What do you need to do to clear those bonuses? I'm pretty risk averse, and the variance playing at casinos to clear bonuses is horrible.

Well, it's actually pretty small for some of the casinos. Take Casino-on-Net. It gives a $200 bonus on a $200 deposit, and requires you to make $2000 in wagers. If you get the bonusbonus.net $50 credit, the algebraic expected value of this bonus is +$240. If you do 1000 $2 bets (should take about 4 hours), there is only a 1 in 300 chance you would come out behind. That's $60/hour. Maybe El Diablo wins more than that at poker, but there aren't a lot of other people around here who do.

Ok thanks, I'm going to try this out, gotta brush up on my blackjack skills though, its been a while. Can you send me a link to one of the charts for play? I remember the basics of what to hit and what to stay on versus what the dealer is showing, but not some of the hyperspecific double down and split situations.

parttimepro, since you are a Casino Whore I have 3 questions for you:

1) With Cyptologic casinos if you take advantage of their monthly deposit and lose the bonus but cash out your original deposit, next month if you deposit again for the bonus does your unfinished wagering requirements carry over as well?

2) With Casino365 in their terms and conditions it says 'your own money will be wagered before the bonus", I take this to mean if you deposit $200, they instantly give you another $200 (bonus money) and say you play BJ at $10 hits and lose $200, you have actually lost your money and not the bonus money which is the remaining $200. (since "your money is wagered first)

Is this true? (this was a huge deterrant in signing up for them.

3) If you do Starluck can you do Planetluck(SP?) also? I have heard a couple of scare stories about people having their Party poker accounts closed because they whored Party's casinos, any truth to this?

Many thanks from a losing poker player who could use some casino whoring on the side. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Cheers,
SDM

1)Yes

2)Yes, but it shouldn't be a deterrant. Once WR is over, the bonus is cashable. It's really no different than every other casino (minus Crypto's that you can do risk-free).

3)You should be fine. I have accounts at all the skins (minus Euro) and have taken 3 casinos (planetluck, starluck, and aceclub) for about a G total and have had no problems.

Many Thanks Iggy.

Re: Casino365, I know I'ma nervous nelly, but what do you think the chance is on a $200 deposit (total $400) to come away with less than $200 (ie- lose money) by flat betting BJ at $3 per hand?

Many Thanks,
SDM

The math part of ROR has never been my strong point. Overall, you're about .25% chance of busting completely. I think there's about a 15% chance of you losing the bonus completely but my math could be wrong there.

Need Homer to chime in...

I did Casino365, $200 deposit, $200 bonus, 2205 hands at $2 per, and cashed out $425. I was never below $360.

Lets see... 200/3 is 66 units. and 4000/3 is 1333 hands

Losing the bonus is around 15%....http://wizardofodds.com/blackjack/bjapx12.html
