuser. Basically if you only play during times of a bonus, pull out immediately after clearing and only play BlackJack you will be flagged pretty quickly. Yes this is risk free, but if you don't take some precautions this will not last forever.

I've played 1/2 stud there regularly for months. You'll hit $20 about every third or fourth hand, but not every hand. Not by a long shot.
