Be The Dealer casino... what's the catch?

[KSOT]

If you can be the dealer and play with the casino's edge, what is the downside to it?

[FlopComesBricks]

The casino takes a commission.

[KSOT]

I see. Any idea how much?

1.5% if you are the dealer with the required points and bankroll.

There are TONS of donks that still have no idea how to play most every game on there.

I know this doesn't address you post, but I thought it was worth mentioning that it took me about 2 months to get paid from BTD.

Also, I was immediately barred from participating in any future bonuses (i.e. I was labelled a bonus abuser). I was NOT, however, barred from playing in the casino. I'd just have to do it without a bonus (yeah, that'll happen).

Hmmm, that doesn't sound promising. Is it just because you cashed out right after clearing your bonus? I should try and avoid that I s'pose...

Sorry, I should have explained this in my post. Thanks for pointing it out.

The answer to your question is YES - I put in $200, got a $200 bonus, worked off the wr, and cashed out immediately. I received an email banning me from future bonuses before (I think) I even got an email acknowledging my cashout request.

I generally don't believe in cover play unless I am going to play at that casino in the future (which was n/a on this one), or if I'm going to hit some more casinos in that group (which I'm not sure about, I did BTD when I was still pretty inexperienced and didn't think about stuff like that). Basically, I wasn't going to play there in the future anyway, I already knew their reload bonuses weren't that good, so I didn't care about the pseudo-ban.

But if I'm the dealer, that means I get the commission, right? Sweet!

I deposited about 5 or 6 times via wire transfer,receiving a 20% bonus each time on 1,000.I was lucky and won at BJ and also the Dealer.I picked my opponants for dealing.It's a 1.5% commission but it's a .75 neg EV for the player.They first sent me an email admiring my play,then came the no more bonus email.It took me about 3 months to get paid.I always remember what their help said,"I don't have any legitmate excuse why u didn't get paid."I still thought it might be worth it without the bonus but never tried.You have to earn dealer points first so u can be the dealer.When I saw people staying on 14 against a 7,I figyred I had the best of it.
