i'm sure most of u tried casino whoring already but just some goodie that i'll share with u incase u haven't heard it.

CasinoBlasters casinos (including Golden Palace Casino, and Online Casino)
bonuses are now cashable.

what that means?

deposit 100$, u get 300$ bonus up front, wager $8000 worth and u'll be able to cash out.

****MATH comes here****

as the math shows it's definitely +EV

do it in pounds and u get 300pound bonus, which is more money than dollars!
my friend had a really nice run and ended up with a 750 POUND profit after completing his wagering requirements.
my best run was a 330 Dollar profit only, i hate him.......

anyways, give it a try.
and make sure u play Blackjack Surrender (low house advantage)
or try Pontoon (lower House advantage, but way bigger variance)

I never played in any casino games until now.
And i don't know ifit's a good time to start because i don't know nothing about it.
You said : " deposit 100$, u get 300$ bonus up front, wager $8000 worth and u'll be able to cash out."
What really that means. I don't have a clue.

What it means is, you deposit $100 on the site and they give you $300. So you have a balance of $400. Then you have to gamble with that money until you've made $8,000 worth of bets (is that correct nxtyear? seems kinda high). Once you've hit that amount, you can cash out.

Even if you're not really up on how to play casino games, you can use something like the odds chart at Wizard of Odds and play correctly. For anyone interested in doing casino whoring, a friend of mine is really into it for bankroll building and wrote a great guide about how to do it.

yeah it is kinda high,
but the fact is that the bonus is given beforehand, hence u can use it to wager to meet that 8000 requirement. 20x(D+B)

this is different from most other sites where bonus is given only afterwards,
hence you need to deposit sufficient amount to cover the variance urself.
but with a 300% bonus Up Front, ur basically using that money to cover the variance.

maximum you lose is 100$, but you can potentially make much much more than that from it.

So in order to win that $300 bonus i must be up to the $8000 requirement.
So what happens to the rest $7600. It's given to you also???

I played at Sultan once. They gave me 15 minutes of free play and $500 to play. I ended up with a significant balance. I was able to transfer the money with real money (max $200) to a real money account with a deposit.

I didn't read the T&C too well. After wagering $4000 I broke even and made the $200. I withdrew the money and have not played at a casino since. $4000 was tough to clear. I can't imagine continuing for another $4000 to get to $8000.

Sounds interesting. I was looking for some info on this last January, but now that I've re-built my Poker Bankroll, I'll stick to poker. Online BJ is my Achilles Heel, since wagering e-money makes it more like a video game.

Sensei, I'll answer you since no one else has. I've whored a few casino bonuses.

What he's saying is that the bonuses are:

bettable (meaning you can play with the bonus while you're clearing it).
cashable (meaning when you've cleared it, you can cash it out)

In casino play, bonuses are usually not bettable if they're cashable (until you've cleared it). The opposite is "sticky" bonuses which you can always bet but are never cashable (you can bet it and your wins from those bets are cashable).

and require a 20x D+B WR. In plain gobbledygook, that means that the wagering requirement (WR) is 20 times the amount of the deposit plus the bonus. 20x(deposit+bonus)=20x(100+300)=$8000

Here's how this would work:

you deposit $100. Instantly your account is $400, but you cannot cash out yet. You can cash your deposit, but if you do it early, you forfeit the bonus. Some places won't even allow you to cash the initial deposit until you've met requirements (and it's in the terms, so if you don't like it, don't go there).

Now you have $400 to wager. You go to blackjack (some sites do not allow blackjack to be used to clear a bonus, check carefully). You bet $2 per hand. After 100 hands, you've wagered $200. This is 1/40th of your wagering requirement. It would take you 4000 hands to clear at $2 per hand. Blackjack, if played correctly, is only a slight favorite for the house, so the theory is that you will either a) win a small amount plus clear your bonus, or b) lose a small amount playing but come out ahead because of the bonus.

I usually play 5 hands of blackjack at $4 per when clearing a casino. At fifty hands per hour X 5 spots at table X $4, I'm wagering $1000 per hour. I would clear this bonus in 8 hours, so $300/8 = $37 per hour. I may look this up!


Five hands reduces variance, but $4 per hand increases variance, so it's about the same as playing 2 or 3 hands at $2. I take a slightly higher risk at $4 per hand of a bad downswing, but it increases my hourly rate by so much that it's worth the risk.

aha nice informative post Randy.
you didn't really have to reply to it ithink because it was a 4 month old thread.

but i guess it'll inform any future viewers of this thread so well done.

+ the original Poster is a fool

Wow 20x the deposit and bonus is a lot of work to clear a bonus. I miss the good old days when most casinos where just 3 times the DB and then the bad casinos where five and seven times. I guess there were too many casino whores around to keep those type of bonuses around.
